Well, I really like this song, so I downloaded your video.
Let me start by complimenting you on the video and audio quality. It looked and sounded really good for the most part. I do have one complaint, though. If it weren't for the particular episode of Evangelion that you used, the widescreen would have looked very natural, but because I could see a half cut off timer, it was like a beacon. It made me cringe the same way that seeing a half cut off logo or the edges of removed subtitles does. Otherwise, it looked good.
As for the editing, I really like how the video started off, and the timing remained pretty constant throughout. However, the mood was just...I don't know...awkward. You said you were going for "a noble feeling," but the way you synched some of the lyrics so literally (namely with the Eva stuff at the beginning) and some of the anime you chose to use (FLCL???) just didn't fit at all. It almost came off as comedic and parody-like sometimes.
All in all, this is a decent video with some confused emotional messages being sent. Maybe some different anime would have been better, or, since you said your sources were only what you had on hand, maybe you could have just focused on the few anime that really fit the song the best.

Hi, thank you for your opinion. Ill take into account several things that you said.
Though, I have to say that I didn't remove any subtitles, the material I used didnt have any. Which logo? I duno what you're talking about =S. I chose widescreen so as to try smthg new.
Yeah, that part of the clip, the timer of eva didnt look so good, but well...
There was a lot of literally lyric sync, i know, jaja, my mistake.
