It's more properly romanized "konnichiha", not "konichiwa" -- there's a lone /n/ before the "ni", and the end is actually written with the "ha" kana, not "wa". Please see http://park15.wakwak.com/~o0o0o0o0/bokumetsu/ for a rant/explanation.

Comments:

- The camcorder status graphics. Huh?
- Audio was very clipped and rough; you can do much better. See http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/
- Scene selection seemed random and the cuts were rather spastic, and I don't think you wanted that.
- DivX logo is a big no-no, and it's very easy to avoid; see aforementioned guide.
- Consider trying to trim the audio to express the gist of what you want to express. Six minutes is a long time, and unless you really need all the space, cut it down.
- Again with story: I couldn't really get anything out of this. Was there supposed to be a story?

I'm fairly familiar with the Chrono Crusade footage, so I can tell that at least a good deal of this wasn't just whole scenes ripped from the footage (meaning, I could tell there were a good number of cuts made). But, the vast majority of them (as Trythil mentioned) seemed extremely random and not thought out well. It looked like you were just trying to fill up the 6 minute timeline.

I can tell that you're enthusiastic about anime and if you enjoy making AMVs, you should be willing to put forth effort into making your videos A) look nice, B) have a purpose, C) tell some kind of story, and D) entertain the viewer.

As far as A goes, definitely go through and read the Audio and Video guides here on the Org thoroughly ( http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/ ). You said in your profile that you own the Chrno Crusade DVDs, but it definitely doesnt look like DVD footage in your video. Ripping the video from your DVDs to be used in AMV editing is quite simple and very effective.

And yeah, the camcorder REC/Battery thing. I didn't get it either.. o_o
