ok you've got nice atmosphere, but your cuts are too sharp, it would have worked better with some fades instead. oh and lay off the white flash in the second half... it's too abrupt compared to your other transitions

although some sync is off in general it flows well.
I think you haven't de-interlaced... had to tell there's so many static scenes

and thats about it from me, cause i've got other stuff to do

oh and if you take it to the opinion exchange forum i think you can get more detailed feedback

Okay, thanks for the tips.

I could at least try to change those things you mentioned. But yes, let's see if I can edit this a little bit better with my skills.

This AMV caught me from second one. The athmosphere was awsum and so was the beginning. I didn't like it that you have taken the same scenes twice to create this last moment this guy has seen before he "died", but anything else was fine.

4/5

The beginning is way too slow. You should edit audio here, and go with half of the length of music before vocals start.
The editing itself isn't bad in a main part, it just need some more delicate touch - like Autraya said - some fades would do good job here. Scenes you choosed, while they defienietly fit the lyrics and the mood, are a bit too static, which make the feeling that nothing really goes one in here. I would advice using some more dynamic scenes (not dynamic in means of action, but dynamic - some movement on the screen, like walking for example).
The final looks really unedited - like scene cutted and putted here. Death of Ryuzaki should be shown slow to make it dramatic, but this was way too slow and way too long.
About epilogue - it shouldn't be there. With it you ruined any impact dying Ryuzaki could make on the viewer. Good idea would be to end the vid when Ryuzaki closes his eye in the final scene.

All in all, while it wasn't anything special, for a first video it was a nice attempt.
2.3/5
