Not at all my cup of tea, but well edited. I liked how you managed to sync those...I'm not actually sure how you call it (0:19, 0:23, 0:56, 1:02, etc.)...short, choppy, repetitions? The effect used worked really well here while not disturbing the flow. Still, I feel dubstep amvs are extremly dull...maybe just a personal thing. Well done.

Yay! It was good!
I didn't like the song, but the editing and the screen choise are great!
Oh...my eyes are a bit tired of that flashes and lights, but in general I'm very pleased. Good luck! :awesome:

NEEDS MORE TWITCH!

But seriously, I thought the twitch usage was pretty good. Maybe you could use a bit more variety. Like instead of just using blur and light, throw in some of the typical "RGB Split" ( or "chromatic aberration" as someone corrected me with), or perhaps the scale effect. I think the way you used it fit the song pretty well, but it did get a bit monotonous after a while.

I'm going to have to disagree on the film strip effect, as I think it needed to be a lot faster / stronger to fit the song. The brightness adjustment got overbearing at times, especially during the Madoka segment (some parts were just WAY too bright).

Now, that being said the video is fun and I enjoyed watching it. And I'm not a huge fan of Skrillex. Good use of dynamic action scenes, the text portions added a bit of variety and even though you used three different anime it didn't feel totally random. :up:

But I'm still waiting for Irriadin or Shin to show up to say the following sentence: "Needs more Twitch". :bear:
Aww, thank you so much! But don't worry, I'm not the kind of person that think "oh yeah, I've got to the second round of a contest so I'm powerful!" I'm not like that... xD I mean, I'll be happy, that's for sure, but my head will stay in my shoulders. ù.ù
But thank you so much! I'll try my best to get better for the second round, if I'll have the chance to get there!

Aww, thank you so much. :) For dubstep... I don't know what to say, honestly. xD It's fun to edit but it's not my cup of tea either.

Aww, thank you dear! I'm so glad you liked it :) And I hope that I'll pass this round. >.<
Let's hope for the better °-°

Oh wow, really? °w° I'm so glad you think so! Thank you for the tips, I'll try my best to get better and I will surely work on the repetitive/monotonous thing. I will try to learn other effects than twitch and offset. Or I'll get something in my mind with the effects I know to use now. ^^

Whoa, I really liked it!
Yeah, like everyone said, the flow, but I thought it flowed really well for everything except for some parts of the Black Rock Shooter part. I thought the Madoka part was done really well :3
