I liked how the music mix mixed with the animes, but as Replay said, there is a lack of timing, and flow, like one scene moves to the right and the next is stationary.
Oh, and what was that ending all about? shooting robots and a bridge? how? where did they come from so suddenly? ^^;

I like the celebratory feel of this, a lot. And I usually groan when I see these kind of AMVs that are so loaded with choreographed dance scenes. But this had a lot of positive energy, didn't rely on fanservice, wasn't trying to be too cool in a way that I usually hate, etc.

I liked the layer masking you used at around the 1:00 mark, because it was a part of the vocals in the song that deserved some emphasis. Doing the same thing with the kick drum at 1:13 and 1:56, which came and went very quickly and felt kind of off-beat, didn't work so well for me. It is definitely possible to use looped clips, like the ones you used at 2:35, in an effective way, but up until this part of the song, we'd never seen anything like that before and it felt out of place and strange. To me, anyway. Maybe other viewers loved it, I don't know.

A lot of kind of random clips felt thrown into the mix for no real purpose. The telescope (rifle scope?) view at 2:30, the girls standing around at 3:31, the attacking robots at the end... these were distracting and I don't know what they really added to the video, overall.

I spent a lot of time talking about this AMVs flaws. Overall, I did enjoy it. I just think that it could be better.
