that's unnecessary, negative criticism is fine, but at least be constructive about it.
this is pretty good for a second amv! you say you're looking to improve through feedback, so i'll nitpick at a few things that i noticed. you seemed to have experimented with effects quite a bit, and you got the hang of some of them, although others were placed in areas that seemed a bit random. first, the text - (i personally wouldn't recommend using text, just because aside from in/outros it usually feels out of place) before using it it would be best to look into "proper" typography, and also find consistent parts of the song to use it during. something about the footage seems off, at a first glance i'd say that the frame rate isn't correct but i might be wrong on that one. the glows, like at ~0:22 for example, seemed a bit sporadic and strong and could throw a viewer off, i'd recommend experimenting with brightness & contrast to simulate that kind of sync. the shaking also could have been smoother, you could achieve such smoothness by adding slight blurs to accompany any rapid movements. oh, and those panned out clips w/ the border over top of what appears to be fan art, their movements were a bit messy, you could use blurs with those too, i'd also suggest consistent border color/styles but that's just a personal preference. but overall, experimenting is good, it's the only way you'll ever learn what truly works and what doesn't; here's a tip, instead of approaching certain effects so strongly, try being more subtle as it can complement your video to a greater extent and still appear pleasant.
finally, the logo in the upper right hand corner of the footage, that could potentially be distracting to a viewer, and it can be removed in a few different ways. you could crop it out, which would also slightly cut off frames depending on the size of the logo, or you could remove it by filtering, you could try
this, i can't guarantee that it works because i've never had the chance to use it myself, but i assume it would, which you'd also need virtualdub for. in any case, i recommend downloading virtualdub, it's a very helpful software, i'm sure there are several guides around the forum that can help you with some of it's other features. oh and to add, you may also want to look at a guide for .avi or .mp4 renders, they're most commonly used here.
