General impression is that this year probably had the most videos that I really liked, and the fewest that I really didn't, out of all the years I've entered. That said...man, you guys really like EDM/radio pop and I don't know if that's a good thing.
Spoiler :
506 - Even Batman Needs Saving - I didn't think the source fit the music at all – it felt too goofy for a serious song. The voiceovers also didn't help...they were really out of place.
510 - It Rhymes - This was really good. Interesting use of split screen effects, solid editing throughout, a lot of variation in the way the effects were synced...just a really fun video to watch. Also a super unique Madoka video. Two thumbs up.
525 - Are Meow Ready - Fun video! Editing wasn't as tight as I'd have liked to see but it was entertaining throughout, and I could follow the story so props for that.
548 - Moonlighter - Geeze, this was fantastic. Really great use of the (usually cheesy) effects with the song. I dunno, this just felt really unique and I was into it right from the beginning.
549 - Row Row Remix - Really good editing, but this didn't do much for me, I think because I've been spoiled on really good drama Gurren Lagann videos, and I've just never been into the more action-y ones. But seriously, I need to reiterate – REALLY good editing.
565 - Pop Sequitur - I didn't get the joke. I'm not sure if there was one beyond the weird audio, and just setting a weird audio track to an anime doesn't automatically make a funny AMV.
571 - Calamity - Ok, I liked this a lot from an editing perspective, but, editor – whoever you are – neko kitkat made a Wind Waker video to this song two years ago in AWA Pro, and it was better. I just can't get behind this one, I'm sorry.
585 - Oh the Things You'll Never Do - I liked this a lot overall. The editing was a bit inconsistent, but there were some parts that I REALLY loved. I appreciated that this wasn't a typical heavy drama Kids on the Slope video. Good job!
586 - Miki Makimura - Better than I was expecting, and not edited in the annoying way that typical X videos are, but nothing about it was really outstanding to me.
589 - Something to Die Live For - Just about the most average video I've seen yet. I don't dig various-source live action videos anyway so there wasn't much here to grab me.
597 - Jump and Shoot - Meehhhh...uphill battle for me, I have yet to see a Hellsing video I like and this didn't change anything. Editing could have been tighter, overall just not my thing, sorry.
598 - Rule the World - Fine editing, just a boring video to me. Sorry, not much else to say on this one, it didn't jive with me.
607 - AuContraire - Pretty good, there were parts of this I really liked but there were also parts that I felt didn't really fit with the song too well. Above average, not my favorite thing here but good.
612 - Aberration - Great use of effects and a really tangible atmosphere. This was unique and really interesting, also really liked the use of color. I wish the scenes used had more variance but that was a pretty minor hangup, other than that this is very nice.
620 - The BEAT - I dunno, this felt too much like another video released earlier this year, but not done nearly as well. There was also a lack of cohesion to the sources that made it feel like a bit of a mess. There were a few things I did like but overall it felt kinda shoddy to me.
630 - The Slippery Slope - Not bad, good overview of what South Park is, but didn't do much for me. Too much lip flap is what really killed it, I think.
653 - tssapd - Song was funny, but that's about it.
656 - Called to the Trees - I've seen too many videos like this using this source that it had no effect on me. Editing was about what I'd expect from the song but it didn't engage me at all.
665 - One Trick Pony 4 - Troll video that's a ripoff of another YLIA video from AWA Pro three years ago.
674 - The Best Game You Can Name - Fun video, didn't overstay its welcome, all-around pretty enjoyable!
680 - Boruto's Dad the AMV - The video's title was the best part about this. The song choice was a little weird; I mean I kinda get it but some of the lyrics just have no analog to the anime and the scene choices were a little awkward. Meh.
692 - In Another Life - Didn't like this one, the song didn't really make sense with the anime and it all felt kinda forced. I also just didn't like the song, which probably fed into that.
696 - Iron Drowned - Completely generic action, mediocre editing, and some bad use of stock effects. Sorry, couldn't get into this even a little.
699 - I Don't Belong Here - Quality issues on this one...the aspect ratio for the third Evangelion movie is different than the others, might wanna fix that before you officially release it. Besides that, this one didn't bring anything to the table that I haven't seen done better in other videos.
701 - Gearless - Good trailer! I'm not one for trailers and there are certainly better ones out there, but this was pretty strong. One note though: it should be “than”, not “then”.
706 - Wombat Harness - Hahahaha I love it. I get it. The lyric sync. This was great. You should be proud.
726 - Impossible Comes True - I really didn't like the zoom transition motif that permeated the video. The live action cosplay stuff was also super misplaced and awkward. There wasn't really anything about this that I enjoyed.
733 - IDGAF - Very true to the spirit of the anime and overall a fun video. Enjoyed it!
737 - Dark Machiavelli - I almost really liked this one, the editing was great, but the song honestly kinda killed it for me. Nothing on you, Mr. or Ms. Editor, but it just wasn't to my taste.
739 - Protege - This was above average, but it still felt kinda generic at points. Good storytelling anyway. Probably need to watch a couple more times.
741 - Moonshine - Holy crap, by far my favorite video thus far. The mood in this was so on-point, and the loose editing fit super well. I loved the surreal atmosphere. Keep it up, this was phenomenal.
752 - Breaker of Chains - This was basically porn + fighting, and that's uh...not to my taste. The editing was alright, but scene selection was weird – cutting between the suggestive sex scenes and the intense fighting scenes didn't make sense to me and was a jarring juxtaposition. There wasn't anything here for me unfortunately.
756 - Time to Rise - Lyric sync was on-point, I just didn't think it was very funny. Well-edited, though. This'd probably be a good con video.
757 - 9 to 5 - Not bad, not bad. A little different than other Aggretsuko videos I've seen, so props. One thing, be sure to disable resample on your clips on the timeline before your final render, to get rid of all the ghosting that's going on here.
758 - The Enchanted Place - This was a cute video. I don't have too much to say about it, it was edited well and I got the story and I felt the feels. Good stuff.
764 - Silver Screen Dreamer - I think I liked this better than the other video that used this source, but only slightly. What are the chances of such an old source like this being used twice in the same year though? Crazy. Anyway, nice job, loved the storytelling, editing was pretty slick.
771 - Tell No Tales - Shockingly good. Not what I expected at all, and I think this is the first One Piece video I've seen that I liked. You really honed in on the eerie mood of the song and nailed it. Very very good.
780 - Good Time - It was ok. The song worked with the source really well, and it was edited fine, but live action videos typically aren't my thing and this didn't do anything well enough to convince me otherwise.
792 - March of Conformity - I don't think this is a source that needed a music video made to it. This just felt really cheesy and not in a charming way.
801 - Reprisal - Fairly generic heavy drama vid, but it was edited well and the effects weren't too overdone. Not much more I have to say, it was alright.
805 - Circuit Tree - Progressed just like every other Metropolis video out there, so nothing surprising in this one, but it was enjoyable. Editing was good. I enjoyed the simplicity. No emotional impact for me though.
809 - Lion's Vigor - Some of the internal sync here was cool, but mostly this felt like a really generic action video.
828 - Colors of Guilt - This left almost no impression on me. I feel like a lot of editors are making safe videos like this to safe pop songs like this and this felt like another drop in that ocean.
834 - A Place For Us - I just couldn't take this seriously, I'm sorry, and it's not just the concept of the anime you used, it's the actual animation style. The mood of the anime just didn't match the mood of the song at all.
840 - All the Blame - This felt like a montage of faces. There wasn't any dynamism or anything that made it interesting to me. Also really didn't like the constant zoom transitions. Not my thing.
858 - KON - I felt like this is one of those combinations that seems obvious, but after putting them together it didn't actually really work at all. Editing was fine, I just didn't buy into the concept.
859 - Revel in the Dark - Wow, that was fun, and SUPER well-edited. Was into this one from the moment it started. I have no critiques, this was fantastic, exactly the kind of video I'm always looking for.
869 - Storm - I thoroughly enjoyed this. Very good storytelling, restrained editing and strong emotional pull. Basically everything a good drama video should be.
870 - A New Light - This was adorable and REALLY well-edited. Kinda like the previous video, I loved the more restrained approach and the storytelling elements. I have nothing to really criticize, I was enamored with this one and I hope it does well. Also, the atmosphere here was just so...relaxed? I dunno, it was a bit of a unique approach to romance and I feel like it came out really well.
871 - Pachyderm Panic - It's crazy to me how many different ways people have been able to use this source. Although I've seen a fair share of psychedelic Madoka videos, this is a new approach and I loved it. Super weird and walking a very fine line between “fun” and “horror”, which are two genres that almost never go together. Great job.
873 - Why We Ride - I admire your willingness to try and do something different here, but I don't think it worked at all. The concept was lacking any kind of dynamism and couldn't be sustained for the full five minutes of the song. Some of the footage was also kinda cheesy and the editing couldn't keep up with the pace of the music.
882 - The Worst Little Witch - It was fine. A trailer has to go above and beyond for me to really like it at all, much less love it, and this one felt pretty standard and safe, so it wasn't too memorable.
887 - Mess is Mine - Ehhh...I will say that as someone who has no interest whatsoever in SAO, this did engage me a little more than some other SAO videos I've seen, however the scene selection felt way too static. Pretty much every scene was the two characters staring at each other or hugging or crying. There was no narrative to speak of, and scenes flipped between settings with no rhyme or reason. Kind of a quintessential “hands and faces” video -- it didn't give me any reason to care for the characters (repetitious melodramatic scenes aren't reason enough for me). The editing was also a bit rough in places.
888 - The Lego Music Video - I didn't have high hopes for this going in, but you COMPLETELY subverted my expectations. This was freaking awesome, I would not have pictured this working as well as it did. I think it was thanks in large part to the super slick editing, but you also killed it with great scene selection. I loved this.
896 - Magnum Modus Big Mood - Whoa. This kept getting better and better. Love this style of editing, and you nailed the mood and drama of both the anime and the song. Really well done!
906 - Ultimate GameGrl - Ok, so, the concept was solid and the editing/FX usage was pretty great, but good Lord what an awful song. I couldn't get into the video even a little because of that, I'm sorry.
909 - Nutcracker Fantasy Four Realms Edition - I'm not really sure what to make of this. I think there could have been a whole lot more editing, although I didn't dislike what you did. It just felt like there were more audio cues that could have used syncing. It was ok, but I wish there had been...more, just in general, if that makes sense.
917 - Ready for the Popuko - I didn't get it. I assume this is a joke(?) that requires familiarity with the source, which I don't have. In general though, it was barely edited and the text looked bad, and the gag went on for way too long. If it was supposed to be more of a sentimental retrospective on the anime, it didn't work as that either. Nothing about this really worked for me.
919 - BELIEVER - Ok, so credit where it's due, this is probably the best My Hero Academia video I've seen, however it's a fairly low bar and I don't tend to like these types of videos very much. Editing on this was pretty sick though, and despite fricking HATING this song I was engaged throughout. So, good job I guess?
920 - Be Proud - I don't prefer bringing up previous videos when leaving my thoughts on new ones, but it's really hard not to in this case because Otaku Paradise was released a few years ago and I really don't think anyone can use this song better than it was used in that video. This video just fell really flat most of the time anyway; I didn't like your use of the fades to black, and the scene selection was like a highlight reel of some of the most overused scenes in AMVs over the last several years. It all felt rather forced and it didn't get through to me at all.
929 - Last Sorrow - There have been a whole bunch of K-pop videos released this year, and this was probably my favorite – but that's not saying much as I've really disliked almost all of them. This worked pretty well for the most part, my main issue is that it feels like every single other weepy YLIA video I've seen, and doesn't really do anything to stand out. I did really like the last 45ish seconds though.
931 - Put Your Hands Up - Eh, it's fine. The editing almost gave me a headache though, so many cuts and zooms. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it's the style you were going for, but it's not something I'm particularly fond of. This was a pretty generic multi-anime action video, not much stood out to me.
932 - Where Is My Mind - This was a pretty good drama/horror video, I got way more into it than I usually do with live action stuff. Editing was on-point, and generally had a really excellent vibe about it. There were a few scenes that felt a little misplaced but other than that, good work!
934 - Chobit Persocom Unit - I appreciate your honesty, at least. This actually wasn't bad and was a solid joke off of the anime, but someone who hasn't seen or knows nothing about Chobits probably wouldn't get it. It didn't make me laugh but it wasn't the worst minute I've spent watching videos in this contest.
935 - Breakneck Sped - Ok I laughed, good trollish video.
940 - Kakegurui Rules the World - Ok, lot of problems with this one. The stock effects didn't look good, at all. The cuts were inconsistent and didn't follow any kind of pattern, there were a lot of times you zoomed in on someone's face or something so much that the video became clearly pixelated...in general, there was just a lot wrong with this from an editing perspective and I didn't enjoy it.
966 - Purely Bloom - Above average video here – it made the anime look interesting, although I'll probably never watch it because I haven't heard much good about it. Some nice, subtle editing choices here and there and generally good sense of flow and storytelling. It just didn't pop out to me in any way.
967 - Warframe Eidolaclast - Wow, that audio quality was horrific. Video had many other problems too – not enough actual editing, scenes dragged on for way too long, and the mixing of gameplay footage with cinematics didn't look good at all. This one just kinda felt like a mess. I will say the game looks cool though.
969 - Welcome to the Ballroom Fred Astaire - Man, I felt like the song/anime combination was spot-on, but the editing left a lot to be desired. There wasn't nearly enough cuts and motion throughout the video to match the pace of the music. Even simple things like quick zooms and such could have made the video feel less static. You may want to consider reworking this before final release because you have something really cool here, you just need to pick up the pace on the actual editing.
985 - Commercial A30 - Isn't this a parody of a series of commercials from like, 3 or 4 years ago? I dunno, it didn't do anything for me, even though you got the scenes down. Not my thing.
510 - It Rhymes - This was really good. Interesting use of split screen effects, solid editing throughout, a lot of variation in the way the effects were synced...just a really fun video to watch. Also a super unique Madoka video. Two thumbs up.
525 - Are Meow Ready - Fun video! Editing wasn't as tight as I'd have liked to see but it was entertaining throughout, and I could follow the story so props for that.

630 - The Slippery Slope - Not bad, good overview of what South Park is, but didn't do much for me. Too much lip flap is what really killed it, I think.

656 - Called to the Trees - I've seen too many videos like this using this source that it had no effect on me. Editing was about what I'd expect from the song but it didn't engage me at all.

935 - Breakneck Sped - Ok I laughed, good trollish video.
940 - Kakegurui Rules the World - Ok, lot of problems with this one. The stock effects didn't look good, at all. The cuts were inconsistent and didn't follow any kind of pattern, there were a lot of times you zoomed in on someone's face or something so much that the video became clearly pixelated...in general, there was just a lot wrong with this from an editing perspective and I didn't enjoy it.
966 - Purely Bloom - Above average video here – it made the anime look interesting, although I'll probably never watch it because I haven't heard much good about it. Some nice, subtle editing choices here and there and generally good sense of flow and storytelling. It just didn't pop out to me in any way.
967 - Warframe Eidolaclast - Wow, that audio quality was horrific. Video had many other problems too – not enough actual editing, scenes dragged on for way too long, and the mixing of gameplay footage with cinematics didn't look good at all. This one just kinda felt like a mess. I will say the game looks cool though.
969 - Welcome to the Ballroom Fred Astaire - Man, I felt like the song/anime combination was spot-on, but the editing left a lot to be desired. There wasn't nearly enough cuts and motion throughout the video to match the pace of the music. Even simple things like quick zooms and such could have made the video feel less static. You may want to consider reworking this before final release because you have something really cool here, you just need to pick up the pace on the actual editing.
985 - Commercial A30 - Isn't this a parody of a series of commercials from like, 3 or 4 years ago? I dunno, it didn't do anything for me, even though you got the scenes down. Not my thing.
