Hmm... I thought I recognized your username, and when I noticed the Saikano video in your profile, I remembered you. Since I liked that one, I figured I'd give this a shot, too. I was very happy with what I found.
Sure, the video quality needed work, but the scene choices and flow of the video really pull you in. There is good beat sync, but that's not quite as much the focus this time, I think. I do have two major nitpicks.
1. "Black flowers blossom" at 2:31 - when doing masking, be really sure to have clean, smooth edges. The edges of your flowers are somewhat jagged, and I can spy some particles outside of the lines which definitely shouldn't be there. I liked the way you mixed the two scenes - it just needed to be cleaner than that.
2. Color tones - only in very rare instances would I suggest this, but I believe that the Chobits footage really needed it's saturation and brightness altered in order to make the footage darker. Most of the rest of the video (with the exception of a couple of Wolf's Rain scenes) were in dark, earthy tones, and the Chobits stuff just stuck out like a sore thumb among all of that. Since this is a video with a very strong flow, the footage should also naturally flow together, despite being from different sources.
Beyond that, I really like watching this one. Puts me in a trancelike state, and I actually let the video loop through twice the first time I watched it because the atmosphere got to me so much.
Nice work, and I would say that this is a pretty successful effort on your part. I'm looking forward to your next video. ^_~
