Okies, here are some suggestions:
1) Your aspect ratio is wrong, which makes your clips "squished". You need to convert to square pixels for web distribution. This anime has a 1.78 aspect ratio (widescreen), so that's 856x480 pixels. You were using 720x480.
2) Beat bars. This effect is really, really, really overdone. You can pull it off, but it frankly just didn't work in this video.
3) There were a lot of random effects that detracted from the theme. Effects should blend in and/or enhance your theme, not leave us wondering "why the heck was that square there?"
4) The song is fast and Beyond's footage is pretty slow-paced. You tried to compensate for this by flashing a new scene on every drumbeat. This ruins your feeling/story because we don't see a scene for more than 0.5 seconds until the very end.
