Thanks for all the opinions so far, they have been VERY helpful. I'm a very unexperienced editor so these made me realize a lot of stuff i wouldnt notice by myself. Im going to keep all this stuff in mind when making another video. Adressing some issues brought up in this thread:
Choice of music: It was based mostly on general feeling and pace of the show, and the song. The song just seemed right to use with this anime. Lyrical synch was very difficult but i tried to do it whenever possible.
Concept: There wasnt much of it but it was kind of done on purpouse since the anime doesnt really have much of a plot either. Its just cute bunny-girls fighting alien rabbits in a light, goofy comedy. The video starts on episode 1, goes trough 8 in the second verse and proceeds to the battle with the alien fleet in the last two eps. I tried to make it as fun and over-the-top as the actual anime.
Fanservice: It was pretty much cut actually. The transformation sequences were cut almost by half because effects like bunny-zipper-cam, or random breast expansion, while funny, slowed the whole video a lot and didnt synch well. Of course the fanservice is the bread and butter of this series so i left more than enough of it .
Why the action synch gets loose in the second half: I ended up using the final battle scene almost entirely and it didnt take cutting it up too good. I added a flashback and moved different scenes around but still the synch in the first part is based on multiple little cuts and in the second part i tried just to rely on setting the timing right. This, of course, didnt go as well as planned.
Technical stuff: Im too unfamilar with it to really defend myself, i just have to learn this on the go. I'm happy however that i managed to shrink the file to under 30 megs, i know multiple really awesome videos from this site that have up to 90 mb and dont really have the visual quality to justify that.
