I'm not sure why, but for some reason, I'm always drawn to Saikano AMVs. So, I downloaded this.
I have to say, really nice work here! Even though I couldn't understand the song, I still got the gist of the story you were telling. From the little bit you translated on the info page, it does seem like the song fits pretty well.
Your timing was right on, if a bit slow at times. What I mean by that is that you hit the beat with your scene changes, but you could have changed scenes more often, or accented a more prominent beat with an effect or something. I will say that your timing was better in the second half of the video than the first.
Video quality was decent, but I could tell that some parts were sort of blocky. Did you use Avisynth or anything for the clean up? If not, I would suggest it. Also, you could have saved some on the filesize by cropping off the black borders. It may not seem like much, but it adds up. Besides, it just makes the video look better when it doesn't have borders like that.
All in all, this was a nice piece of work. Well-edited, unique song, good anime choice...I would definitely suggest this to any fan of Saikano. ^_^

but a not-really-high-quality version... as for the black borders, my bad
