First of all, take the time to go here https://enps.darkbb.com/f34-member-introductions and make an introduction so that our members will get to know you better :D
About the video, i expected it to be far worse taking into consideration that you use windows movie maker xD
I liked scene selection at some points and your overall editing is decent.
What i didnt like was the subtitle at 0:15 ( never show subtitles from the anime, when you need to put subtitles put your own)
Also i found some sections of the video to be underwhelming because the song is more actiony and you threw some romance scenes in the there that didnt really fit the pace of the song.
Anyways good luck with future projects and maybe make something with longer duration next time

First of all, welcome to the forum. Using WMM is nothing to be ashamed of, for me it's a hint of originality in this xXxproxXx editing reality we are currently living in. However, it is true that it limits one's potential, so I highly recommend you start using Sony Vegas as soon as possible in order to make better videos for yourself. Creating a video just feels way more rewarding when the sky is the limit, believe me!

About your current video, I see subtitles have been mentioned. At the end of the video the "I love..." spam is pretty fun, I am curious whether you realised it and didn't change it for some special reason or whether you found out about it after the upload and couldn't fix it. I also see sync, which makes me really happy.

I will just criticize your fades at the start, more specificaly the one at the very beginning when they are holding hands and the one at 0:04. Both of them leave a very dinstinct afterimage, which I personally find choppy. You seem to change the colours of the clips midway through the fade and add lots of blur. For me it didn't work, because instead of matching the colour of the first scene with that of the next one -which was already matched in those two cases but anyway-, you changed the colour of one of them, thus ruining the chain.

Just a guess...:

If YOU however like the current visual outcome, then that's fine, maybe it's just me having the problem.

Hope to see you more around the forum MTF-Senpai (MissTitanniaFan, not MoTh******er) in the future, have fun editing! And forgive my crude humor, but I just couldn't resist...

Hi Darcy I'm glad that you came to the forum! :D
You should read the comments of my friends, I think they pointed out the most important things, and I wish you fun editing!
Can't wait till you make a slower/drama/sentimental AMV where I can write a whole paragraph about :)

Going good. And you should do as good guy Zoroittoryu said and make an introduction to promote goodwill and because we're a community.

Thank you guys so much for the advice/feedback judging by you guys the community on this forum is amazing and i am looking forward to talking with you guys more  in the future :D
