Good video!

It's Judgement Time!
I knew it would be this song. (clarification: Love the song) I'm a bit disappointed (in the execution of the video). It's a nice video and you should keep working on more! Some tips though: (and these' are just humble observations and tips. Ignore them if you want. I'm something of a AMV critic)
-It's was a little too simplistic. The video was more or less just entire scenes pasted in sequence. But they didn't really match the feel or energy of the song. I would have liked to have seen something more quick and fast for the song. Perhaps cutting the henshin clips down, showing more action clips of the different forms and showing more of the personalities/characters that went with the form. With an up beat, energetic song, you want video clips that keep up with the pace.
It was a shame that the last bit had to be sped up, it looked so climactic that the viewer would probably want a better look at what's going on.
Maybe you could have spliced in some flash back shots during the final battle scene, showing each taros character in a "farewell" shot as they fight it out. Then ending with the final attack, explosion, and perhaps the Den-O logo.
These are just suggestions. Most people don't make MVs to be "perfect" they make them for fun. But that doesn't mean you can't try and do better as you create more videos.
It looks like you didn't really have an immediate idea of what clips to use when you began this video project. The best tip is to really get a picture in your mind what you want to show to the music. If you have a song in mind, play it a few times on repeat and browse your memory for possible clips that would fit the energy of the song and also convey the message or point of the video that you want to get across.

It was a nice video.

Thumbs Down
Thanks for the advice, Saiko. This only my 5th MV anyway though so, I'll keep that in mind next time I make an MV. Also, Saiko, that was the Idea I had going into the project.
Also, I'd Like Your Advice on my other MV's

It's Judgement Time!
1. I havent seen Agito yet (I really want to after seeing that video). For your first MV it's nice bad but there's a strong disconnect between video an song. It's an up beat song and the clips feel so dramatic. Best advice here is try to make sure your video clips are in tune to the beat of the song you choose. Video doesn't have to match lyrics. But it helps keep a viewers attention when the beat of the song and the energy of the video are in sync.
I like how you began the video with the anubis looking monster and ended with it. Like you were trying to tell something of a story and ended it properly by having the monster from the beginning defeated.
2. This one was pretty good. The video and music matched up nicely. Especially during his Geki henshin. You had it down man. The video moved to the beat with perfection. I also like that you didnt ignore the subtitles. You made the subs part of the story you were telling with the video.
A common problem a lot of MV creators like to do is choose clips that have subtitles but then try to ignore the fact that there are subtitles. Because they couldnt find clips without them, you see. When you see a video with subs, you tend to get distracted by the subs and want to read them as a viewer.
You solved that problem by not trying to hide the subs or cut away from them quickly. Instead you show them and make them part of the video. It's very nice.
Towards 3:58 when the music goes soft, it might've been better to cut to less action oriented clips. Perhaps something showing bond between Retsu and his brother Gou. Then when the guitar kicks in again, so does the action. But you only pulled clips from a few episodes, so I can't criticize too hard for that.
3.) This video of yours is even better. You kept the same MV style as your last one. You incorporated the subtitles into your MV to tell the story. You didn't just rely on the clips. In reality, your video started off slow and got better as it went on. As I learned more of the character and his quirks, why he was so distressed, I grew more into the video.
The music and energy of the video was in sync again. Especially at the very end. You felt that odd presence of regret, remorse, and self-reflection as he dehenshins and stares at his card.
I think that video right there makes me want to finish watching Den-O.
4.) Not much to say about the Smash MV. You had limited amount of clips to use so you did what you could. You chose a good song and really matched together the clips well.
One of these days I'm going to upload my MVs to you tube. That is if someone else hasnt already. (wouldnt be surprised.)
