3	Amore - Shirahiko	Fun idea with a unique concept. The custom story attempt is very ambitious but has some large gaps that need to have more meaningful scenes to transition from one part to the other. The camera motion is a bit excessive at times and is too shaky or over zoomed on seemingly random items. The idea overall works, but is a bit shaky in places that need more relevance to advance the story from place to place.
4	At Least I Tried - VideoBeats	I like the use stutter cuts to match the piano beats, give the video a good starting style. The mood works, but is quickly lost due to the odd efforts to derail the vid. This video was funny for what it was, but at the same time, I'm sad for what it could have been.
5	Backstreet Boy - NotReallyHere	Great romantic atmosphere. Song matches the tone of the show. But there's too much focus on the characters faces and not on their actions. It needs to match the song in more than idea, the lyrics are asking for attention at certain points, but we only get the characters catching glimpses at each other.
6	Baka Romance. . .It's Complicated - Janikachan	Amusing combo that works surprisingly well. The sync during the lyrical parts is fitting and well done. also like the lip sync segments. However, the beat sync during the faster keyboard notes is to slow and needs to be more poignant. Overall an enjoyable watch.
7	Birds of War - Drango	to someone who knows nothing about gundam plots, this video seems very random. Some drama can be divulged, but it's hard to follow. I commend you for challenging yourself with full on 80s sources, but that seemed to make it even harder for your video to be dynamic and clear. Great ending btw.
8	Brotherly Love - ~3mobiondo~	Good song choice. The video works at times later on, but the beginning is a bit long and disjointed as the scenes jump and repeat too much. Once it smooths out in the middle, it hits it's flow.
9	Cause why the hell not - Kagacie	Well, the first segment seems to be dramatic but doesn't develop. Then the second segment is fun, but doesn't develop, and then the ending just comes in too early. Definitely needed more development to understand what the focus of the video was and what I was watching on screen. It's a fun watch, but leaves a lot of questions to be answered.
10	Circumstances Under The Bridge - WolfandSerpent	Very fitting source and music combo. The video does a good job at detailing the story and the main characters. The text is a nice touch, but not really necessary. But thanks for being considerate to the audience. Overall good sync and flow, just needs a little more story direction or editing variety to keep the middle and ending segments fresh.
11	Eyes Wide Shut Chaos - chaosgod357	Good effort. Some genuine emotional moments are to be had at times. But be careful, because some scenes come in way too over the top. the sync is sound, but awkward when taken literally.
12	Hydrogen Peroxide - Copycat_Revolver	Very fun sync to characters I've never seen features in their own AMV. The vid does a great job at storytelling and is very easy to follow. Lip flap sneaks into some scenes.
13	If I Could Turn Back Time - Sakuraslight	Good emotional atmosphere and storytelling. The dramatic climaxes near the end hit strong. There are scenes at the beginning with some awkward expressions that don't help the storytelling. Lots of jarring zooms, decrease their distance to make them easier on the eye. But solid drama here, good stuff.
14	I'll Love You Forever - FullmetalFireFairy	Good focus on the characters for the most part. However, the ending is a bit confusing to me not knowing Sword Art Online. There are some points where the scene selection works beautifully, but other times the scenes stay on screen too long. There is also lots of lip flap. But overall and good grasp of the requirements.
15	More Than Friends... - ThyPirateKing	You really like this source, don't ya? But in seriousness the video has good basic beat sync. But the lyrical sync of the song is lacking. It doesn't fully capture the "hunt" of the main character when the girls all seem to want to jump him. Still fun, just confusing.
16	Precise Measures - tonina1981	Fun, fun stuff. As always, I love certain certain points of the lyrics sync, like "hold tight". :P Very cute concept overall. But there could be a bit more matching scenes to give me a better idea of the characters relationship. There's also lipflap here and there. But overall, an enjoyable watch.
17	Sci-Fi (Mayo) Spinster - Azexous	Great use of fitting effects for an 80s style video. It has fun energy and fits the characters in the goofiest way possible. Love the use of motion for the transitions, matches both the song and give a good flair to the video. The only bad point I can see is the random use multi sources that have no meaning to the video. Otherwise, great work!
18	Seperation Anxiety - alchemymini	This vid has good storytelling that has more to tell with consecutive views. The video has good drama and feels on a more serious level at points. There is some jarring zooms and the hazy pink scenes are too washed out and break the mood.
19	Shooked - Liquified	this vid has fitting sources, focus, and sync. It comes off as really fun, but the scenes begin to feel like they are repeating since the girl in this show seems to just keep trying. Nice shooking sync. There were also those random ending segments with the superpower bathroom that confuses me.
20	The roll of a guy named Rick - Ploxerdon	N/A
21	Virtuous Nightmare - SVProductions	Good development and atmosphere; i can follow what is developing in the scenes and get a sense of identity for each character. Lots of fitting lyric sync in there as well. The video becomes a bit random near the end with too much emphasis on fight footage, and the romantic aspect is there, but is too downplayed to take center stage.
22	Wait! I Can Explain! - Deuce Loosely	Fun stuff here, albeit very wrong. Good focus on all the different characters and fitting scene choices throughout to perpetuate the wrongness of the vid. Still some stray lip flap and loose sync in places, but a solid effort. Thank you for sticking in there and submitting something so enjoyable!
23	What Is Dance - blaksun	Very fun vid. Super emphasis on random and odd, but it all comes together into an entertaining package. As usual your lyric sync is good and makes me smile frequently. Could have been a little more focus to the scene selection to push a romantic idea between the characters, but I got it regardless.
24	Where I Belong - Scoob	Solid and smooth editing fitting of the song. Has a good mood, but feels a little heavy on "guy stares at girl, girl stares at guy." It needed a bit more insight on the story to really get into.
25	Will you ever - ailynerie	Good genuine romance vibe. Fitting in both concept and dramatic tone. I understand what is happening with foresight of the show premise, but I can see this being confusing to those without prior knowledge. Maybe a bit more scenes showing exposition of who these characters are would help remedy that. Otherwise, very emotional stuff. The feelssssssssss.
