AMV: Eyes Open..... again?

The specific details were wrong, but. YEAH. THAT HAPPENED.
I don't REGRET posting and finishing the video; I think it's great! It's very much a... not a cliffhanger exactly, but a "standing at the precipice" type of ending. It's not ruined by the later continuation of events.
.... But now I wanted to include those events!! So I pretty quickly decided to do a version 2. Conveniently, I had cut out one verse/chorus from the song, so I just had to add that back in to make more room. The beginning is solid and doesn't need to be rearranged. But then I needed to put in some serious thought about how to work the rest of it. An extra minute is a LOT of time. And the whole structure is different, moments which were previously in the climax of the video are now just in the second verse/chorus.
It was also a good opportunity to fix some things that were weak in the original video. I think I really built in some new strengths with the edits. But I also introduced some new weaknesses.
Anyway: HERE'S THE AMV.
And because of who I am, I made a comparison video. Do not feel compelled to watch this unless you have genuine interest. I used the final chorus of the original AMV twice in here; once where I used the footage in the final video, and once in its original position in the final chorus.
I'm REALLY hoping that I won't regret posting this before the fight actually finishes. I can see it now: the next episode will have incredibly beautiful cinematic shots of Uraraka and Toga fighting in the sea spray with the light of the setting sun, and new backstory flashbacks for both of them...
