Presentation - 8 / 20

Oh, my loli!!! Okay, the banner and background look great and all, but what connection do they have with the video? I don't really see what a young girl has to do with a song where plants take center stage (unless one considers the video, but the girls only appear in the very last part, which doesn't really mean anything to people who do not watch the anime this song is from). The video added to the experience somehow, but seeing as how repetitive it was-- it can be both good or bad (since it can be annoyingly repetitive at times). That said, this can turn on or turn off various players-- a mixed bag.

The Beginner chart you used needs some work-- it has too few steps for it to be viable. Even as a Beginner chart, its boring. The steps are far too disjointed-- add some more-- even Beginners could get bored with the way you used the steps. Oh, shorten the freezes as well-- I don't think Beginner charts are supposed to have 3-4-bar freezes.

There's a lyrics file present as well, but it didn't really do anything to give a better impression of the file. Sorry.

Steps (no Oni)

Light Chart - 0 / 5

This would make a better Beginner chart than the one that already existed for Beginner difficulty. The steps were super-jointed and ultra-repetitive, being composed mostly of disjointed triplets and super-disjointed singles, which tend to be seen mostly in Beginner charts. As a Light chart, this wasn't very interesting, and it didn't even make the song proud-- the steps were very flat (as Light steps), and didn't seem to form any real patterns that try to show the song in any way. Granted, this is an easy 2-footer, but you should still try to give the chart substance-- otherwise, it won't be very interesting at all.

Standard Chart - 1 / 10

A set of seemingly-random steps that follow the sounds religiously (not the song). The steps you used didn't really form any patterns-- they were highly disjointed, random steps that didn't feel like they were going anywhere. The types of patterns you were trying to use here could have worked out if they weren't disjointed and highly random-- to some extent, they would have went well with the song (except for the jumps, which felt very extraneous, and didn't really seem to be warranted in any way, considering the parts of the song they were in, especially at bars 20-30+). The highly leftist orientation of the steps didn't help the rest of the chart at all. Very disappointing.

Heavy Chart - 1 / 15

The problem here is the execution of the steps-- they did work out with the song this time around, but the way used them didn't make sense. They ended up being very random patterns with motions that really don't go anywhere (you could have tried some nifty variations in those 8th-note runs, which were very common here... you should also try to break them up a bit, as they didn't exactly feel fun to play the way they are), and thus, ended up being very mechanical (especially the 8th-note runs and freezes). You should try to move the steps around-- the way they are, they felt like a fast march.

As I said, the problem is in the execution-- you made a decent choice with the step types you used.
