THIS is the kind of anime music that I like ^_^
Don't be put off by the large post, there are lots of explanations and pictures and such so it's not as bad as it looks
[General]I feel like the combo colours are a little too light and vibrant compared to the song. Lowering the yellow and red colours a few shades fit the mood much better imo. Replacing the white with a dark blue looked pretty nice too (I was never a fan of white hitcircles :U)
[Timing]While your timing gets notes in the right places, the metronome and snapping is actually incorrect. Assuming the current BPM and offset is correct:
BPM: 73.35333..
Snapping: 1/6
Time signature: 4/4
Tick rate: 3
I'll include the slider speeds to use in the mods of each difficulty.
Be sure of course to go recheck all of your notes after this is done. You'll notice the metronome will sound much better now ^_^
[Normal]Slider speed: 2.4
00:12:180 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - I'm gonna be a nitpicky music geek here. Since the music splits notes up into groups of three, it doesn't make musical sense to split these into groups of two. Maybe do something like this instead?
00:52:260 (3) - I know from watching my siblings try this game that stacked notes - especially sliders - are tough on newbies since the hitburst obscures the approach circle. Consider unstacking?
00:53:623 (5) - This is an awkward note to hit, to me it plays better merging 4 and 5 into a slider.
00:56:350 (3,4) - Similar to the above, 4 is a little awkward to hit as well. This could be remedied by shortening 3 to end at 00:56:898, then making 4 a slider from the next white tick to where it is now. (this all also applies for the next part like this) I know it kind of messes up the pretty pattern, but I really do think it plays better.
[Hard]Slider speed: 3.0
00:12:180 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1) - Same as Normal
00:57:713 (4) - Still a little awkward, but seeing as it's Hard it's not as much of an issue. Feel free to change it if you want though.
00:59:622 (4) - Spacing from 3. It didn't really throw me off, but it did strike me as odd since everything else in the map is properly distance snapped (from what I could tell)
[Insane]Slider speed: 3.6 (lucky you, you hit the limit
)
00:54:714 (2) - This is much uglier than the slider in the other diffs ;_; Maybe try making it look more like this:
00:56:759 (4,5,6,7) - Again with the groups of 3: musically it doesn't make sense to have two groups of 2 here. I would recommend unstacking these and making it a stream. This goes for the rest of 4-note stacks like this as well: either stack them all or unstack them all.
00:57:713 (8) - This is 100% opinion, but I feel like this note would be better if it was lower and to the left of 7. The reason for this is that it follows the pitch of the lyrics, and musically I just feel like the next note being stacked under this one sounds right. But again, this is purely a suggestion; I probably have a higher sensitivity to that kind of stuff than other people do so take of that what you will
01:01:257 (1) - Remember to make this a ctrl-h of the previous slider
01:18:435 (1,2,3) -While I did catch this after a playthrough or two, it
is pretty hard to catch if you don't know what's coming. I know you defended this before, but I throw my advice here anyway: I would make 1 were a vert and h-flip of 01:17:344 (1), then make 2 an h-flip of the new 1.
Nice map, great music and great work with the hitsounds. *4u
