1. omg very nazi but 1365x768 could be resized become 1366x768 for properly 16:9 /runs i read ur reply for Lally ;_; /*Will fix, I promise :3[_____]
2. your preview time is unsnapped 3ms lol, snap at 00:58:518 - ? :3 /*Fixed
3. remove widescreen support since you dont use SB here /*I remember I fixed it back then ;w;
4. you can add "戦姫絶唱シンフォギア" in tags for japanese name of the source ww /*Will do that

• 
  Easy

1. 00:21:914 - add break here? the waiting time is quite long imo, or just map this part if you want /*Since the HP is very low, I find it fine, also the warning arrows look a bit bad apprearing when the break just starts, and could stress beginners in some way, I'd want to keep this.
2. 00:24:744 (1) - hmm maybe just my taste since i feel better to use soft finish here instead of normal finish /*The impact is big enough to deserve a loud hitsound
3. 00:50:404 (1,2) - hmm imo finish per 1/1 gap sound quite noisy, also 00:50:782 - and 00:51:536 - should be have same sound for consistency here. how about use normal-hitnormal for those times instead? it will give more variation imo /*Since the sound I'm emphasizing with the finishers is going 1/1 too, I'll keep these.
4. 00:51:914 (1) - add whistle for emphasize vocal as you did at 00:54:555 (3) - , i think this one feels more empty w/o whistle here /*Sure.
5. 00:56:819 (2) - add whistle for tail too coz the music, feels better for me. just my taste though o-o /*I intended to have a whistle there in the beginning, but removed it, the tone change from this note to the next is considerable, so I opted for removing it, making the tone change clearer.
6. 01:07:008 (3) - just my taste but the flow feels better when you do ctrl+G (but you've to move next note for consistent spacing) /*Both sliders are pointing up as vocals goes up, I want to keep this part.
7. 01:23:612 (2) - hmm i still cant get why normal finish for both head and tail here, the musics arent cymbal, just strong music so i think soft finish feel better for this one (just imo) /*As I put a soft finish in 01:22:103 - and 01:25:121 - , these being soft would feel weird, so I put the normal there (also I like my hitsounds to be loud, probably it's a contradiction because the soft hit, but hey, there loudy too!)
8. Great ~

• 
  Normal

1. your Normal has some of 1/2 when the Easy is pretty weak, try change CS become 3,7? i guess it would be nice here for spread ~ /*I'll make Easy a bit harder instead.
2. 00:06:631 (1) - add finish? you did it in Easy diff :p /*Okay
3. 00:21:914 - same as Easy /*Same, but I could be adding it here if more people says it.
4. 00:38:518 (3) - hmm imo you still can improve the rhythm to follow music more here, i guess http://puu.sh/eLhmh.jpg would work nicely /*Although I'd want to do that, spread wise it'll be bad, as it'll be very similar to Hard.
5. 00:42:103 (4,1) - i'd say to avoid gap like this coz it might make newbie confuse with that, you can make become http://puu.sh/eLi3f.jpg instead (if you agree so change 00:43:612 (2,3,4,1) - too) /*I'm keeping this, I want to begin the sliders in the strongest sounds here, also they match the vocals nicely; yes, rhythm is tricky, but I'm abusing a bit of the slider leniency here.
6. 00:51:159 (4,5,6) - after those 1/2 gaps from previous, i'd say to use slider repeat instead for this time, but it's just my taste though
7. 01:10:027 (4) - nazi but how about move to 76,96 for make better blanket? /*That was a bit off for a blanket, but still fixed it.
8. 01:16:819 (3,4) - better blanket too? :p (i guess move (3) to 196,144) /*Adjusted a bit this part on my own, but still fixed this blanket

• 
  Hard

1. 00:21:819 - nah you have it for Hard but no for Easy Normal lol /*Because the HP Drain is already considerable to make players die (/w\)
2. 00:33:423 (5) - end the slider at 00:33:801 - ? it still has drum sound here /*Focusing on the synthesizer as it's stronger here.
3. 01:05:404 (4) - hmm better to remove this circle imo to avoid the stream since Normal isnt really hard here /*I feel the pause a bit bad, tried deleting (2), but still the emptiness there (could try with only 1/2 tho).
4. 01:06:914 (4) - if you agree so do for this one too /*Ditto.

• 
  Insane

1. OD 7 or 7,5? OD 8 is quite hard here imo /*I've always used OD8 on my Insanes because I'm evil.
2. 00:21:254 (10) - maybe NC here? the combo is long here, also NC mark here to start the stream again /*Not in (10) but in (9)
3. 00:24:933 (2) - this one might hard to read coz the placement, actually i prefer move to 200,212 for easier to read and for the flow, but just my taste lol /*Just remapped this part, even if I like this pattern I can't find them fitting anymore here ;w;
4. 00:26:443 (8) - reason same as previous (move to 296,220) /*^
5. 00:30:310 (8,10) - well your Hard is quite easy here, i dont think if these circles are fine for Insane when remember the spread, i prefer to remove them /*I think I can do that.
6. 00:51:820 (10,1) - the spacings look inconsistent here, make them consistent please, it would be nicer for design and easier to read imo /*It's already "consistent", I'm decreasing the spacing in 00:51:443 (6,7,8,9,10,1) - for each note, I was using high spacing for the previous 1/4, so I gradually slowed down to make the speed change less drastic.
7. 01:12:575 (10) - same as 00:21:254 (10) - /*Okay.
8. 01:22:763 (5,6) - please dont stack them, quite hard to read especially when we use HD here Q_Q /*Okay, okay ;w;
9. 01:26:348 (5) - so nazi but i feel move to 388,88 make the flow feels more natural here /*Well, that'd ruin the small consistency with 01:25:499 (2) -

hmm i feel the spread a little bit questionable coz Insane looks quite hard here, Natsu agree too with me http://puu.sh/eLly1.jpg
/*I'm going to be a bit blunt here, but Normal and Hard are already a bit harder than the usual and they're fine spread-wise, Normal has a considerable ammount of 1/2 tapping, and Hard has some 1/2 doubles in a row. I may be making it just a bit harder, but not much. On the other side Insane is just hard because it has streams and the 1/8 sliders between, spacing is consistent most of the song, with just a few jumpy patterns. If necessary I'll remove/change the rhythm for 1/8 sliders a bit, but only if it's really necessary.

When the spread become better, i will come back to see this again, Good Luck for now :3~

Hey! From PM~
Let's get started.

Please note: Everything in bold I highly suggest.
Everything in red is unrankable.

General:

1. Use the japanese version of the anime for the source: 戦姫絶唱シンフォギアthen move “Senki Zesshou Symphogear” to the tags /*Okay
2. You can also add this: “Zessho Shinfogia” in the tags /*Not really, I think it'll be more looked more for the Romanisation than Romaji
3. I don’t think people will be searching the map by typing in an ellips (…) So I think you have to remove it from the tags. /*Aesthetics purpose.
4. I really suggest that you use a “tiny” grid size. It will really help you with placing notes more accurately and making nice blankets. To change the grid size to “tiny”, press the “G” button on your keyboard. /*I rarely use the grid while mapping, I prefer using a larger grid just for easier reference, and adjust it when necesary.
5. Same as Lally about the background image. The correct resolution is 1366 X 768. I managed to fix it for you:
   http://puu.sh/eXeU7/4982e7ee91.jpg[/color]

Easy:

1. 00:43:612 (2,3) -This distance is incorrect. Please fix it. /*Fixed
2. 00:06:631 (1) -This spinner may be too short for an Easy diff. I suggest to rather remove the spinner and place a long slider in its place instead. When placing notes in Easy, always remind yourself that it’s the easiest diff in your mapset, so it must not be too hard for beginners. /*Okay, did something here and put the spinner somewhere else.
3. 00:12:291 –Why not place a note here? It will help with nice flow and you placed one here: 00:15:310 –and both of them has the same beat. It’s best to be consistent. /*Not really, with the next suggestion, rather have some breaks between patterns, so they represent better the change in the music sections.
4. 00:15:687 (1) –Change this circle into a slider? Plays nicely in my opinion. /*Not like that, but made a similar rhythm.
   
   Picture

   
5. Strong beats can be heard here: 00:16:819 –and here: 00:18:329 – so I really suggest that you place notes in those spaces. (Remember to also not undermap an Easy diff; it must still be fun to play) /*Same as I said in 00:12:291 –, I like to have some rests between patterns in my Easy difficulties when posible
6. 00:22:103 –to 00:24:367 – This space feels so empty. Why don’t you map it? There are very nice beats that suggests nice rhythms. And if you really don’t want to map this section out, then I suggest adding a break there. /*I won't add a break as it's very short for the very low HP drain, and I won't map that section, the previous one ends in a really strong way, so having more objects or keep mapping consecutively will break the emphasis I want to give there, and that goes for when the mapping begins again.
7. 00:25:121 (2) –I’m never a fan of more than one repeat in an Easy diff. I think they might be a bit confusing for beginners to grasp, and the second repeat-arrow is also not so visible like the first one. I suggest that you do something else there. Why not follow the vocals instead of following the background music? A rhythm like this is better in my opinion: /*I removed the double reverses, but will not do as you say, this being a fully 1/1 section doesn't represent the music as I could like to do it.
   
   Picture

   
8. 00:31:159 (2) –Same here as above. Try to use a similar pattern like I did in the above pic. Following the vocals will bring forth very nice rhythm patterns and will make play more enjoyable. /*Same
9. 00:40:404 –to 00:41:159 –This space also feels so empty. There are still vocals, so why don’t you try to follow the vocals? Try this: /*I'm going to try something a bit risky.
   
   Picture

   
10. 00:46:631 –There is a strong beat here where I think you should rather place a note (circle) Always try to place single notes like circles or the start of sliders on strong beats to emphasize them. So try this: /*That would make this rhythm very similar to Normal, so I'll keep like I have.
    
    Picture

    
11. 00:55:876 –The vocals really suggest that a note should be placed there. /*I'm leaving a pause so the next note feels stronger.
12. 01:02:480 (3) –This slider can also rather be broken up into more notes, since you missed so many important beats. Try this: /*That would make this rhythm very similar to Normal, so I'll keep like I have.
    
    Picture

    
13. 01:18:706 (1,2,3) –I really don’t suggest that you try to form a certain rhythm by only using circles. It can get quite hard for beginners to read them then. Something like this will work better: /*I explained it before, everything being 1/1 wouldn't let 01:20:593 (4) - stand out as the more intense part in this combo.
    
    Picture

    

As far as I can see this diff is pretty undermapped and very simple. You still have to try and maintain a nice flow and patterns when mapping the easiest diff. Easy diffs does not mean undermapped diffs. You also tried to follow the background music in a lot of places where I think following the vocals would have been more effective. /*This difficulty isn't undermapped, the slider and sliderticks cover nicely the rhythm in the song; also I don't know why you say it is simple when I have a considerable amount of 3/2 rhythm (this makes it quite complex imo). And yes, I'm following the background music because I find it more catchy and easier to map than vocals, as the latter tends to go over red and blue ticks, making it a bit hard to simplify without sounding bad or plain 1/1, where the song clearly offers more than that.

Normal:

1. 00:17:008 (2,3) – Improve this stack. Just move 00:17:008 (2) – till it’s here: X:195 Y:335 /*Done
2. 00:20:216 (1,2,3) – I don’t suggest triple stacks like these in Normal. I think this pattern will work nicely: /*Acually, I had a rhythm like that before, but it found it a bit complex for this Normal, the triple stack is easier to play than being all spaced out.
   
   Picture

   
3. 00:21:536 –Why not place a note here as well? The music suggests it. /*I'll think about this one.
4. 00:22:103 –to 00:24:367 –Map this section out or place a break there. /*As in Easy.
5. 00:25:687 (2,3) –You’re following the background music again. So the rhythm you’re using are pretty simple and kind of . . . boring. I really suggest that you follow the vocals instead, so you can make nice and interesting patterns. /*I think I'll change a bit this part.
6. 00:29:272 (2,3,4) –Avoid triple stacks. Try this pattern again: /*Same.
   
   Picture

   
7. 00:35:310 (2) –Nazi. Just lift the tail of this slider a bit to make it parallel with 00:34:178 (1) – It will look tidier. /*That was intentional, but as I changed a bit the rhythm, I had to change the placement too.
   
   Picture

   
8. 00:36:819 (5) –Nazi. Just improve the placement of this circle please. /*Same
   
   Picture

   
9. 00:37:197 (1,2,3) –Not a nice rhythm at all. I’m not even that sure what you’re following here. Try this rhythm: /*I’m not even that sure what you’re following here
   
   Picture

   
10. 00:40:216 (1,2,3,4) –Improve this rhythm please. Try this: /*That's very dense considering the whole map.
    
    Picture

    
11. 00:51:159 (4,5,6) –Not recommended. Rather change these three circles into a repeat slider, like here: 00:50:404 (3) – /*Same as previous.
12. 00:54:555 (4,5) –Change these two circles into a short slider instead? /*Did something.
13. 00:55:876 –Vocals really suggest a note here /*As in Easy.
14. 01:03:801 –A note here will work very nicely and will make it a fun pattern to play. /*That's very dense considering the whole map.
15. 01:09:084 -^ /^
16. 01:09:838 -^ /^
17. 01:11:536 (1,2,3) –Try to avoid these kind of triples. /*Same as previous.
18. 01:17:386 –Vocals suggest a note there /*Considering the rhythm I've been using, not really needed to.
19. 01:19:084 (1,2) –This rhythm is too simple. Try this instead: /*It could look simple, but represents nicely the highest impacts in the music, also I have something like that in Hard.
    
    Picture

    
20. 01:24:367 (5) –Ctrl+H and place it here: /*Looks nice, done.
    
    Picture

    
21. 01:29:084 (3,4,5) –Avoid triple stack. Repeat slider instead /*Same as previous.

This diff also feels pretty undermapped. There are so many places where you could have placed more notes and made more complicated patterns. It looks like this diff can be a little harder, since the star rating is a bit too low in my opinion. At least try to reach a star rating of 2 or more. /*I have to disagree here, this diff is heavily mapped as a Normal, lots of 1/2 and that, and making it harder would break the spread Easy - Normal. Also, I wouldn't suggest to rely on star rating, as it's not very accurate in low difficulties, even I'm surprised this is rated so low.

Hard:

1. 00:27:386 (6) –Won’t this be more fun to play? /*Sounds cool, done sonething similar
   
   Picture

   
2. 00:33:423 (5) –Same suggestion as above.
3. 00:34:744 (2) –Why not try this pattern? /*The jump is a bit unfitting considering I used near zero jumps in the whole diff.
   
   Picture

   
   Like in the above pic you can also make a fun jump with 00:35:310 (3) –
4. 00:37:763 (2,3,4) –When I testplayed this diff, this rhythm was a bit confusing for me. I think you’re trying to follow a complicated rhythm. Why not rather follow the vocals instead. Same goes here: 00:40:782 (2,3,4) – /*I'm sorry, but I'm going to keep this, the strong bassy sounds are catchier, imo.
5. 00:42:669 –This is a pretty strong beat. I suggest starting a slider here to follow that long vocal. /*Sure.
   
   Picture

   
6. 00:51:536 (8) –Remove one repeat here and place a slider here: 00:51:914 –Like this: /*Okay
   
   Picture

   
7. 00:53:235 (3) –You can hear a long vocal here, so why not rather place a slider here to support that vocal? /*Considering the held last longer than this gap I prefer leaving it as a circle.
   
   Picture

   
8. 00:56:819 (2,3) –I suggest changing these two circles into a slider since a triple also starts here: 00:57:197 (4,5,6) – In my opinion it’s too many circles in a row. /*The two circles are the best way to emphasize this strong part imo.
9. 01:06:631 (1,2,3,4) –I’d say space these circles out more. You can hardly see that their spaced out at all. And it looks a bit messy. /*Not really, it's stacked the same way 01:05:121 (1,2,3,4,5) - is, just this is manual stacking
10. 01:13:046 (1,2) –I highly suggest making a bigger jump here. /*It's intended for the blanket pattern to look better.
11. 01:14:555 (5,1) –Same here. The pause there suggests a bigger jump which will also be more fun to play. /*Not using any jump in this difficulty, making one would be really odd.
12. 01:23:235 (3) –Replace the circle with a slider. /*The pause allows a nice emphasis for the next beat.
    
    Picture

    

I’m still kind of learning to mod Insanes, so I won’t be able to give you a nice mod for it. Sorry.
But the one thing that bothered me was that I think you should distance this slider 00:53:235 (3) – like you distanced this one: 00:56:254 (1) – For consistency. /*Considering the impact there is different, I have the different spacing there.

Overall, I’ll say that the main issue is the undermapping. Especially in the easier diffs. Some of the rhythms that you tried to follow didn’t really work in my opinion. Following the vocals will ensure nicer patterns.

Hope my mod was useful~
Good Luck with this map, DakeDekaane!

14:36 Lanturn: Hi
14:36 DakeDekaane: hi

14:37 Lanturn: there's a few of them in this area in easy
14:37 Lanturn: or is it just to match with the slowdown?
14:38 DakeDekaane: yup
14:39 Lanturn: k, then Easy is perfectly fine lol
14:40 DakeDekaane: :D
14:42 Lanturn: Normal is fine, how about adding TV Size to the tags? 
14:43 DakeDekaane: oh right
14:46 Lanturn: In hard. consider moving 01:13:989 (2,3,4,5) -  a little further away (up and left) just so the (1)->(2) doesn't feel like a jump
14:46 Lanturn: Just cause it's only 0.9 DS
14:47 Lanturn: that's it for hard
14:47 Lanturn: how to make pro dake maps lol
14:48 DakeDekaane: map shit, then return 1-2 years later and remap it less shitty
14:48 Lanturn: lol
14:49 DakeDekaane: and yeah, did that on Hard
14:49 Lanturn: cool
14:49 Lanturn: Insane: any reason why you didn't map this? 00:33:801 - the stream carries out to it and there's a heavy instrument here
14:50 Lanturn: or I'm hearing it wrong lol
14:50 Lanturn: same for hard I guess as well
14:51 DakeDekaane: the synth
14:51 Lanturn: alright
14:52 DakeDekaane: in fact
14:52 DakeDekaane: there's an extra note in that stream
14:52 DakeDekaane: 00:33:329 (12) -
14:52 Lanturn: lol
14:52 Lanturn: fine with me, was just wondering :P
14:54 DakeDekaane: removed that note and rearranged a bit just that part
14:54 Lanturn: alright
14:54 Lanturn: one other thing. They are kinda similar in a sense
14:55 Lanturn: 01:12:291 (1,2,3,4,5,1) -  and 00:20:971 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - 
14:55 Lanturn: 00:21:254 (2) -  is an extra note
14:55 Lanturn:    maybe delete that (2) and move the rest of the stream a little bit further away?
14:57 Lanturn: that's about it, everything else looks nice
14:57 DakeDekaane: that's a bit hard
14:57 DakeDekaane: as the stream is more noticeable in the first
14:57 DakeDekaane: but I'll see want can I do here
14:57 Lanturn: hmm alright
14:57 DakeDekaane: since I can read people complaining
14:57 Lanturn: rofl
14:57 DakeDekaane: but that'll have to wait a bit x_x
14:57 DakeDekaane: have to leave for a bit
14:58 Lanturn: ok
14:58 Lanturn: will you be back later tonight?
