Not too sure if this is the best place, but as i just want to show off my first efforts, instead of generally linking you to cutscenes of games...
(.heck//G.U. cutscenes to be precise)

but yeah, the 7 minute (longest) one took about 3 hours :x (thanks to trying to hear and work out the kanji of complicated words and then trying to make it actually make sense lol)

but i'm pretty sure they're pretty much perfect now and i'm pretty pleased with my first attempts at using my growing japanese knowlegde for something useful :P
adding in the subtitles was easy though, using probably one of the best programs available, aegisub

Maybe, but there are worse ones out there...
Also, it's something you have worked on and had effort on (and took you more than 3 hours) and wanted to show us, I don't see anything pointless there... ;)

Nice translations :)

I think that some parts don't sound much natural, though... maybe you should revise them. Also, consider that in Japanese people tend to put commas in places that in English you wouldn't put (for instance "ore wa, sou omowanai")

hmm yeah, trying to get it to sound good in english but not completly destroying it is very hard :( lol
but i think where commas are aren't too big a deal, if the whole sentence is going to be completely changed to make it make sense in english. but with short simple ones like that, i guess yeah... lol but again, in the end its just finding the line between how different to make it.
