I remember they were considered new and fresh when I just started high school, but I remember hating them in 2010 (the year I graduated high school) they fucking flooded Youtube by then. You have no idea how many videos have the song " let the bodies hit the floor" or Linkin park music, ugh, cancer. It was fine at first, but they over saturated Youtube with the same unoriginal content and window movie maker.


I think if I was a little older around that time, I'd definitely make a video that parodies every single AMV ever. Or I'd make an account with a ton of AMVs but all with the same Linkin Park song in different themes.

There are plenty of good AMVs out there its just they're overshadowed by the shitty ones.

I love AMVs as long as it fits the scenes or characters/series in general. Also add in some nice effects.

I just stumbled upon this thread and it's 2016... I didn't read the date, so I was very surprised to hear that opinion. AMVs are much much much more developed now and not just clips put together. Now they are done with detailed transitions, effects, and loads of creativity on the level of a professional (in most cases). I know no one will see this, but I just wanted to throw that out there. ;)

yes, most are horrible, i have to agree. there are a lot of editors on youtube who make outstanding amvs that are not just random clips on a random song. for example, i spent 10+ hrs on a 6 second typography edit. other editors are just like me and put many hours and hard work into them. i can link some if you wish

Awww, let's spread it thinner. Now, they've also proven to be quite a death for me. So...

a) lengthy sessions leave you butt-hurt,

b) you demand an IMDb entry for yourself - quite forcefully but equally amiss,

c) the only one who comments down below is some UK fellow two times older than you with a nice SS soldier unloading his stuff in the avatar.

Need I say more?

EDIT: you sometimes feel like setting up a Live-Action Discrimination Support Group. Right?

It's not wrong for you to hate them, it's your opinion. Personally I like and enjoy them. I don't find them to be the coolest thing made or something, but after watching an anime I like watching a couple for it. They're pretty nice and some can be really sick.

If you ask me. I kinda don't like them anymore. At first they are cute. But at the end of the day.. most AMV are just over the top editing with lots of pretty colors. No wonder the AMV community are mostly filled with girls (no offense)

PREACH! I'm an abridger for Tales of Zestiria Abridged, and to see people take such pride in putting random clips to music just confuses me. They definitely act like they've formed a masterpiece when in reality it brings nothing original to the table. At least content like fandubs or abridged series alter things a bit and deliver something worthy of praise.

I don't hate them. I just find it funny sometimes how shitty they are and that they use the same songs such as "bring me to life" by evanescence and "numb" by linkin park in 89% of them, you know, all the classic emo songs in the early, dark age of youtube lmao.

This is a topic i wanted to discuss for some time. But i think i may be the only one on the planet who hates these things, anyone else feel the same way? I also realize this is a anime site, and i'm fairly certain almost all anime watchers love AMVs. I'm probably alone :(

I hate them for several reasons, the people creating them think their the most creative people in the world, when all they do is link a bunch of random clips together and then add music like death metal. Yeah, your really creative. Add the fact that most of the people respond to these videos like the creators have done something truely amazing-- worthy of worship.. it just adds to my hate.

Whenever i voice my opinion on these videos i get attacked by a posse of AMV fanatics or have my comments deleted by the author who can't take negative feedback as hes the most creative person in the world of course. But i guess i'm a bit biased to be commenting on random AMVs, the mass majority of them are horrible though. Some are almost tolerable for me.

When i'm searching for a very specific TV or anime clip on sites like youtube, i have to rephrase my search quite a few times because a bazillion crappy AMVs pop up, and i still end up wading through shit tons of them to find what i wanted. Annoying and adds to my hatred.

So, is it wrong of me to hate AMVs? Does anyone hate them as much as i do? Is this threads responses only going to be flaming me because all anime watchers are AMV fanatics? Is someone going to attempt to convert/brainwash me into the AMV religion?



Majority of AMVs are trash. Unsynced, bad music not fitting theme, boring transitions etc. Good AMVs are amazing though.

I take hours picking clips and making sure everything is smooth clean and effects that dont distract too heavily from the intent. Good flow, time remapping for sync and clean transitions are the key.

I mainly end up hating AMV's of popular anime like Naruto, bleach, etc. They always seem to have the same ol song, it's either skillet, or three days grace. I do appreciate AMV's that have some smooth jrock, though.

Can't say that I "hate" them per se, but I do dislike them. There's like 1 AMV in existence (or was, has been deleted from youtube ages ago) that I deemed good. It was of Hellsing Ultimate and had the ED theme for the 9th episode as the soundtrack. AMVs like that can really work.

However, those that use Linkin Park songs and other similar stuff really don't work. Not saying this because I'd hate all the songs they use, I'm a fan of the old Three Days Grace for example, and while most of their songs are good, I cringe when they've been used in an AMV. It just doesn't work.

I like AMV's like this and this, because the editing and timing is great and you can see a lot of effort put into it.

But yes, I'm not a fan of these type of AMV's. nothing interesting or unique, even the song doesn't fit the anime or any of the characters.

So I can definitely understand your reasons for not liking AMV's.

I normally don't care for them as most tend to be poorly edited and the songs feel tacked on without enhancing the overall experience. That being said, the medium does have potential and there are definitely some gems out there:

As an editor, I can agree to your hatred for mediocre non creative AMVs that could take any idiot 5 minutes to make.

But you haven't seen enough amvs. Ever heard of a mep? Now that's some talent. Making an amv, when you put actual work into it, is a lot more difficult than you'd think.

Also, part of it may be because a lot of Americans are so damn obnoxious, and I've hated hearing them open their loud mouths.

I kinda liked Baccano's op, I felt like it was kind of western sounding, but that's cause it had a nice tune with no words.

Okay, forgive me on this one, I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence. I'll elaborate: When kids grow up, they're extremely annoying and well, obviously they cuss all the time...I'm not sure what other countries are like (including the country of my nationality), but it's really irritating to someone like me who likes quiet environments.
i tend to skip OP's so i dont know too many but from last season one i really liked was inuyashiki's which was mostly english

I absolutely LOVE AMVs. Of course, not the badly edited ones.

-Examples of good AMVs from Naruto Shippuden-




-Attack On Titan- ( not all AMVs need to be flashy and all. Just being in sync with the music and having the right scenes show up, depending on the lyrics of the song, can make an AMV very good, in my opinion )

So there's a surprising amount of hate towards AMVs... I suppose it's understandable, I have a lot of interest in them so I tend to watch a lot on my free time, meaning I find a lot of the more popular ones that... suck. Really really suck. Excuse me, *Cracks knuckles and pushes up glasses* note: id never ever crack my knuckes because im a little bitch and i also dont wear glasses for I'm more than just a bit obsessed with these.

The AMVs that are worth it, have a lot of technique behind it and are tedious to make. I've yet to make a full song AMV because it takes too much time and a lot of trial and error. I've stuck with shorter edits and since last year I've been slowly but surely working my way up to longer edits. I'm hoping to attempt a good AMV soon. There's also things like difficulty with quality... which is to put it nicely... a bitch at most times to deal with. Because of how time consuming 10 seconds of good quality editing is, the best video edits are MEPs, which stands for multiple editors project. Now those... those are beautiful (Most of the time as long as the people hosting the MEP know what they're doing and find capable editors.)

Well, I can say that I'm absolutely obsessed with video editing so I'm just gonna put some good examples and well made AMVs/MEPs below. As an editor, I can really appreciate the technique put into them.
