Some AMV are good, but some are just cheap since they don't really do anything except mash a bunch of scenes together and play a song.

Yeah, suppose i can agree with the general consensus, not all AMVs are god awful. Condemning the entire practice would probably be wrong. And that good AMVs are vastly vastly outnumbered by bad ones, which can give the wrong impression. Because of that however i probably won't go out of my way to look for the few good ones.

Rather spend my time watching real anime honestly! But stupid short little videos like that are always good for when your bored. Was a few decent ones in this thread, the ones i bothered to look at.. at least.

On a different note, surprised that majority of people who responded saw generally where i was coming from, and didn't flame and pick apart my post like that cute little fellow on page 1. As my initial post did contain alot of hatred and biased-ness. (not that i'm taking back anything i said) Must mean a good community here. (for the most part:) )

I am kind of impartial to AMVs. If it wasn't for Princess Maker - Petite Princess Yucie I would have never of discovered fansubs and if it wasn't for Carol of the Cute Ones - Various I never would have watched Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne.

Actually before I discovered better methods of discovering good series, one of the main ways I found shows to watch was to watch (usually mediocre) mix series AMVs and see if any of the shows interested me. If I end up watching a bad AMV I can usually at least amuse myself by seeing what scenes I recognise and remember.
Although there are the extreme bottom of the barrel AMVs which I can't even do that with like the ones which just show a bunch of magical girl stock footage.

I do not hate them, but its true there are some shitty AMV's with creators who think they are very creative and such. In my opinion most of them are bad, but there are some I like.. its not very easy to make a good one, I actually have respect for people who put alot of time in a good AMV =)

For the most part, I don't like/watch AMVs, but there were a couple I liked,
there was an evangelion Bohemian Rhapsody one and an Evangelion 99 red balloons one.

Also, I've seen all the AMV hells.
My current anime list is grossly, out of date, just so you know.

I saw someone pull this off well ONCE.



Warning for MASSIVE Kanon spoilers.

Generally though slide shows are the worst. Especially if it consists of some shitty song and shitty Naruto fanart the "creator" stole from random people on DevART. If someone did that to my art without asking I'd rip them a new one, lmao.

Just because of several crappy ams you don't need to say this "all they do is link a bunch of random clips together and then add music like death metal"
Just say that you don't like death metal and death metalic (O.o) amvs <.<

I only like them if they are good. I'm picky. If I don't get into it at the first few second I don't watch the rest. I hate when I find a real scene I want to watch and it has (the worst) music. And all the excuses are the same "I had to do it so it won't get removed." Load of crap. Neith the scene ot the song belongs to you so it will get removed.

It's not McDonald's that they're obsessed with. It's the character Ronald. To watch the Ronald videos -- it's like watching someone who's completely batsh1t crazy.

Sadly. They haven't topped this 2007 version.

What really makes this one special though? It really set up Saimoe as something... exciting. Then to be able to cram like... at least 100 anime girls into one video. That takes some work.

===

Then the Bad Apple video. That one is so amazing. Who thought that Black and White is dead? The Wow-Factor hit me so hard such that I grabbed a couple more Touhou games and played 'em.

What AMVs have legitimate Death Metal songs? Seriously, point me to them. AMVs always have shit weaboo/mallgoth music like Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Shitknot or MCR.

I don't think AMVs are a terrible thing, but some of them are just a bunch of clips piled together with cliche music that turn out wth bland results. Every once in a while I'll find a good one though.

LMFAOOOOO. If you pick out one bad thing and harp on it pay the most attention to itthen I can definitely say you are familiar with the org.

Anyway great thread, I got to see new amv shit O:
That one Shadow posted earlier, def deserves more
views than the AMV of Bleach crap with subs plastered all over it. <_<

If not for the outrageous fan-base, it prolly wouldn't get so many 5 stars. Hell not even the great AMV's get 5 stars, and thats b/c people feel they still can do better.

Koopiskeva's Euphoria is freaking amazing... (YAY Frito watched it)

Nunchuck's whoa did you see that unicorn was utterly amazing...

Onelastkiss' like you and me was also amazing...

You can find those amv's on animemusicvideos.org

A lot of time and effort and money -_-" is put into the top amv's.

And its true that people make amv's with shitty subs in it, or with shitty quality or with shitty overused music but there are still many good amv's out there.

I have a friend who made a few amv's and he is about average when it comes to making amv's.... They are nowhere near as good as euphoria but they are still pretty entertaining to watch... A lot of time and thought is put into amv's... My friend of mine spent 10 hours making 20 seconds of his amv at one stage..

To be honest I tried making amv's myself... It is hard and time consuming... You need a lot of persistence because i attempted making an amv 3 times and i gave up on all of them when i got up to about the chorus part of the song.. T_T

Probably because of the amount of time put into making an amv could be a reason to why people are praised so much for making an amv...

I believe people should try to make an amv before they can give a detailed comment on an amv

On a side note, on amv.org it states whether an amv contains spoilers so you know when to watch something...

2. It's not really as original as you think if you know the original composition is "Bad Apple" from Touhou 4 "Lotus Land Story".



This song can be found on the album "Lovelight" if anyone is wondering.
