Any Really Great AMVs Out There?
« on: September 06, 2013, 01:15:22 am »
Just post any AMVs you think are great with a description as to why. Some prompts: Does it summarize the essence or an aspect of a character, or series? Does the song chosen fit unexpectedly well, or is the editing above-average? Did it change your view of a character or event? Heck, did a good one redeem a song you didn't like before? Be as specific as you want.

I'll start:

This one sums up the original series and movie pretty well, using its own theme song, or at least I think so. The editing is pretty simple, just carefully timed rapid-fire snips from the source material but (I don't know if this is intentional) it mimics the Journey Into the Mind scenes in-series. It's sort of like they condensed the whole thing into a five-minute video. The original has been deleted, but a few other users re-uploaded it.

EDIT: Aaaand my 10,000th post is about fascism, Plato, and gay sex. This is clearly a great accomplishment.

Funny. I love how Yoko voices Mulan. ...Yes your disguise is very good, no one will notice that you're not a man.

Very good editing, although I wish the it did not have subtitles, they kinda distract since they don't match the lyrics. Still pretty good for a beginner.

Halloween! It just fits so well.

Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

I'd just suggest going to animemusicvideos.org and digging through the high rated ones.

Fan of Avatar here, so here are 3 amvs with both The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra. Obviously, spoilers ahoy.

I wasn't the first to post something Manson related. Weird.

I first discovered this one in 2005, and it's still one of my all-time favorites.  Spoilers for Rah Xephon.

One of the most fantastic vids I have ever seen. I credit this video with getting me to watch Babylon 5.

I had been looking for a good Rammstein one. That was awesome. Glad I don't remember the lyrics' translation, because then it would be distracting, though. Here's some High School of the Dead + Disturbed.
