Favorite AMVs
I'm a big fan of AMVs. I'm not able to make my own, but I do enjoy watching them. ^_^ Hopefully everyone would like to share their favorites with me.
This AMV "Valhalla" features Macross Frontier and was a finalist in the AX '09 AMV contest. For anyone who hasn't seen the series yet, this video may contain spoilers.

Re: Favorite AMVs
Fun fact: Most AMVs suck hard ♫♫♫, so this a list of favorites only by the virtue of them not being awful.

Re: Favorite AMVs

Re: Favorite AMVs
There are a few hidden gems out there, but they are all old AMVs:
Yes, they are all Azu AMVs, however, they are all amazing. Of course, I gather this doesn't include the Japanese MADs.

I don't see why it wouldn't. AMVs are just a subset of MADs, so as long as it's noise (AMV's grown to be pretty broad) over anime I'd imagine it's fine. I mean I already posted two. Anywho a little "blast form the past", as it were, for me with the 1985 AMV. The video is weak a points but the song caries it. Last edited by Shadowblade Edge; 01-09-2010 at 05:50 AM. |

I'm a big fan of AMV Hell. Very funny stuff there, and I can't wait for the next one.

Re: Favorite AMVs
No they aren't. MAD is a blanket term for basically any A/V fanwork, AMVs among them, though I believe they're called anime MADs in Japants, but six of one half a dozen of another.

Re: Favorite AMVs
MADs are remixes however (audio), AMVs are purely just stock footage on top of stock music, maybe with a few filters ran through the footage.

Skittles is okay, the video is way too busy though, but J-Rap is a hilarious concept to me. Last edited by Shadowblade Edge; 01-10-2010 at 12:01 AM. |

Re: Favorite AMVs
The second MAD there was based upon a Visual Novel, of course it'd be like a slide show.
The images look to be original drawings, however. The first video uses both, what I imagine to be 3D animation that only has a single colour and set to it (contrasting to the background) and original music.

I don't believe so, word on the street is it's based off the name of some of the first MADs, but I can't say for sure. Quote:
Yeah, but what's your point? Also the song isn't wholly original, it was inspired by an apparently really popular Touhou song. Last edited by Shadowblade Edge; 01-10-2010 at 12:59 AM. |

Re: Favorite AMVs
Google has returned me no results for the meaning of MAD.
