Title: Who here likes AMV's?
Post by: TrashMan on December 22, 2006, 06:06:31 pm
Or Anime Music Videos?

I jsut recently downloaded a whole bunch of them on my spare HDD when I was on my college (faculty..whatever), made use of their high speed connection :D

I had a few of them before but the ones I got now..WOW.. jackpot. Amazingly done, with excellent effect, timing and connection between the song/lyrics and the visuals.
Whoever makes original music videos that I see on MTV and elsewhere should die out of shame.


Below is my top 10 list on www.AnimeMusicVideos.org
You might notice that a lot of clips are from Escaflowne and that a lot of them are romantic ones (*gasp*, how can you? youre a guy! that mushy stuff is for girls!)
What can I say - when something is good, it's good. Period. and I have enough bloody action vids my list too :D

so, let's see your top 10 and comments.. TALK PEEPS! :D

I was thinking what he was thinking initially, but I have seen some good renditions of anime and music, though I rarely like the anime or the music

anime people are better than star trek\stargate people in that they don't go on inside joke rails as often, they use the visual and not the story behind the visual, which, frankly is irrelavant to the form

Get the BSG "A New Crew In Town" off a YouTube. Just do it. Ditto the BSG Battles one by Clonetrooper.

I had a good collection on the older computer. Stuff that springs to mind...Gundam Wing one set to Rammstein's Feuer Frei. Excellent coreographing.  08th MS Team (Gundam) one set to Nightwish's 10th Man Down also. There's a .Hack one that I like but it's mainly for the remixed version of Linkin Park's My December it uses rather than the video itself. The Vash vs. Spike one to Smooth Criminal is surprisingly good, even more so considering they crossed it over.

There's another Gundam Wing one set to a version of All Your Base that's good for a laugh. So is the Christmas at Ground Zero video.

Everyone and their dog does Duel of the Fates vids, or did. I kinda miss those, I could stand the music. Now it's all friggin' Evanesence.

For more subtle amusement, hunt down the one that replaces the sound of the third Inuyasha movie's trailer with Enigma's The Eyes of Truth. It's about twelve times as good as the real trailer.

If I remember anything else I'll mention it.

Vash vs. Spike? Sounds cool. Who doesn't love tho two nutjobs :D ?

Christmas at Ground Zero is a classic. I have all the Wierd Al's greatest hits.. He kills me!

Once I get back to some place with a fast connection, I just might look those up. Currently I'm way to busy listening to these again for the X'th time (they are amazing, especially hte first 5 on the list) and playing Medival 2: TW... LOL

I just happened across this and thought it was relitively clever.

I got the Gundan Wing ones.. Can't find the Vash vs. Spike anywhere though.. the link on Animemusicvideos.org is broken.. Can I ask where you got it from?

as for the topic, sometimes I liek them, if they're good. it seems every second one has rise against - give it all as the music, though.

The Macross Zero rendition of Nightwish - Tenth Man Down is a fav of mine :)

Also, the BSG clips set to Highway to the Danger Zone and the BF1942 theme music are good as well.

Kazaa originally, but it's gone. I'd suggest Limewire, but I suspect it's not there either.
