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.

Just quote someone's working code and you'll see how.

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.

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

However, this thread is about your favourite AMVs. The western version of the MAD.

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.

I was wondering what the difference was, that makes sense.

This video is what got me into appreciating AMVs ^_^

That certainly is a kind of MAD, but if you'll take a gander at the second video, in the post where I was on topic you'll that 11s make AMVs too. It also includes original animation and/or music, such as though the music on that is only mostly original. MADs also have ♫♫♫♫ that's basically, and actually I'd imagine, sideshows, like that has UBW spoilers in it, by the by.

Skittles is okay, the video is way too busy though, but J-Rap is a hilarious concept to me.

I suppose this would be another example? though it's also labeled as AMV...


Is MAD even an acronym for anything?

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.

Yes it is. It's probably labeled as such because people think they're interchangeable, and seeing how liberal the definition of AMV is getting in a couple more years and they might be.

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.

So, that doesn't not make it a slide show, it was just the first thing I could pull up. All the images are from the VN.

Yeah, but what's your point? Also the song isn't wholly original, it was inspired by an apparently really popular Touhou song.

Google has returned me no results for the meaning of MAD.

I see. That's about as much as I gathered from Wiki.

I've played the VA, they look more like fan art.

It's not stock footage, and that counts as a partial remix. You still haven't shown me an AMV that's like a MAD and vice versa.
