A small discussion E.C.Dover
How many of you guys watch amvs? What do you think makes an amv good? And which genre do you prefer?

I don't, sorry. Those that have enough time, and are devoted to an anime enough to make an amv of it, are usually the kind of fans that I don#t agree with. If they're boys, they'll just put all the "badass" moments they can find. If they're girls, it's usually just boring.

Only fanmade-video I've liked so far: The epic "Harem Geass" series, this is the second video, I liked the first on better but I can't find it.

A perhaps totally out of place opinion considering where we are, but I think amvs should bring out the message of the anime itself or at least convey a -truth-. For that to work, the creator has to believe in the message, and it has to be at least interpretable from the anime. Otherwise it can't connect to the watcher; it has to draw on the common experience of having seen the anime and invested the time, then evolve it into something meaningful.

Probably my favorite amv is E.N.O.Z. feat, to 4ever! with Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Captures Haruhi's spirit and the HaruKyon relationship. Just search 4ever on youtube, I guess.

Most good amvs are just that, good, so genre doesn't matter. Danceable is a bonus, but sad can be good too.
