Like alot of anime fans I am a big AMV (Anime Music Video) fan and I am always in search for new AMVs and maybe some other people out there are looking to find some good AMVs too. So I am asking you what are your favorite AMVs. Mine are listed below.

Attack of The Otaku

Ouran High School Never Ends

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JApWR0dg3h4 is probably my favorite. I love Mahoromatic and it is just so well done

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CZUquFacpc is one of the top ones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJagejNrzqI is amazing. He has another one done to Last Exile that I love as well but can't find on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGgt5w1rjFg gets me every time.

@Blackstar - I like all three! I aready had Attack of the Otaku. It is one of my all time favorites. Whatever doesn't give you epileptic seizures makes you stronger.

Have you seen Chiikaboom's SugardanSen? I think you will like it. (YouTube ver)

@Tofutakeout - I like the second one Shake It! I wish I could figure out a way to download it.

@Trumby - Have you ever seen Full Moon wo Sagashite? If you have you may like this AMV. I warn you it contains SPOILERS so don't view if you intend to watch the anime. Chiikaboom's When Winter Descends (YouTube ver)

My other favorites:

Thundercatlord - Who Needs a King? (YouTube ver)

ThundercatLord's The Death Knight AMV's are also pretty good. Find here and here

AMV Comedians Pablo Francisco

I think those are my top ones. I like the AMV Hell series, but who doesn't?

Enjoy!

Wuntvor · « **Reply #10 on:** February 09, 2009, 08:32:31 pm »

May not be my favs, but I found them today and wanted to share:

A Crazy Anime Tribute - I like this one for a couple of reasons. One is that my wife has been running the Unofficial Cats Don't Dance Fansite since 1997, so the song is definitely one I am familiar with. Another, is that I recognize all the anime being shown, and lastly, the creator of the AMV made an effort to do lipsink. I think that adds quite a bit to any AMV.

Crazy Anime Music Fan Video. This one is just fun. Crazy music , and zany anime. Well done!

Pie Row Maniac · « **Reply #11 on:** March 02, 2009, 04:08:02 pm »

Jihaku
Various Anime
"Best of You" by Foo Fighters
A beautiful video about the celebration of all that is life. Beauty, sorrow, pain, love, blood, hate. Everything it has to offer. While even the creator will tell you it's simply an anime version of the song's original video, it exhibits such emotion to me that it's become my favorite AMV since it came out five years ago.

AMan Inside
Amon, The Apocalypse of Devilman
"I Stand Alone" by Godsmack
Somehow, the creator managed to do a character profile video about a guy possessed by the king of demons and do it majestically. Frankly, anyone who can make a lip sync be taken seriously deserves congratulations regardless.

A Different Side of Me
Golden Boy
"Unwell" by Matchbox 20
The song already conveys thoughts and feelings I have all the time, as I'm sure countless others have. But to add in one of my favorite animes to it, and to perfectly portray the perverted, undeniably likeable main character makes this one as another top video.

Jihaku
Various Anime
"Best of You" by Foo Fighters

I remember re-naming the file name in my playlists as "chewing-the-mike.avi" because there's this (live action) grungey dude popping up all over the place all the way through. It took me a second or third listen to actually get into the lyrics. My wife was similarly distracted; "Who's the creepy guy who needs a shave and a shower?"

Definitely a strong and thoughtful AMV. The sense of loss is and despair is very strong, but since the pain seems to be a consequence of promiscuity, I wonder whether the underlying moral of the song could be that it's better to wait - no matter how long - while you become someone who can make and keep a life-long promise, then search - no matter how long - for a lover who can do the same for you... (which is a VERY common theme and expectation in anime romances...)

Kinda like observing a ship wrecked on a shoal as a warning to the rest of us, "Chart a different course, it doesn't have to end up this way..."

Did you then realize that the grungy dude is the lead singer of the band that sings the song?

Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters

I think the song is telling the opposite actually: to not wait, to run past the moments of hesitation and live. More to the point, it focuses on the concept of pain and the instinctive response to turn away from it whenever possible. However, continually following this instinct robs the person of the eventual pleasures that come in allowing the possibility of pain, as well as helps appreciate those pleasures. Shinji from Evangelion learns this same lesson himself in the end of EoE. The AMV, as well as the song's actual music video, displays various aspects of life itself, to present all it has to offer by allowing oneself to be vulnerable and taking risks, both physically and emotionally.

Agreed - there is a thread in 'Off Topic & chat' called 'Favorite YouTube videos' - you should post live action stuff, Bugs Bunny vs the Air Bender, Invader Zim, and other non-anime stuff there...

If the moderators wish to move the link off this thread, that'd be fine by me...

At the Creator Meet-Up rollthestampede expressed interest in seeing Beck AMVs... although in retrospect he could've meant BECK the anime instead. But this reminded me of a creator I don't think gets the attention he deserves: Copycat_Revolver, who is one of my personal favorites and who has made a number of Beck AMVs. His work can be found here: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_myprofile.php?user_id=544283

Also, although it is not a Beck video, this is my favorite of his works: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=162956
