The Best AMVs Thread

[harry_kinomoto]

Mad Vids are basically fanmade videos inspired by a series (anime or VN). They are more than AMVs (anime music videos), as they often feature elaborate video editing. It's difficult to define it beyond that, so here's an example from Chuunibyou...

...and one from Little Busters~

They're usually (but not invariably) produced by the Japanese fanbase so most can be found on NicoNico, but the best tend to get ported over to YouTube. Share and discuss your favourites here!

In nicovideo have almost a spam of MAD's. The Worse that you can get is some bizarres videos... with... hard to tell; anyways

Chuunibyou the most funny is that the music "Kokoro Odoru" lyrics bizarrely fit the protagonist feeling.

Why not another MAD with the same music? This MAD make anyone wanna learn Mahjong

Anyways best animation about mahjong so far (well w/o count the fan-service, yes).

I've found a bunch of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei MAD vids I enjoy, so here are a couple.

This last one counts as an AMV I guess, but the editing is done extremely well.

This one is good, Metal Gear X Lupin the Third

*Saki Mahjong MAD*

Anyways best animation about mahjong so far (well w/o count the fan-service, yes).

Hahahha I rmb there was a version in which there was like ONE guy "singing" all the parts for this and it was really good lol! You've made me want to listen to it now~

This last one counts as an AMV I guess, but the editing is done extremely well.

*High Correction AMV(?) link*

Now THIS is the reason why I said MADs are difficult to define. I suppose purists would argue that one isn't a MAD because they more typically don't use such smooth transitions from scene-to-scene, and have elaborate embedding. That being said though, NicoVideo has many vids that don't share these features, yet are labelled MADs.

Meh, screw the definitions. I say just keep posting your favourite fanvids!

I've not watched Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei but you don't need to to recognise that that is one SWEET vid. Def going to check out that anime now!

[solidbatman]

I've been trying to decide the difference and I can't. To me, a MAD is just the same as an AMV, but has much better quality of editing and usually uses something more Japanese. Like, most AMVs use western music and such.

oh, I can only post 2 media files

some of my currently favorite MADs (I change them on weekly basis)

and then I am currently addicted to kirby's sand canyon so few from there

and rest you have to click yourself:

and then natural transition to yuruyuri mads

gorakubu VS seitokai!

and then I have some emotional MADs that are basically some cuts from the dramatic moments and such from VN's like Little Busters or Hoshimemo, but it is more as a memory and contains tons of spoilers so I will not post those.

Instead this awesome one from Hidan no Aria, actually I started watching that anime after I saw this MAD

[solidbatman]

Anyone up for a little Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei x Madoka Magica? Because I sure am.

[Kendjin]

So I was rewatching one of my favourite AMVs, I think its a good blend of good musical choice and good clip choice.

I haven't made any new ones in the last year, but it makes me want to pick it up again, but for now, what AMVs do you love?

If you watch this and I mean really watch it, I feel its a rollercoaster of emotion.

[Eurobeatz]

If we are including MADs, this one is my favorite of all time:

[solidbatman]

We already have a topic for this, but it was dead so no worries. I'm just gonna merge the two. As soon as I figure out how to do that anyway...

Ah sorry, I had a look, guess I didn't look far enough back

[solidbatman]

Ah sorry, I had a look, guess I didn't look far enough back :)/>/>

Like I said, it's dead, so no worries. As for a contribution.... man, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei had the best opening animations

Monogatari Series FTW!

[solidbatman]

Monogatari Series FTW!

That Monogatari one was outstanding.

[Eldin]

[solidbatman]

YESH! I love that Nichijou one!

Madoka Magica (Smallish spoilers)

[Kendjin]

Classic AMV.

Also loving that one Batman! Nichijou one is amazing!

EDIT:

Ok rewatched that Nichijou one... THAT WAS AAMAZZZIIINNNGGGGGG!!!!

What do you mean this isn't an AMV O.o

[solidbatman]

I'll just leave this madness here.

[Kendjin]

I'll just leave this madness here.

Have a +1 for that post!

[Eldin]

people liked the nichijou one, so i'll post a few more of my favorites.

[solidbatman]

I've always really enjoyed these two compilations. They are pretty popular, so you may have seen them already. I've noticed I tend to enjoy instrumental AMVs/MADs or AMVs/MADs with non English music.

[Kendjin]

Just watched this one...

Really liking it

[Kendjin]

Nice Titan MAD
