I was reading this topic and I was getting really upset, but THANKS SO MUCH gote. You actually got the point.
Everybody got their opinion, everybody has their taste.
No need to apologize.
Code can say whatever he wants, it's HIS taste.

He can write whatever the hell he wants to write.


x2
Until you don't offend other people like saying his/her stuff is crap, you can say whatever you want.
I'm sure Code was trying to say his opinion.
No need to complain.
I know how it happens, I've been through this circle.
"I'm stopping expressing myself because you are saying bullshit. You say that my opinion is totally useless and that my video is a shit, so well... why should I keep on going?"
No way.
You are saying your opinion. Ok. My opinion is that I totally disagree with you.
No-need-to-apoligize.
No-need-to-complain.
Keep expressing your ideal and yourself.
There's no need to listen to everybody's opinions... Sometimes people don't even know what they're saying and they're just trying to get cool.

I do recommend exploring the interests of every group, but not succumbing to their beliefs or opinions.


There are extremely disagreeable people that write their cracked out opinions very well and entertaining to read and even get others to agree and support them! They also aren't afraid to alienate loads of people


This is the truth.

Good job Code and keep on going.

Geez, it's not like Code was being attacked and his review was torn apart, this is getting a little overboard.

Code did indeed voice his opinion and I responded with my own. That's it. No ill-will anywhere in there. No reason to get upset reading it....

I'm imbibing alcohol atm, so if this post ends up being slightly (or very) incomprehensible, well, sorry.

Code absolutely has the right to express his opinion. But I disagree with him. More on that later. In regards to journalistic integrity, well, this is an opinion piece. Saying something inflammatory like "90% of action amv's suck" is kinda misguided (since you could just as easily say 90% of amv's suck.) But he can write what he wants to write.

His stance is a rather popular position to take on action AMV's, unfortunately. I'm not entirely sure why some editors thumb their nose at action videos in particular. The other genres are no better or worse, imo.

I find this Lip Flapper very interesting, because it gives a great insight into what kind of action video someone who's not a fan of the genre enjoys. Personally, while I do think the video is good, I think it's nothing exceptional. The effects usage is overt (the wave effect at 1:08, in particular, is very obtuse.) Some great timing moments, however. The theme or "story" of the video makes sense to me, but I'm not sure it will to anyone who hasn't seen Summer Wars.

I'm sorry, I really wasn't upset with you, Ileia, but I was already angry for another reason and then I got my vent here. >.>
I had to do it in the vent topic in general discussion.
I apoligize for what I've said since it really wasn't my intention.
I hope you're not mad at me now. D:

I don't agree with the deprecation of the genre as a whole nor do I think my video lives up to what a "good" action AMV should be, but its making for some interesting controversy and discussion XD You're entitled to your opinions so continue with your reviews and don't let any opposition stifle you, Code =)

Controversy aside, I'd like to take this time to have a feel good moment for myself XD

I'm so flattered that my sweet little bunneh was considered for a public review, even more so since its one of the few action videos that Code likes :D Heck, my face is still flushed just from seeing the title of this Lip Flapper XD I'm not one that actually enjoys my own work, in fact I usually hate my stuff, but after reading this review, I was able to rewatch Bunneh and find it a little more enjoyable ^^

For these genre specific AMV reviews, it'd be interesting to get a second reviewer who has a differing taste than Code's, ya know, to have opinions from both sides of the spectrum. If Awesome Bunneh is a "good" action AMV to someone who doesn't like the genre, what AMV would someone who DOES have a preference for it consider "good"? I'm pretty curious about that.

Thank you for taking the time to review Awesome Bunneh, Code! It was unexpected, but very much appreciated! Keep the AMV reviews coming! They might make someone's day, just like this made mine =D

I think the bunny wins over other action amvs, because I'd rather look at his cute furry butt then some over muscled dbz character :) Also why I like a lot of Ileia's action videos hawtt anime chick > over muscled screaming guy.

I don't like this review, you mention many points from the movie (that arc is short blablabla) and I'm like : "Who cares? Are we supposed to know the movie to judge this video?". I don't think so.
Anyway, I never thought this vid was that good, I really don't get why you choose this one as an example as a good action vid, still my respect to the editor, it's not against him, I just think there are a lot of great action videos that deserve more to served as examples.

Well, I kinda agree. But I still liked it! I remember watching this a while back and I just watched it for all of the fighting scenes. At least he squeezed out all the boring parts of the movie :ying:

So perhaps reviewing videos from the perspective of never having seen the particular anime would be a better method? I can see how that would be beneficial to readers, as they may not have seen a particular anime before.

I can't promise that it would be ALL the time (if I ever review a video over an anime that I love, I'll likely go into that regard), but I will try to keep in mind that readers may not know a particular anime as well as I do. Thank you for the feedback.

Guess all that blonde hair was hiding under those goggles of his! Haha.

It was a good review, though I think this amv does lack concept. If you look at it, every action amv does have a concept/story... but only if you've seen the anime. :P Which is the same case for this amv. Nonetheless, it is an enjoyable amv, though mostly in the second half.

I appreciate your reviews, I think they're solid and well-organized. However, my one suggestion: rather than reviewing random amvs, I think it'd be better to review a genre or use an amv as an example of a good use of effects, etcetc. So this would fit under a good example of Action, and the sort. Maybe you aren't picking them at random and I just can't tell :roll: But to me, I think reviews are better left in the opinion box of a video, and the Lip Flapper would be a great place to have a more journalistic approach to reviews, kind of like your interviews, I don't know. Maybe you could even get more people's opinion on one amv, or have a partner or something, to kind of eliminate the whole biasy thing people have an issue with (which is a bit odd in itself, considering reviews are, opinions... and opinions are... yeah....) Not that you aren't a good reviewer, and I really like the format you have right now, but I tend to prefer your interviews more simply because everyone tends to have their own opinions on amvs, so in the end it's just like, "Well, there's Code's opinion on that amv, cool."

Still enjoyable though, so whatever you end up doing, just don't stop and keep having fun with it. :)

I seem to recall the line: "Hey, Love Machine, guess who's back? Now you'll have to deal with Kazma 2.0"

So I guess Kazuma (the kid) must've tweaked his AWESOME BUNNEH after that first fight. I just love that movie :D Its right up there in my list next to Ghibli's stuff.
