I don't really care. My video selection has videos of both catergories and I'm happy with it.

None is better really, it's all dependent on one's opinion.

I for one (and this is known throughout the org by now) love the faster multianime-amvs.

That doesn't mean I "hate" the "thought provoking" amvs. I happen to have them ranked very highly among the 200+ amvs I've reviewed. Zarxrax's "Tod" amv really boots me in the skull as the best Evangelion AMV I've seen to date. The fact that he won a "special" award from Brad Demoss (so I'm told) kind of knocks me down. ^_^ But then again, it's not the award right? It's the content of the video and the audience in question that matters.

In terms of preference for me though, if you throw two amvs at me, one that's serious and thought provoking and the other being fast and wild dance that just won't let me fall asleep, then yes, I'll watch the latter video first. That doesn't mean I'll score it higher however. ^_^

If you have to many Different series in an amv i feel it gets overloaded and the it's not as personal as one.

Hmmm... I've done both kinds and found no real preference with either style. My single anime vid told a story while my various anime vid just did random acts. Have plans to try a various title vid that tells a story next. Think more on your concept and what you want to try to accomplish (or rather whatever idea you have bouncing around your head and want to get into the world) and develop it from there.

As a creator, it's easier to work with one series because I can focus on one or two subjects without the complexity of adding elements from a totally different anime.

But like AD says, what really matters is concept. If you have an idea that could work with multiple series - do it. Watch enough anime and you'll see there are a lot of similarities among them, no matter how different they may seem to one another on the surface.

As a viewer, I generally avoid watching/downloading vids that use "various" footage for much the same reasons I stick to using one title for editing. It's visually discombobulating and audibly incoherent with the music it's set to. But that's just based on the few I've seen. There are some VERY good ones out there, especially those that composite characters from one series with another. It's simply a matter of personal taste on my part.
