I thought the third clip from the end was clever and well-done. And I haven't even played that game (hopefully someone else who has gets to watch this AMV, or at least that 30-second part of it).

Having a Christmas theme should have helped tie this all together and yet this felt like the most random blipvert-style AMV I've ever watched. The mix of comedy/parody/hentai (!) with actual sincere holiday-themed clips felt awkward and weird. At least 2 clips in this didn't seem to have anything to do with the holidays at all. The last thing I expected from an MEP like this was to come away feeling confused but here we are.

Merry Christmas! :sweat:

First, you know AMV Hell? This has something for everyone. It's not only happy, joy xmas mep. It's Xmas Hell!
Second, over half of the makers were japanese and it was done in style of AMV Hell that has something for everyone. So what if someone went little off from the theme. (try to communicate in japanese yourself, this is first ever) Hell, at least they contributed. (6 japanese, 3 finnish, 1 american)
Third, Charger Girl Ju-den Chan is not hentai. It has Rating: R+ - Mild Nudity. Hentai has Rx rating but i'm sure you know this.
Fourth. Merry Christmas. Live a little and keep an open mind. Closed mind is like a sewer, it stinks to high heaven.

Mwahaha! I'm not even sorry this time!

My personal favourites are the nekomimi ode to joy and twelve nights at freddys ^_^

I also liked the way clip-switch were done.
It's true that at some of the clips seems to have nothing to do with christmas, but as a overall it's a nice classic Arctic Tribe holiday mep. It felt good to be part of it again after a long time.

I am happy that you joined it FoxJones. This is one of those marks in history. This is first ever MEP with japanese AMV makers joining forces with western AMV makers so you, and others who joined, are now part of history. I sincerely hope we can come closer and do more in future.
Arctic Tribe rides again. To boldly go where no-one has gone before. (those who know me knows this is what i do)
P.S. My clip is the last one. Lonely christmas.
