Especially the ones that uses anime that's rarely used and if there's a good use of effects. Those types AMVs always take first priority for me.


Sorry to disappoint you :cry:

I like amvs with... Good solid technical editing. If it flows with the rhythm of the music, and well, just sings to you then it's good.

When you can visually see the sound you're hearing, THAT'S a good amv...

My favourite genre would have to be action mixed in with comedy

I personally like best videos that express a certain atmosphere and cast fellings and emotions. To my mind a video is not defined by its effects, it's much more difficult if you have a concept that is not based on random action-scenes, but on a straight story-line. A good video should just have an acceptable visual-quality and an idea behind it. Action-videos have a low reviewable count in average, while you can watch a drama over and over again, enjoying the atmosphere.

Really upbeat dance videos are probebly the best followed
closely by comedy.
I watch these and gives me that o so good feeling. Romance videos, although sometimes touching, require you to be in the mood to watch it. So chose comedy or dance becsause , more often than not people are in the mood to watch these!

Comedy first....

I really like the AMVs that tell a story. I like the ones that are well thought out and planned, so people who haven't seen the particular anime being featured can still get a feel for what's going on.

Oh. "Less is more" editing rates high for me as well. Loads of SFX really isn't my cuppa.

I like drama best. I love very emotional videos^^
And I like it when there's a story in an AMV.

I mean I don't really care about the content of an AMV as long as its put together in an enjoyable and unrepetative way.

well said - that rings true to about 70% for me. However Clever Content does make my day every once and a while. Even if it's presented in a crappy way. [can't think of examples right now though :/]

I like crossover horror. Since my genre is the most obscure (with approx. 0 videos, to my knowledge) that obviously means my taste is superior and I can dismiss your opinions as the ravings of philistines.

:roll:

In all seriousness though, I agree with Foxjones, Instrumental tends to be the category I'm most interested in.
