I would say Hellsing (I've only made a few videos, pipe down), because as hard as I try I always keep leaning back towards action. I'm sick of action. Shoot. :x

Dragonball Z and Cowboy Bebop. I may not exactly pride myself in being the most original thinker. But I won't want to put out a video from either of these two series unless I was sure I had something somewhat new. Yeah, for me it's over used anime.

First of all the word AN is reserved for nouns that begin with vowels. just a friendly english lesson, I hope that doesn't sound too harsh, I don't know you at all...so I don't want to be mean about it.

Secondly, I am not asking what is the the difficultly with the footage, what I'm asking is what is the anime you have had the most difficult in making it the best it can be. for instance...when I was working on one of my Trigun project I was trying to use a scene where a guy playing a guitar mimics the sounds of the music, but it was driving my nuts that he was not hiting the notes properly...now obviously most people aren't going to notice that, but it bothered me...another problem I had was trying to find good enough footage of all the characters I wanted. a lot of time they were talking, or the scene didn't have enough drama or characterisation to merit using that footage, but I still wanted to use the character...

another good example would be When I made my first video, in the last third there are no lyrics for one to follow and lyrics are a newbie's bread and butter, so I ended up with a full minute of long cuts and pretty much random footage. Evangelion offers so much, and as a new creator I didn't recognize all its possibilities...

Also, when trying to make a video using lain I feel short as well. I don't feel that lain is very conducive to the typical AMV, because the character design and animation are so utilitarian.

Obviously there are ways to make incredible videos with Trigun and Lain, it's just that I'm not the kind of person who makes them...

ANyway, I was going to go get some food...I hope that clears up the question...

I have a Princess Mononoke AMV that I refuse to release because the landscape pans stutter so badly (even when watching the DVD itself).

Angel's Egg was a challenge due to its vague storyline and near total lack of action. Since I had to eliminate any scenes with the male character, that reduced the options even further.

Porco Rosso was difficult because of a severe shortage of scenes for the story I wanted to tell. And most of the scenes that I had were too short for the type of music I was using. (There's a Murphy's Law for this experience.)

Dragon Ball GT.

Not because the series sucks in general, since I could make decent video out of it. But the quality on the dvds is so grainy with VERY visible film damage that it's so painful to look at. :x

I was making a Kare Kano video a year ago but the footage was so ass-ugly that I stopped.
