Other female? Yay, we have a complete Circle Jerking.

Circle jerking? That's for n00bs. Real men play Ookie Cookie.
But us women can't really play that (not as well, anyhow), so it's perfect for you guys.

On-topic, I agree with SarahtheBoring. I don't always remember the names of the people whose videos I watch. The only way I ever even find out who's a "good" editor is from threads like this.

I'd say my favorite guy is Michael Gondry... except he does REAL music videos.

The creator of this post named two of the best out of there: Fluxmeister and jBone, although, to be honest, I prefer jBone. And what he said about jBone, that you need to watch his videos more than once before you begin to really appreciate them.

Urban Ragnarok is easily my favorite AMV. Even though Metropolis isn't my absolute favorite anime video, jBone really does it justice.. and you don't see many good ELO videos, although ELO is easily one of the greatest musical artists of all time (The "orchestra" I mean).

Well, Sarah I guess people just got tired of watching Godix fellate himself all the time.

I can't say for certain they are the best, but near the top of my opped list is populated by:

Bakadeshi - Consistently good, with solid editing and effects skills.
Otohiko - It's like looking at artwork, and liking it. (not counting that Turkish thing)
Brain Carnival - Solid, tightly paced editing with a clean blend of effects
Tsunami Jones - Sarcastic humor works for me.
Flint the Dwarf - Unassumingly good videos, with strong story value.

Other videos that I watch, but haven't scored might be:
Hitori - Karumi.... eheheh...
Zarxrax - "tell me what you want, what you really really want...."
Moonlight Soldier - Fun and enjoyable
SarahTheBoring - Quirky and enjoyable (in spite of what she insists)
MexianJunior - Perverted for sure, but still pretty good at what he does. (except that tub thing gahk.)
StarMasayume - Fun, and endearing.

True. However I get tired of picking on Trythil all the time (it's just too easy) so I was going to let her posting pass....

Should I change my sig to "I HAVE FEMALE GENETALIA!" -_- Why do people always assume I'm male?

But to be on topic. all of the editors mentioned in this post are good, but really, for a lot of people it's not always the technically *best* creators that become people's favorties, rather those who make AMVs for the genres and animes that they like. My favorite editors aren't really that great objectively, but because I love shoujo and YAOI I like their stuff the best. ^^;;

Arigatomina, Sierra Lorna, and Aluminum Studios are pretty much tied as my favorite.

Not my intent. If anything, having a favorite editor means that you have close friends in the community, and I envy that. The wistful why-do-I-have-to-suck-so-bad envy, not the mean kind. So don't be silly. When have I ever claimed to be better than anyone?

Anyway, friendship is the power that will save the universe, like they tell us in all the shoujo anime. Cue the group hug with sparkles in the background that will probably fuel a thousand perverted doujin artists.

Bakadeshi, Sierra Lorna and Otohiko..

I just love Bakadeshi's AMV's, He knows how and where to use effects on Romance Videos.
Sierra has a nice style, and pulls out videos with both effects and elegance (Just like her style)

And well.. Oto comes up with weird ideas.. That no one but him would ever pull out.
