Most Difficult Anime

I was just wondering what Anime Series or Movie people have had the most trouble in making successful videos with.

I would say the most difficulty I have had would be Trigun...that series is all over the place plot and character wise that I often seem to reduce my project attempts into random scenes...

Does anybody else have an anime that just gives them to most trouble when they try to make a video?

Well, if you put all you've got in your video and try to make it look good as the time passes by you realize that there's less and less footage to work with. Even if you have a 100 eps show, that doesn't help a bit. It might seriously lack in material you need.

I always had a problem such as that. With every video. But I never encountered an anime that would give me a big headache when it's about AMV-ing it. There's always some sort of small idea.

Sailor Moon hands down. The dvd quality is crap, the animation is jilted still frames (aside from the repeated transformation/attack scenes, and those are limited per season). Unless the video is a character shot, or one that doesn't require fast (or smooth) animation, the anime doesn't lend itself toward amvs. Sadly enough, but it's mostly slow pans, and still shots (with lips moving, but the frames jitter while the lips move so even that animation isn't smooth half the time).

If you mean theme-wise, I find Gundam Wing difficult to work with - most of the footage is mobile suit battles, so those who don't know the anime won't see the significance of the different suits (as representing the pilots inside) - that makes character-oriented story vids difficult. At least, difficult for me. ^_^;

I've only ever used NGE, FLCL, and Kare Kano (notice a pattern here?), and of the three, I'd have to say that Kare Kano's given me the most trouble. Standard "GAINAX effect" jitter, interlacing issues and frame blending perhaps even worse than with NGE, plus general low bitrate (though I am thankful that TRSI stuffed the series onto just five disks).

Oh wait, did you mean concept-wise?

Three?

I remember two series and two OVAs that were essentially the series compacted....
