Kaxi's Nur Geträumt MEP had fanservice. Also, no warning.
AH! The qc must have been from you ^^ heh.
I think that the FS in this vid was mild.
I'm sure there's got to be some kids under 18 that should be forewarned if it's a fan service/hentai video.
why not.

Something like a checkbox for self interpretation of the editor? 14+, 16+ ...
Ah. Sounds like work and room for exploits and jerking for kiddies like Revbudadude.

Ayumix 2 has a brief segment that doesn't even show nipple, to most people it's not even any more offensive than the Sailor Moon transformations (you know they're getting naked, they're changing their clothes, AND IN PUBLIC. The sailor scouts are all exhibitionists), so I doubt the creators would consider it a "fanservice" video and would click the box.
I am quite a bit more sensitive to fanservice, you are right. Numerous people have told me that, including my own brother. With Ayumix 2, I'm talking about the one right after the Haruhi/Lucky Star segment. I didn't get a close enough look at it to see if it really was nudity or not, and I got rid of it immediately after that, so I'm not really sure now. About Sailor Moon, why do you think I don't like it? Exhibitionists creep me out.

Crap! I've been found out xD
Yeah, that was probably from me.

The only problem with the checkbox is that it requires honesty on the part of the creator. Also, it wouldn't specify what made it a certain content rating. Maybe it would have instead of an age checkbox a set of content checkboxes?

I'm quite familiar with the source, so I knew which track you were talking about. It's the only instance of vague-ish nudity in the entire MEP.

there was nudity in ayumix 2? I must have missed it.. O.o haha I had to go look at that clip to find it XD it didn't even register for me..

but then to me:
nakedness =/=fanservice
especially how he used it. I mean its not like "bewbs in your face bouncy bouncy" type of nudity, it was more like they were there and just happened to be naked.. like Ileia said more something similar to sailor moon nudity.

Yeah yeah, I know that, I just don't really like for there to be nudity on my computer, regardless of fanservice content or not. I have 2 reasons: 1) My mom would probably burn my precious computer at the stake, thus destroying my entire collection of AMVs and anime. 2) It would be a lowering of my personal standards. I don't even like nude artwork.

>.> and there's quite a bit of that in art museums.

So call me crazy, but I don't like nudity in any context. I'm not even going to use the justification that it's art. I believe AMVs are an art form, but that doesn't change the fact that there was nudity in the AMV.

Now I'm sad again since I had really liked the AMV up to that point, nut I still had to trash it.

You could just cut that part of the video out. :wink:

Well, that is probably what I will do as soon as I get a better video editing program than WMM.

I hate WMM, ever since I first looked at it's icon. When I first tried using it, it had numerous crappy glitches and was so screwed up that I couldn't even move a clip without it dying. I'm getting Vegas soon.

However, said AMV that I would edit will have to be frickin' amazing if it had nudity.

Why would I need psychiatric counseling? Because I have standards and values? If that's your reason, you should probably rethink how you live.

Am I the only one thinking it'd be fun to watch grandbahamut's reaction to AMV Hell 0? Or any of MexicanJr's vids.
