Hey all you AMV creators out there...We have an incredible deal today, we're selling the unopened perfect collection Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD boxset, for those times when YOU wanna make the list of the best or worst Eva vids. Buy this now and I can assure you it will fulfill all those dreams of being compared to EVA -"Butterfly" and perhaps make you the next big Eva AMV maker.

Please contact TheNanashii@aol.com for more info on the boxset as it is really being sold and this was just a shameless plug making fun of this thread.

Rudeboy's been editing registration entries all day. Rudeboy's mad beacuse he can't get his PSX pad to work wit DWI. Rudeboy is both stressed an' mad at the same time. Baaaaaaaaaaaad combination. Now someone dissed Rudeboy. Bad move.
Okay jackass, les' see your statements, an' my responces to them.

1) Linkin Park, "In the End," made by Abaddon.

This is truly the video that defines what Eva is all about. These kids fight so hard and suffer so much, but after all is said and done, everyone dies. Their frustrations and sadness (except Rei's, for some unknown reason...)are captured more perfectly by this video than by any other that I've seen so far. Anyone who trashes this video *cough*Tommyrude*cough* is an idiot of the highest caliber.
Okay, lemme make a few things perfectly clear. 1) I HATE Abaddon's versionj of In The End. 2) I DO think mine is better.
There's no real emotion in his video, it relies more on slow fades than anything to express the sad themes. He SAYS the lyrics fit the video, but wit' the exception of like 2 scenes, it takes a REAL stretch of the imagination to say they fit.
An' the MAIN reason I hate his video, the cardinal sin, the crime for which there is NO redemption in AMV creation, he ignored every f*cking break point in the song. What's a break point? For those of you who don't know, thass either a change in the lyrics or a change in the beat. His used almost nothing but random transitions that REALLY make vids look amature. The timing on that video is AWFUL, a'ight? Deal wit.
Best vid? No way. Best Eva vid? Oh HELL no.
You wanna dis' MY inteligence, boy? Damn yo, you got the brass t'call me an idiot, then run y'mouth like some little retarded bitch who's hopefully gonna be weeded out by Darwin's law before they're old enough to reproduce. Maybe if you took the cock outta your mouth, your brain would get a little oxygen an' you might be able to generate an inteligent thought or two. (Well, maybe two's pushin it.)

Anyway, time for a shameless plug. Go check out the REAL In The End video for Eva. (I don' mind sayin' that because I still say the competition doesn't have the RIGHT to carry the banner of such a tight anime/music combo.)http://www.animemusicvideos.org/legacy/video.php?v=7696

I've seen lots of bebop vids where I've thought "yeah, that's what bebop is all about, that sums it up for me" but I've never thought that of any eva videos.

I've seen plenty good ones but none that really pinpoint the essence of the show. Maybe it's because that's such a hard thing to grasp due to the way the show changes towards the end. *shrugs*
Works the opposite for me AD, I haven't seen a single video that all in all, does Bebop justice but I've seen some eva videos that I thought were at least near-defintive.

I think making a "worst 5" list is rather distasteful. People may know it's not the best thing ever , they don't need a kick in the nuts... And besides that Justin's video was not bad I rather liked it, so...
