And there's the reason I've liked this year ;)

Otohiko's and Janzki's work this year have put them both on my auto-download list. I think that it's probably more due to it being harder to find good stuff than it being scarcer.
I'm still waiting for peter's new video, it's suppose to be something special.
When the hell did I tell you that? Now you're going to kill it with over-hype. :cry:

If and when I ever actually finish it...

Argh. I'm a moron.

Toushi, Extraordinary World, EvaBebop, Olin, Naruto's USA, a TON of stuff from Steakslim (who is *the* action video editor, IMO). I could keep going but I think this is a sufficient list.

I personally found Extraordinary World to be kind of um...dull. Certainly not as good as some of the stuff you've done in the past. But that's just my personal opinion, the editing itself is alright.

However, this year I think there is a legitimate slump in the amount of quality videos and the quality of those "quality videos". None of the old schoolers have really made anything and a few seem to be fading away, like Ermac and Aluminum. AD's fulltime job is running the site so I doubt if he can make anything that frequently. There is a flood of terrible videos (but that has always been the case), and the general tastes of the public seem to be effects effects effects and less editing, which is incredibly discouraging (thats an understatment).

Is this just me? I've only seen about 5 videos this year that I like and 3 of those are from Fluxmeister so that shouldn't even really count. What happend? Where are the action videos? Where are the story videos? Where are the character profiles? A HUGE majority of the videos coming out today are exclusively drama/romance. Where is the new blood?

Is everyone working on their opus video for AWA? Is that why we haven't had a good video here in months? I want to hear from all you editors. Why has everyone just stopped all of a sudden :down:
possibly because of motivation? ive had no motivation at all...and i am considering just stopping amvs all together...

I haven't paid much attention to AMVs lately, but I know I'm in a personal slump...just don't have time to edit or even thinking about editing nowadays (nevermind the fact that I just finished an AWA Pro video about 3 days ago :P).

Things should be picking up again soon, though...hopefully :?
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

Lol, now that you revealed his secret I better start hyping it too. Even though I prolly won't be able to watch it when it's done.
