Someone more elitist than me. Congratulations. :D

Here's a cookie.

And all my vids fail your flowchart, I think.

Nope! Would you believe: your Kenny Loggins/"Danger Zone" project done to 801 TTS Airbats made it through the maze for a '4.'

By the way, I really like your sig line with the 'coke' and 'lime' - reminds me of THIS painting, and of my late mom who grew up in a mining town where piles of slag and tailings glowed by night:

If you're confused, I'm talking about THAT OTHER kind of 'coke'

and THAT OTHER kind of 'lime'

which together are -THE- combo for smelting ores to purify metals.
(Refers back to the painting -
Philippe Jacques de Loutherbourg, 1801, btw.)

Meanwhile, here are a few other recent d/l's that
I have given HIGH marks:

All pretty much squeaky-clean, and top-notch fun/sentimental/parody in their respective goals.

IMHO and YMMV, of course.

While I'm going to pass on the opinion, I commend you for making a rather original (although complex) opinion. The main reason I'm passing on opinions is because I'm working on another, and would rather wait and get feedback on that when it's done, but I am curious. I ran through the chart myself, and my two either barely fail (depending on whether the org's violence standards are your violence standards) or are right around 3's.

I'm curious as to what you would rate them, especially TCBT (see sig). The Berserk one, well, it's Berserk. Its violent. so if you would, I'd appreciate a star rating only on TCBT, and if you don't want to, still nice idea.
AMVs that I have made:
Berserk - The Fight Must Go On - Drama, Action, Violent, Story
Teenage Cowboy Bebop Turtles(TCBT) - Fun, Trailer, Parody

I'm d/l-ing your two now. Remember, an OPP is different from a star rating, and I often give out good opp scores (1-10) when I see effort or technical mastery, even if I don't personally like the work enough to say, keep and burn off a copy for myself. So I can hand out 8+'es on the OPP while rating the work 2 or 3 stars if for example, it's a perfectly well-done AMS romance/drama work. Yes the timing is great, video is sharp, sound is clear (9, 9, 9, etc) but AMS/Drama is just not my THANG, (overused concept, ho-hum, zzzzzzz.....) so I'd mark it with lower stars.

Now 'violence' could require a complex flowchart all its own - what I meant was GRATUITOUS violence or excessively gory GROSS stuff. Blood all over the castle walls & floors, with flashing swords and great footwork can be cool - or if it's a traditional Japanese setting, let's see some specifically Japanese moves, and try to identify the schools or dial-in the historical period, etc. All that can be cool.

It's not rational, but I wasn't fazed by somebody getting his arm snicked off at the ko-te in Mononoke,** but sticking a screwdriver in somebody's eye, or some alien critter SLOWLY chewing into an abdomen to eat out a spleen - well, no thanks. But it's hard to draw the line.

Anyways, I should have your opps up in a week or two.

** I haven't seen, and will not see Mononoke. I am firmly part of the Industrial Revolution instead.

No, I know that. I'm curious what you'd give it as a star rating. Re: Berserk, its very violent, with people getting chopped in two and the main character losing quite a bit of blood himself. That's not to say that the violence is the focus of it, it's a character profile. I realize that you may not see this before you watch them, but just pm me the star ratings
