Titles that tell you NOTHING about the video

Ok I am not incapable of clicking a link and reading about the video through the description, but being human, I normally will choose to look at an amv largely based on the title.

So while browsing the recommended threads, I wander around, and encounter Princess Bride!

Holy friggin surprise !!

I was interested really because I like Kotoko, thought, why not.
Jumping jeeebers, I don't think I have seen this much flashy eye candy fan service in one place before

There's little immediate warning that this video is intentional fan service too hehe.

Hey, I LOVED this video, but, I never expected it to be essentially fan service intensive hehe.

I wish song titles were a bit more illustrative of content. I would imagine a lot of us viewers miss a lot of good videos just because we pass over them based on the title. Well at least I do.

easy, just add "Echoes of" as a pre-fix and the depth of the title will go up a notch

. any complete sentence should be descriptive; noun, verb, adjective. Just using a Name?

That's why only 1 editor should be naming videos.
Here's and example of his work

Grey delerium: Nostagic past

and having it a cheap LPZ video about nothing

titles should recreate the amv in ascii form.

one possible problem with trying to give your title qualifiers (like ultra-mega-effectsy video) is that it requires you judging your own video, which in some cases doesn't turn out well or at least must be taken with a grain of salt, like "greatest naruto video evar."

.. then how about a Limit to sentence size? In College, more than nine words failed student. ( English Lit.. 240 ) It would save space. It would be descriptive. You'd have to think about what your saying. And make not exceptions to the Rules!

-- UUugh! now I sound like my teachers >_<

There's always <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... 06">[i]OMG It's the best video ever made! How can anyone ever beat perfection like this? You should all bow down and worship me right now[/i]</a>. Although, if DWP is to be believed, the title isn't accurate. But it's DWP so it's safe to ignore him, this video is perfection.
