Well there are plenty of AMVs available for viewing on sites such as Youtube, Google video, etc...

Instead of browsing through them all,
why not make this easy and post the best & most original AMV you ever saw?
That is, to post a link to the video itself.

And note "original"... none of that amateur Linkin Park or Evanescence montage rubbish! :) So cliche.
I want the goooood stuff, yep, the best of the best! Classics included!

I'll post one of my faves if this thread ever takes off...

hmmmm... I think the most original one I saw was "Caffeine Encomium" by Kevin Cladwell on www.animemusicvideos.org

Absolutely superb AMV, using the classical song "William Tell Overture" and clips from "Child's Toy" (which looks hilarious! >.< ) Everyone should definately check it out.

ps, I don't think I can post a link coz to download the amv you need to be a member of www.animemusicvideos.org so the site will just redirect you. AMV fans should sign up to the site anyway coz it's got crap loads of great amv's.

a big thank you to k1ru for the sweet siggy.

I even searched it for you :D it's on www.animemusicvideos.org. It's a FLCL clip called shameless rock video by absolute destiny (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=8259 I hope). The beginning is a little dragged out but i loved it. It was hilarious and original, with great editing and effects. There's one bit specifically which had me drop on the floor laughing, i was laughing that hard. You'll know the bit when you see it.

Oh yeah! I have that one too! I absolutely love that vid. FLCL is one of my favourite random comedy animes and the song is so perfect. The guy who did it timed the whole thing really well

Date Rape by aielI_Ileia

"If you're not cheating, you're not trying!" - R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero (1967 - 2005)

The best one I ever saw was by my brother's friend Beghast. I put his AMV on my site. You should see it, it's REALLY amazing O_O

It's timed so perfectly, he has transition-things for every single beat.

Visit Rapunzel :D

Wooot! That "Caffeine Encomium" one was great, goes to show it's not all about vid quality. XD
The FLCL one was enjoyable, not to mention the editing job! Date Rape was also quite funny lol, and a bit disturbing.

As for the Rahxephon one, never seen the anime but he really did a number on that video; smooth fx! Good song too... For some reason I find electronica and classical/instrumental the most fitting for AMVs, but that's just me.

Now I wonder if anyone knows of this classic AMV, nothing fancy, from Golden Boy:
"Bicycle Race!" ...(Off youtube.com, seems to be slow as all hell though)
--One of my fave OAV scenes, with Blumchen sporting the happy hardcore for this fun ride! :pacman:

i wont post the links because you can hunt them down yourself if you'd like.

Bleach-Akegu

Definitely one of the BEST AMV's I've seen in a long time.

Two My-HiME music videos that any My-HiME fan should watch...NOW! XD

Sanity? I dont remember having such a useless thing in the first place!

These videos are all uber1337, especially Rainbow. I love that video so much...

Rainbow
Still Preoccupied With 1985
Disney's Evangelion (really funny if you've watched Evangelion)
Hale's Mom
Do It Right (Shake It!)
Elvis vs. Anime
Shounen Bushidou
Secret Waltz
And, of course, Euphoria

All of those videos should be safe for 13+, so don't worry too much ^_~

***Sing with your soul - soon you'll be old ***

These can be found on animemusicvideos.org

I really enjoyed the Rurouni Kenshin AMV with Madonna's Frozen. I thought it was extremely well done and the music choice fit perfectly with the editing.

I also really enjoyed the 08th MS Team AMV with Nightwish.

I have not seen any AMVs similar to these yet.

Do not interfere in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Euphoria and AMV with Rah xephon footage and music form frou frou "must be dreaming, that`s the best AMV I have watched so far.

But I wish I was a lesbian it`s pretty damn funny, original and really well done. If you haven`t go watch it now.

There are two AMVs that really stand out for me.

One is an AMV about Ryoga, from Ranma 1/2. It's to the song '500 Miles'. If you've watched Ranma 1/2, it fits the character perfectly. (The quality is old because the anime is old.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtpzAGPdyYs&search=ranma%20amv

There's also a Fruits Basket AMV, which shows several of the characters. It is to the Evanescence song, but believe me, it works. It was found by an MT member, Tasana, so really she gets the credit for finding this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6BBIG4s5ek

THe only really good one I've found with Kingdom Hearts 2 was one called "Broken Promise." Sadly, its one of the few good AMVs that I've seen. It can be found also on youtube.com.

Flask Pochette by Pianos

It's a rozen maiden AMV. Piano's video are great. [Well, for me that is]

You wouldn't betray me, right?

The Kid Rock/Trigun AMV is good......but the greatest and original one is Daft Punks' Interstellar 5555........

"In the absence of orders, find something and kill it" - Erwin Rommel

Silent_Rage by Alex_Aks, I believe the artist is called. This one is about a narrative song with Blood: The Last Vampire anime accompained it. Loved the singer/voice-r in the song, she really does have that sinsiter qualityto her tone, I honestly think she can be a VA.

Narutrix (A definte original!) A blend of the trailer Matrix with Naruto

Golden Eyes
by Kevin Caldwell (coincidentally), I really like how elements of anime goes with the 007 song!

罪人ã?®ç?«Ã(...) - Tsumibito no kashou
Tyler_yj (Yann J.)
This AMV has amazing effects plus a powerful tone to the video!

The Lord of the Yen
Dont remember the artist name, but really kawaii. It is basically the trilogy trailers (or audio clips..but not sure) of Lord of the Rings with the comedy anime Azumanga Daioh.

Voices from a Distant Star - White Flag (Dido)

Suteki Da Ne- FFX AMV
I dont believe this AMV has a title other than the title to the FFX song. But it is a really touching video to watch especially with the music. :)

The AMVs all can be found in http://www.animemusicvideos.org. I found Golden Eyes and Suteki Da Ne on KazaaLite and Voices form a Distant Star in a site i couldnt remember where...srry, and I believe Narutrix can be direct dlable.

Haha..well i pretty much think any good AMV is an original, after all you wouldnt think its good unless you think its special.

Two of my favorites, that are really unusual, would be "Euphoria" and "Engel." You can find um both on

www.animemusicvideos.org

Euphoria looks like it must have taken SO much time to make, and the song is great. Engel is really funny - Asuka Langley with a guy's growly voice: Pure genius.

My katana smells lemony fresh. How about YOURS?

AMV hell 3. hands down!

My favorites are:
Euphoria (Rahxephon)
Try (D.N.Angel)
Through time, through space (Voices of a Distant Star (Hoshi No Koe)
罪人の火傷 - Tsumibito no kashou (Full metal alchemist)
Shining Collection (Ah megamisama)
http://www.animemusicvideos.org.

A shinning future

this Cardcaptor Sakura one that I found recently is pure genius...seriously...it's pure genius. whoever pieced it together has some mad editing skills.

I don't care how girly people consider that anime, after watching that clip CCS has officially cemented a spot in my bad-ass anime list, and I will now watch every frickin episode from beginning to end including the movies, and embellish my room with CCS wall scrolls, etc etc.

besides that video, there is a Gunslinger Girl AMV I also stumbled across done to Sage Francis- Crack Pipes. first off, Sage Francis (the artist who did the song) himself saw the video and liked it, and when that happens, it can't go bad.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDCYhMeefhA

but i still say the CCS one wins.

I'm not sure how "original" this one is... another Sasuke and Itachi video, but it is hands down the best one I have ever seen:

http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=73628

As for truly original, I would have to agree with whoever said the AMV Hell series (especially AMV Hell 3). Man... wish I had thought of that XD

Genius of hard work, at your service.

One of my favorites is "Tainted Donuts" for Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. I really enjoyed the way author combined frames from both animes. Since I'm an AMV creator too, I know that it's very hard to combine the frames from different animes to make them look lively. Also the plot of AMV is really interesting and full of humour. You can check it at animemusicvideos.org - it's in the top ten, as I remember.

Well i have so many AMV..Heheheh..my favorite is from X 1999 with the song Vater Unser from E Nomine..is perfect!
Another one that i like a lot is from Rurouni Kenshin with the song Butterfly from DDR..and another one that is really done with a good work is from Princess Miyu with the song Bring me to Life from Evanescence..
