SSGWNBTD assures me that AMV Hell 6 is just about complete.
It is currently scheduled to debut at Anime Weekend Atlanta on Friday September 28, at 7pm.
For anyone who may be attending, there will also be an AMV Hell-themed Iron Editor match between me and SSGWNBTD on Saturday at 6pm, so be sure to come see that too.
Once AMV Hell 6 has premiered, there might be a few more tweaks made before finalizing it, and then a final version will be posted online right here. So we are probably looking for an early October release online.

Actually make that mid/late October.

I would seriously consider that if I had a credit card on me. In my opinion, AMV Hell 6 not being as good as some of the earlier AMV Hell movies is a given, so I'd rather the conditions be "slightly better than AMV Hell 5 or Worse than AMV Hell 5" instead of just "good or ****."

Considering the quality of recent mini's AND the horrible quality of most of the rejected clips, I'm leaning towards "worse" although I can definetly be proven wrong by the time it comes out.

What do the rejects have to do with anything? Proof of how small the choice pool is, thus showing the desperation of the judging process?

I'm sure we can eventually coax you into a higher bet. Besides, even if it's better than AMV Hell 5, you can lie and say you hate this one to win your bet.

I doubt a live stream of the iron editor will be possible. In any case, its probably not something that would be very interesting to watch over a live stream. You would just be staring at 2 people edit video for a couple of hours, while an audience watches videos and answers trivia to distract them from the boringness of watching 2 people edit video for a couple of hours.

I would've thought that both of your editing sessions would be up on a screen for everyone to see, which would be interesting to watch imo.

Zarxrax

Ok, back from the convention.

There was a glitch in the encode that caused some of the transitions to end up out of sync (the final encode was finished the DAY OF the showing, so there was no time to preview it on the convention computers), but this thankfully didn't effect most of the actual clips.
Aside from that the showing went fairly well. Some mixed reactions on whether or not it was better than 5. Some people say yes, some say no. So if you probably expect something about as good as 5 was, you probably wont be disappointed.

As for posting it online, SSG want's to redo the ending and make some changes to the opening. And there will probably be some clips cut out of the final version (the one we showed ran about 1 hour 22 minutes total).
We will try to post up a "deleted scenes" video for everything that gets cut from this point. It will probably be at least a week before it gets posted online.


The iron editor also went really well.
I won it. We both had some pretty funny videos though and the audience enjoyed them both.
That will be getting posted up as soon as I get ahold of it.

Can someone explain what was "wrong" with AMV 5? Besides having less dirtier-type jokes

I really liked it

The best way I would explain it in my honest opinion is by example.

Say i showed AMV Hell 4 at a party. It would go over well due to it having the overall appeal of universal jokes that a wide audience WOULD NOT have to be anime fans in the first place to get. There is something there for everyone to laugh at.

Now look back at AMV Hell 5...By a rather large margin, its jokes are not universal and the ones that are, are too few. The jokes the anime fans would only get wouldn't make them laugh either as the comedy in itself would come off "cheap" to them...Especially if they had to explain to a non anime fan who is watching with them.

It comes down to this...If you showed 5 at a party/get together, what you say would be the odds everyone watching would laugh at most if not half of it?

SilentChaz
10-01-2012, 07:23 AM
The showing went fairly well. Some mixed reactions on whether or not it was better than 5. I’m interested- could you please describe the audience who watched it?
Was this mostly a room full of casuals with little AMV hell exposure, or regulars who’re familiar with the Hell series? And for that matter- what was their opinion of Hell 5 anyway?


Some people say yes, some say no. Did you ask for a show of hands after the screening, or something? :p
Seriously though- how many people outright stated their dis/approval?

I really liked itBefore this goes full-tangent, maybe we should continue this discussion in another thread (http://www.amvhell.com/showthread.php?2693-What-was-AMV-Hell-5-like/page1)?
For now though, Fluff, I’ll just say that you’re not alone. Seems that the Hell 5 haters are just louder than the lovers here.

I took the Ass & Titties HOTD video out of the convention version because of censorship concerns. I might put it back in as the first video for the online version. I feel like the first video should be a random boob-centric anime with over the top metal. No one sent in a video like that, so I just sped up Zarxrax's 58008 video and set it to a weird, fast guitar solo. No one could sing along to the credits even with gigantic subtitles, which was meta-funny but not funny for people watching it. It's hard to top Country Roads remixed and Welcome to the Black Parade. The cuts in the credits are too fast and the song too short for the text of the credit roll to be legible.

The reaction to the videos overall was good. There are a few videos that drag down the comedic tempo of the project. Everything that was cut will end up in a deleted scenes that will be included in the torrent release.

The glitch on playback was interesting. Where the AVISynth scripts had appended the transition clip and next video, there was a close-to-50% chance of the video skipping the last second of audio and playing the corresponding section of video at 10x speed. This audio drop and speed-up doesn't happen when I play it back on my computers. Maybe there are corrupted audio chunks or video frames that their decoding software didn't know how to deal with. Either of those kinds of errors should have been sanitized when the project went from [UT Video and PCM wave] to [H.264 and AAC] but apparently not. I'll make a sync test for the convention version, with spliced together sync loops followed by a warning that if those loops didn't play right, you need to use different playback software. It needs some audio for convention staff to check before the trailer plays. Missing the first few seconds of the trailer audio messes up the joke a little. The online distro version could also use a "It's starting!" screen with some audio, so people can fiddle with their volume settings.

UPDATE: Unconfirmed reports of the VAT not having Haali Media Splitter installed. Seriously, you guys. SRSLY. It's 2012, H.264 is the standard in video now.

Sad to hear that the credits weren't as EPIC as the others were. To tell the truth my favorite part of the AMV Hells were the credits (and I don't mean that in a demeaning insulting way). I love how you take all the videos from other creators and then combine them all to make one EPIC AMV. Maybe you can start with a new credits video, one with longer cuts and a longer song. Maybe you should make a thread: Help Pick the Credits Song for AMV Hell 6.

letting us pick a new credit song is an interesting idea but I don't think it needs a thread upon to it's self it could probably either be intergrated in to this thread or put in the pick an intro for AMV HELL 6 thread.

I still think the foo fighters - these days (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=2bCL6J9otjU) song would make for a great ending credits song.... it's 5 minutes long, has a mix of slow parts and fast loud parts, has tons of lines about destruction, death, grief, etc..... but it still upbeat! I mean, it's foo fighters!

Ok, back from the convention.

There was a glitch in the encode that caused some of the transitions to end up out of sync (the final encode was finished the DAY OF the showing, so there was no time to preview it on the convention computers), but this thankfully didn't effect most of the actual clips.
Aside from that the showing went fairly well. Some mixed reactions on whether or not it was better than 5. Some people say yes, some say no. So if you probably expect something about as good as 5 was, you probably wont be disappointed.

As for posting it online, SSG want's to redo the ending and make some changes to the opening. And there will probably be some clips cut out of the final version (the one we showed ran about 1 hour 22 minutes total).
We will try to post up a "deleted scenes" video for everything that gets cut from this point. It will probably be at least a week before it gets posted online.


The iron editor also went really well.
I won it. We both had some pretty funny videos though and the audience enjoyed them both.
That will be getting posted up as soon as I get ahold of it.

to be honest, im more looking forward to the iron edition amvs then 6

I'm glad to hear that the preview screening went ahead with only minor hitches. Don't be too worried about the naysayers, Zarxrax and SSGWNBTD - they do have a tendency to hang around. I remember that people complained about long skits and Family Guy in Minis Season One, but when you banned Family Guy and had your quickfire round opening the second season, instead there was whinging about the rapid pace! One thing that I've learned in my current work is that some people just like to moan and are only happy when they're angry.

Moving onto future developments, I'm a little hesitant about cutting content. A "deleted scenes" video is a good compromise but when you're watching the downloaded video casually, and may be viewing the feature in scattered segments anyway as you go out, put the kettle on or otherwise get called away, tempo is not really an issue - and part of the beauty of AMV HELL anyway is that even if one skit fails to sound off you, another one's coming along presently, and for that situation volume of skits is important. To that end, I'd think that for this sort of video more is, well, more.

In any case, I'm looking forward to the downloadable version. Thank you both for all of your hard work on this and all previous videos, they have given us a lot of pressure over the years.

I actually find some of these arguments against them to be pretty justified. SSG's off-color actions and lack of communication with those who sent in videos sort of raised a red flag to some, regarding his trustworthiness. Funny story: A while back, I sent in a clip to him for AMV Hell 6 and I magically got a notice from him that it was rejected. I was shocked to finally hear something from him after weeks of waiting. Later, I sent the same clip into Minis. After waiting a while on that, Zarx rejected it on the grounds that it was already in AMV Hell 6. In short, either SSG can't keep track of what he's accepted and rejected, or his communication skills are worse than an alcoholic's during Mardi Gras. Letting an unstable person such as him get hold of this project was an accident waiting to happen, much like giving an insane man the authority to pilot a plane. Of course, it's not like they even really listen to any of this stuff us "naysayers" are saying for more than a minute, so I don't know why I even bother.



In any case, I'm looking forward to the downloadable version. Thank you both for all of your hard work on this and all previous videos, they have given us a lot of pressure over the years.
Hard work? They put less effort into each one, by succession. After AMV Hell 4, they started putting a lot less effort into these things. It's even more apparent in Minis. It appears as if they're not doing this for the fans anymore. It's all just to stay relevant in the AMV community.

Hell I remember when this stuff was better but yeah SSG does seem a little mental at times and I sometimes wonder how much time Zarx actually spends on here. The whole thing with the hell series is crazy because Zarx and SSG are supposed to be in charge. Also I know Zarx has released some vids of his own on occasion but I can't remember anything SSG has done that isn't a collab or hell.

Did I miss the secret forum rule that everybody has to play opposites? Will I look like a noob if I genuinely say I like every AMV hell I've seen and adore 3-5?
Even if I didn't like them, I could only be so critical about free entertainment. I mean, the release can only be as good as the submissions they get. From what I've seen, they do a good job of picking the best from the bunch.
Is that it? Is the constant negativity all from people burned by the fact that their crummy video didn't get in, so they've dedicated their life to trolling the forums?

This is why I don't talk much on forums. I can't help but feed the trolls.

But I would at least like to say that I very much look forward to AMV Hell 6.
3 was good, a little awkward in spots and slow in the middle, 4 and 5 were great, despite the fact that I didn't know a good portion of the clips.
But that's one of my favourite parts is finding new songs and series to watch because I've seen them on AMV hell.

there is no such rule people have different opinion, its the internet. you seem to be blind for the negativity reasoning, since we barely have any editors here who type in the forum. the fact how we see minis quality [the video input] and ssg acting like a lunatic [not a mad genius , just a lunatic] doesnt bring any confidence.

No, not really.

Even if I didn't like them, I could only be so critical about free entertainment.
When you spend enough time on the internet, your standards for free entertainment go up a lot. Ever been to AMV.org? Compared to some of their antics, this is nothing.

I mean, the release can only be as good as the submissions they get. From what I've seen, they do a good job of picking the best from the bunch.
Based on the poor quality I've seen from some, I'd be quite disheartened if these were the best. I sometimes think they sacrifice quality for quantity and pack as much stuff they can into an episode of Minis or a Hell movie just to wow people with length.

Is that it? Is the constant negativity all from people burned by the fact that their crummy video didn't get in, so they've dedicated their life to trolling the forums?
Most of the people here complaining don't even make videos. If anything, I'm more bothered when a video of mine gets in. I love criticism and hate the lowered bar seen around the internet, so when I submit a mediocre video and it still gets in, I think "What's the point? Why should I even try?" So, it's more out of "love" than spite, for me. That's really regarding Minis, though. As for Hell, I've never actually submitted anything until 6 and I just think SSG is going about this very unprofessionally.


This is why I don't talk much on forums. I can't help but feed the trolls.
Where are these trolls? You mean the people giving differing opinions?

If you think this is just mindless trolling then you sir are terribly misinformed.

- AMV Hell has sold out to the lowest common denominator and aside from the fact that i ****ing hate all math, it's the best way to put it as it now pushes any hint of clever comedy out of the way in favor of meme jokes no matter how many times WE TOOK IT, AND THREW IT ON THE GRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNDDDDD! And yes, i think it's a joke.

- If you think we're just ass hurt from getting clips rejected then again, you sir are VERY misinformed. I'm one of the most frequent contributors and I'm likely to criticize the reason they were rejected rather than it being rejected at all. In the latter case, i tend to just STFU as i don't really take the judging seriously anyway, but as far as the former, that lies in how i view the judging system as over all flawed but that ship sailed and the captain chose to go down with the ship knowing damn well it wasn't sea worthy before the voyage...He just made his mates go down with him in this case.

- If you enjoy it all fine. I'm not here to ruin your fun. However, i don't know about others here but I'm here to speak my mind as there is a difference between "Hating" and criticism.

- 4 and 5 were great, despite the fact that I didn't know a good portion of the clips.

I think we call that "Denial" bro...And since comedy should never go over your head THAT much...See what i'm getting at?

- If i still come off as a troll to you then i aim to please so #Troll!

Haar has sufficiently addressed all my points. I do value differences of opinion, but as a newbie to the site it's hard to see why people are even on the forum if they're just going to complain. I'd be more interested in hearing constructive criticisms, but then there's not that much point if none of the editors hang out here. So Touche.
Though, don't mistake me for a noob to the internet. I've been around a while.
As someone who is heavily involved in producing free entertainment, my standards for criticism go up, and it's always nice too hear from people who do like what they see, so I wanted to show my appreciation with some harsh positivity in contrast to all the negativity.

N.P.C.C. you completely invalidated your argument by saying I'm in denial of how bad 4 and 5 were, especially when saying I should accept that people have different opinions than me. I get what you're saying with the meme jokes. Our latest project has quite a few worked into it, and due to a deadline we had to meet, the preview makes it look like that's all there is to it. Which kinda blows.

I didn't know what some of the clips were from. It's easy to tell if they do or don't go with the sound clip. Sorry if I failed to specify. Most of the sound clips I knew, but the ones that I didn't know made enough sense. The fact that I could enjoy it without having seen every anime in creation whether or not it's relevant to my interests just goes to show that it was done in a way that a general audience can get.

That's more like it...I see no reason to attack such a mindset. However, just understand i think differently in regards to that. The key word in your post was "Most" and any comedian worth their soul knows to keep jokes universal for the most part. I realize avoiding this 100% is pretty much impossible given how people can take jokes individually but fact remains i don't like the current ratio with priority at what is favored now a days.

The trick is to balance these jokes out and i think they failed in that regard...meme spamming aside.

'Most' was a miss-type. There were a lot I didn't know, but either way I think my previous comments point out why that's irrelevant.
It's funny if I know the sound clip and it goes with the video clip. It's funny if I know the video clip and it goes with the sound clip. It's funny when I know both intimately and they really go well together.
It's even funny if I don't know either. Sometimes it's funny enough knowing that this sound clip did not originally go with this video clip. Those are some of the funniest to me.
But I still don't see how the earlier ones differ so much from the later ones.

From my perspective, the song video combinations have not been working in a meaningful way enough. Too many "go over your head" jokes and that's despite me being no stranger to anime. I notice how blatant it is when i've watched a few series, go back and watch 4 or 5 and notice the joke for an anime was like that. But, i won't discount you possibly seeing things another way.

I know "most" was a mistype. Just explaining why that caused my comment.

Now, the quality of AMV Hell may have gone downhill in the last two installments, but I still laugh when I watch them (Case in point: AMV Hell 5's "Panties! Glorious Panties!"segment). Now, if you want this stuff to be of the best quality, try your hardest. And If you're already trying your hardest, keep trying and get better. I agree with MoonRabbit that inside jokes can be funny, and that entertainment is still entertainment. So, guys, revel in SSG's insanity and keep faith, because things evolve (Yes... Darwin) and they don't always go the direction we think. Hope that AMV Hell 6 makes you laugh, cuz that's all we have these for.

I call shenanigans on that claim. HeyHeyHeyStayOuttaMyShed is a female and she talks to us more often than not. Now, how exactly is this relevant? Plenty of **** talking on AMV.org and there are plenty of females there. Women like starting arguments and bickering over silly things just like men.

Third problem: Projects. Now, the quality of AMV Hell may have gone downhill in the last two installments, but I still laugh when I watch them
I find some clips funny as well, but the good to bad ratio has certainly gotten worse and it's a lot harder to be in the mood for comedy when you're tired of wading through mediocrity. It's like trying to find anime to watch. Roughly 90% of it is bad, in my opinion, so it gets very disheartening looking for new series.

Now, if you want this stuff to be of the best quality, try your hardest. And If you're already trying your hardest, keep trying and get better.
And there lies the issue: a lot of the people submitting are little kids with Windows Movie Maker that don't know anything about video editing or retards with Windows Movie Maker that refuse to read the clearly posted guides. They don't improve and can't take criticism and are part of the cancer killing AMVs. (http://theangryotaku.blogspot.com/2011/07/video-killed-video-star-anime-music.html) Not only that, but when some of us try to make clever humor, it's forsaken in favor of simpler humor that any stupid kid on Youtube would laugh at.

I agree with MoonRabbit that inside jokes can be funny, and that entertainment is still entertainment.
Sure, they canbe funny, but seldom are.


So, guys, revel in SSG's insanity and keep faith, because things evolve (Yes... Darwin) and they don't always go the direction we think. Hope that AMV Hell 6 makes you laugh, cuz that's all we have these for.

At least, there shouldn't be. Also, what is your definition of crap? Opinions differing from the ones you want to hear?

You've got some interesting standards there. Next you're going to tell me that you pay attention to porn plots and watch fanservice anime for the character development.

It's not like they care. As I've said, we're all adults and words shouldn't hurt us. If some guy calling another guy an autistic son of a whore on the internet truly bothers him, then maybe he's onto something. And it's not like Zarx hasn't even admitted he's let quality drop.

I never imagined him having a high enough Midi-chlorian count to successfully manage such a feat, but I'll take your word for it. Maybe there's some loophole that's only brought up in Knights of the Old Republic that explains it. I should really be playing that right now instead of posting on some forum no one cares about.

The communication was ****, its a fact - I mean, AMV Hell 6 Final Fantasy ? Wtf ? AMV Hell 6 End of the World ? Wtf ? AMV Hell with a thematic ? Wtf ? A release date out of nowhere ? Wtf ?

But in the end, if the result is good, I will not care about how it was done. I will just enjoy the complete thing and that's all. AMV Hell 5 was good - the main problem was some bad AMV like the Kimbo Slice one - too long, not funny, not technically really good, a real pain in the ass. But in the end, it was really enjoyable - and that doesn't mean I am a weaboo or someone who doesn't know a thing about AMV Hell. Obviously, it was not as good as the AMV Hell 4 but, well, we talk about a masterpiece right here.

Honestly, I am waiting AMV Enfer 2 a lot more than AMV Hell 6 but, hey, I'm curious about it anyway. If this is worse than AMV Hell 5, I will be disappointed but not sad or angry, and I will move on because that's what real men does. I just don't really care.

I see what you're saying, but I just expected so much more from Zarx. I mean, he used to actually be quite professional with this and it's all just gone out the window, now. Given how verbose he used to be when he wrote those guides, I figured he'd continue to act the same, given how difficult it is to leave that mentality. I mean, sure, he's not over AMV Hell 6, but he definitely had to follow along with SSG's nonsense. If you need an example of Zarx completely changing, just look at the Minis. Any give episode of Season 2, really. The more recent ones in particular.


l. AMV Hell 5 was good - the main problem was some bad AMV like the Kimbo Slice one - too long, not funny, not technically really good, a real pain in the ass.

Perhaps my phrasing and generalizations, were a bit too harsh. I didn't think anyone would actually take offense from something said by a person like me, but I digress. I'm not even going to bother delving into the opinions on AMV Hell 5 yet again. Not too much, anyway. I see you like it and that's your opinion. I get it. But let's think about this for a second. Who was really being targeted with that one? Most likely some kids that will laugh at any song set to any anime. When it gets that easy to impress people, what's the point?

Honestly, I am waiting AMV Enfer 2 a lot more than AMV Hell 6 but, hey, I'm curious about it anyway. If this is worse than AMV Hell 5, I will be disappointed but not sad or angry, and I will move on because that's what real men does. I just don't really care.
Real men? On the internet? Watching AMVs? Those are few and far between, but I'll take your word for it. Also, I won't be sad or angry either. Just disappointed. Maybe a little spiteful for a while, but that's about it.

APS: What are the best alternatives to AMV Hell, anyway ?

How the **** did that slip through the cracks? It's kinda hard to miss unless you're the LCD. Keep in mind that we now know there has been a case of him letting a clip in he claimed in a email notice was rejected. Given this info, i feel it is quite safe to assume 6 is ****ed...

You're just here out of bitter rage or you enjoy crushing the people who worked hard on the projects soul and ego...

Zarx and SSG probably have spent a lot of their real life time and effort over this over the years. Why not at least respect that rather than pee in their apple juice. Eventually the cup will run over and all you'll have left is the urine no apple juice remaining. If you say provided positive criticisms and talked to them as friends and showed them respect odds are the quality will be higher. But I know personally the reason I've never submitted one of my amv's is because of how nasty the forum members are here.

1. That is a piss poor analogy for reasons I hope I won't even have to explain to you.
2. I still enjoy AMV Hell and the Minis. Just not as much as I used to. If anything, I consider the judging and pre-releases to be the time where the most lulz occur. I mean, we get posts like yours and judges complaining about clips sent in by the editors, requesting silly edits.


You guys want your cake but you want to bitch that it will taste awful and that the bakers are drug addicts. Then greedily gobble it down. Then say yeah it was terrible. Regardless of how you feel.
This is the internet. People are always going to say retarded stuff. And if AMV Hell 6 is actually good, then I'll acknowledge it as such. I don't know where you're getting this theory that we're going to say we dislike it without even giving it a chance. If I really wasn't looking forward to the release at all, I wouldn't be here.

So what you're saying is that you can't take **** talking. And if you think we're bad, go to AMV.org and see what happens. They'll chew you up and spit you out for one retarded reason or another and think nothing of it. Sometimes, we've got to "man up" and accept that not everyone is going to like us.

When I say "fancy" I mean anything using more than a static, linear transition. Those TV transitions they always use, for instance. Mattroks101 was responsible transitions in Paradise, and him alone. In my videos, AMV Destrucity, at least, I just use a regular TV channel switch transition. I'm assuming he used the quick cuts due to the fact that longer ones would just grind out clock even further. Besides, I didn't have to pause the video to read that transition text that often.

I get what you're saying, actually. I view the relationship of Zarx and SSG like the relationship between Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman in that movie Rain Man. That is to say, I'm assuming that SSG will talk normally to Zarx and only Zarx. There has to be some reason that Zarx is trusting SSG with this project, and I assume he views SSG as trustworthy. Now, if SSG himself had come here to tell all of us a release date, I wouldn't believe it at all. I think Zarx is wary of the sort of things his friend does on here.

That's why I was sure to read and take to heart the AMV.org guide on quality.

Particularly referring to some of my old work with that one.

1: Why did it look tact'd on even going over the kanji?
2: Why not edit English text in? Obviously that would look out of place if that was the true intention. It looks fugly as is.

The Bleach anime uses a Roman alphabet for the name with Japanese credits, lots of anime does this. Assuming Super Ichigo is supposed to be an anime and not some american show, why would it need english credits? Also english text would have a similar problem as the transition text; what do you put there to make it look like background/ unimportant text. To most of us Japanese is unintelligible, thus it doesn't jump out at us and is ideal for credits text that's supposed to blend in with the background. If he put his name then people might think he's some stupid attention whore trying to advertise. If he put some random name/words people wouldn't know if it was supposed to be part of the joke or not and feeling left out of the joke makes it less funny for some people. He went through the trouble of writing Super Ichigo in english and with a similar font to the original, so I assume it was intentional.
Benefit of the doubt view: he though it was best to leave original credits as an elegant solution for all the aforementioned reasons, or for authenticity or something else.

Because the Japanese love shoe-horning English into practically everything. Lots of shows use English even in their credits.

You fake it. Put some names related to Superman in there.

So what about leaving Japanese subtitles in? Is that still a no no?

If he put his name then people might think he's some stupid attention whore trying to advertise. If he put some random name/words people wouldn't know if it was supposed to be part of the joke or not and feeling left out of the joke makes it less funny for some people.
A simple quip along the lines of "brought to you by the makers of Naruto Man: Gotham Knight" could have sufficed.

I don't think it looks so bad, maybe I'm the only one? "\(0.o)/"

I'm not a very good judge of "quality" as I started watching this anime **** via streams, so there's nothing in the hell series that's worse looking than what I'm used to. For the longest time I thought anime was supposed to look janky, and have barely indistinct, fuzzy blobs of color that run into each other. With such humble beginnings, picture quality has never been salient to me. When I switched to torrents I was like, "holy ****! it's so pretty" and now I can't go back. Maybe soon I'll be at the point where I'll let low quality influence my opinion on a clip, I'm starting to notice things like that, but my first an lasting impression of the Hells is that that they are above par for the course (even though they might not be, I just don't know any better). Forgive me if I come off like a casualfag but that's probably not too far off the mark, so I won't impart too much judgement on what looks good and what doesn't, it's not my forte.

I would leave Jap subs in if it were part of the clip: a J-pop song playing in the background that's important, but the viewers aren't supposed to understand/ a conversation that someone in the clip isn't suppose to understand etc. If there just there for no good reason it's distracting. Leaving the credits in is fine here because it makes these fake credits look like credits, they don't distract from the thing because the are the thing. "brought to you by the makers of Naruto Man: Gotham Knight" I Lol'd. It would be good here, especially as this clip doesn't really have a punchline it's more of a "doesn't Bleach remind you of Superman!?" Maybe the creator wanted to play it safe; if the joke was a dud, the whole clip is a dud (I think it's kind of a dud without a joke anyway and it would benefit from the joke but that's besides the point), I do think hell could use less "safe" clips and more clips with the potential to wow. All i'm trying to say is that just because Zarx's guide says that subtitles are generally bad and to take them out, doesn't mean that subtitles/text can't be used artfully, which I believe is the case here.

Maybe soon I'll be at the point where I'll let low quality influence my opinion on a clip, I'm starting to notice things like that, but my first an lasting impression of the Hells is that that they are above par for the course (even though they might not be, I just don't know any better). Forgive me if I come off like a casualfag but that's probably not too far off the mark, so I won't impart too much judgement on what looks good and what doesn't, it's not my forte.

I would leave Jap subs in if it were part of the clip: a J-pop song playing in the background that's important, but the viewers aren't supposed to understand/ a conversation that someone in the clip isn't suppose to understand etc. If there just there for no good reason it's distracting. Leaving the credits in is fine here because it makes these fake credits look like credits, they don't distract from the thing because the are the thing. "brought to you by the makers of Naruto Man: Gotham Knight" I Lol'd. It would be good here, especially as this clip doesn't really have a punchline it's more of a "doesn't Bleach remind you of Superman!?" Maybe the creator wanted to play it safe; if the joke was a dud, the whole clip is a dud (I think it's kind of a dud without a joke anyway and it would benefit from the joke but that's besides the point), I do think hell could use less "safe" clips and more clips with the potential to wow. All i'm trying to say is that just because Zarx's guide says that subtitles are generally bad and to take them out, doesn't mean that subtitles/text can't be used artfully, which I believe is the case here.

1: It's not just Zarx's guide. Even when i was using windows **** maker in my first year of editing i had enough sense not to do that ****.


2:Yes, there are cases where the text/subs from the anime can be used to add to the joke but as YOU see it as one of those cases, i do not. Again, that could have easily been cut as it hardly makes a difference as the clip would be just as much of a dud without it.


3: Again, just the **** being there should have DQ'd it from 5 on previous mentioned grounds.

4: It looks fugly

5: It looks fugly

6: It looks fugly

7: See next number


8: IT LOOKS ****ING UGLY!

I don't think it looks so bad, maybe I'm the only one? "\(0.o)/"
Probably not.


I'm not a very good judge of "quality" as I started watching this anime **** via streams, so there's nothing in the hell series that's worse looking than what I'm used to.
I started watching anime on television and VHS, then very briefly watched streamed crap. Once I started editing AMVs, I naturally started using torrents, DDLs, and DVDs. Now, while the Hell series might be up for debate in the quality department, some of the clips in Minis have had "ass raped with the giant, spiked, titanium dildo of death with the force of Genesic GaoGaiGar's Goldion Crusher while Frantic Disembowelment by Cannibal Corpse was playing in the background" quality that I could definitely tell was worse than any stream I watched. That is to say, it looked as if someone had purposely run the video through Windows Movie Maker 5 times.

I could tell the difference as soon as I started editing AMVs. As soon as I see a clip with low quality, I think "There's no excuse anymore. None at all. It's 2012 and you can find whatever ****ty weeaboo show you want to use for your Linkin Park AMV, kid. Footage looking this bad is obviously downloaded, so you should have no moral dilemma torrenting Sony Vegas, along with some better looking episodes of Naruto" And no, you don't really sound like a casualfag. After all, you're using complete sentences and are presenting your argument in a logical fashion with limited use of emoticons.

I see what you're saying, but given the big show Zarx (http://www.amvhell.com/showthread.php?168-Guide-to-making-your-AMV-Hell-4-entries-not-suck&p=701#post701) and AMV.org users put on (or in the case of Zarx/Minis, "used" to put on) about this sort of thing in general has pumped fear and paranoia into my mind, resulting in instant bias. I know SSG was over that one and not Zarx, but you know what I mean.

Zarx and SSG probably have spent a lot of their real life time and effort over this over the years. Why not at least respect that rather than pee in their apple juice.

Lulz Talk about being a total kiss-ass. I'm not saying this being the "scorned-ex-girlfriend", but, I will admit, Ssg did spend plenty of time on ANY of his workings/amv's/whatever. I'd say he's a perfectionist at most, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't know much about Zarx, so, I can't really throw in my two-cents.

All this whining about how probable AMV HELL 6 will be **** and bitching about a due-date is probably discouraging to both Zarx and Ssg. There are always two-sides to every coin fellas. All it requires is patience, and hope for the best. I am not a fan of AMV HELL, I've seen every single one, and found none of them funny. But that doesn't mean that others don't. Another factor is probably my previous relationship with Ssg making me not like it, who knows. I really do want to watch it, and enjoy it, and jump on the bandwagon with everyone else on this site. But sadly, I don't ever see that happening.

But yeah, give the guys a break. I know you're all very eager for a release. Remember that they're human too, and not robots. lol They have their own lives and not everything is centered around AMV HELL.

Just my two cents~!

They don't read half of this stuff. Thanks to the magic of crowd control, they can ignore multiple paragraphs and keep working. We do this all the time and they barely ever have anything to say. Well, Zarx at least. SSG is just SSG and we've said all that needs to be said about that.

My own personal opinion, I think both Ssg and Zarx should contribute more to the site and community. It's not fair to the community, and it's not right. But, we cannot make people who don't want to do something do it, you know? Some people are just either ignorant or oblivious. Now, when I said everything for them shouldn't be AMV HELL, i meant it, BUT! They BOTH should make an EFFORT to COMMUNICATE, especially Ssgwbtd.

Yeah, I know what you mean about not being able to force people into talking. That's why, at times, I think they should just let this thing die already. I mean, if you can't communicate with your userbase to make the project better, then where's the fun in even doing all of this?


Now, when I said everything for them shouldn't be AMV HELL, i meant it,
I agree there, actually. I have other things to keep me busy as well, despite it appearing as if I'm only here and on this site alone.

I'm not quite sure whats expected. I do read this thread and have been following it almost every day. I have said what needs to be said about AMV Hell 6. It is being worked on. I literally stopped working on it right now to write this post.
I don't post a lot on this site, that's true. I mostly ignore everything in the offtopic sections, though I try to read any relevant posts about amv hell or amv minis, and respond if it looks like something that needs to be responded to.
People probably haven't been told what clips are going in the project or not because that is not something that is decided ahead of time. The decisions are STILL being made.
This is pretty much the same pattern that has happened with every single AMV Hell release, and people who have been here for a while may recognize it. The project premieres at Anime Weekend Atlanta, we see the response to it, and then make some changes before finally releasing a better version online.

90% of the negative posting in this thread has been from 1 person. So no, it does not particularly bother me.
I will say that this is going to be a big release, and I think just about everyone will find something to enjoy. This is going to be more than just AMV Hell 6. Expect at least 4 things to be released simultaneously. It's gunna be big.

I'm looking forward to it. Especialy since your involvement seems to be much larger in this Hell.
I'm sure you two both work better as a team.

Hmmm surprises... AMV Hell 6, Iron Editor Battle Royal, Minis Episode 11 and... I'd be surprised if SSG actually completed the Video Game Project he had mentioned, but I guess its a possibility. Either way, sounds like a big day for the site.

EDIT: I forgot the Iron Editor will be two seperate videos. So I suppose VG Project 6 wouldn't be needed to complete the "4 releases". Well that's my prediction.

So who's idea was it to release AMV Hell 6 in HD, exactly? Isn't that really a waste of time, effort and disk space, for the most part?

Long time lurker here. There has been a lot of negativity in this thread lately about videoquality amongst other things. So the trend in this thread pluss the anticipation of the new AMV Hell made me finally sign up and post here.

I was fairly new to anime when I first discovered AMV Hell. I had seen less than 10 animes. I got pasted a link to AMV Hell 3 shortly after it was realesed on a gaming channel on IRC. It totally blew my mind. I watched that and AMV Hell 1&2 multiple times + shared them with friends because I found them to be so extremely awesome. I also started looking up animes and songs used in the clips. I have been loading up AMV Hell 1,2&3 at parties with some success too with IRL-friends that have never watched anime or have only seen Naruto etc. I later discovered AMV Hell 0 which provided epic lulz. I also shared this with my closest friends & girlfriend who all found it amusing as well. When AMV Hell 4 came around I watched it and found it very funny, same goes for AMV Hell 5. I have rewatched them both a few times and still enjoy them.

Now I will attempt to sumarize why I enjoyed and continue to enjoy these videos so much:
1: it was funny
2: it was creative
3: I recognized animes I had been watching
4: There were some really catchy tunes
5: It was very uncomplicated and easy to digest entertainment
6: There were some semi-controversial humor which I personally really enjoy. (I am a sucker for perverted jokes, racist-jokes etc)

So I guess what I am trying to say is: don't mind the haters and focus on these things which I believe you have proven that you are very capable of delivering. I personaly couldn't care less about the video-quality of a clip as long as it's catchy or funny. Don't be scared to use clips from mainstream animes. And most important (to me at least) don't exclude content because someone could argue it is abusive.

I am a huge fan of your work, specially the 3 first AMV Hells, but 4&5 were great too. Keep it up guys! I can't wait for number 6!

TL;DR: AMV Hells are awesome! AMV Hell 6 will be awesome! Cheer up!

Being uncomplicated and easy to digest led to its decline as niggas apparently thought that meant using windows movie maker at bad exports to show off their pandering meme jokes...I can't say i enjoy the sight of **** nor digesting it...So we're different you and i in that regard.


6: There were some semi-controversial humor which I personally really enjoy. (I am a sucker for perverted jokes, racist-jokes etc)

I'm probably the king of dark/perverted humor around here so we can agree there...By my standards that's PG though given what i've been exposed to following my introduction to 0...
