[Sir Fluffykins]

Awesome, will download for best possibly voting quality ;)

[Orandulum]

As much as I blame Laziness, Video 15 is probably one of the main reason I haven't gotten around to making a clip for the new Minis yet.

[LawRayLiet]

Damn, this is tough. If I'm going by what made me laugh the most then 15 wins by far, hilarious. But then again there are some really good ones that had good anime editing and a good bit of humor. Hmm... might have to give it another watch later(off my phone).

[mattroks101]

Wow. This one actually had a lot of really good clips in it. Voting is gonna be tough.

[Sir Fluffykins]

Okay, watched again, then voted

[Rotharn]

Noooooooooooo, i meant to vote for 15 but i ****ed up and hit 17, the ****tiest one!!!!

[Guthix]

after watching needed to pick one out of 2, not realy seeing a problem is deciding

[Outlaw]

13 is clearly the best one.

[N.P.C.C.]

Hmm...Not sure what to vote for...i'll have to think on this for little while.

[Kaiju]

Should I stoke Haar's ego and select the Duane Montage one or go with 15....tough call...

[SuperLoliSentai]

Should I stoke Haar's ego and select the Duane Montage one or go with 15....tough call...

He needs no more of that! He had amv hell 6.66!

[zeroharpuia]

I voted for number 3 because it was concise and funny. Plus the the Ellen feist joke was already worked to death.

[Amo]

13.

Because the rest is...

Erm...

...

... yeah...

[The Real Inferno]

hmmm

[VasSerMan7]

I voted for dubstep, mosquito is the second

[LawRayLiet]

It was a toss up for me between 9, 15 & 16. Even though I think 9 was the best all around(and I've always liked the mosquito skit)... I'm going with 15, it made me laugh in a way I didn't expect(and more than once).

[SplitReality]

Between 15 and 16, went with 15.

[Akyho]

Zarx.....number 10 has a TBS watermark top right corner....I cant....no.....just...nah...cant accept it.

Everything after 10 interested me but.....I think...number 15 as I got it and enjoyed it more on my first viewing while the others didn't get me as much.

[N.P.C.C.]

Zarx.....number 10 has a TBS watermark top right corner....I cant....no.....just...nah...cant accept it.

Welcome to hell my friend.

[SarcotarascusN]

Is the intention to put the winners of each round into the new season of minis, or is this the new season of minis, effectively?

I did read the instructions, yes, but I wasn't sure about the ultimate goal.

[SuperLoliSentai]

This is the new season of minis and the best of each round will be put in a final "best of" video

[hosokawa37]

for me, it was a toss-up between 13, 15, and 16. I voted, but I'm not going to say which one xP

[scythe]

had a big laugh at 5 and 17, but 13 got my vote. perfect combination of old and new running gags.

[Distict5-9]

Damn, some pretty good clips in here! I must say that number 15 got me the most, though, simply for its most original interpretation of the guidelines...

[Moon Spirit]

Honestly, #2 is kind of cheating by splicing numerous clips together. That's just me.

I could vote for my own, but then I'd be unfair.

[Elwingil]

I could vote for my own, but then I'd be unfair.
Dude, you are supposed to pick the best one http://forum-thalie.fr/thalie/images/smilies/Janv05.gif

[jinzo64]

I finaly voted at the time of my vote there had been 98 votes
to be honest I didn't realise we had so many active members.

[Guthix]

*cough*fake acounts*cough*

[Shuiia]

We do have over 14,5 thousand members.
But yeah how many of those are active?

[Haar]

20? I'm assuming that these other votes are coming from the lurkers and the YouTube people.

[jinzo64]

20? I'm assuming that these other votes are coming from the lurkers and the YouTube people.

that would make sense people signing up to vote then they'll never post again like those people who sign up to leave a comment about the newest amvhell video or mini.

[stkbayfield]

For me it was a close call between 9 and 13. 15, though a good concept, was a little too meta to be an AMV Hell in-joke. It's more of a members of the AMV Hell community in-joke.

I caved to peer pressure and selected 13 after seeing it mentioned twice in the thread.

[Guthix]

so much for anonymous voting, you people are pissing on zarx efforts

[The Real Inferno]

Oh, Guthix...

[NodMan]

I cast my Magic Vote at #7. 8bit theater ftw.

[Junk4u]

Zarx.....number 10 has a TBS watermark top right corner....I cant....no.....just...nah...cant accept it.

OH GOD! I never even noticed that! What have I done!

In actuality the reason is because I originally did it in 480p it had no watermark, but when I decided to re-do it in 720p I wasn't paying attention I guess.

[Gleeman]

Sauce on the Living Dead Girl one?

[LawRayLiet]

Sauce on the Living Dead Girl one?
Sankarea

[Gleeman]

Sankarea

Thanks, guess I missed seeing that one!

[Thetruecrow]

1, 15, 16, and 17 were pretty good. I should have made something.

[Haar]

That dubstep clip needed more GaoGaiGar.

[Sir Fluffykins]

Needs more WubWubWub

[SuperLoliSentai]

Needs more WubWubWub

you will regret that suggestion!

Muhahahaha

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOXJfjZQR30

told you...

[LawRayLiet]

Hmm... anyone else think of this?
http://i.imgur.com/gUhyDOD.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/MjxuGPt.jpg

[Sir Fluffykins]

Yes, thought it was pretty obvious

[The Real Inferno]

I was kind of assuming that was the point.

[LawRayLiet]

Figured as much, just surprised no one mentioned it yet.

[Haar]

I was more preoccupied with the laughing avatar thing that took me two re-watches to notice.

[Moon Spirit]

Dude, you are supposed to pick the best one http://forum-thalie.fr/thalie/images/smilies/Janv05.gif

I did, and it wasn't mine because like I said, that would be unfair.

[Neomalysys]

Good to have the download option. Now I can collect the whole set instead of waiting and dealing with streaming sites for now.

[Berserker]

What anime is used in video 6?

[SilentChaz]

As a Minis episode goes- this was a bit weak. At least we got a few gems...

Comments-

02 - Sneaky evasion of the "one entry only" rule there.

03 - I chuckled, but felt this could have been cut a little shorter.

06 - Nope, transvestite clips still aren't funny and they never will be.

07 - Odd choice of clip to redo, it's hardly the funniest clip from the history of Hell... it wasn't even the funniest of Hell 5...

09 - Winner.

13 - I got a chuckle out of this. I just wish Osaka went flying instead of just disappearing behind Sunred.

14 - I noticed the image vibrates momentarily at the 5.26 mark... that was hilarious.

15 - Liked this one. A nicer punch line might have been "I know every mile, will be worth my whi-" Still- good stuff.

[vash32]

This was tough, I needed to re-watch to see for sure.
To me, the funny ones are: 3, 8, 9, 13, 15, and 16... In the end, I voted for what made me laugh the most.

[milleniummaster18]

5's got a good pace and a good part of the dynamic side of AMV Hell, it got my vote.

[dennydog55]

well i watched it 4 times better decide on what 2 vote for......:confused:

[Odin]

13. Dear God, 13. XD 3 was great, 17 made me laugh, but 13 for sure. AMV Hell history with the ramdom humorous spirit of conciseness that really defined the older, really good clips.

[Odin]

What anime is used in video 6?

Seikon no Qwaser II

[SleeplessPanda]

****ing ey man . . Can only choose one? Lots of good entries . . Picked' #15, story of my life on AMV Hell. XD

[kapparomeo]

When the winner is announced, would it be possible to re-release this voting video with a credits list added, please?

[Zarxrax]

When the winner is announced, would it be possible to re-release this voting video with a credits list added, please?

No.

[kapparomeo]

Okay, thanks for considering it.

Voting ends tonight - good luck to everyone who took part!

[Zarxrax]

Video 15 by Robert Frazer is the winner, winning by JUST 1 VOTE. Congratulations!

[Guthix]

eh... figured we needed judges after all...

[DXM]

No 15 truly captured the AMV experience.

[Sregger]

We need more voters!!!

Happy with 15 - my second choice

Which reminds me - we need Preferential voting

[Outlaw]

Wow, 13 was robbed. Should've seen this coming with how masturbatory 15 was for amv makers.

[Guthix]

Wow, 13 was robbed. Should've seen this coming with how masturbatory 15 was for amv makers.

not only its for amv makers but its pure amv hell joke, everyone outside amv hell editor circle will not see it.

[SplitReality]

not only its for amv makers but its pure amv hell joke, everyone outside amv hell editor circle will not see it.

I'm not an editor, but I still loved it.

[The Real Inferno]

I'll live.

[Marbil]

I tied at 5th place with my video 9 so can't say I'm that disappointed. Overall I think the right clip won!

[kapparomeo]

how masturbatory 15 was for amv makers.


not only its for amv makers but its pure amv hell joke,

I'm sorry chaps, but the theme of the challenge was "AMV Hell"...!

Thanks for your support, everyone, I'm glad to be able to ring in the Challenges - I definitely thought that the hope of creation, the glory of publication, and the despair of rejection, was something that everyone could relate to! There are still some changes I would have made - in the Sony Vegas segment I wanted to put in Azumanga Daioh rather than Akira for a stronger AMV Hell link, but my DVDs are hundreds of miles away right now; also, to address SilentChaz's comment on the previous page, I was running right up against the forty-second hard limit, which led to that clumsy "I have - dreamed" audio cut at the start which was just to shave off a couple of seconds.

My personal top three were no. 5, no. 9 and no. 16. All were very well put together - no. 5 was a romp through series history (although I don't recall dubstep having that big an influence in previous Hells), 9 was a very lively elaboration of a classic skit, and I loved the lip-syncing in 16, particularly when the blue girl was bent over - lip-syncing while moving is something I've never got the hang of myself. Honourable Mention to no. 17, for the very appropriate link to another memorable internet virus.

Thanks again for your votes, everyone, and good luck to editors in future Challenges!

[Outlaw]

I'm sorry chaps, but the theme of the challenge was "AMV Hell"...!

What's more amv hell than the most famous clip, and the one that "replaced" it in the newest amv hell? The theme of the video was more "AMV Creator" than hell.

[Moon Spirit]

Oh well, I tied at 7th. And it was my very first outing into the world of AMVs. Proud of my work though. Now it becomes my building block for my future.

[serum]

It wasn't obvious!?!?!?
Also, I have no idea which one I voted for, so I have no idea if I'm happy or not:sweatdrop:

[adzman]

the one you voted for will be italicized at the top

[ThatsNotMyName_studio]

Wow, I just realized that If I hadn't voted for 15, it wouldn't have won.
Never before have I personally been so... well, pivotal.

[DXM]

I voted for it too.


And I am Glad

[SilentChaz]

The results are in, and the first winning clip ends with a message from Zarxrax expressing his disapproval of your efforts whilst his avatar smiles its cold smile, burning its image into your heartbroken soul…

I love it.

Like I said, "It is the one clip that truly captures AMV hell"

[jinzo64]
