[SuperLoliSentai]

BLOCKED!

[adracamas]

aaand it's up.

[urahara1001]

Wow. Apparently really scraping the bottom of the barrel on this one.

[milleniummaster18]

I thought that, unless otherwise stated, all challenge entries were to use anime.
You can, in a way, argue that Jem or Avatar are anime, you can't do so for Family Guy. Not to mention it just brought up muck for the YT filter to detect.

[HaikenEdge]

Thought 1, 2 & 3 were the best.

A means "animated"

[milleniummaster18]

Tell that to the org.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime_music_video

A is for "Anime", as it always has been. Any alternative interpretations are just an excuse in an attempt to justify the fact that they're not using anime in their videos.
It works for the simple folk at YouTube, but it's not going to fly in here, especially not by me.

FYI, using Wikipedia as a source doesn't fly anymore. At least use one of the cited sources in the article instead.

Regarding the video, I had an idea using Ace Ventura as well, but I couldn't find a scene to go with it. Probably worked out for the best in that sense.

1 and 7 were pretty much the only ones that really did anything with the theme, though.

[Chewi105]

1, 2, and 3 were good, but then the rest sent it into a steep decline, followed by a tailspin, and concluded with a fiery entrance into a tall, crowded building

[FORDboy357]

I give Avatar a pass for an anime for two reasons

1. Its style is modeled after FLCL
2. It's animated in Korea life every other anime

And #5 was just awful. Neither the audio or video had anything to do with time

[hosokawa37]

*sigh* guess I'll just vote for something...

Tell that to the Japanese. Who, by the way, coined the term in the first place. Anime = animation, PERIOD. It didn't become "Japanese animation" until western otakus got ahold of the term.

That being said, I still prefer to use the Otaku definition, simply out of convienence. Easier to say "anime" or "cartoon" as opposed to "Japanese animation" or "American animation".

But if using the other definition "doesn't fly" and is such a huge issue, Mil.....that just goes to show how much of a weeaboo you are.

IF we're going by that, then my clip for challenge 17 shouldn't have been accepted, seeing as is had no animation at all, see as my sources were a VN and a pic of me.

[thedarkmessenger]

None of these come even CLOSE to warranting a vote.

[ScrubBrush]

A time distortion themed AMV Hell Mini Challenge; none of these videos have audio from Back to the Future, Dr. Who, Hot Tub Time Machine, and no Time Warp Song from The Rocky Horror Picture Show was used.
I am disappoint.

[Sir Fluffykins]

Voted for 2, though I guess the Avatar one of decent too.

[MarkSoupial]

It's always nice to know that no matter how original you try to make your video, someone will be disappointed that you didn't use an obvious, overdone, and uninteresting source material.

Also the animation in Avatar is way too fluid and stylistic to be even remotely considered anime, Family Guy is much closer to the standards set by major Japanese studios.

[milleniummaster18]

The term Anime Music Video does not encompass all types of animation, regardless of who coined the term anime first. Anime Music Video is, for the most part, a Western term since they're mostly made in the Western world, after all. Therefore, the Western definition of anime dictates its limitations, as it is common knowledge by now.


But if using the other definition "doesn't fly" and is such a huge issue, Mil.....that just goes to show how much of a weeaboo you are.

Does it, now? More like it just goes to prove you haven't been keeping your eyes open wide enough around these parts. Usage of Western-styled animation has generally been taboo throughout all iterations of AMV Hell and AMV Minis (with the obvious exceptions for the latter). Concessions have been made to allow other mediums such as Japanese-styled manga, Japanese visual novels, Japanese games, and similar for reasons that by now should be very evident . Keep up with the times, Dark.


IF we're going by that, then my clip for challenge 17 shouldn't have been accepted, seeing as is had no animation at all, see as my sources were a VN and a pic of me.

But the challenges don't go by what I consider to be AMVs now, do they?
You had an "anime-styled" VN image and you added motion to it. Previous AMV Hells had their share of dynamic manga pages (done better than what you've done so far, but that's an issue for another day).

[pzykosiz]

now that all the complaints are out of the way,
i thought this was a decent selection for a difficult theme

voted for number 2, it worked well
honourable mentions to 1,5 and 7

Dr. Who isn't uninteresting and I don't recall Back to the Future or Dr. Who being used in any previous AMV Hell videos

[PrinnyCat]

Well kind of wished I hadn't been too lazy to enter something now. Also not sure who to vote for really. Not as terrible as the dubstep challenge but still not the best

[FORDboy357]

Dr. Who isn't uninteresting and I don't recall Back to the Future or Dr. Who being used in any previous AMV Hell videos
There was a good Dr. Who clip in hell 4 I believe "this is the tardis..." and there was a rejected clip at the start of 6.66

[Sir Fluffykins]

The Deadland Wonderland clip, I don't really have a problem with that voice actor in his other roles, but his voice seriously does not fit that kid, too the point I feel I need to point it out here.

[Zarxrax]

I'm a bit surprised that there isn't much love for #9, which I thought was one of the most original clips I've seen in a while.

[FORDboy357]

Pretty standard Youtube Poop

[Guthix]

you realy love dem asskissers dont you zarx?

[SirLoinofBeef]

I'm a bit surprised that there isn't much love for #9, which I thought was one of the most original clips I've seen in a while.

I'd be inclined to agree if it wasn't the exact same clip that was used in the previous challenge.

[N.P.C.C.]

Not the strongest outing for us, but honestly wasn't expecting much from this one. I'll opt not to comment on each individually, (might be too harsh inadvertently ) however it's interesting how everyone who entered chose to approach the theme. Well, at least it wasn't the fox.

[FORDboy357]

It wasn't the fox...

I have higher hopes for the gaming challenge

[klingoncowboy4]

Hard to say which one...

None really triggered my interest... I guess I may just have to pick the one I feel best fits the theme rather than what entertained me...

[MarkSoupial]

I'm a bit surprised that there isn't much love for #9, which I thought was one of the most original clips I've seen in a while.

Original doesn't sell.

[Moon Spirit]

I'd have to choose #2. 9 was original, but it's just recycling one's previous work, and I wouldn't qualify this.

[thedarkmessenger]

I love how you're telling me to "keep up with the times" when you yourself are wearing nostalgia googles. Yes, there wasn't much western-style animation in the past. Doesn't mean jack**** for the present. Things change over time. And guess who decides what goes in and what doesn't in the first place? Here's a hint: not you.

Honestly, I'd prefer it myself if there wasn't western animation in Hell. Actually, if I were in charge I probably would've just cancelled this whole challenge. Only 9 submissions, and very few of them actually fit the theme. I don't think Zarx is actually rejecting ANYTHING for ANY reason with these challenges. He just seems to give us a theme, but then not actually care at all what we submit. I understand I don't see the whole picture (don't have access to anyone's submission forms but my own...and I've only submitted 2 or 3 times), but that's the impression I'm getting from what I do see in the final product.

Unfortunately, neither of us are in charge, so all I can do is just NOT vote for any of these **** clips and NOT watch the winners video at the end of all this. I've already seen all the winning clips anyway....and I can already tell the winners video will be ****. Oh well. At least the youtube toddlers will be entertained.

sometimes i wish zarx just says no to non-anime clips and if asked why hed reply, "**** you that why". these discusions are boring

That would be awesome! I'd love that. More entertaining challenges AND the youtube toddlers will provide entertainment for us as well!

I'm not sure the fox is that much worse than this. Several of the clips for the fox wouldn't have been so bad if they weren't all mashed together at once. Most of the clips here I'm pretty sure would be crap no matter where they'd go. Taken on the whole the fox is still more painful to watch, but taken on an individual basis, I believe this fails harder.

[LawRayLiet]

These episodes are becoming mightily embarrassing. Like, above the average level.
I do miss some form of content control.

[Antonio Black]

^I slightly agree. There at least a couple good ones per episode though. Not the greatest track record ever, but maybe AMV HEll 7 will give us some hope for the future!

[PrinnyCat]

Starting to feel that that frog clip would be better suited for the wtf? challenge than to this

I'm not even sure how "time warp" came into play at all. The video "warped", sure, but that's the video, not time.

[jinzo64]

I'll probably vote for 3.

But I like 1-4.
I think the audio on 5 is speed up.

[IceAngelYuki]

I have no idea what to say about this one other than it was not the best. That being said, I liked 3 and 7 the best. Number 5, let's just say I really didn't like that one at all... Sadly enough, I didn't even vote on my own. I have to say mine turned out very ****ty and very much rushed even to me. Oh well. I will accept that.

[milleniummaster18]

Alright, let's get this over with.

1. Works well.

2. An indication, and that's it. Perhaps the religious nutjobs might be more interested in your audio findings. They've been at it for decades, now.

3. A really cute AMV. Yes, I saw the clock. Time moves forward, from the looks of it, though I don't seem to follow on the overall intent of the video.

4. Trippy, but there's little going for this clip.

5. U-huh, I get it. Anything funny? No?

6. The underlying concept is really good. But, of course, the execution had to be crap. Funny how things turn out sometimes.

7. I'm sort of conflicted with this one. It's so-so, I suppose.

8. No, you see, the challenge was to distort or manipulate the time of the video, not make me want time to go faster so I could just be done watching your clip.

9. When you stick up audio and video together that fit well, there's going to be some sort of synergy in the overall clip. There is none on this one, it looks more like the video is trying to catch up on the incoherence that is the audio. Yes, I have seen a more than decent share of YouTube Poop, this clip's audio source included. Not to mention, we just got off from watching the Art challenge.

Overall, a piss poor round. The only good news out of this one is that Zarx isn't censoring "dick" anymore. So, you know what that means:

https://38.media.tumblr.com/3f963d1966b669bfbcc856ba613e37fd/tumblr_nd034hvvaG1rtl8hpo1_500.jpg

Vote? Hmm... 1, I guess, though I might abstain if this keeps getting worse. Chances are that the gaming round is going to be better, if only a tad.

[Jazean]

I mostly just pop in to vote now-a-days, but wow... this one was, um, painful, yes painful is a good word for it. #1 made me smile at least, after that #7 did too. I think I'm just gonna flip a coin on this, but dio smackin down anyone is usually funny.

also, #8, that's his english voice? I'm so glad I watched that show subbed, he would of annoyed the hell outta me...

[Tiernoc]

^I slightly agree. There at least a couple good ones per episode though. Not the greatest track record ever, but maybe AMV HEll 7 will give us some hope for the future!

I thought that too, and then I watched it :-/


On topic: 1 and 7 were good, if it weren't for those two I wouldn't have bothered voting at all though :(

[SilentChaz]

02 – Pokénon – Doesn’t work. Just doesn’t work.

03 – Hamster abuse! – Can’t see the joke in this one. What purpose does the clock even serve?

04 – Unlucky – Point (2).

05 – “A” is for unorthodox – Point (1); Hell3 and Minis S2E1. The lack of any kind of effort here is insulting.

06 – Negative – Poor execution.


NOOO!!!. Oh No - Sound Clip

…what?

07 – Yay, Mick Foley – The lip-syncing at the start could have done with another pass or just been cut out for brevity’s sake (the clip does feel like it goes on for a little too long as it is). A couple of quick cuts at 2:48 were a bit jumpy and the abrupt ending slightly spoils the punchline with the transition frame coming in so soon.

Nitpicks aside- this entry had some decent editing, nice synergy and easily the best idea of the challenge.



sometimes i wish zarx just says no to non-anime clips and if asked why hed reply, "**** you that why". these discusions are boring
This.

[FORDboy357]

Redacted

[Zarxrax]

Our winner is once again SilentChaz, with Video 01!

[Moon Spirit]

Tied for 3rd? I'll take it!

[Sir Fluffykins]

Liked Chaz's previous ones, but can't agree the "Time Stopping" was the best one here.

Well done though.

[pzykosiz]

i'm happy with equal 5th
