How remiss of me - HoagieOfDoom - 06-04-2006
These were the winners of the Anime Boston 2006 AMV contest. There were a lot of *damn* fine AMVs this year, and except for the drama winner I was rooting for all of these.
Drama: Lost Ones - "Change the World" by Anberlin, set to The Place Promised in Our Early Days.
Fun/Upbeat/Other: Foxman Begins - Batman Begins trailer audio set to Naruto. This one had the entire crowd laughing hysterically.
Romance: Conter Les Heures - "Halleujah" as covered by Rufus Wainwright set to Chrono Cross. Very well done, however beware the spoilage.
Comedy: Fullmetal Hell - Various clips set to the Fullmetal Alchemist movie. Even for someone like me who has zero interest in FA this was incredibly funny.
Best Editing: true:FICTION - "Das Omen" and "Lauf der Zeit" by E Nomine set to various anime. The sheer amount of clips and technical wizardry in this AMV is astounding.
Action and Best of Show: Hold Me Now - Hall Om Mig by Nanne Gronnvall set to Princess Tutu. My friends and I were ecstatic that this won; in fact, it is quite possibly the best AMV any of us had seen. Watch it. NOW.
Side note: strangely enough, there were a large number of Bon Jovi AMVs this year; at least three or four.*********

Foxman, Fullmetal Hell, and True:Fiction deserve the laurels that have been heaped on them.

Quote:I strongly recommend Tutu - it's magical girls done right, with ballet as the theme. It's also a faerie tale (as opposed to a "fairy tale"), so the older folks have something interesting to watch...

Fullmetal Hell wins everything, if only for "ZOMG SUBTEXT" and Leeeeeroy Jenkins. That one just totally caught me off-guard, had me giggling like a nitwit for five minutes flat. %)---

Quote:Noted and corrected. I'm only familiar with this version and another one done with guitar and vox by... Jeff Buckley? I can't remember. Whoever it was done by, it was in Shrek. Thanks for the heads up.*********

Quote:Whoa. I never watched that anime (didn't even hear of it before today) and I now have the unbearable need to watch it.

*Heads off to Discount Anime DVDs to see the prices*
-Edit-
And now that I've watched the AMV a bit more, I must say that video clips coincide quite well with the music. I particularly like the transitions between White Girl and Black Lady from 0:50 to 1:00 (roughly)
Hall Om Mig - Valles - 07-19-2006
Wow.
The video by itself doesn't actually make me want to see the show, but it goes a goodly distance towards that decision... which the Wikipedia article on about the series completes.
Thanks for leading us to it!

Quote:It's really good. I've watched up to episode 7 or 8 and I have a friend who's seen up to 22. It's actually kinda reminds of Revolutionary Girl Utena, but geared more for every audience rather than a purely adult one.

(Princess Tutu)
Quote:I've seen the entire series. Your friend who's seen up to episode 22 may want to be prepared for the roller-coaster of emotions that's coming up in the next four episodes. One spoiler: Don't expect everyone who should get a "happily ever after" ending to actually get one. That wouldn't be true to the story so far.
It's really good. I've watched up to episode 7 or 8 and I have a friend who's seen up to 22.
Quote:As I mentioned earlier, it's a Faerie Story rather than a Fairy Tale. Those were definitely aimed at adults...
