This is the problem with FLCL amvs.

Scenario one:

Random clips compiled with a random song because someones trying to be epic.

Scenario two:

Someone does a pairing(noataxharuko, noataxmamimi, noataxninamori, etc)

Scenario three:

Someone thinks songs like sum41 and msi go well with it because its so "random and goofy."

All three of these are fine with other shows...and work fine for the average viewer. However when working with fooly cooly...people rarely hit the nail and totally grasp the show and its deeper meaning. I cant tell you how many amvs ive seen where i facepalm. Yes...i myself am not very good at editing it....and i dont think most editors would be able to make an amv that fully embraces FLCL. Thats why i said, you can try to edit flcl....but u probably wont do it perfect. :|

Sorry if i came off as a troll. :(

Then that guitar thingies popped up and went dun dun DUN dun then those box thingies went zooming by and twirling around and shit. Oh god, then the hexagons popped up and I was like 'I just got a stiffie'. Then there was the circle with those thingies going around and I blew my load.

Lmfao, who can edit one anime perfect to begin with? But yes, there are AMV's entirely above the rest in terms of editing and these "Scenario's" you've placed, the videos aren't perfect by any means but set the standards for a video with that anime usually.

S1: This is a problem with ALL anime not just FLCL, which I'm sure you are aware of. I need not explain more on this.


S2:Now recently there have been ALOT more sentimental FLCL video's for mainly one reason, Exsphere, I'm aware there were previous edits of FLCL that were sentimental but Exsphere really set the bar high imo with The Dreamer (which was based around two characters not really a pairing I suppose, but still.) now I'm sure if you seen that and enjoyed it you may have been motivated to edit like that since you seen that it can be done and done well. Now alot more editors have brought back FLCL in hopes of achieving a good FLCL video through the sake of the sentimental area, honestly it's not that FLCL can't be edited good or whatever, it's the fact that it's almost as overused as DBZ, well maybe I'm exaggerating there but it's pretty close considering almost everything has been done with FLCL, hence why it's hard to impress most people with such edits.

S3:I agree about the MSI stuff, but thats because in all sense FLCL is goofy anime, it was meant to be obviously...., Robots coming out off peoples heads etc...., FLCL is off the wall ( at least it was when I first got into it ) and really when the first few edits of MSI and FLCL came about I'm sure quite a few people flipped shit because it was so awesome or something that's why it's such a popular way of editing it, I personally never liked those edits to begin with.

Lastly, really to edit an AMV that grasp's the anime as a whole, is entirely possible, but that's a matter of total opinion on how the viewer and the editor see the video, it doesn't matter how it's achieved whether through ANY genre of music or ANY editing style it can, and has been done.

Naw I didn't see you as a troll Gray. |:>

-FGTRY-
you just listed different styles of flcl videos, yet no reason why those shouldn't be enjoyable except none of them have the perfect formula to "perfection" none of them are deep enough, not even deep ones! None of them can encompass the whole series into 3 minutes. Because the epic in FLCL isn't what an amv should hit, because the pairings and the love is too girly too shallow for a video to be made with it, and because the goofy in FLCL is not pr0, it's not mature enough to have a vidder made from it.

All of these encompass 90% of the greatest flcl videos, and it's not because they're overused genres it's because these sum up most of the show. If the show isn't about epicness, love, and nonsense then what is it about? Explain to me what the deeper meaning of the show is. I know you could go on about underlying themes and all that bullshit but an amv can have it's own themes, not to say it's own story but it's own depth. I'm not even sure you could EXPLAIN the depth of flcl to me, at least as thoroughly and as perfectly as you want a flcl amv to be.

SCENARIO 1 -

SCENARIO 2 -

SCENARIO 3 -

according to otakugay if you enjoy those then you're an average viewer, not part of an elite group of mediocre editors that longs for the day that someone makes a video equivalent to rewatching the series in 3 minutes.

hit me up on msn, i want you to explain flcl to my feeble mind. "christian_ag93@hotmail.com"

there isn't some "correct" systematical method to editing any one anime. it depends on the audio source, genre, and how you want to edit it; there's no rule of how you can edit certain anime and how you cannot. if there was one specific way, then there would be no variety and style to an amv.
