Influential AMVs of the last 10 years (2000 - 2010)

[Kionon]

I was a beta tester for Everything You Want back in the day. It was done by DigitalGod. He redid it and took out the original music video though after concerns if he didn't we'd attract too much attention. I think I have both versions, but I would need to search for the original...

That sucks. I adored the original version the most. (Both versions are on youtube, though not the good quality ones.)

I like how you put it...back when AMVs were underground and shiz. Too bad I only kept my hobby of editing to myself during the early 2000s, I could have met some really interesting people had I signed up immediately after noticing a-m-v.org. (I probably would have some skills after 10 years, too)

I'm still looking through all the suggestions. I'm floored by how awesome some of these videos are. It's like Christmas in...uh...August for me. *waits patiently for more influential suggestions*

If you need Version 2 in mpg, I have it. I cannot find the original version, though I know I had it at one time. Could always do remasters...

I've got a copy of V1, it was sitting on a VCD I'd authored back in December of 2002 (track 8 on the same disc: Bitches).

Here it is, the original file I downloaded off iMesh or Kazaa way back then (as opposed to the aforementioned VCD-compliant one that I'd converted it to).

Oooh. Saved.

Ha ha! I remember Bitches actually being the first OV video I had ever seen.

Hell yes. I love you for the link. I wouldn't mind version 2 aswell, Kionon. =) (Though, a remastered version would be awesome)

Jesus. I-mesh and Kazaa...blast from the past. Audiogalaxy was the best thing EVER for music, though. The actual hosting of hard to find P2P songs that popped up even once was great. I found some very rare anime osts that way. (Like the MAPS ost and entire KOR collection including movie osts)

I'll upload V2 to my server, hold on.

I own all of the KOR OSTs. Multiple copies.

In Vinyl.

*drools* Once I have decent income again, I plan to collect ANYTHING remotely related to KOR. I can't believe after 10 years, it's still my favorite manga/anime. *wishes he had discovered the Laserdisc treasure that is KOR earlier in the 90's*

Damn artbooks are pain to find and when found are expensive. A friend had Akemi Takada's artbook "Madoka" she found at convention years back...but has since "lost" it. (I assume one of her roomates jacked it upon seeing what the artbooks fetch on e-bay) Between Akemi and Izumi, I'd die a happy man if I could just get one of each of their artbooks for KOR.

At least I have Kazushi Hagiwara's (Matsumoto's Assistant) Artbook for Bastard!! and Guardress.

Appreciate the upload, Kionon. =)

Glad to see another fan of KOR around. I was feeling lonely there for a bit. D:

Actually, there was a remastered V3 version:

I vaguely remembered it because I came across it on the 'tube also.

Woooo. Downloading as we speak.

2 videos that heavily influenced me and a few other editors I know. I'd strongly suggest giving them a watch.

You're sorta out of the loop aren't you?

I'm considered the world's biggest KOR fan. By the Japanese fans, as well as Takada Akemi herself. I have the largest KOR collection ever amassed by a single person. I have spent over $5000 on KOR merchandise alone. I haven't had much luck getting an audience with Matsumoto Izumi, since he has been pretty sick for the last couple of years. I did manage to get Toyama Prefecture to send me his new KOR PSA posters though.... Vlad has a Madoka sketch from Matsumoto, I am very envious. He wasn't sick at the time, I guess (though the latest news is he is doing much much better).

I bought La Madonna from Takada Akemi in Shibuya in Tokyo May of last year. She also drew her famous cat logo with her signature on it. She also signed my copy of Madoka, which you mention above.

I have a lot of KOR on LaserDisc. About half the series on JP LD, the OAV JP Boxed Set, and the OAVs/Movies from AE on LD. I'm in negotiations to get the AE TV set. Of course, I also was preorder #6 on the DVD Set, and own the R2 Remasters.

To get a sense of how massive my collection is, look here: http://ayukawamadoka.blogspot.com or look in the "show us your rig" thread. Plenty of pictures show how my living room is just overwhelmed with KOR.

You know, I do collect duplicates, and some stuff is common enough that if you really want something specifically, I can get it for you. Assuming you pay for shipping from Japan and provide me with a very modest finder's fee (don't buy KOR stuff on ebay! They know US fans do not know the market value of these items here in Japan and they will gouge you badly!).
