Free Ops [read notes before posting links]
First, anyone who posted on my last free offer can repost here - it's just way too late for me to review those videos now (the last time I did one of them the person completely forget that he'd asked me to review it - I got way too far behind).
Second, a lot of my regulars have made new vids lately that I haven't reviewed yet - you know who you are. Post links of those vids here and I'll get on them right away (I probably have most downloaded already). [This goes especially to Bebop, dbzrkyyh, and SSJVegeta0609.]
Third, I may stop this thread after it hits page 2 (or 20+ ops) so I can catch up. Anyone who leaves a link after that may have a long wait before he gets a review.
Fourth, I dislike certain anime, and that dislike may strongly influence my reviewability score. I *will* review those vids if the creators ask me to, but be warned ahead of time so you aren't disappointed. These anime include: Kenshin OVA's, Voice of a Distant Star, Love Hina, FLCL, Inuyasha romance vids (for Kagome, Kikyo, or Sango), Escaflowne romance vids (for Van & Hitome), FFX romance vids (for the blonde boy and the girl - if they include the watery dance scene you can be sure the reviewability will be a 7 at the very best), Utena vids (if they show Utena and Anthy lying naked together you may get a 6 at best), Cowboy Bebop vids (if I like the song you may get a good reviewablity - an 8 - if not, expect a 6 since I don't care much for the anime), RahXephon vids (if they have action or followable storylines they're fine, but I know nothing about the anime).
Fifth, vids for anime I like are very very welcome - these include: DBZ vids (DBGT works only if it's an action vid, DB & DBGT 'cute' vids tend to leave me bored), YYH (anything goes, I love this anime), Inuyasha (any action vid or character profile that does not depend on the usual IY/Kagome/Kikyo triangle - I'm not big on IY romance vids), Gundam Wing (anything except Heero/Relena romance vids - those will almost certainly get a 5 on reviewability unless they include nice action scenes), Naruto (I plan to get this eventually, so any vid is welcome), X, Berserk, Sailor Moon, Digimon (are there even any of these out there...I wonder).
Sixth, I will take trailers and shorts, but be warned that I don't like them very much - unless I know the anime or the movie being parodied, they will probably be lost on me.
Seventh, I like a lot of songs, and a wide variety of music. Unlike some people, Linkin Park vids are *more* than welcome (I like the band), Evanescence is welcome (but be warned, if it's a very slow romance vid I may not care for it much), hard action songs are great, rap songs are a rarity (hence a treat for me), instrumental music is wonderful (I've watched very few of them), Japanese songs with or without lyric sync are encouraged (I love the language), songs on the 'most used music' list are welcome (most of those are favorites of mine). Just be careful of the slow romantic songs (if I don't like the pairing, the very slowness of the video can hurt the reviewability).
NOTE: My aim is to be helpful, but also to give feedback on how I liked or felt about the video. If you use a certain editor (wmm or Premiere in particular) and don't list it in the video description, please tell me which one you used when you post the link - this will help me give better feedback. If it's an early vid and you don't mention that in the vid description, put a note next to the link - that will also help me know what sort of pointers you might be looking for. If you're confident in your editing skills and are just looking for feedback on the story itself, please let me know ahead of time - it will let me give you the sort of feedback you want most.
WARNING: If you only want free reviews to boost your scores for the top list, don't bother putting up a link. I will not be held responsible if you don't like my reviewability score because it might hurt your spot on the top list.
Yes, lots of bits up there...
But I *will* take any amv, I'm not discounting anything in this offer. Just read the notices before you give me a vid of yours to review. Be warned ahead of time - only those who want feedback (for those already good at the technical aspects) or constructive criticism (editing help - namely the new editors) need apply here. Also - if you find a review of mine helpful, let me know by replying - if you don't find it useful, don't reply. Those who do reply will be added to my 'review' list so I can surf through their future vids - and I don't want to review vids for people who don't find my reviews useful.
Just don't thank me for the feedback (reviews) unless you found them helpful - there's no need. ^.~
********************************************************
And as always, anyone who's already reviewed one of my vids
should say so - I will put their amv ahead of the others (exchanges
take precedence). ^_^

I used premiere.
keep in mind it has no storyline of it's own. it's more of just a tribute i guess. part of it may outline some of the animatrix stories other parts are just for the beauty or excitement of the segment

I'm downloading Theocide's vid now. ^_^
And thank you both for telling me about the videos - it will make it much easier on me when I get to reviewing the vids. And don't worry about the sizes.
Unless a video is 80+ mbs, I don't mind having to redownload a few times. Anything over 80 mbs on local is probably not going to get downloaded. Oh, I'll try, but after 5 tries on something *that* big, I tend to give up. ^_^;; I'm on dial-up after all, and I don't like what Opera does to my computer, so resuming local links is out of the question. I'll try for a day or so, but then I tend to give up.

You know, I'm very happy you posted that here. I wanted to get your vid when you announced it, but I don't like to review videos unless I know the person is aware of my biases. You can be sure, however much I might dislike Hitome as a character, that won't affect anything except reviewability (and even then - I *do* enjoy some vids for pairings I normally dislike - it's trial and error).)v(ajin Koji wrote:i cant remmeber if you already oped this but please op the vid in my isg, id love to see what someone who doesnt like the Van/Hitomi dynamic thinks
Thanks for putting up the link. ^_^ It's almost like giving me permission to watch it whether I love the pairing or not.

hey, Arigatomyna. I was on your old list under my old login name, YoritomoZen. So here you go.
The Akira Wondervid
And if you feel like it
Born to be Anime
The one thing I would like to say about them is that the video quality is kinda . . . ehhh. Which is one thing that I'm currently working on. So thanks for doing this!

Oh, don't worry about that - I'm stubborn, I love to watch new amvs, and I got my phone line for the sole purpose of getting internet access. The only real problem with me being on dialup is that it takes a while to get videos - and the really big ones test my patience (I never download anything over 100mbs unless it's on direct or indirect and I can use a download manager. I rarely download anything in the 85-95 range unless I have days free to keep trying till I get it all).theocide wrote:gosh im sorry that's hard to believe considering how many vids you've uploaded and downloadedArigatomyna wrote:I'm on dial-up after all

If dial-up ever stopped me from downloading and reviewing vids, I would break down and get a modem - so far it's a hassel, but it doesn't stop me. I'm too stubborn - and I like reviewing videos. ^.~
