yeah, i asked that question too (man i had a great idea, but i think i already told you bout it). might be a lil to gory. you have to get an indirect link.

personally, i think that if the org is gonna have a no tolerance ruleto violent AMV's then they should define "to violent." but im to lazy to suggest it.

also:i think this belongs in site help.

If an anime is VERY violent and you use parts where it has little or no violence, than it's OK. If it's questionable, then you need to ask an admin or a mod if it's too violent or not. In otherwords, if you think it's too violent, then don't put it up on the org, but that just depends on the persons definition of "violent".

It's not the comunity, it's the server, probably has to do with legal agreements between phade and whoever hosts the site.

As far as the comunity goes, there's even a subset of AMV's known as HMV's, Hentai Movie Videos. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination....

I think the violence rule is a bit more relaxed than what the official declaration seem to suggest and, while I'm not a big fan of graphic violence myself, I've seen some AMVs that seem to have a fair share of it. I think the Hentai rule is probably more strictly enforced because there are much clearer lines surrounding it (like "is there nudity and characters doing blatently sexual things onscreen") as opposed to a subjective analysis of how much blood is let in the midst of some giant sword/gun/magical fireball battle.

Still, I think it'd be a good idea for you to make a draft of the video with all the clips you plan to use, find a temporary host for the thing (possibly me - you'd have to remind me, though), and send a PM to someone like Phade asking if one of the Mods would watch it and say whether you can put it up or not. That way, if they say "no" you haven't put too much time into it, if they say "yes" you can put it up with confidence, and if they don't say anything you can at least put it up with the defense that you gave them ample opportunity to tell you not to. Even if they don't answer, they might delete it later on, but I think that your having the courtesy to at least ask first would be good reason for them to not do anything else like banning you for stepping over the line.

I haven't yet seen either of the Kill Bill films (I know what I'll do this summer....), so I really can't say whether it'd lend itself to being more or less violent than some of the action vids based in various gory shounen anime (though it is a Terantino....), but I can say that good editing can make anything look less like a slasher flick (or any other type of flick, for that matter) than it really was. Can also make it look even worse, if that's you're intention. That's why there aren't any rules here for what type of anime you can use, just what type of amv you can post. If someone finds a way to make an innocent romance video using La Blue Girl and a home-brew remix of "Closer" from The Downward Spiral they should be congratulated on their phenominal editing ability and allowed to post their work regardless of where it came from. If someone manages to apply massave special effects to Azumanga Diaoh and a Simon and Garfunkle's "59th Street Bridge Song" ("Feelin' Groovy") to produce a hideous heintai/slasher video with blood, guts, and grossly innapropriate relations between Chiyo-chan and the cat that keeps biting Sakaki's finger they should not only be headed straight for hell, but also banned from the .org forever. It's all about the end product.

Come to think of it, I'm a little concerned myself that those terrible ideas even popped into my head, though greatly relieved that I can't actually imagine what they'd look like.

I think we're all safe as long as no one tries to find out...

...Shouldn't this be in AMV suggestions? Cool ideas, though.

ano...they were supposed to be examples of really stupid ideas to illustrate the extreme to which it is theoretically possible to make an amv in no way resemble its musical and anime conponents - but, then again, if you can pull them off...

Most of the ORG will, in order:
1) Call you sick and twisted
2) Love the videos.
