The purpose of this contest is to revive our poor Videos page, which we lost when the website got revamped earlier this year. Hopefully we'll be able to rebuild the collection, starting with this contest!
Prompt Suggest an AMV (Anime Music Video) to put into Japanimation's Video Collection. You do NOT have to make the AMV yourself (but you can if you want to). All you have to do is give us a link to the video.
Requirements -Post all entries in this topic. -The video must be on YouTube. -Along with the link, state which category your video is being submitted to: Action, Comedy/Parody, Dance/Fun, Drama/Sentimental, Miscellaneous. -You cannot submit a video that is already on our Videos page. Please check the playlists there before you suggest something. -You cannot submit a video that someone else already submitted. The first person who submits the link gets to have that video as their entry. -You can submit up to three different videos per category (15 videos maximum).
Prizes -Everyone will receive 5 EXP for each video submitted, for a maximum of 75 EXP. -There will be five winners for the Best AMV in each category. Those winners will receive +25 EXP in addition to the EXP given for participating. -There will be one winner for the Best Overall AMV, chosen from the five that won Best AMV in their respective categories. That winner will receive +50 EXP in addition to both of the prizes previously mentioned.

Are MEPs allowed as well? They technically are "animes with music playing in the background" but have multiple people editing the video. Just wanted to check in with you just in case.

Amara: So because of the 3 AMVs per category limit, I only considered the first three AMVs on your lists. I also considered the "Romance" and "Beautiful" AMVs to be Drama/Sentimental.
Okay, so to clear confusion, this is how I judged the AMVs...
I went through all the AMVs by category. That means I watched all the Action AMVs, rated them out of 10, and picked a winner; then I did the same for the Comedy/Parody AMVs, etc. I tried to be as un-biased as possible...
I judged the AMVs based on use of footage, use of music, editing, flow, sync, and also how well it matched the category that you chose... meaning that if I felt your Action AMV was more Sentimental, I docked the score (sorry).
And as for the Comedy/Parody and Dance/Fun categories... since there were so many NSFW submissions (mostly fanservice and cussing), I chose two winners, non-NSFW and NSFW, which will both receive the additional 25 EXP. But only the non-NSFW one will be entered into the finals-- because the finals are voted on during a club meeting so school rules apply and blah blah blah all that dumb stuff. Sorry, hope you guys understand.
And with that, I announce the winners for the first round... (tough choices btw)
Action: "Will Power"
Comedy/Parody: "Cosby Bebop"
NSFW Honorable Mention: "Die Young"
Dance/Fun: "Safety Dance"
NSFW Honorable Mention: "I Like It LOUD!"
Drama/Sentimental: "A Drop of Hope"
Miscellaneous: "Animegraphy 2013"
Let me know if you want me to write up the reasons why these won... because I can do that. ;P Giving out the EXP after this post. The final round is taking place during the next meeting!
And remember, the suggestion thread is always open for more AMV suggestions... with EXP included.

Too bad "Die Young" is NSFW. That would be really funny to show except for the foul language and all. The ending credit cracks me up all the time.
"Animegraphy 2013" is really good. God, that editing skills plus I'm amazed he/she was able to put ALL anime from 2013. Ridiculous yet epic. Every time I watch that AMV, I keep getting feels and emotional. It's amazing how magnificent anime. Gah, words cannot express the feelings T~T
Can't wait till 2014 =w=

Little update in the first post: We're voting on AMVs on May 27th instead of the original date.
I totally laughed the hardest at "Die Young" out of all the Comedy/Parody AMVs. xDDD Stupid school rules. >.>
I cannot imagine how long it would take to edit together something like that. o___o I certainly would not have the patience. (I don't even have the patience to edit together something 1/5 that length and 1/8 that quality...)
