AMV Hell: Difference between revisions

After letting the series rest and recuperate for a few months one of the original creators, Zarxrax, introduced the [http://amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvminisdownload "AMV Minis"] in July 2009. In an attempt to maintain and provide an outlet for continued interest in the AMV Hell brand while lessening the workload of its management, the "AMV Minis" consist of a series of shorter videos released more frequently, as opposed to the feature-length events of Hells 3-5. These Minis are comparable in scale to the original AMV Hell, but are comprised entirely of submissions from other editors and do not have clips created by Zarxrax himself. The "first season" of the Minis runs to thirteen episodes: eleven regular editions and two special editions - one focusing exclusively on [[Azumanga Daioh]] (an abidingly popular subject for clips and skits throughout the AMV Hells) and the other a collection of "Bad Stuff", something like the Minis' own Episode 0. The second season was launched in April 2011; the first episode of the new season responded to viewer feedback that criticized the proliferation of dialogue-based skits and skits that felt dragged out and overlong in earlier Hells and Minis by limiting submissions to a maximum of seven seconds and requiring their accompanying audio to be music or song, as well as banning skits based on [[Family Guy]]. This immediately provoked a rash of complaints moaning about a bewildering pace and a nostalgic fondness for ''Family Guy'', illustrating that the AMV Minis suffer from a petulant and [[Unpleasable Fanbase]].

 

 

 

The series has had a considerable influence over AMV making - imitators who were inspired by the "multiple-short-AMV-clips" style have been described as making their videos in "AMV Hell style." In essence, the page-topping quote became a reality.

* [[Covered in Gunge]] - [[Incredibly Lame Pun|A little all over]], but mainly concentrated in ''AMV Hell 0'' and ''AMV Hell Divided By 0''.

* [[Dead Baby Comedy]] - Taken to its literal extreme in ''AMV Hell 0'' and ''AMV Hell Divided by 0''; you '''will''' be offended by these two videos, guaranteed. Hell, ''AMV Hell 0's'' disclaimer says that "this stuff is so bad we never should have even made it".

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]] - Averted. [[Grave of the Fireflies]] and [[Barefoot Gen]] among others are made fun of just to prove it.

* [[Fan Disservice]] and [[Fan Service]] - 0 and Divided By 0 are made largely from [[Hentai]].

* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]] - Debatably at times.

** ''Divided By 0'' is about 25% coprophilia jokes.

** The [http://www.amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvhell3 credits] for ''AMV Hell 3'' refer to them as "[[Azumanga Daioh|Osaka]] Cutaways".

*** They now have an AMV Mini devoted exclusively to [https://web.archive.org/web/20111026042037/http://amvhell.com/video.php?do=viewdetails&videoid=369 Azumanga].
