amv suggestions?

[kaigou]

Can anyone name a good AMV (decent to better quality) that would work as an introduction to the range of animation styles in anime? Nostromo's AMVs are definitely high-quality, but Nostromo also seems to focus very strongly on female characters, and I'm thinking something more balanced might be better. It's Tricky To Make A Music Video would definitely be a classic, but its quality is a little low (in terms of what I can download) and the music might be a bit too dated for a classroom. Besides, there's got to be more out there, now, that would have a range of as many diverse videos as ITTMAMV does.

Any suggestions?

the race, by istiv?
it is mainly shounen-series, though, so maybe the breadth isn't as wide as you're looking for?

I'll put it on the list! Final decision is what CP thinks will work for his class, though I'd probably argue against something like that, because if you don't realize all the characters are from different anime, it might confuse you. If I didn't recognize everyone, that is, I might get the impression that anime will have wildly divergent styles within the same series. Uhhhhh... I don't know! It's been so long since I could look with a newcomer's eyes...

you are probably right, i didn't think of how it could look as if the footage is all original, not cut together. probably a bad choice, then. (i'm still impressed by it, though.)
