I think I saw that one before. Good, but it was better without the YT stutters.

That's lame that the YT version of Cross Point was corrupt.
Here's a link to a ddl on animemusicvideos.org if you're curious enough to see the rest.

One needs to sign up to the site [free], but I think access to > 100 000 AMV downloads is worth it.

Another personal favourite.

It's not especially amazing, it's just... funny.

On that note, Vidok's Gimme More (Various = Machinae Supremacy - Gimme More) is one I love for just the fun (and fan service) of it.

Ahaha, while that was wonderful, I counter with this:

Oh yes, that was great work there melding anime and Sin City. It reminds me of Ian Fleming's Property of a Lady, an AMV intro to a virtual James Bond film. (Property of a Lady (various) = Muse - Feeling Good))

Edit: ...and the similarity was only heightened by Muse doing the music in both videos.

I'm a sucker for crossovers.

Ileia has impressed me for years with her excellent sync skills. She uses them well in Don't Break. (Animatrix = Venus Hum - Do You Want to Fight Me)

my favorite amv is from evangelion and the song is mein hertz brennt from Rammstein mixed by Tatu

Whenever I think of Evangelion (especially with Rammstein), this AMV comes to mind. In 1999 (a distant age when most AMVs were made with two VCRs) it was a technical marvel made on Windows 98. Despite its age I think it still remains one of the best AMVs of all time with beautiful synch, timing and story.

Next up - made ten years later - my favorite Clannad AMV: Kireblue's Tears are from the heart (Clannad = Rob Thomas - Her Diamonds)

my favorite AMV of all time, if you'r a fan of One Piece, then i guess its impossible to dislike this one...

It overall shows everything, the characters, and all of the hardship they've gone trough

Looks kinda interesting. Gives me hope that maybe OP doesn't suck so much once I get a little further. I've watched 53 episodes, I was able to do that because someone told me it'll get a helluva lot better, and because it does generally improve with each new arc. Occasionally it also has some brilliant scenes, though unfortunately always out of battle, the battles are so goddamn horrible I've never seen anything like it, not even in Yu Yu Hakusho. Except for one, the Zoro vs. Hawk Eye battle, that was pretty decent. It was hilariously anti-climatic to watch a brilliant build-up in that Nami-centered arc, only to have it conclude with a series of dragged out battles that effectively embody everything that's bad about shounen battles. When I continue watching some day, I'll probably skip most of the battles, unless and until they get decent.

It gets way better when you get further into it... the first half (or til the Water Seven arch - i don't remember the exact episode number), the arch with all those "Animal" fruiteaters, you've watched in the AMV, untill that arch, it seems pretty unserious, afterwards it gets more and more serious, it still has those serious moments, (the fight with arlong in the nami arch is an example, or overall the way Luffy wants to help Nami and the village)

Many things happens afterwards, which you also got a little taste of in the AMV:

(click to show/hide)

Fights against several of the 7 Warlords
More people joins the strawhats (8 people so far @ ep 509).
Huge bounties on the strawhat (Especially Zoro and Luffy).
A War against the Marine, in Marineford, their base, where Luffy + alot of other pirates (The whitebeard pirates + allies), fights against the 3 Admirals, nearly all of the warlords and many thousand marines.
Luffy breaks into the worlds most secure prison, impel down, to save his brother.

my favorite fight from OP is: Ace VS. Blackbeard, awesome one, you'll be able to find many videos on youtube with it.

and yeah, especially in the start, there are some boring battles (ehmmm the usopp arch)
it gets better, but there are some very long fights later on too (especially Water 7 Fights)

[Krozam]

Eh, Usopp's intro arc has a relatively okay main battle, since they didn't drag it on too much and captain Kuro is a pretty awesome villain. Since then the battles have gotten progressively worse (save the one exception), Sanji's battle in the Arlong arc being the worst of them all.

Honestly, though, I'm not cure which is worse, the character designs or the battles. Some characters are akay, such as Zoro, Sanji and Nami, but some, like Usopp and Buggy, make me want to close my eyes and forget ever having seen them. -.-' Luffy, too, is very unimpressive for a protagonist, but at least I don't get the urge to facepalm every time he appears on the screen.

Gotta admit, though, some of the post-timeskip designs are pretty cool.

Here's another of my favorites: Using The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, QWAQA edits things to tell another excellent - if slightly darker - story. (Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo = Beatles - A Day in the Life)

[Endosanity]

This is by far one of the best AMVs I've seen. It's for the anime Koi Kaze and it manages to capture the entire scope of the anime in just under 5 minutes in an excellent presentation:
