AMV FOREVER 2
Electric Boogaloo
Official Topic

Hello again, pals, Man-O-War, your friendly neighborhood AMV Forever Judge, here!  You know, it's been awhile since the wildly successful first AMV Forever
competition, and I thought it was about time to start another one!  However, I couldn't just have the same old competition all over again, no sir, we have to mix it up a bit.  For this AMV Forever competition, we are going to have a THEME, which all competitors must include in their entries!  You may have already guessed it, but the theme is DANCE!  All competitors must include the theme in their entry in some way, be it with a dancing anime character, or dance music, or whatever else you can think of, as long as it connects to the theme in some way.  Also, I am changing the length of the entry period.  Competitors now have TWO WEEKS from the time of this post to submit their AMVs into the competition.  We will again be offering a MYSTERY PRIZE to the winner, so good luck!

Gentlemen, let's BOOGIE!

Is this ironic? I might take part if it's ironic

God damn you, don't make this a regular thing!

I'll probably enter the third one.

It's not ironic is it

Uhmm, that's the inherit beauty of an AMV...

(you can never tell if it's being ironic or not)

There's less than a week left, get your entries in! (Psyburn)

I didn't do anything because I got confused with the whole dance theme, and how it's supposed to relate. I guess I'll just use a dance related song.

Thanks a bunch guys.  For months all I ever heard was "hey when's the next AMV Forever, I want to enter" and I finally post it and I only get one entry.
Thanks.

Congratulations, Suki Rios, you win by default.
No one else even gets to find out what the mystery prize is, now.  You all suck.

We're not jerks for not entering your second unironic amv contest in not that long. Most people just don't have that much of an amv making drive

Sorry dude, to make you feel better, I just made a little AMV of my own, I hope it is good enough for you ^_^
the anime is Gaigo-si-nebashi!! and the song of course is Phill Collin's epic magnum opus, the gutwrenching "Another day in paredise".

I liked the effects!
