Its
the sixth week of the top 5 online list. What
makes it to the list is animations that are posted online that fall
within the Monday to Monday week before the next list is to be posted.
It can be anything, trailers, clips, shorts, online reviews, etc. as
long as it has a predominance of animation. It must also be searchable
by Blogger's "Insert Video: search YouTube" feature. This
list will not just be comprised because of the quality of the animation
alone, but can also be chosen for premise, concept, or just plain
entertaining. I take suggestions, just leave them in the comment section.
1. Nanobot Beta Test | The Venture Bros. | Adult Swim.
These are a selection of my favorite MLP fanmade comics with some being vids and others straight up images listed down in no particular order. Some of the best of the voice over dubs though would have to be from Obascribbler, Pitch and Magpie productions, and TheLostNarrator, and more recently, DrWolf.

Braeburn Feels Pretty - A Comic Dub (Feat. Sonicring123Dubs)
Film Short: Firework Full Cover (JonTron Offical).
Created by: JonTronShow, Alex S., Mike Bedsole, Michael Gregory, and to many animators to name here.
Released: 2016.
Running Time: 4.16 min.
This is an animated musical video remix that was a promise made to
the donators by Jontron for a Livestream charity event for “Teach For America,"
in which he promised to sing the entirety of Katy Perry’s hit “Firework” if
they reached their donation goal, which they did at 25,000$. It was originally released as a song onto
SoundCloud but it was taken down, so they took the song created, and through the help of several
great talents, created a glorious animated amalgam of a music video.
JonTron did a rather stellar job with his singing. He put a
great deal of power, a little pizzazz, and something uniquely him into the
Perry song that, even if he wasn’t a professional popstar, made it enjoyable
as be-all to listen to and watch, emphasizing that sometimes the intent and approach
to a song number can outweigh the glitz of record label polish, and
was also helped by the fact that JonTron actually has a naturally booming power-punch
quality to his singing voice, even if its a bit raw.
The animation meanwhile was supreme A-game from the various
talents around the web that was utilized (and way too many to name here, which can be checked out on youtube) yet
they all kept their various styles somewhat cohesive to the main theme of the song
and JonTron as their consistent focus. Some of the animation styles were funny, some of it was
gorgeous, and they all did a great job.
The best part about this vid though was that they took the
main point of the song, a sort of nod to self-empowerment of the unique
individual, and preserved it within the very construction and final result of this piece. It felt
like a nice homage to the popular song, but at the same time preserve its own self-empowered unique identity. It made the message both much more entertaining, real, and
easy to relate to over the original music video.
Overall this has been one of the better remixes I have ever
come across, and well worth the view, whether you’re a fan of Katy Perry music or
not.

In this section I will list out a selection of my top favorite AMV's based on animated shows and films or characters that have since been animated, and shows with strong animated elements that are listed in no particular order.
So Close (Rose & Pearl) ✫ Steven Universe AMV
I particularly enjoyed this one created by PurviewProductions for it's wonderful depiction of Rose and Pearl from the television show Steven Universe, one of my favorite Romances from television (one that should be given a bit more screen time in my opinion, but that's a personal opinion).
The Musical choice of "So Close" from the Enchanted soundtrack was a great choice, nothing to poppy, but very well suited for the content being depicted.
AMV - [MEP] Anime's Got Talent
This is an amv that was pure fun both to watch, listen to, and in concept. The editor did a fantastic job of utilizing various sources to create a sort of Got Talent reality show parody using various characters. I think my laugh of amusement was particularly loud when Vegta leaped on stage. The creator did a good job of creating a coherent, smooth presentation that worked seamlessly well, and the music was perfectly chosen for the visuals and concept.
「Ａï¼ï¼¶」Anime Mix- Murder Melody
This AMV caught my attention not to long ago, and was glad it did.
This AmV took a variety of images from different animes and combined it with just the right song to create a nice little macabre number that highlights some of the fun yet darker themes and images strewn out the popular animated medium.
One Piece AMV- Get Up.
This one is purely instrumental, but what is so enjoyable about it is the great imagery and editing choices from One Piece from finish to end with some great cinematic epic style music. You get not only a good sense of a story line here, which is something not always done in AMV's, but you get a sense of the emotion and connection that was part and partial of the cannon. This was a nice homage to the source material.
FARSCAPE - The Wonders I've Seen
The editor of this AMV did an amazing job in capturing the pure visual splendor that was this show, emphasizing the computer animation, animatronics, make-up artistry and puppet animation that made up Farscape.
I wasn't able to post the video here through the youtube selector, so click this link here, its well worth the watch, promise.
Steven Universe MV: Finale (Madeon)
This AMV was created by mkatwood, based again on the Steven Universe content, highlighted more the action unique/quirky visuals that the show was known for as well as the emotional connections.
The editing was very tight in this one, attention to transitions and the timing with particular attention to timing in relation to the lyrics and pace of the song, which was "Finale" by Madeon.
Team Gargoyles ( Teen Titans ) Fan Made Intro
This was a fun little fanmade intro that did a decent job combining Gargoyles with the Teen Titan intro.
the editor kept in mind the style of image presentation from Teen Titans, and did a decent job applying it to the Gargoyles imagery, everything was well timed with the intro lyrics, and an overall fun little number.
How Far We've Come - Gravity Falls AMV
This AMV did a good job at capturing the essence of the show Gravity Falls, by capturing some of the overarching narrative's darker themes with the humor and light heartedness as well as the weirdness that was this show. This was a nice homage to the end of a great show.
Bitter and Sick ✨Rick and Morty AMV
This AMV, while not exactly catching the humor of the source material, did do a good job in accenting the sort of tired nihilism that ran throughout the show, and chose a decent song to combine with the imagery to portray the overall concept quite well.
Miles Morales - This song saved my life
While this isn't technically from an animation, Miles Moralies was in an episode or two of the latest TV series incarnation of Spiderman, so it sort of counts.
What made this one in particular stand out was the good use of comic book images combined with the emotion of the song. It felt like a really good introduction into Miles, and his motivations as the new spider man.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my personal favorites, comment and let me know what your favorite amv's are.
