- Host Club AMV - Boys - I was wandering around looking for shiny new Hamster Dance AMVs (shut up, it's an addiction, I need help, I swear) and found this wonderful, wonderful gem. Host Club! AMV! With upbeat music and the rapid pace of the clips totally match both the frantic feel of the series (without being too frantic) and the song choice is great and I was entranced the entire time I watched it. God, this just fills me with even more lost for Host Club, I tell you. And if this is the artist's first video? Wow, I want more from them! :O!
- Host Club AMV - Wannabe - So I found the previous Host Club AMV. Well, naturally, I had to type in "host club amv" into YouTube and see what else I could find! I watched this one and then promptly had to hit the pause button because I was laughing too hard inside of thirty seconds. Host Club. Spice Girls. Wannabe. Beautiful lip synching and fast-paced clips and fantastic choices. AWESOME. It just does not let up with the brilliant perfection of it throughout the entire thing and, god, it's another one of those AMVs where I suddenly absolutely crave more of the series, more episodes, more fic, more art, more manga, whatever! It's just so... perfect. - Host Club AMV - Tamaki = Love Fool - I was amused by the cute AMV for awhile, not the kind that would make me swirl around the room with heart-shaped eyes, but solid. But then. Oh, god, then. In the lyrics, it gets to the part with "Mama told me not to bother~~" (referring to trying to win over the love) with a shot of Kyouya being cool and Tamaki flailing in the background and I died. That one moment alone makes it fabulous. But the rest of it is adorable, too, some good clip choises, a really nice use of the sparkles and spinning roses to match the fluffy lyrics, all that. ♥ - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Lifestyles Of The Ouran Host Club - Admittedly, there's a lot about this video that could have been better, pacing and clip selection are especially... not bad, but not great, either. I'm recommending it anyway because it shows a lot of promise (and I'd like for the artist to make more <3) and because the concept just tickles me somehow. The song choice is a good one and it's a very watchable AMV, I managed to get all the way through it, which happens with about only half of the AMVs I watch. Plus, it's fun to watch Tamaki spaz to "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and utterly NOT GET that he's so different. XD - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Tamaki Feels Pretty - One of the interesting things about not watching the Host Club anime is that the footage is almost always new to me or not overwhelmed with the original context, so when I watch an AMV like this, it's even more neat. And just. Hahahahaha, brilliant song choice for Tamaki, some great clips (it occasionally falters, but there are other times where it's just perfect, so it all balances out), and overall it's FUN and NEAT, just like you'd want a Host Club AMV to be. Especially great because I can totally see Tamaki singing this and, you know, I went <3 <3 <3 a lot at the ending. ♥ - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Tamaki and Haruhi's Flying Car Dilemma - So, you wouldn't think that conversation from the Clerks movie, the one about the flying car, would be a good fit with a series like Host Club, but this was kind of awesome. The lip synching is really solid and the expressions/body language fit well with the tone of the voices, so you can almost imagine they actually are having this conversation. But it's the little touches that really make the video, the little pictures of cars or the world that they insert at the right time so that I ended up having to very, very carefully not roll around on the floor in fits of laughter. - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Host Club Boom Boom - This is one of those AMVs that had a few moments where it wasn't perfect, but the rest of it was somehow just beautiful. A little bit crack parody, a little bit seriousness, just like the mix of a Host Club AMV should be. It's upbeat, it's fun, it's got some great lip synching moments, certain moments in the video are fantastic, it uses the broad, sweeping clips of the series really well, the credits usage to match the beat of the song is fantastic, and it makes me fall in love with every single character all over again. It's one of those that's a great blend of song choice and artist's execution of the concept, the kind that pumps me up for the series all over again. Just. Just. Flailing and love, man. - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Honey's True Nature - .....LOL. I have a great love of Hunny's true nature (I love that he totally eggs the rest of the club on through cute antics, that he's totally not serious half of the time) and so this AMV came along at just the right time, in just the right way that it made me laugh like a loon. The clip/song choices are great, especially contrasted against each other as they are. It's just. Oh, god. So funny. When the second song kicks in and Hunny goes into his dark mood, it's just brilliant. The image of Hunny "singing" those lyrics... asd;ljalsd;fjals, hahahahahaha *rolls around* - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Boys and Girls - There's just something about Host Club that goes so well with Aqua music, which is totally making my morning here because I love Aqua music. (To probably a bizarre degree.) This is a really solid AMV, it's got a few of those quiet little moments that make me squee, like Mori/Haruhi scenes during the "I think you could use a little smile" lyrics, which is just totally appropriate. Or tons of Tamaki being dramatic during the more fast-paced parts of the songs, lots of uses of the sparklies and roses in the animation and it's just... really fun. - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Can't Touch This - You know, I'm not really that fond of this song, much less constantly hearing the Family Guy version over and over (yet I have a sickness in that I keep deliberately looking for them), but the clips chosen for this one are awesome. Tamaki's goofy antics, whether he's doing the "worm" or the "Peter Griffin bump" or parking in other people's spots (well, you know what I mean), this has some of the most appropriate clips I've seen. I really wound up enjoying this one a lot more than I expected to! :D - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Uptown Girl(s) - I admit, I was a little wary to click on this AMV since it's not my pairing, but... I also have to say that I laughed the entire way through the video. (Also, there really wasn't any other way to cast the whole thing.) It's just. Tamaki. Tamaki as the Uptown Girl and the clips chosen are solid enough that I got several laughs out of this one. The text across the screen is just somehow so damn funny, too--it helps that the artist didn't push the text too often, so instead it was funny the whole way through. - Ouran Koukou Host Club AMV - Tamaki man of love - asdlkfjalsd;al;ksflkj, holy shit, those were some beautifully chosen clips for this song. I mean. The song itself is just egocentric enough that I laughed and laughed at Tamaki singing it, but it's the way the artist managed to either lip synch just enough clips or make clips that were previously mostly innocent into horribly dirty, dirty things. It's beautiful, really. Note: Some not work-safe content in this video, both in terms of the way the footage was manipulated and the lyrics.
