From the AMV Hell Website:

SSGWNBTD takes over in order to bring new life to AMV Hell. I asked him to write a description of the project, which follows:
“It’s a video.”

AMV Hell is known for displaying some the worst, usually intentional, Anime Music Video’s created by human beings. Usually these AMV’s deal with mature subject matter that is not suited for minors. However, AMV Hell 5 is unique amongst the AMV Hell series as it is relatively (emphasis on the word relatively) safe for consumption by a younger audience.

Link of the Week: BAKA’s Review Site

One of the best services that Banzai Anime Klub of Alberta offers to the public is it’s rating list.

It is said that on Friday at an undisclosed location, BAKA’s elite Otaku gather together and rate the latest shows to be released from fan subs. Each show is judged on a scale of -5 (worst) to +5 (best) and averaged from all the Otaku that are present.

What makes this system unique from all the other rating systems, is that the anime club tries to provide ratings for the first episode of a series AND the entire series. So with this system you’d know that a show like Eden of the East starts off good (score of 3.3 for ep1) but only gets better with each episode (series rated at 4.7). And another show like Pumpkin Scissors starts off strong (score of 3.4 for ep1) but overall drops in quality (series score of 2.7).

It’s a great resource for anyone wanting to find a new series or is just wondering if a show is worth their time.
