high as fuck death note AMV ranking

exactly what it sounds like. got high as balls and watched death note AMVs until i was sick of them and then ranked all of them. Embedded links so u can all witness them as well. enjoy pls i learned html for this

• 17.Hot 'N' Cold
The insinuation that L is the sole issue when it comes to LawLight and lowkey arm diagnosing him with bipolar... straight up genius happening here
• 16.Boulevard of Broken Dreams
The time and effort that went into this... The hand recorded audio is honestly kind of delightful. You can tell this person's favorite character is L, and that's a beautiful thing. I think a little more attention to detail with the scene selection could've benefitted this AMV greatly, but all in all it's quite pawsome.
• 15.Paparazzi
Instant points for putting Misa front and center where she belongs, but ultimately loses me a bit with sloppy editing. I absolutely see the vision.
• 14.Helena
The buildup here was soooo so good. The bridge of the song being edited to L's death, the end being his and Light's Jesus and Judas moment.... just impeccable. Some weird timing is preventing me from ranking it higher, though :(
• 13.Telephone
Points for the Family Guy font and having Light come in at Beyonce's verse. like where even am i right now.
• 12.Every Time We Touch
Brought me back to my Flipnote days and spawned an entire Sonic the Hedgehog Death Note AU in my head. What the fuck by the way. Peak in every conceivable aspect.
• 11.Love The Way You Lie
Absolute banger and I love when LawLight is toxic (always).
• 10.Party in the USA
If nothing else I need to give this an award for being the most fun out of any of the AMVs I watched tonight. MAJOR props for including more characters than just the core three!!
• 9.Wake Me Up When September Ends
I'm biased bc i love this song sooooo much but it really did make me grieve for my pookies like ohhhh Misa and L i love u :(( and light too i guess whatever. Major points for giving my GOAT Matsuda the spotlight for a moment. That's what really got this in the top 10 for me. Absolute legend.
• 8.Applause
Holy FUCK. 100000000/10 don't even argue with me i'm serious
• 7.Thnks Fr Th Mmrs
Found this one just when i was thinking that FOB would be perfect for Death Note AMVs, and it did NOT disappoint. They really did pay attention to the thematic relevance of the lyrics to both the story overall and specifically to LawLight. This one is the start of genuine peak.
• 6.Bodies
The aura this shit has is THROUGH. THE. ROOF. Having it start and end with Ryuk is sooooo fucking good. Also the fact that this person's username was Iscariat Production when this was made like oh i KNOW you know ball. fuck this is good.
• 5.Grenade (cover)
I was initially put off by this being a cover but it almost immediately redeemed itself. Such a good portrayal of Misa and Light's relationship dynamics, and by god i'll say it: the fact that this is a cover strengthens it. I love everything about this.
• 4.Thnks Fr Th Mmrs (again)
This is an OLDER Thnks Fr Th Mmrs AMV that actually was tied with the first one at first! The more I thought about it though, this one completely blew the other one out of the water (no shade). The use of L's death on "been looking forward to the future", and Light's on "it's always cloudy except for when you look in to the past" is BRILLIANT. Features toxic LawLight. Features toxic MisaLight. Does NOT neglect MisaRem. Brilliant, flawless execution. It really doesn't get much better than this.
• 3.Judas
OH MY GOD. Extremely ahead of its time. They really just do not make them like this anymore. The focus on Misa here and the masterful scene selection... hang it in the Louvre. She was GUNNING for a top 3 spot.
• 2.Centuries
The FOB ones have killed it tonight!!! This person has mastered the art of connecting the lyrics to the scene. MelloMatt on "you look so pretty but you're gone so soon"????? Absolute fucking cinema. The only complaint is lack of Misa.
• 1.The Man Who Sold The World
Perfection. Completely flawless. I've always thought this song would fit Light sooo well. Really drives home that the first person Kira killed was Light. Dutch angles the fuck outta that boy. Portrays his descent sooo good. And the visuals??? The overlays were sooo awesome sauce. Dare i say it's the definitive Light AMV? It fought hard for this number one spot, and it won.
