Because I don't think her bad ones were as bad as now, and I don't think her awesome PVs are as awesome as the old ones...

I was about to go into a long winded paragraph but you managed to sum up my thoughts exactly in two sentences. lol
While I agree that the budgets are higher and the PV's look "slicker" the amount of crap between the awesome PV's have widen. Yeah, they're better than the "early" years... actually, while there were a few gems beforehand, her videos (visually and conceptually) didn't really get great (or even good) until RAINBOW if you ask me. From that album onwards, crap was very few and far in between up until GUILTY. (don't) leave me alone was admittedly a pretty crappy PV though I happen to love it (cause Ayu just looks so gorgeous and fierce throughout) and I just didn't care for glitter/fated/decision at all. So I'd say that era is when a "decline" started for me as since then, a pattern of 2 outstanding PVs per album has been occurring (talkin 2 myself/Marionette, GREEN/Rule, DLB/BALLAD). Again (like in last month's 'decline' thread lol), it just one of those cases of an artist setting a high bar for herself and then when she 'reverts' or settles for just being good, it gets felt by some fans.
Also, the "u r stating ur opinion as tru fax!!11!" arguments have grown absolutely redundant and are now little more than mere excuses to try to disprove a person's views. Let it be known that all opinions are stated as fact because they are
in fact your opinions. And when a person uses "I" when stating that opinion (as the OP did) it can be assumed they are ONLY speaking of themselves and when they ask "what do you think?" they are asking for yours which they assume will probably be different from theirs because again, they were initially
NOT speaking for everybody. Like seriously, it isn't rocket science just basic understanding of human language. And yes, I'm speaking in general and to some of the people in this thread.
