BLUE BIRD - OK, this one is kinda meh, but it does suit the song nicely and the JP people loved it.
Startin' - Meh... Not Ayu. I agree this isn't a good PV.
Beautiful Fighters - Cute, suits the song, good PV.
Born To Be... - Need I say more? Bad.
momentum - Great PV, nice concept and plot twist. Great atmosphere.
---- GUILTY
(don't) Leave me alone - I actually really like this one, but I guess it could be seen as boring.
Marionette - Awesome PV, concept, artistic. Amazing atmosphere.
talkin' 2 myself - Good, nice choreography, suits the song.
decision - OK, bad. But not "looking pretty".
glitter & fated - At least they tried, right?
Together When... - Nice scenes, artistic, nice concept.
Idk, I'm not really seeing many bad PVs. Mirrorcle World was pretty nice, too.

I really didn't think there was a single great PV on Guilty. Marionette I have always felt is kind of overrated. Talkin' 2 Myself and Together When are good, but not in the great category. On Secret, Momentum and 1 Love were the best, but still not fantastic imo. All in all, when you compare her PVs of the last two years to her previous ones they just aren't anywhere near as good I don't think. Really, prior to 2006 I thought that her only sub par PVs were B&D, Pride, and maybe a few off of a Song For Xx - other than that she had 7 years of PVs that ranged from good to amazing, many of which leaned towards the amazing side. Then, I just don't know what happened the last two years other than that she used Takehide Ishii waaaay too much and stopped using the more creative people like Kouki Tange. Or maybe people that weren't so creative, but at least knew how to light a shot and use interesting angles and good camera work like Isou and Takeishi.
btw, is there any word on who is shooting the PVs for Green/Days? Please don't let it be Takehide Ishii, Please don't let it be Takehide Ishii, Please don't let it be Takehide Ishii, Please don't let it be Takehide Ishii.
Edit: I will add though, that Jewel is very pretty and all the shots are lovely. It just shows once again how good Wataru Takeishi is with a camera. So it's a pretty PV, but I don't really have great apprecation for it beyond that.
