(Partial) AMVs on Magazine Coverdisk

Postby dokidoki » Sun Aug 25, 2002 1:04 am

(Definition for those that don't know: Coverdisk - CD that comes with a magazine, on the cover, like game demos that come with some computer/console magazines)

At an anime showing today, a bilingual member brought in some anime magazines from France, as usual. One of them had a coverdisk, and he gave it to me during break so I could check out some game on it. But I saw on the sleeve "Anim(sic) Music Videos" and "Discover the phenomenon" (in French) on it. I tried to find the files on the disk directly, but was thrown off by the number of DAT files. (it was in VCD format, I believe, and had a lot of other anime promo material on it)

The magazine is "Otaku", published by Groupe fjm. It was No.7, the July/August issue. It included 30-second portions of the following videos. (I didn't watch them all, but they didn't seem to necessarily start from the beginning of the video)

[square brackets are my additions]

JB - Akira - Symphony of Destruction [Feanor]
Kevin Caldwell - Miyu - Goldeneye
Laputa - Forever Young [Michael Ko]
Les ailes d'homeamise - Theme Star Trek [Ingress Productions]
Liberi Fatali (Giant Robot(sic) clip) [Kusoyaro]
Miyazaki's Heaven - My Blue Heaven by Smashing Pumpkins [Kusoyaro]
On Your Mark [Studio Ghibli]
Saint Seyia(sic) - Sombra - Challenging A God

I flipped through the mag and didn't see anything about AMVs. (I thought most coverdisk mags had a page describing what's on the disk) And perhaps I missed some text on the CD or something, but Kusoyaro/the other names weren't mentioned anywhere. (unless there was a title screen on videos I didn't see) When I told Hsien, he was like "wtf?", so I assume it's the same for the others.

Just bringing another point of distribution to peoples' attention.

I agree, but wonder how far things are going to go. :) I just wanted to let people know, and see what people thought. I guess the 30-second thing was at least partly to try and get around music copyright problems. It was rather unexpected. (to me, anyway)

What I find shocking is the fact that France has an anime magazine at all!

Given the selection of French manga around here (mostly from Glenat) and some magazines I've seen, I believe it's quite big there. It wouldn't surprise me that anime is too.

I looked for a copy of Otaku magazine for myself, but couldn't find one... I picked up the first issue of Japan Mania instead. I found it amusing to see on the cover "Qui sont les fansubbers?"

It actually has a four page article on fansubbers (and mentions fansub ethics, ie: no distribution after the show is licensed in France), and gives links to 5 French fansub groups. There's also a two page article on downloading anime. I wonder if they'll talk about AMVs next. :)

I find it surprising that they picked such mediocre videos. Are non-members of the AMV community that easily impressed?

Two, actually. I guess Hsien doesn't think too highly of his work. *Shrugs* Either that, or it was some of his very early stuff.

Well, it just seems like all of the creators on the CD have done better work, and others who aren't on the CD have done better still. It's just a very middle-of-the-road selection. I mean, of Caldwell's work, WHY GOLDENEYE?
