As far as definition goes live action yes.. all animation not quite

"The Japanese term for animation is アニメーション (animēshon, pronounced: /ɑnimɛːʃɔn/), written in katakana. It is a direct transliteration of the English term "animation." The Japanese term is abbreviated as アニメ (anime, pronounced: /ɑnimɛ/ ). Both the original and abbreviated forms are valid and interchangeable in Japanese. The term is a broad one, and does not specify an animation's nation of origin or style.

In turn, the English word anime is a transliteration of the abbreviated version of this Japanese term, and it is typically pronounced as /ˈænɪˌmei/. As with a few other Japanese words such as Pokémon and Kobo Abé, anime is sometimes spelled as animé in English with an acute accent over the final e to cue the reader that the letter is pronounced as [e]. For example, "Abé" can be mistaken as a nickname for Abraham without the accent, which wouldn't pronounce the last letter.

Internationally, anime once bore the popular name Japanimation, but this term has fallen into disuse. It saw the most usage during the 1970s and 1980s, which broadly comprise the first and second waves of anime fandom. The term survived at least into the early 1990s but seemed to fade away shortly before the mid-1990s anime resurgence. In general, the term now only appears in nostalgic contexts. The term Japanimation is much more commonly used in Japan to refer to domestic animation. Since anime or animeshon is used in Japan to describe all forms of animation regardless of national origin, Japanimation is meant to distinguish Japanese work from that of the rest of the world.

In more recent years, anime has also frequently been referred to as manga in Europe, a practice that may stem from the Japanese usage. In Japan, manga refers to both animation and comics. Among English speakers, manga usually has the stricter meaning of "Japanese comics". An alternate explanation is that it is due to the prominence of Manga Entertainment, a distibutor of anime to the US and UK markets. This term is much more common in Europe since Manga Entertainment started out in the UK.

The voice actors for anime usually bear the Japanese equivalent designation, seiyū."

Perhaps we should just call the site mangamusicvideos.org or japanimationmusicvideos.org but since it's called animemusicvideos.org sources that arent considered by the site to be anime are considered it depending on the definition you go off of.

The Wikipedia article..

I know this because I've read the thing. Probably edited it too, although if I did, it was a long time ago.

In any case, the pasted segment has nothing to do with this. The term "anime" is both:

(1) popularly understood to refer to Japanese animation
(2) is defined as such by this site

If you want to have a war of semantics, you can, but save it for the Wikipedia discussion page on the anime article. Or you start your own video hosting site. (That'd be funny to see, especially since most of the people complaining horribly underestimate the scope of a-m-v.org.)

I think it's pretty clear that the administration of this one isn't going to budge.

if not, then i think it is extreamly closed mined of the owners of this site not to let these artists an outlet for there art

how whould you feel if you had no place to share your work?

You know, there was life before a-m-v.org. There were even AMVs, generally hosted by the creators' own web hosting. Then one day, the creator of the site thought, hey there's no centralized catalog of all of these, I bet there are some real gems that no one knows about! So what did he do? He MADE HIS OWN SITE. Feel free to make your own site and host whatever you want. Are we close-minded for only focusing on anime music videos? No, we just decided to make a site that concentrates on them and we're sticking to what we think we can do best.

If you have such problems finding someone to host your work for you, then do it yourself. No one is stopping you. If you're complaining about not being able to find other people's work, that burden is on the creators themselves to find/create their own hosting to make their work available to others. It is not our responsibility and never will be.

Almost as close-minded as those people from rapmusic.com. Those jerks don't have anything about country music on their website! And then goddamn countrymusic.com doesn't have anything about rap music on theirs! When will they learn!?
