A funny little tidbit

This forum is for the general discussion of Anime Music Videos.

Postby Cytherea » Sun Nov 06, 2005 2:44 am

arzuro, do you even really care for anime music videos at all? Or do you just find them distasteful? I know this topic is more about your friend, but after reading some of your other topic I find myself curious. :wink:

well, to each his own. The internet isn't suppose to be this easy to use entity that you can instantly find anything you were looking for - its more of a dumping ground that one has to weed thru to find what one was looking for in the first place. I don't think that it will ever be something that one can just enter a single term they are looking for and find it just like that.

Even though I don't particularily feel like I belong, I can't help but smile a little defiant smile when I think about that comment.


I'm sure that there are things that you or your cousin may do in your spare time that I'd bet some of us here would find 'weird' and/or clogs up the internet with useless information for others to go thru trying to find whatever they are looking for. Maybe you play video games, or CCG's, or wargame, or draw, or make topiary or whatever - you'll find there will always be someone who thinks that whatever someone does is just total crap. It all depends on your point of view. To each his own.

As a side note, I for one have a hard time believing this is just a thinly veiled attack on the A-M-V.org community - but this just might be me or the language thing. I don't know what your goal is by this and your other 'popular' post. I mean, you can:
1) help the community get better by providing opinions or even quick comments on each of these so called 'bad' videos so that you directly let the creator know what you liked or didn't like. This way you make your opinion heard and if you're in the right, maybe someone will actually take your comments to heart and make their next video different.
2) help the community get better by actually making what you consider the 'best AMV evar' and posting it us to show the rest of us how it should really be done
3) write off A-M-V.org as just a low point in your online life and move on as no one is begging you to stay or to go.

I know that maybe you were looking for 'good' videos initially, but I just sort of think that it was a secondary goal... at least that's the way it seems to a lot of us, IMHO but YMMV.

Finding many of arzuro's posts interesting (but not in a lot of ways agreeable) aside, I have to quite agree with 808-buma here. Whether or not you wanted to antagonise people, you're still doing it nonetheless.

'tis just my observations, after following your other thread with quite a bit of interest in watching just how others reacted to it :P

If your point to begin with is to get attention to yourself, then I tell, job well done ;)

Got to agree with this, along with Infinity Squared's post. What is the point of this thread? On the last page, you first claim that you didn't make this thread because you felt like AMVs should disappear. Then, as staces pointed out, you seemed to imply that they just create a bog, i.e. they should disappear since they're just making it harder to find what you want. Uhh... which is it? And either way, does it really matter? I'm not trying to sound rude, but I don't think anyone here really cares if it becomes harder to find a band's music videos because there are a lot of AMVs. No one considers that factor when they make an AMV (that I know of). If you were just saying that the presence of a lot of AMVs makes finding other types of videos harder as a general comment in passing... fine. Yeah, I suppose that it probably does. But if not... this thread is not really going to change anything. People will keep making them regardless.

I think the original poster is looking for a reaction like: "Wow, AMVs have gotten THAT popular, that it's difficult to find the song's original video? That makes me feel happy inside, yet debateable. I will dwell on this matter as I scratch my chin in a thought-provoking matter."

Actually I've heard "Mein Kampf" is an interesting read :P

Frankly, I couldn't care less what some total stranger thinks of AMVs. This is akin to high school "he said, she said" drama. So what if he doesn't like them ? The fact that his searches turn up AMVs first goes to show that their popularity has grown to the point where they are searched for more often than official music videos. C'est la vie. Really, I know you may mean well and are trying to provoke discussion, but there's just no room for it with that kind of topic.

Perhaps an expanded search string might ease his confusion and frustration.
