Yes. The site's specific purpose is cataloging ANIME music videos. Live action videos don't fall under that banner no matter how much people would like them to. Which makes the argument of the site's name not ridiculous, but entirely valid.

How is that a ridiculous argument? o_O

It's like because this place became such a convenient, popular, and well-run site dedicated to AMVs, it suddenly has an obligation to cater to everything outside of it's original scope.
Nobody is stopping anybody from making liveactionmusicvideos.org.

Prbably get shut down real quick... Unlike the companies for anime, the big studios don't turn a blind eye.... Fox use to shut down fan sites that have images without permission from thier showns!
Hence Live action MVs = underground

I think it would be more like going to Taco Bell and not being able to get a burrito. People who like one will probably like the other. Hence why I think it would be in the general interest of the community to introduce LAMVs into the catalogues. It's nothing more than evolution.
Besides, it's not as if I'm asking to host it locally or anything. I have my own hosting, I just want a place where I can give my work to people who will appreciate it.

now to add LAMVs that AMV makers had made to the catalog, imo, would be a step to far as well. But that's just my opinion.

For the record, that's just saying like you're going to AMVorg and not be able to find AMVs(b/c Taco Bell does serve burritos, I dunno if they're good or not, though :\.. ). LAMVs don't tie into this version of that analogy
Unlimited Rice wrote:You kind of make it sound like this whole evolving from AMVs to AMVs AND LAMVs is an obvious thing to do. From an overall 'fan-made music video' viewpoint it seems so, but from primarily an 'anime music video' viewpoint, most likely not. As long as Phade's interest is just to keep cataloguing only AMVs, then that's how it is. The 'evolving' concept is a nice deal to talk about, but it's not really necessary for this case.

But comparing Tacos and burritos is more akin to say, AMVs and MADs. Both fall under very similar fan-bases. Now, Burgers would constitute a very different and separate fan base from tacos. You may have people who like both, but that doesn't mean they should both be available at the taco bell. O:Epical Zamora wrote:Lol, didn't expect I would be arguing my Taco Bell analogy. XD I meant that tacos and burritos are in the same category (Mexican food) just like AMVs and LAMVs are (fan made music videos)

This site is DEDCIATED to AMVs and not all the genera that have music video made to it and that is the way it will most likely stay...
I've already also mentioned one of the issues if it was to become (there are a lot more), say, musicvideos.com as we would now have to deal with the North American studios and lawyers who would probably eat us alive... besides, this is the anime music video community so why change it unless we all feel it's no longer good enough for our needs...
And the fast food analogy is a moot point at best, it like arguing here that anime conventions should have live action TV shows and movies incorporated into them as well.. There is a reason they are what they are the community they serve…
