I'm going to say that it is as polite to use anime footage as it is to use somone elses AMV as long as it is credited.
In many ways it's more rude to use anime because the ammount of work and people involved is greater. More people work on a animated series then even animix. It's more rude only if it is rude to use somone elses work. Since it is moral to use animated projects like tri-gun or evangelion without asking, as long as credit is given. Then it is just as moral to use another persons video without asking, as long as credit is given.

I tend to type with a light heart, and I forget that there's people who will take every word literally and unsalted. If it makes you feel better, I'll amend it to "I am of the opinion that the easy way is wrong 99.99999% of the time" (since that statement seems to have gotten up your nose). Better?
