Remix This: Anime Gets Hijacked - Patrick Macias, Japan Times Online

After all, what could be possibly be dorkier than taking footage from Japanese animation, obsessively re-editing it to music, and calling it a new work of entertainment?...

"The Org (as editors refer to it) hosts around 120,000 AMVs that are directly downloaded (the preferred mode of distribution, as YouTube's sound and picture quality is inadequate) by more than 700,000 members."

Lol.

"People tend to write off AMVs as being uncreative," Cantoni says, "but there is a creative side to it, regardless if the video is awesome or not that great. Either way, someone has put their heart and soul into something they are enjoying. I think that anyone who is a fan just wants to create and work with the footage that they love."

I totally agree with this.

Interesting, to say the least.

I couldn't tell if the writer was truely sympathetic with us or if he/she was just on a slow news day.

I think its a pretty interesting read.
I think the author did a decent job of reporting on the subject. Its nice of them to point out exactly how dorky we all are. I'm not quite sure how to take that myself.

An informative and balanced take on the subject. I approve.
