Aluminium Studios, Dreams of Red, was the first AMV I ever saw.
It was sent to me by someone a good 6 years ago now, I think. Pretty ironic, because I'd never seen Sailor Moon, I didn't know what AMVs were and I hadn't yet heard the song (Desert Rose, by Sting). However, I was a Sting fan (and a Police fan, for that matter), asked my acquaintance for details on the song and went out and bought the album.
Obviously, I didn't know it was an AMV, although I found it very atmospheric, even though I'd never seen Sailor Moon. After that... I think the next time I saw an AMV was a few months ago - just before, or just after Christmas.
I've been exposed to music videos for non-anime fandoms for a few years - but AMVs specifically I'm pretty new to.
Obviously, I retain a huge soft spot for Dreams of Red to this day... I did try to watch Sailor Moon to find out who Sailor Mars was, but I've only seen a couple. I'm definitely not a Sailor Moon fan, even if I do like Aluminium Studios Sailor Moon-themed AMVs.
