Hmm...Well I know that I used to hate Naruto due to it's annoying cosplayers at all cons until I saw this one Amv but saddly I don't know who made it. And now I have to watch naruto every time I see an amv for it...which is alot.

Y'know, it's funny, since I was just thinking earlier that RahXephon was probably the first anime I've truly enjoyed just watching in a long while. I mean, yeah, I already have ideas of what I want to do with it, and it is an example of something I found through AMVs (unless my memories of seeing it at Best Buy and wanting to watch it back in 2003 happened before I saw the DE-SIRE video), but I actually did primarily watch it for enjoyment once I got past the first few episodes.

I still enjoy watching anime. I'm new to making AMVs, though; maybe it takes a while for the cynicism to kick in.

This AMV inspired my go and buy Shamanic Princess. I'd seen the series before and enjoyed it, but was still undecided about whether to purchase the anime. The video gave me a 'push' to go out and buy it.

Soooo many series i have bought just for footage. I have probobly seen 90% of the anime i have and hear 50% of it. I dont need no sound when im editing , atleast not from the show.

But im with every one else, i would be out if i wasnt making videos. i would maybe have like 2 series, anything else could be netflixed.

Thank fansubs and AMVs for a lot of my anime purchases.. well probably most of them. Trigun, Love Hina, Vandread, etc I got after watching the whole series fansubs. Also since I edit to anime I have more of a need to purchase anime.. also I've got into a few series after first seeing them in an AMV.

I don't see how amvs could discourage sales of music or anime.. law enforcers better stay away from our butts.

I ended up getting Metal Fighter Miku after Flux's MM1 Megaman video and I hated it.

To avoid that, and because I'm still poor, AMV's will sell me on a fansub, the fansub will then sell me the anime.

I figured out who what Naruto video it was..It was Toushi...not sure who the creator was though.

It would actually be shorter to list what I DIDN'T buy based on amvs.

Looking at my dvd collection I don't have many amvs that caused me to buy the dvds. At most it peaked interest to check out the show then maybe I bought it. To me I still buy dvds for the shows and it's an extra bonus if I can use it for footage.
