Anime Movie Question
Hey there, as you can see I'm new to the forums. I only made one AMV so I'm somewhat new to that also. Anyways I have a question, when making an AMV on an 'Anime Movie' (not an episode), would it be illegal to use clips from it? I searched the forums like the rules told you to do before posting, and I couldn't find anything that answers this. An answer would be greatly appreciated.

Lol @ Moonie. Seriously, to answer your question, as long as it involves animation from Japan, you can use whatever you want. You can use anime episodes, you can use movies (Whether it be movies that don't have an anime attached to it like Princess Mononoke, movies attached to an anime like FMA Conqueror of Shambala, or movies attached to a Japanese video game like FFVII-Advent Children), you can use cut scenes from Japanese video games (like the Final Fantasy series). Hell, if you can get a vid to actually work using the manga as well, you can use that. But there is one part of the rules that you did miss.
4. Linked forum avatars shall not be larger than 80 pixels tall or 80 pixels wide, and no larger than 80kb in file size; any avatar image exceeding these limits will be removed from the sig file without warning.

Re: Anime Movie Question
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Forum rules "illegal" or actual law illegal? Either way, anime movies are treated exactly the same way as episodes, so when you search for those questions, you can assume that the answer applies the same way.plague69 wrote:Hey there, as you can see I'm new to the forums.

(I'm confused that they would be different... why would they?)

Anime (there is no distinction between episodes and movies, its all anime), is illegal to use and distribute in an AMV. However, the anime companies don't care. Most of them even encourage it.
The music companies are far more likely to care, and even they VERY rarely go after anyone. The worst case scenario would probably be that a company send you a letter asking you to remove your video from a website or something.
