I wish they were all that easy to find. I went through 14 R2 Bleach DVDs, spanning 3 opening sequences, without finding a single clean version of any of them. :cry:
I think the clean ops/eds are a "bonus" usually put on R1 disks.
I know this was discussed in some other thread...but I don't want to dig it up.

but yeah, some good stuff can come from ops/eds, the trick is finding clean ones.
I remember trying to make an animated gif signature using part of the gungrave op.
they didn't put clean ops/eds on the disks...so I just got lucky when the section I wanted had no credits

It ticks me off when the intro of a series is used as the intro to an AMV. It reminds me of a class video project I did. Nearly everyone started the video off with the Amsterdam clips because "A" clips were at the top of bin.

I've seen some pretty good amvs that only use intros and outros so I guess it doesn't matter to me about what footage is used as long as it's good

It depends how you use them, really. I don't like seeing them used in their entirity, but I can handle bits of them.. in my current video I'm using parts of the opening sequence in the first chorus alongside regular footage, and I think it's working quite well, rather than just having scenes pasted together to try and fit :)

Plus some opening sequences have scenes that never happen in the series. If it's not in the series you've gotta get it somewhere, right?

No, i was literally sad because i was hoping to find some of those clean openings. The animation quality is better in many cases and the scenes look generally more epic.

No need for sarcasm, yo. It was a very nice "Well, those of us who are better than you don't have it so easy, R1-buying noob," and I salute that. ;P

I used to do it, then I got really lazy and stopped doing intros to my videos since I felt it was more trouble than it's worth. Since then I just throw my name/studio name into the file name.

I <i>think</i> the thread is about anime opening sequences and using them in AMVs, not intros to AMVs themselves...
