Otaku Dictionary: AMV


AMV basically stands for Anime Music Video

An anime music video (AMV) is a music video consisting of clips from one or more animations set to an audio track (often songs or movie/show trailer audio); the term usually refers to fan-made unofficial videos. An AMV can also be a set of video gamefootage put together with music which is known as a GMV. A newer format of AMVs including or comprising solely of non-anime or gaming footage called animashing has also started to gain popularity.[citation needed]
AMVs are not official music videos released by the musicians, but are rather amateur fan compositions which synchronize edited video clips with an audio track. AMVs are most commonly posted and distributed informally over the Internet. Anime conventions frequently run AMV contests or AMV exhibitions. While AMVs traditionally use footage taken from anime, video game cut-scene footage is also a popular option.[1] Music used in AMVs is extremely diverse, using such genres as J-Pop, rock, hip hop, pop, R&B, country, and many others.

AMVs should not be confused with music videos that employ original, professionally made animation (such numerous music videos for songs by Iron Maiden), or with such short music video films (such as Japanese duo Chage and Aska's song "On Your Mark" that was produced by the film company Studio Ghibli). AMVs should also not be confused with fan-made "general animation" videos using non-Japanese animated video sources like western cartoons, or with the practice of vidding in Western media fandom, which evolved convergently and has a distinct history and fan culture. "Anime music videos" are a sub-genre of the more general "animated music videos". Parallels can be drawn between AMVs and songvids, non-animated fan-made videos using footage from movies, television series, or other sources.

Here's an example


Well, this is just a mini-post. That's all for now (ehehe)

Atheism and Religion (Rant #8)

Here are two things that never get together Mr. Atheist and Mr. Religious.

"Oh, golly" said Mr. Religious, "Another day to spend time with the almighty Jesus Christ" Mr. Religious said.
You know what, I'll tell you this. Sometimes I ask myself this, "Why do people believe in religion?"

Don't really know, probably those people who believe in that kind of thing, believes that there is an "INVISIBLE MAN" up in the skies and he also has TEN LAWS! that you must NOT DO! and if you DO! any of those TWELVE LAWS, YOU will be sent to a SPECIAL PLACE that is full of pain, sorrow, hate, fire, heat... But the interesting part is.. HE LOVES YOU.

I don't know anything about bullshit stories but religion probably pulled out the BEST bullshit story I have ever seen in my entire life. As some of you may know, I don't really believe in religion, since I can't see the so called "GOD"... When I reached the age of reason, which was about like 10 - 12 years old, I learned not to believe in GOD because he was full of shit.

No, seriously. That's what I actually thought about GOD. Seriously, if you're god loves you all he would've saved Jackie over there who just got shot by a 50.cal, got hit by a spinning BURNING vehicle, got splashed by GAS, and as a result got 3rd fucking degree burns and also had a large ass bullet wound in the head. Yeah, that's the kind of thing you should say if you're an atheist to a religious nut.

Think about it, religion actually convinced people that there is something to hope for when you're dead and also again, religion actually convinced people that there is an INVICIBLE MAN. I would love to look at someone who is religious and read this.

Anyway, I remember my mom asking me to go to CHURCH. Which was like ALL THE TIME, because I have a reputation of NEVER going to CHURCH, because I DON'T CARE whether GOD rised from the dead or not. Because I know, none of this are TRUE, did you really thought that, whatever the hell that priest said is TRUE? You must be fucking joking me. I also always question the LOGIC in religion, If god was really powerful then, what the fuck is he doing?! He's just sitting there doing nothing while this EARTH is turning into shit (Wars are going on, Killing spree's, Rapist, Kidnappers, Killers, All that shit)

You know what, god's resume is full of shit, he doesn't deserve a job of being a SUPREME BEING. He doesn't do shit, a SUPREME BEING can do ANYTHING at his WILL! like the line "Thy will be done"
I have lots of people I know(They call me friends but I don't consider them as FRIENDS) and they're all religious nutjobs, they will freaking talk to me about the god sometimes and I would just stand and get the hell out of that conversation and I only say this one line "Sorry but, I don't believe in god"

They would just stare at me and look angry for saying such a thing and they would ask me to explain but whatever the fuck explanation I give, they would just put my explanation down and rip it apart and they would comeback with convincing me that god fucking exists. Why did you not believe in god? I hear you ask, because when I was a child I believed in GOD without questioning anything in this world I just believed in him and as I was growing up, I see a lot of shit that GOD COULD'VE DONE but he DIDN'T do anything, which made my strong belief weaken and weaken until I completely lost belief in GOD.

They said never question anything just believe in god, but that's freaking impossible, with my BRAIN that is always pointed towards LOGIC, Common sense, Science, Realism, I can never go back to religion. That thing taught me to never question him and myself, which is like another way to be an IDIOT.

Yes, many religious people are IDIOTS, they just stand there and pray while someone is dying of a non-working liver. But not all of them are IDIOTS, but they still don't use their brain to stop believing in such a bullshit story like RELIGION. Also I asked myself, "WHO THE FUCK WROTE THE BIBLE?!"
If I knew whoever the hell wrote the bible, I will personally go to his grave, dig him/her out and BURN HIM IN A SCREAMING HOT FURNACE UNTIL HIS/HER BONES WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN.

I would rather believe in a religion where I can see the GOD-itself (Haruhism most likely) But I know, It would go against logic to believe in an anime character, I would say this, "It also goes against logic to believe in a man you can't see" now it's just a matter of which is less idiotic, I would go for HARUHISM.

Well my point here is, I would believe in religion if one day they can actually make SHIT happen instead of just PRAYERS that happen on SUNDAYS, WHICH IS YOUR GOD'S DAY OFF.



That's all for this rant
