AMVs never went anywhere. They just got so damn good people don't even identify them as AMVs anymore.https://youtu.be/YT2SWT8rQvw?si=ln_qGvYda9G-tSu_
>>285706160Nijika is real
>>285706160There is also whatever the fuck it is that Kurosai is doing. I wouldn't call it an AMV per-say, but its certainly fucking somethinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqVaYEQIWzk
Bocchi the reddit will never have the same level of soul as actual AMVs. Seethe and cope.
>>285708115link an actual AMV
>>285708115>an actual AMVAnon, do you know what an AMV is or are you using that acronym because you're trying to fit in with everyone else?

>>285708115it's quite funny how amvs were seen as absolutely embarrassing at the time they were made, but now that we're nearly two decades removed from them, some people in nu-/a/ see the videos through rose tinted glasses, or maybe some irony poisoned kids who are younger than said videos look at them with admiration since they were actually genuine although still fucking embarrassing
>>285708891It helps that most of the truly garbage AMVs have fallen off the internet, leaving behind the ones worth preserving.Also, in this AI-slop hellscape we live in now, the effort and skill that goes into making even a mid AMV is genuinely worthy of respect. As opposed to today's "content" which is just posting someone else's video with 2 lines of auto-generated text superimposed on it and calling it a "reaction", or asking ChatGPT to make something for you and having low enough standards to think that the lifeless, amorphous homonculi it births at your command is in any way worth of praise or even pleasing to look at.

>>285706160Yep. Most refer to them as edits today. Which is technically correct since they are edits of other materials, but it often conflicts with the shorter length ones.Still, I wish I saved the older ones I used to watch. At the very least it will be nice to know which ones got deleted and which ones remained.
>>285708891But why are you projecting so hard, Bocchi the redditard? I liked AMVs when I was a kid and I like AMVs now. Not because you are/were an ironic weeb embarrassed of your own tastes and hobbies mean everyone was. We have AMV threads on /a/ from time to time and people post their low-quality 144p favorite AMVs all the time - if you don't have any because back then you were a redditor laughing at "cody in da house is my favorite anime" ironic memes that's only on you.
>>285706160If you're counting these as amvs, there's a whole lot of animations that fall into the category, there's a bunch of random video edits and fan animations that people still do, people have gotten a lot better at video editinghttps://youtu.be/lpYJTHql1ho?si=fnrDn_qZF5g2YU6R
never forget what they took from ushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx6_MWVHZ4g
>>285711040This reminded me of the good ol´ Karton, but it seems to have vanished from youtube.
>>285710352Please learn what projection means, my dear aspiring psychoanalyst, it's a little more involved than the fancy substitute for "no u" you're using. Once you learn what it means, realize not a word I said qualifies as projection since I found amvs silly then as I find them now, whereas the two groups I mentioned do enjoy amvs as of now, either because of lived experience leading to nostalgia, associating the silly videos to a time when this board wasn't so shit and anime wasn't as mainstream, or as some kind of youth fascination held for an idealized, more sincere past>I liked AMVs when I was a kid and I like AMVs nowRight, sorry, I was referring to people who were a little older at the time and came to change their minds, I forgot to account for the third group, the kids who didn't know any better then and are now nostalgic for it. Do you fall in that group? I may have been watching anime for longer than you've been alive, then>We have AMV threads on /a/ from time to time etcI know, I was referring to them as well if you haven't realized>Not because you are/were an ironic weeb embarrassed of etcI will admit anime is a guilty pleasure, because I know there is better art out there, but I like some of it sincerely, and this is part of the reason I think amvs are stupid, it's just a bunch of disconnected scenes with the context and pacing removed from the director's intention with little tunes sprinkled on top>if you don't have any because back then you were a redditor laughing at "cody in da house is my favorite anime" ironic memes that's only on youI don't have any favorites because I found them silly as I find them now. Will you ever realize not everyone who thinks you're embarrassing is a reddit boogeyman? I don't visit reddit and I have no exposure to "cody in da house" because I am not american, but I'd wager the avms I disliked then are much older than "ironic memes", so... you might be mistaking for someone else
