I ended up just abusing my schools T1 and CD burners. All for anime music videos. Like, 90% of it was dragon ball z and Linkin park mashups. My schools IT department hated me.
Not lost at all. There’s anime cons all over the world hosting yearly AMV competitions and that stuff blows Linkin Park DBZ clipshows out of the water. Sadly the internet at large isn’t as obsessed with them as 15 years ago. I just looked at a playlist of competition entries and they were all sub-1k views on Youtube. More people must have seen them at the various cons.
I made an AMV over half my life ago. A few of them actually. Got over 250k views on my most popular one, 30k on others. YouTube even offered me partner which I didn’t accept because I sure as fuck didn’t own the rights to the media I used.
The channel and videos no longer exist, but these were the AMVs:
The 250k: Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed vs. Mustang (Move - Thousand Foot Krutch)
Naruto, Haku and Zabuza (Daughtry - It’s Not Over)

But in the end, it doesn’t even matter.
AMVs are a lost art
