a few small things i need to nit pick on.

the word "spiritual" being associated with amvs (emotional is still fine. maybe i just have a problem with the word spiritual being associated with anything though).

and about no epic anime getting released.
i think theres always been a consistent flow of both shitty and good anime.

strange hearing an american rip on another culture? isn't that how it's always been? i think we rip on other cultures more than anyone

with those exceptions, i agree.

I agree to the definition of amvs, you use art in a duplicate manner - music and anime and therefore tribute to the source in a way.
when trying to make so-called art - if being effects or original stuff in amvs, you go beyond the definition but in a sense deny amvs AND art as you're attempting to get others original stuff to express your own originality.

reflecting this idea on myself, I can easily be one of those fx-whores as far as amvs go, but- seen on an artsy level, I'm simultaneously creating a video entirely based on my own original animations therefore creating art in itself, which makes the expression of originality and personality legitimate - not ina law-type manner, but in an artistic sense.

amvs are so far not more of a byproduct although I take the community I'm wavering in quite seriously.
original art is the way I am and will express myself with. I doubt there'd be a change to that although it takes a fucktons of time to finish stuff. a nice bonus effect of learning all the fx programs like I do is the fact that digital manipulation, colouring etc of your original art becomes easier - which then validates learning these programs to be an artistic progress in a way.
my thoughts on the topic - more or less. I guess I could go in detail, but I'll leave it as is for now.

"Thing about mads... mads are everything that is wrong about everything."

I laughed really hard.

Also "It's either Shinji or it's fucking Guts."

That was absolutely beautiful.

It's really late... er... early.. for me, so I don't remember most of what I just listened to specifically, though I remember agreeing with big chunks of it, and understanding the angle you were hitting at when I didn't.

Part of why I haven't been able to make an AMV in the past two years is because I just can't seem to push myself in the right direction creatively for them, I can't seem to conceptualize anything that would be engaging enough to hold my attention long enough for me to complete the video.
