Question on whether or not I can post this video here?

Isn't there a entire community dedicated to this stuff? Machina or something like that.

Yes, I understand what defines anime. That wasn't my question. My question was if a-m-v.org has gone beyond "Just anime." I clearly see that "No, we still only just accept just anime." I don't need an explanation was to what constitutes as anime, as I quite understand that "any Japanese Animation, or even styled to emulate Japanese animation. My question wasn't "Is Halo anime?" But "Has a-m-v.org accepted more than just anime?" I'm sorry if I seem I'm repeating myself, but so far after I explain this again, someone else posts "Halo isn't anime, here's why:" I appreciate you wanting to help, and I know I wasn't entirely clear in my first post, but I have explained several times after my first post what my actual question was. I'm sorry I wasn't too clear in my first post though.

Yeah, I knew those existed. However I was just trying to stray away from those file hosting sites if I could. I wanted a forum will people of similar interests can find the vid, and post comments and reviews on it. I like constructive criticism so I know how to improve myself and what I can do to make my projects better. Those outlets don't really allow me to do that. Which is why I originally thought a-m-v.org would be a good idea, if a-m-v.org has gone beyond the "Just anime" thing. So, I'll move on and try to find something else, but I still think it would have been a good method. It's a shame there isn't a place like a-m-v.org that isn't just limited to anime though :-/ People are starting to create some very nifty things that would relate to the fan base but really have no other option than places like the peer video networks. However, I'm not pleased with them so I'm looking for alternatives.

Yeah, I wouldn't label this Machinama. A prime example of Machinama is RedvsBlue. Where they actually play out their story using the in game engine. Putting already existing clips to the audio of a song or movie trailer really wouldn't label it as machinama. Unless they actually acted out the trailer in the game, then it could possibly be labeled as such, but the difference really is "actors represented by in game models" is what makes a machinama really.

Oh, but they want to beat the dead horse some more until they've all had a turn to put it into their own wording.

To answer the real question. . .no. Still just anime. And I have the feeling with the volume of actual AMVs that keep getting uploaded, that it will stay only actual anime AMVs. But the internet is a large and diverse place. You might actually be able to find a site for game mvs. Who knows. lol. *^_^*

thats not quite right either, for example Teen Titans and Avatar are also not allowed on this site... O: so pretty much "animation produced for a japanese audience" is what is anime.

okay you totally missed my Vidding link didnt you?

i was suggesting the other sites as means of hosting (if you didnt already have a host) as livejournal doesnt have a dedicated server (like the org does) to host video at all... (and i doubt it ever will)

join that community, its alot of the same people here and more people that tend to do more live action stuff, infact they dont allow anime videos there at all.... if you ask you might be able to get feedback...

...which actually is even MORE retarded than the whole 'anime is made in Japan' froth since, um, are you claiming that Japanese people can't watch Teen Titans? Or that an American (or Japanese) company can't try to sell their product in both Japan AND the United States? Your logic is...well, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY. o_O

But the STYLE in Japanese. And I guess you need someone to remind you that ORIGINAL anime didn't exactly have a whole lot of humor in it, that's something they actually got from AMERICAN cartoons...if anything anime produced today is more of a hybrid style of anime and American cartooning.

that doesnt change the fact that teen titans was made for an american audience

japanese animation is anime. can it be lock tiem now pls?

Wheee_It's_Me! · Post by **Wheee_It's_Me!** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 6:33 pm

Further, you claim that the joke references play a significant factor...and yet with a series like Excel Saga, a LOT of the jokes ARE American references.
