"Anime
Music Videos" had become almost a prerequisite for
anime fansites (more specifically, DragonBall-fansites).
Why is this? Taking something from our own culture (the
music, generally) and the animation from Japan, and combining
them, results in an end product that we can say we, as
fans, have helped to create. It's something new that fans
can do to show their appreciation and sheer love for the fandom, much
along the same lines as fanart and fanfics.
At
Daizenshuu EX, you will find some DragonBall
videos, but you will also find several other videos to
assorted series / movies. Why is this? Well, for one,
I (VegettoEX) have been involved with the AMV community at different levels and capacities over the years.
This site is one of the outlets I can
use to spread my own work. Through this community, I've
had the pleasure of meeting some great new friends whose
work I would also like to share with you.

Why
are these here, again?
Long time fans of Daizenshuu EX (and VegettoEX's
Home Page) will remember claims that you would never see music videos on this site
in any form, EVER. Well, I guess I was wrong. Let me take
a moment to explain WHY, however. Years back, I suppose
you could say I was relatively ignorant as to the world
of anime music videos, as were the vast majority of other
website maintainers! We had no idea there was a (large)
outside community of music video makers, who would send
their creations to contests at anime conventions, etc.
To me, "music videos" on DBZ sites were simply
160x120 poorly encoded MPEGs or RealVideo files using
fansubbed footage (hey, sometimes people went out of their
way to even use commercial VHS.. wow!) Some of
these videos would have some neat timing every so often,
or would even have a concept to them. However, it wasn't
until I accidentally downloaded some real anime music
videos (by people whom I now consider idols, teachers,
and personal friends, no less) that I stumbled onto the
world of real anime music videos. These were creations
that had a story to them, were of very nice quality, and
simply had a much larger thought process put into them
than anything I had seen before.
Here
I am, years later, really getting into these things, to
the point of even being on and organizing
anime music video panels, submitting
AMVs to conventions, winning
my first prizes at conventions, even running
an entire music video contest for a convention
and just enjoying myself meeting
more and more AMV creators, trading work, hanging out,
etc.
I hope
everyone enjoys what they find in this section of the site.
If I've introduced you to something new, I assure you that
it brings a smile to my face. If you're not new to the scene
and are picking up some new works as you stumble in, all
right! You'll find some excellent work by my friends in
here, and maybe you'll even like one of my own. Regardless
of who you are or where you came from, I hope you find something
you like, and further, maybe even something that touches
you.
