AMV stands for Anime Music Video. They are made by fans, for fans. If you go to an anime convention, chances are they will be having an AMV contest there, and I have to say over the years people have made some great progress. The energy is incredible and I can only imagine what it’s like for the creators. Below are AMVs that in my opinion, are the best out there. People have come up with some pretty cool things, so check it out!
