Top 7 Best AMVs that describe Anime
Picking a title for this post was a bit hard, it was between Top 7 Best AMVs OF ALL TIME and Top 7 Best AMVs that describe Anime, in the end I liked the latter.
The last decade has been great for anime with so many appreciating the medium now, the speed we can get new ones and just how many new anime we get each season now.
Even now, many years later, I can sit down to watch an anime series and come out of it with a new take, and now that anime is more widespread we all have different belief some times, of the message the show we love is talking about.
Which is great most of the times cause I really love sharing my thoughts and ideas with other anime enthusiasts.
Music has always been a part of my life long before I even knew about anime. So finding out about AMVs really blew my mind away. It was like learning you could mix two flavours of ice cream together.
What are AMVs?
AMV stands for Anime Music Video. And they are made by taking clips from an anime and adding effects and music, hence calling it a music video.
So since then, I have been finding inspirations form AMVs. Watching them always makes me realize how amazing anime is.
It's amzing to me how the creator/editor know the perfect timing and music to go with the anime. When the music choice works perfectly, it makes the video a 1000 times better. Some times even better than the anime.
I also appreciate the time it most have taken by the creator or editor to create their amazing works.
Which as made me always want to do a "Top 7 Best AMVs OF ALL TIME" list. But I thought it would be cool to try and use them to describe anime and show just how far this medium has come.
So without further ado, I present to you some AMVs that I think describe anime.

3. Anime Mix - Uptown Funk AMV - Giorgi

4.1 AMV Escanor For the Glory - I'm the Monster - Akashi Uchiha

This I kept in cause I found out Escanor was going to die and it made me sad. He's a character I have liked since the first time he made his appearance, his double personality that are similar and yet completely different in some ways. Like day and night.
5. Anime Mix - The Nights - The AMV Archive
