In the usual interpretation of this question, it means that there's more optimistic people than pessimistic. Still a lot of the pessimists though...

I don't usually watch AMVs, but I like the ones that are made with care, and their quality are high. It's a shame that most of them are really bad.

Stupid optimistic people.

I don't make AMVs and I don't watch them. I think the majority aren't well made, and they have annoying music that everyone is trying to fit to their pairing. I realize they aren't all shipping ones, but it all comes down to the same thing.

CRAAAAAWWWWLLIIIIIINNG IIIIIN MY SKIIIIIIN!

ereything made with care is interesting

Do hand-drawn fan videos count as AMVs?

I guess you voted half full.

Naive optimistic people. As long as you are optimistic you will continue to be disapointed. Read some schopenhauer and realise your folly.

I don't like AMVs. They are stupid and lame and also dumb.

I like AMVs coz they are made of my two fav things music & anime!!

Oh and u rude people going on bout shit amvs - lemme say its hard to make shit ones! And good ones would take like a month & who has that sort of time to make a 3 minute vid? Most people just do it as a hobby using crappy editting software so their not gonna be amazing! STOP TROLLING! (cba to explain what trolling means)

Its hard? Really? REALLY?

(Even though the quote above is from Hamlet, I first saw it in a Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer on YouTube ^o^)

U mad?

Where the hell is my "I AVOID THAT SHIT LIKE THE PLAGUE" choice?

I chose half-empty because I know I've got the cup half-full - just that empty space needs to be filled, and it hasn't been filled yet. In other words, room for improvement.

And yes, it's a shame that a lot of AMVs are just random montages of clips with random music in the background, with not even a shred of effort to make it work: a cup half-full.

They need good timing and suitable choices of clips with suitable music in the background, with the aim of telling some sort of relevant story, in order to really work. In other words, there's room for improvement: a cup half-empty.

Not quite pessimistic nor optimistic - more like opportunistic. XD

Me and my bro pumped out HQ AMVs in less than a week on some of the worst video editing software you can find (WMM), with computers that could barely handle playing videos, let alone editing them. Are you saying our amvs weren't amazing?
