Anime music videos—often known as animated music videos or simply AMVs—are about as hit-or-miss as a hobby based on video editing can possibly get. 95% of the AMVs that clog YouTube are garbage. Take note of that 95%. It is not a fabrication or exaggeration.
But once in a while something comes by that makes you glad people took the time to match up a bunch of animation frames to some kind of music. Super Platinum 61FPS member Roto13 made me aware of one such video: fast-paced Super Mario Galaxy footage set to Queen's “Don't Stop Me Now.”
Mario works really well alongside Queen's peppy rock. One of the reasons AMVs fail so often is because “editors” don't realise that Pokemon and Linkin Park will never mix, no matter what depraved means are exercised in order to force them to mate.
(By the way, if you also want to become a Super Platinum 61FPS Member, just slip me a hundred bucks while I throw this tinfoil ball up in the air to distract Constantine.)
