You Down w/ AMVs?

Anyone else take guilty pleasure in watching (or making!) Animated Music Videos (AMVs)??  I thought so :D  Let's share!

Poll Question:  What are your favorite types of AMVs?  (can choose more than one)

• When you love the song!  Having the song sync well with the video is nice, but even if there's only a loose connection to the lyrics/meaning of the song you'll dig it because you're looking for particular tunes.
  
  
• When you love the clips!  Having the video include seminal moments from one show (e.g. specific fight scenes) or numerous shows (e.g. OP female characters) is essential and then you look for best musical fit, even if the lyrics only match up superficially if at all.
  
  
• When the editing is really awesome and they make shows seem even better than they actually are - music and shows included are not really important.
  
  
• Kinda related to the previous one but, when they tell a story through editing and the music plays secondary significance (sometimes called Animated Story Music Videos (ASMVs)).  Often(?) there's only a non-vocal (though inspiring) background track which is what I think separates it from the previous jawn.
  
  
• When the clips capture a deeper meaning or a truer sentiment of the song than the lyrics alone - there's a synergy (i.e. interaction) between music, clips, and editing.

I'm sure there are tons of other reasons so please share yours below!  And post any fun stories such as shows you started watching because of an AMV or songs you became a fan of because of an AMV :)

And of course, please share your favorite examples!!

I'll start by sharing some of my old favorites!  However, I warn ya that these will be a little dated and it looks like a lot of my old favorites have been deleted from YouTube by now :(

Obviously there are going to be spoilers...

Clip and Song Synergies:

ASMVs:  

Here's one the follows the background music rule I mentioned earlier (and there are a ton more One Piece ones like this if anyone's interested)

But here's another One Piece one that I'd argue fits the ASMV category because it tells the story arc of the characters through editing, but there is a song with lyrics to match:
