* "A Fair(y) Use Tale was made by a professor to explain copyright law and fair use, with each ''word'' lifted from various Disney movies! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJn_jC4FNDo "Enjoy."]
* [[ADV Films]] included four fan-made anime music videos on disk 7 of the DVD release of ''[[Noir]]'' as an [[Easter Egg]]. You can find them by going to the moment where {{spoiler|Kirika kills Chloe in the arena}}, and then pressing any of the four direction keys -- each one leads to a different video.
* A Fan Vid of a completely different kind -- a fan-made "trailer" for the [[Development Hell|as-yet unbegun]] [[Live Action Adaptation]] of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', assembled from bits and pieces of other movies and [[Cutscene|cut scenes]] from an ''Evangelion'' video game—can currently be [
** It was posted in 2007 -- since then [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POU4YquPOBU even better] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbzqMWhREfY more convincing] "trailers" have been made.
* This trope was popularized by two "professional" music videos by Mathew Sweet: "Girlfriend" and "I've Been Waiting", featuring footage from ''Space Adventure Cobra'' and ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', respectively. Both were seen on MTV in the very early 90s (back when MTV showed videos).
** Another "Professional" video was Ghostface Killah's ''Daytona 500'', which featured footage of ''[[Speed Racer]]''

* In a distant age, a Fan Vid was created. Forged from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' video and [[Peter Jackson]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|Lord of the Rings]]'' trailers' audio, it now passes from master to master throughout [[YouTube]]. It is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ql83ee47HE "The Lord of the Yen"]. ''It wants to be found''.
** The [[Transformers|Matrix of Leadership]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvJuZbUN0rE of Sauron must be destroyed]. [[Reverse Funny Aneurysm|All the funnier]] now that Hugo Weaving voiced Megatron in [[Transformers (film)|the 2007 movie]].

* The [[AMV Hell]] series is a compilation of short fan vids (not always AMVs) ranging from the funny to the serious. One of the most famous ones was Osaka from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' mixed with Ellen Feiss from the Apple commercials, with the video edited so Osaka's eyes are bloodshot like a stoner's. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXA-XKGr9xo It's like...a bummer.]
** The 30 second ''[[Lucky Star]]''/''[[Death Note]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aa64kPRSmQ&fmt=18 mashup intro] was voted as most popular segment from AMV Hell that a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWRCSFLvxw0 full version] was made.
** It should be noted that, as a whole, the ''AMV Hell'' series is something on an inversion and [[Take That]] against most other fan-made vids; many normal vids are centered around a specific lyric/scene combination, and the rest of the video is built around that, making many of them 90% longer than they have to be. The AMV Hell clips are short enough to get the joke in and get out of the way for the next clip. And it works beautifully.
* Possibly the ultimate example of effort and attention to detail in an AMV: [
** A serious competitor for that title is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xwyRvcGY4I this] EGSMV for Howie Day's "Collide". The creator ''technically'' didn't create any images in it, but he somehow managed to transmute Dan Shive's static comics into true animated clips?
* The ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' AMV "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHZqxecCukg Håll om mig nu (Hold me now)]" fits the show itself extremely well.
** Another well-made ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' video is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-brlVT1f_TA "Hollow Princess
* Because of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbpcu3C1PQQ this fanvid] (Spoilers for ''[[Code Geass]] R2''), Coldplay's ''Viva La Vida'' has basically become Lelouch's theme song.
* Extremely elaborate anime Opening/Ending parodies, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgBG6Ff7hwY this example] (which mixes ''[[Code Geass]]'' and ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''), seem to be fairly popular among users of the Japanese video hosting site Nico Nico Douga. English-speaking viewers quickly caught on, and now whole [[YouTube]] channels exist that are dedicated to uploading them for all to see.
** One person particularly good at this is [http://www.youtube.com/user/Yoraee Yoraee]{{dead link}}. Who, of all things, recreates anime openings using the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' 2003 series. Which is awesome in its own right. They make good MVs as well that are worth a watch.
*** The second opening to ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' is a popular target. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQnvpzmJklo Just one of many].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZBgxmo4hc Soul Eater meets South Park]. FULL STOP.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83j0MfG2yjY Gurren Lagann with the first Pokémon opening.] Words cannot describe the win.
* Instead focusing on proper sequencing, and matching of the song to the subject:
* The ''Nakanai Kimi to Nageki/Aganai no Sekai/Gensou'' videos are well known to large numbers of ''[[When They Cry]]'' fans. Somewhat interesting, as the makers apparently do all the artwork themselves too. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tZFvynKvAA Here's] a small sampler, but beware of spoilers!
* One of the bigger [[Ear Worm|earworms]] to hit Japan in
* ''[[Code Geass]]'' never looked [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN02i5GHAK4 this good]. Video comes courtesy of a certain [[Wakamura P]], who is nearly legendary on some corners of the Internet. These days I hear he's doing mostly [[The Idolmaster (video game)|Idolmaster]] MADs.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] A's'' has the nice [
* ''[[Vocaloid]]'' videos will always fall into this category due to there not being an actual anime (yet). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew6z_I-77GQ&fmt=35 Example]{{dead link}}. (warning, '''[[Tear Jerker|sad]]'''.) Videos of this type will more often than not have fan-created music as well (since this is what Vocaloid software is for).
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl48UzWcKrI&fmt=18 Jihaku.] Just...[[Tear Jerker|Jihaku.]]
* ''[[Hellsing]]'' seems to make a good mix with [[Disturbed]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2GXC7Vgmu4 Here's a good example]
** ''[[Hellsing]]'' also seems to be a good match with ''[[E Nomine]]'' music.

* Any ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|Hare Hare Yukai]]'' video. Usually crossed with other anime themes.
** Any ''[[Lucky Star|Motteke Sailor Fuku]]'' video as well, variations of which popularly involve: ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBjXbqeMPx8 here]), ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FdTSZ2NlJA here]{{dead link}}), etc.
* Ever notice the striking resemblance (setting aside the beard) between Dan Rather and [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Gendo Ikari]]? Well, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pf_KOD6VAU that's part of our world tonight.] Time for us to [[Bug-Out|bug out]].
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBYv11tqi-w The video for Wamdue Project's "King of My Castle"] (with ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' footage) is the only AMV so far to get to MTV.
* [http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=53350 "As the World Crashes Down"] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvXZq0QYuks video viewable on YouTube]{{dead link}}) is a haunting look at this [[Crapsack World]] through the lens of anime and the soundtrack of Tesla's "Heaven Nine Eleven".

* ''[[Touhou]]'' doesn't have any scenes that could conceivably be used in Fan Vids, and while [[Touhou/Awesome Music|spectacular]] its music contains no lyrics, so the fans do what they usually do and create Fan Vids ''from the ground up'' instead, and there is a gargantuan archive of creations. A ''very'' small list:
