Hmm, I guess in most cases you'd have to know the anime itself beforehand to understand the significance of certain scenes... well, I guess opinions differ. I have an AMV containing an insane number of clips from many different anime that are seemingly completely random, arranged to the song Best Of You ( I think? ) by Foo Fighter, and despite the randomness, it's one of the most beautiful things I know because it seems like a collage of the whole spectrum of life to me.
Different mindsets, I suppose.
