I've noticed that, when trawling YouTube for good quality song-streams, I'll frequently run across fanmade vids where slides or clips from anime are used to illustrate beloved songs, which we can also conceive the other way around: songs are used to illustrate scenes from beloved anime.

Happens with clips from general TV dramas too, but seems more frequent with anime.

[EDIT: Er, that clip; didn't review it before embedding. Better make it a link. Guess I don't know what I'm getting into with anime.Is it typical?]
