This AMV does not feature JAM Project as you might have originally guessed. No, this is an AMV about the wonder of sports and sports anime. In fact there is probably more live action footage in this video than anime footage, but that’s ok because it still rocks. This video uses the song “Jam” by the King of Pop, Michael Jackson himself. French AMV creator Atio created this wonderful video probably because he likes sports anime; I don’t really know because I can’t read French.
This is an extremely well put together video, and a very unusual AMV at that. No matter who you are, I believe this video has the power to make you want to watch, or read sports related content. I mean sports anime is basically shonen anime with a different style of ‘fighting’; who can hate that?
The Olympics are long gone now, and I have nothing interesting to watch at night; this video tore open those scars and reminded me of what I don’t have anymore. You really should check out the high-quality version here. After the jump is this week’s Retro AMV Flashback.

all the sudden I want to watch sports, if not sports anime. I'll say sports anime, cause ESPN pulls this kind of crap on me all the time, "OOOH exciting!" totally wrong. at least Sports Center has highlights, all I really need to see.
make me feel loved!
