Personally, I took a totally different view from just about everyone here. When I first saw the TAS, I didn't know it was a TAS, but there were many things I knew weren't possible in real-time, so I assumed it had been slow-played (I'd made a video, prior, for Sonic 1 with a slow, buggy flash player for it that was nigh-perfect, so I kinda independently discovered TASes >_>) I look at it the same way I look at TASes: They're a show of perfection and they show what's possible, if improbable, in speedrunning.

Morimoto's video was the first one I saw for me as well. I think I had the typical "Oh, those japanese rascals!" thoughts. After seeing similar Videos I discovered this site. At first I felt a little stupid for not realizing the video wasn't "real", and after grasping the TAS concept I was all the more impressed with the original and all following videos. Simply great entertainment and a challenging intellectual activity - that was a clear winner for me.
