AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber mayurei.   This individual has taken the song “Haunt You Every Day” performed by Weezer and edited it to images from the series Ghost Hunt.  It is a longer and slower, but it captures the feel of Ghost Hunt.  Mayurei spent some time with this by going through the episodes and finding clips where the words of the song are lip synced perfectly with the anime to make it look like the character shown is actually singing the words of the song.  Great job all the way around.  You can check out the video on YouTube under the tag “I’ll Haunt You – Ghost Hunt AMV” or watch it below.
