This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber MPilotVF1V. This one is for all the Mecha fans out there. MPilotVF1V has taken “Blow Me Away” performed by Breaking Benjamin and edited it to Robotech Shadow Chronicles scenes. The song fits the images and the editing is seamless. It is a nice clean job and very well done You can check it out on YouTube under “Robotech/Macross-Blow Me Away AMV” or check it out below.

This weeks AMV comes from Youtuber imthemaster312. This individual takes the song “Would you be my Girlfriend” performed by Nsync featuring Nelly and edits it to scenes from Ah My Goddess! You can tell imthemaster312 to some time putting this video together. The words, of the song, are lined up really well with the lip movements of the characters in the scenes. You can tell scenes were used that emulated what the song’s lyrics where. This was a really well done AMV and you can watch it on YouTube under the tag “Ah My Goddess-AMV-Would You Be My Girlfriend” or you can catch it below.
It’s the debut of the new crew….Chris Dressler, Matt Moyer and Johnny Dunlap join Richard to review and discuss HBO’s Game of Thrones, adapted from George R.R. Martin’s novel by the same name, and Blue Exorcist by Kazue Kato. We are going with a new style for the show where it is more relaxed. There will be very little editing and you will get to hear some of the few bumps that occasionally happen. So remember, when you listen have fun.
Jin Akanishi will be hitting iTunes tomorrow with his single “Test Drive” featuring Jason Derulo. Let all your J-Pop fans now so they can be ready to down load.
