We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
Let’s throw one to the TV crowd. This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber cooltrainertom. The music for this AMV was from Lo-Ball, Paule Perrette’s band, “Can’t get me Down” and is edited to scenes of her from NCIS. The song is catchy, her smile is infectious and the editing of the scenes captures the upbeat theme of the song and the Abby character. If you want to see the video on YouTube search under the tag “Ncis Abby – Can’t get me down” or check it out below. Nice job cooltrainertom.
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.
This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Kalysons. This individual takes the song “Time for Me to Fly”, performed by Jonas Brothers, and edits it to images from the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender. Many will discount this AMV, it hasn’t been viewed much, because of their feelings toward the Jonas Brothers. It doesn’t matter to me how much an AMV has been viewed or not. I look at how it’s put together, if the song is catchy and if it fits the anime. This song has a good message and fits Aang and his journey perfectly. There is some pixelation within the video, but not enough to distract from the viewing. Check it out on YouTube under “Avatar AMV – Aang – Time For Me To Fly or check it out below. I enjoyed it Kalysons.
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.
This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber victorwonder. This is a few years old, but it still is a nice video. The song “Do You Believe in Magic” performed by Aly & A.J. is a nice cover of an older song. It’s been covered a couple of different times, but the ladies don’t do anything major changes to the arrangement. It’s just a nice pop song. Victorwonder takes and episode of Justice League Unlimited, that features Zatanna, entitled “This Little Piggy” and edits images of Zatanna with the song, which is a perfect fit. This video is nothing elaborate just a good nicely done AMV. You can look for it under the tag “fmv | zatanna | “do you believe in magic?” by aly & aj” or check it out below:
This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber dcmkod. This individual has taken the song “Take it Off” by Kesha and edited it to scenes from High School of the Dead. The editing is good and I enjoyed the AMV. It might be strange to have a upbeat song like this set to the images that are shown, however I have listened to the songs lyrics and it fits great. Here is what I’m talking about “lose your mind….we’re delirious, tear it down” and “There’s a place down town where the freaks all come around. It’s a hole in the wall, it’s a dirty free for all.” It just works for me. It you want to view the video search on YouTube for “Highschool of the Dead AMV Take it off!” or check it out below.
This weeks AMV is from YouTuber nuttyacornsquirrel. This individual has taken some flack over this AMV, however the main point of doing AMV’s is to have fun and put a smile on someone’s face. Even if it is just one person, that is one person that you have given a fun experience for. The song he uses is “Let it Rock” performed by Kevin Rudolf, which was edited to scenes from Soul Eater. It’s a catchy song to a fun video. You can see the video on YouTube under the tag “Soul eater let it rock” or check it out below:
This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber iloveheroes. This individual took images from the Fullmetal Panic! anime and edited them to the song “Kiss the Girl” performed by Ashley Tisdale. There are a few pixelated parts, but it doesn’t distract from the viewing. I right there along with iloveheroes, I love the two leads of the anime (Souske & Chidori) and when ever I see them I get a smile on my face because the story is so much fun. If you want to find the AMV on YouTube it is under the tag “Full Metal Panic – Kiss The Girl” or you can check it out below. It was a fun video iloveheroes, great job.
This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Mewprincess3. Mewprincess3 uses the song “Just Haven’t Met You Yet” performed by Michael Buble and edits images from Fruits Basket to the lyrics. This is a perfect fit to me. Through the whole series Kyo and Tohru didn’t truly meet each other until the very end. If your library doesn’t have a copy of Fruits Basket and you can find one it would be a great addition to the anime collection. Everyone wanted Fruits Basket to have a second season but at this point I don’t think that will happen and it might be for the best (can lightening strike again?) Let the anime series be the best that it is and patrons that want to get the full story can finish it up in the manga. You can find the video at YouTube under the tag “Kyo Just Hasn’t Met Tohru Yet – Fruits Basket (Reuploaded). Great job Mewprincess3 of marrying up this great song with a great anime.
