AMV of the Week
This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Leylaashley. Leylaashley takes the anime Appleseed and edits it around the song “Blow Me Away” performed by Breaking Benjamin. The editing is well done, nice clean cuts between scenes. I’ve always enjoyed the computer animation in this version of Appleseed. It is very clean looking. The song is a perfect fit and would go with any military type video. You can go to YouTube and look under “Appleseed AMV – Blow Me Away” and you can also check it out below. Great job Leylaashley.
