AMV of the Week
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.
Gene Yang on Avatar
Here is a footnote for the Young Adult/Graphic Novel collections. Librarians should remember American Born Chinese, created by Gene Yang. Yang has now entered the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, by writing Volume 1: The Promise. You will want to tell your purchasing person to add this book to the list for your collections.
New Last Airbender
Nicktoons.com has released a trailer for The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra. This will be a new animated series, not a sequel to the live action movie. With this title, the animated series is where it’s at. The first story was very well done and I am willing to bet this second story will be well done as well.
