AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber DelugeOfRoses.  In this AMV the song “Walking on Sunshine” performed by Jump 5 is put to images from Fruits Basket.  This AMV caught my eye because we are in the middle of Spring and we have all this sunshine.  The editing is done nicely and cleanly.  There is no attempt to match words of the song to the anime characters mouths, it is just a pure video.  They ending is a little abrupt and should have been played out through the fade, I can forgive it that little misstep.  Also with this upbeat song of “Walking on Sunshine” fits the character Tohru Honda’s perfectly with her upbeat attitude of life, even with her sad past.  Good job DelugeOfRoses.  Check out the AMV on YouTube under “Fruits Basket – Walking on Sunshine” or watch it below:

AMV of the Week

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.
