AMV Spotlight of the Week

This weeks AMV Spotlight is on YouTuber “misterhalf22”.  The song “Still Dreaming” performed by Silverstein and edits it around scenes from Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple.  The editing is done really well and the song fits the show.  The main draw back, as in some AMV’s is that subtitles are present in the edited scenes.  For me this is a little bit of a distraction that can be eliminated by a couple of clicks of a controller.  If you want to add in text or different background to augment the AMV that is one thing, but leaving subtitles in, for me, is distracting.  Otherwise I liked the video.  Check it out below:
