AMV of the Week
This weeks AMV is from a few years back. YouTuber technotronica made this AMV with Will Smith’s “Wild Wild West” combined with scenes from Trigun. The editing has great moments were the images match up with the songs lyrics perfectly. For this persons first AMV he/she did a great job. However, this AMV was also his/her last because there are no other listings for this YouTuber. You can find this on YouTube with the tag “Trigun-Wild, wild west AMV” or you can check it out below.
