This weeks AMV Spotlight is on YouTuber “dragonchic721”. This is an older AMV and centers around Superman. This individual took clips from the series Justice League and edited them to the song “Go the Distance” performed by Michael Bolton. I know it is a slower song and it is from a Disney movie, but the AMV is well edited and the lyrics really fit the images as they are advancing through the video. The opening is my most favorite part with the instrumental and seeing the Justice League Tower and then Superman flying around the edge at the crescendo, very nicely done. I enjoyed the AMV and thought it should get some additional looks from people. You can look up the AMV on YouTube under “Justice League – Superman – Go the Distance” or check it out below:

AMV Spotlight of the Week
This weeks AMV Spotlight features an AMV uploaded by YouTuber “Rajiv Andrade”. The video takes several anime shows and splices them together to fit with the featured song “Spirit Never Dies” performed by Masteplan. The AMV is an older post, but it all fits together and is so well made that it deserves to be noticed again. The creator takes the time to have the singers voices match up with the anime characters lip sync and it is nearly flawless. Also with the lyrics of the song the creator uses anime that has that fighting spirit and to never give up. The editing and splicing together of multiple scenes from different anime is also very impressive and seamless in their transitions. A great job on producing this video all the way around. You can find it on YouTube under “Spirit Never Dies Anime AMV” or check it out below:
AMV Spotlight of the Week
This weeks AMV Spotlight is on “snowdragon25”. Since we are getting ready for the biggest party of the year, I thought this AMV was appropriate. “snowdragon25” took the song “Party All Night (Sleep All Day)” performed by Sean Kingston and edited in several clips from different anime that featured the main characters dancing or singing. The scenes have some transitions with no hard breaks between the variety of scenes, a really nice job. The black border around the video is not my most favorite feature. I like for the AMV to take up the complete screen, but that’s just me. You can catch the AMV on YouTube under “Anime Dance Anime AMV – Party All Night” or check it out here:

AMV Spotlight of the Week
Since it’s December this weeks AMV Spotlight is on a Christmas AMV. It was uploaded by YouTuber “winxbilievix100”. It doesn’t have very many views, but I enjoyed it. This person took Mariah Carey’s performance of “All I want for Christmas is You” and added in images of a variety of anime. Notice I said images, this isn’t a traditional AMV that has animation in it. I think because of this I enjoyed it. It is a simple AMV and the images are fun to watch with the catchy background music. Because the AMV uses images, to me, it makes it feel like you are receiving postcards from these characters or they are pictures from a Christmas party that you had with these characters. When you look at it in this way the AMV is great fun. So check it out:
