AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber xxxHentaiGirlXXX.  This individual took “Party in the U.S.A.” by Miley Cyrus and intercuts scenes from a varity of anime.  Some anime I recognized were Perfect Blue, One Piece, Lucky Star…and many others.  This is just a fun song that spotlighted several women in the animes.  Don’t let the YouTuber handle scare you away from this particular AMV, it’s more of a celebration of these characters, it’s not derogatory in any way I can see.  You can check this AMV out on YouTube under the tag “Party in the USA – Anime Style” or check it out below.

AMV of the Week Do Over

Didn’t realize I had already done the tribute video for Serenity, so here is another AMV for you.  This one comes from YouTuber SimplyMadStudiOs.  This AMV takes the song “Like it Loud” performed by Myah Marie and edits it to several anime: Bleach; Ookami-san; Toradora; Angel Beats; Higurashi; Macross Frontier; Shuffle!; Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya; and Umineko, as stated by the maker of the AMV.  It spotlights the female characters of these anime as the tough ladies that they are.  The transitions are timed with the beats of the song which make it a fast paced video.  The added background isn’t distracting, but add to the video.  Just a great video with a great song nice going SimplyMadStudiOs.  You can find the AMV on YouTube under “[SmS] We like it Loud! [Collab]” or check it out below:

AMV of the Week, It’s Shiny

This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber Heironeous77.  Heironeous takes scenes from Serenity and edits them around the song “Blaze of Glory” performed by Bon Jovi.  I believe everyone that is a science fiction fan knows about Firefly and it’s follow-up movie Serenity.  If you haven’t seen either go to your library’s and asked to check the series and movie out.  Just be sure to watch the series before you watch the movie.  If your library doesn’t have them ask them to get it for you through their Interlibrary Loan Program.  “Blaze of Glory” fits this series to a “T”.  The cuts between scenes is nicely done and lyrics to from the song emulate the scenes well.  It’s a shame that this AMV hasn’t been seen by more people.  Hopefully this will change with this posting.  Head to YouTube and search under “Serenity: Blaze of Glory” or check it out below:

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber LadySilverWings.  LadySilverWings took the song “At the Beginning” performed by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis and edited it around scenes from Chrono Crusade.  This is an older AMV, but still worthy of mention.  The editing is done cleanly and if you know the story of Chrono Crusade (Manga or Anime) you know this song fits perfectly and it will bring back your feelings you were having at the end all over again.  For those of you that don’t know the story I highly recommend you read the manga or watch the anime, then come back a watch the AMV, because it will make the impact of the AMV much better.  Great job on your selection and editing LadySilverWings and thank you YouTube of the video, you can find it under “Chrono Crusade – Within My Heart” or watch it below.

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Pugmasterjack.  Pugmasterjack takes the song “Here We Go” by Jason Gochin and edits images from Air Gear to it.  The song is a great catchy song and the editing cuts between scenes is well done.  All in all a nice AMV that doesn’t have that many views.  So check it out on YouTube under the tag “Here We Go Air Gear AMV” or below.

AMV of the Week

We are slowing it down this week.  This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Mapache9999.  Mapache9999 takes the song “Making Love Out of Nothing At All” performed by Air Supply and edits it with images from Utawarerumono.  The editing of the scenes with the music is good.  There isn’t any harsh transitions between cuts.  However, the subtitles are the bottom of the video are a little distracting and could have been left off.  It is an older AMV, but it is still worth checking out on YouTube under “Utawarerumono AMV – Making Love out of Nothing at All” or check it out below.  Thanks again to YouTube and Mapache9999.

Soul Calibur V Graffiti Art

Namco Bandai Games Europe came up with a cool way to advertise for Soul Calibur V.  They hired two graffiti artists to do a mural on the Great Eastern Street Wall in London’s East End.  The information on YouTube on gives the name of one artist that painted the advertisement and that is Jim Rockwell.  The below video shows a time-lapse of the painting and a scan of the whole painting when it is completed, which took three days.  The very end of the video is a trailer for Soul Calibur V.  Thanks to AnimeNews Network and YouTube Channel “NamcoBandaiGamesEU” for the news and video.
