AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Heironeous77.  This individual takes the song “Blaze of Glory”, performed by Bon Jovi, and edits in scenes from the movie Serenity.  The views on this video are low, but don’t let that stop you from view it.  It is put together nicely, with attention given to the lyrics of the song and what images are used from the movie.  The editing between scenes is smooth in the transitions with no jerkiness at all.  If you have not seen Firefly the series or Serenity I recommend that you check it out, it’s a fun series, but be sure you start with the series and then watch the movie.  Heironeous77 you did a great job and I hope this will get you some additional views on a well made AMV.  You can look up this AMV on YouTube under “Serenity: Blaze of Glory” and check it out below.

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber Leylaashley.  Leylaashley takes the anime Appleseed and edits it around the song “Blow Me Away” performed by Breaking Benjamin.  The editing is well done, nice clean cuts between scenes.  I’ve always enjoyed the computer animation in this version of Appleseed.  It is very clean looking.  The song is a perfect fit and would go with any military type video.  You can go to YouTube and look under “Appleseed AMV – Blow Me Away” and you can also check it out below.  Great job Leylaashley.

Gundam That’s Big

If any of your Gundam fan’s have had discussions on how big a Gundam would be this answers their questions.  A life size Gundam that was on display at Odaiba is now being rebuilt at Diver City Tokyo at a complex being built on the island Mitsui Fudosan.  The video below by YouTuber darwinfish105 lets one see how large this statue is with all of the people passing by and taking pictures.  I loved the shots that have the Ferris wheel in the background.  The building will have its grand opening on April 19. Thanks to AnimeNews Network for finding this video.

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber ThreeMadCookies.  ThreeMadCookies takes the song “I’ll be There for You” performed by The Rembrandts and edits it to scenes from Library Wars.  The editing of the cut scenes is really clean and there is no jerkiness to the video.  The song fits well with the edited scenes and follows the characters Iku Kasahara and Atsushi Dojo well.  If one has read or watched Library Wars you will know that this song fits the show well and that ThreeMadCookies did a great job in selecting it for this AMV.  You can find the video on YouTube by looking under “Library Wars – I’ll be there for you” and you can check it out below.

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber cannonfodder90.  Naruto is used for the imagery and it is edited around the song “You Can’t Hurry Love” performed by Phil Collins.  First off I’ve always loved Phil Collins’ version of “You Can’t Hurry Love”.  I can’t tell you why I just do.  This is an older AMV, but still a decent video.  Cannonfodder90 does a nice job of editing the scenes together and there is an attempt to match up Naruto’s lip movement with the songs lyrics.  At times it works and at other times it doesn’t.  Like I said it is still a nice video with a tune that I enjoy.  You can find it on YouTube under “Naruto AMV – You Can’t Hurry Love and you can check it out below.

AMV of the Week

This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber Vinchila.  Vinchila takes the song “Save the Last Dance For Me” performed by The Drifters and edits in images from cut scenes of Final Fantasy VIII video game.  I thought with this weekend being New Year’s this was a good choice for this week’s AMV.  The editing is top notch with overlays throughout the video.  A very nice job of editing to go with a classic song.  You can check out the AMV on YouTube under “You Can Dance – FFVIII” or watch it below.  Everyone have a safe and Happy New Year.
