Justice League Doomed?

ICv2 is reporting that Warner Bros. Animation has Justice League Doom on slate for a early 2012 release.  The DC animated movies have been really well done.  If your library hasn’t been picking these up you should consider them for you animated collection.  However, these movies are not children shows.  They do tackle more complex issues and themes, so these should be placed in you Young Adult section or if you have a separated out anime/animation collection place them there.  Doom is based of the Graphic Novel JLA: Tower of Babel, were super villains have discovered Batman’s contingency plans on how to take out superheroes that go rogue.

AMV of the Week

This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber iloveheroes.  This individual took images from the Fullmetal Panic! anime and edited them to the song “Kiss the Girl” performed by Ashley Tisdale.  There are a few pixelated parts, but it doesn’t distract from the viewing.  I right there along with iloveheroes, I love the two leads of the anime (Souske & Chidori) and when ever I see them I get a smile on my face because the story is so much fun.  If you want to find the AMV on YouTube it is under the tag “Full Metal Panic – Kiss The Girl” or you can check it out below.  It was a fun video iloveheroes, great job.
