AMV of the Week
Our AMV of the week comes from YouTuber miraclefalcon. The music for the video is “Letting Go” performed by Linkin Park and the animation is from Angel Beats. Miraclefalcon states that this video was a finalist at the Otakon 2011 and Katsucon 2011 contests. After watching the AMV I can see why. The editing is very nicely done and I especially like the drum beat cuts it has in the latter part of the video. You can go to YouTube to watch the video under the tag “Letting Go: An Angel Beats AMV” or check it out below. Great job miraclefalcon!
