This weeks AMV Spotlight comes from YouTuber “HeardYouLikeAmvs2” again.  This is an upload of “JudgeHolden”s AMV for the song “Disco Heaven” performed by Lady Gaga.  This individual uses a variety of Anime to edit this AMV together.  The blending is great and several of the lyrics match up with lip syncing or the actions that are taking place in the AMV.  It hasn’t received many hits, but it is a fun AMV so check it out on YouTube under “Amv – Disco Heaven” or watch it below:

What Will Our Future Hold

Another example of how science fiction can one day become fact.  The Kuratas robot is created by Kogoro Kurata and is piloted by a person.  Since being placed on the Suidobashi Heavy Industry’s website for a price of 1.35 Million dollars per robot they have received 3,000 orders.  Makes one wonder if the future of warfare might go the way of the visions of Japanese writers pictures fighting wars with huge human piloted robot mechas.  The following two videos from YouTube, through Animenews Network show the Kuratas in action.  Christmas present maybe!
