AMV Spotlight of the

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber potakun.  Potakun takes the song “Boom, Boom, Pow” performed by The Black Eyed Peas and edits it to a variety of anime.  The clips are smoothly edited together and potakun has matched up lyrics of the song with some of the characters speaking actions within the clips.  The sink is pretty good and makes the video funner to watch when the characters appear as if they are singing the song.  Great job potakun  you can find the AMV on YouTube under “Boom, Boom, Boom! AMV (Boom Boom Pow – Blackeyed Peas)” or you can check it out here:

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber xxDxxMxx.  This YouTuber takes the song “Shake It!” performed by Metro Station and edits in several scenes from a variety of anime.  The cuts are quick cuts that are to the beat of the song.  Because of this there are a lot of quick flashes, so if you are prone to seizures this might not be the AMV for you.  It is an older AMV, but I just liked the feel good beat of the song and how the cuts keep the rhythm of the music.  It’s worth seeing again.  Great job xxDxxMxx.  You can check out the AMV on YouTube under “Shake It!” or watch it below:

Cartoon Network is bringing back Toonami to it’s Adult Swim block on May 27 at 12:00 a.m. (midnight).  Most of the shows will be what you would think: Bleach; Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood; Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig; and Cowboy Bebop.  However two shows will be airing that are new to the block: Deadman Wonderland (12:30 a.m.) and Casshern Sins (1:00 a.m.)  It’s good to see Toonami coming back and hopefully they will expand on their variety of shows in the future.
