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!

AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV comes from YouTuber UraSei87.  The song is “Can’t Help Falling in Love” performed by the A Teens.  The animation is from the anime One Piece.  The editing is done very well with the song and is fun to watch.  At the end even if you don’t understand the spoken language you know what is happening, so it doesn’t distract the AMV to much.  Watch the Video below or you can search for it under the tag “Ruffy x Nami – can’t help falling in love”.  Great job.
