AMV of the Week

This weeks AMV is perfect for the library community.  The AMV comes from YouTuber MrFernoid.  It takes the song ‘Rock It” (Stanton Warriors Remix) by Sub Focus and edits the song with images from Star Wars Old Republic video game trailer.  This didn’t have a lot of editing per say since it took whole scenes and just put the music to the images. However, this shows everyone that good music doesn’t have to be sung, it can also be played and I enjoyed this instrumental. Check it out below or look it up on YouTube under “Star Wars The Old Republic AMV Rock-It”:

AMV of the Week Do Over

Didn’t realize I had already done the tribute video for Serenity, so here is another AMV for you.  This one comes from YouTuber SimplyMadStudiOs.  This AMV takes the song “Like it Loud” performed by Myah Marie and edits it to several anime: Bleach; Ookami-san; Toradora; Angel Beats; Higurashi; Macross Frontier; Shuffle!; Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya; and Umineko, as stated by the maker of the AMV.  It spotlights the female characters of these anime as the tough ladies that they are.  The transitions are timed with the beats of the song which make it a fast paced video.  The added background isn’t distracting, but add to the video.  Just a great video with a great song nice going SimplyMadStudiOs.  You can find the AMV on YouTube under “[SmS] We like it Loud! [Collab]” or check it out below:

AMV of the Week, It’s Shiny

This week’s AMV comes from YouTuber Heironeous77.  Heironeous takes scenes from Serenity and edits them around the song “Blaze of Glory” performed by Bon Jovi.  I believe everyone that is a science fiction fan knows about Firefly and it’s follow-up movie Serenity.  If you haven’t seen either go to your library’s and asked to check the series and movie out.  Just be sure to watch the series before you watch the movie.  If your library doesn’t have them ask them to get it for you through their Interlibrary Loan Program.  “Blaze of Glory” fits this series to a “T”.  The cuts between scenes is nicely done and lyrics to from the song emulate the scenes well.  It’s a shame that this AMV hasn’t been seen by more people.  Hopefully this will change with this posting.  Head to YouTube and search under “Serenity: Blaze of Glory” or check it out below:

ZIP! a Japanese morning television showed a trailer for the upcoming Rurouni Kenshin live action movie.  This is one movie librarians will want to keep an ear to the ground on because it should eventually make it’s way to North American markets.  Kenshin might be an older manga series, but it is still one of the most loved series and when new readers come into the format this is one of the series that is suggested to them to read and the manga and anime should be on must library shelves.  Thanks to AnimeNews Network and YouTuber MrZoom91 for the trailer below. You will have to set through a little of ZIP! before the trailer starts, which is approximately 45 seconds in:
