I was watching a bunch of (gasp) anime music videos (AMVs) yesterday, and had an idea for a new column: Wednesdays should become AMV Day!
Today’s theme is ‘most watched’. Now this isn’t scientific by any means, and this week was quite simple to begin. Basically I searched YouTube for AMVs and sorted it by views and came up with a video by silvermoon377 that has almost 2.5 million views! Here’s the epic video:
Haruhi Suzumiya AMV – She’s Just Oblivious
If this works, I’d like to get more creative with the categories. So if you’d like to submit an AMV theme or video, please do so in the comments!
UPDATE: An alert reader found this site that’s already doing ‘an amv a week’ thing, but ours has a twist! And it will be in english! We’ll be featuring things like:
I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
Wow nice find! I figured something like that had been done. That’s why I have a way out – by adding the extra twist! So from here on out, I’ll have to make them more original. I’m thinking topics like ‘best amv with electro music featuring cats’ or ‘most inappropriate use of song’ in an amv. What do you think?
What i will say, the blog with the similar idea is by my and and someone else (but in german). If i found this blog and see this post, i have think it’s went missing by our blog, but it seems not so
Oh nice idea, but it’s look like this http://sasumotu.taess.eu/wordpress/?cat=99 from this Blog: krachb00ns.eu
Pure coincidence??

Meh. But there are so many AMVs out there, how can you choose? =p
Just wait until tomorrow – I figured out a way to do it. I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
