Unchained

    Nothing like an awesome to MMV (manga music video) to mix things up. Superb editing on this video, never having a still image and running it at 60 frames per second making it really smooth.

Infinite Darkness - Sail (remix)

    When ever hearing this song, the first thought that pops up are the videos of guys in wing-suits jumping off of mountains, that just happens to be the first time I heard this song so that's probably why. Wing-suit jumping aside the song also goes really well with this AMV, the sound quality is good, the visual effects and the timing for them are right on as well, and the clips chosen go good. Enjoy.

Our Lives

    Ther is no chorus to this song, but is still really enjoyable, the text overlay adds pretty good depth to the anime music video where you can tell there is a clear message from the creator. A good AMV that uses allot of different anime very well that's sure to get the mind thinking, if not for the message in the text overlay, but the memories of the stories in the anime.

Expiation

    The creator of the Anime Music Video Echotrooper did a pretty good job putting so many different anime together, only noticed 3. The 1st of which was the lady with blue eye shadow from Ergo Proxy, the red eyes from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and the still have no idea who the other girl is. If you know, please share with us in a comment.

AEVIUM - Dubstep

    This Anime Music Video is an awesome electronic instrumental with an intriguing looking anime, with it's dark blend of magic and supernatural elements in modern day settings, it sure to become the next series to watch on many peoples anime list.

The Monster

    Amazing action and effects in this Anime Music Video, some places were not so clear and there appeared to be some random effects thrown in but the song and video worked well together. The anime used in this AMV actually started out as a music video, which spawned the Black Rock Shooter franchise.

Born to Survive

    Nothing like a good anime music video, and nothing like some bad broads ready to cut stuff up. The name of the anime used for the this AMV translates to Garden Of The Sinners, which appears to suite it well with regards to all the violence in the video. This anime looks pretty interesting from what is shown in the AMV. It is actually a series of 7 movies, 1 special, and 2 side-story movies all based off a series of light novels with the same name.

Requiem

    Really like Shin's AMVs they are just amazing. So artistic, such awesome editing skills, these anime music videos are filled with such emotion can't help but be moved by them. Keep up the great work Shin!

Magic Eye

    Shin has another top notch anime music video, featuring Steins; Gate. Thought the name of the anime was a typo, after looking it up on myanimelist.net found out it is actually spelled with the ";". The anime looks interesting too, adding it to my watch list for sure. The story is about a couple of people who found out how to send text messages to the past by putting a cell phone in a microwave.

AMV Insanity

    This AMV was really good, filled with intense scenes and the music was just the right tempo, not to fast but definitely not slow. Right away I had recognized the characters from wallpapers based off the manga. The anime adoption looks real good based off this AMV. If in your in to the horror genre then this is the series for you and it is called Deadman Wonderland

Berserk MMV - Fix You

    Just heard that there is a live action Berserk film coming by January 2012, and though that a Berserk MMV or AMV is in order. Got an old blog post Berserk MMV Called The Beast Within Berserk is rated by many to be the all time best manga ever, and would agree. It has been in a slow but steady production since December 1, 1990, and am always ecstatic to see a new issue of the amazingly epic manga. So one could only imagine how we reacted to here that a live action film is coming, to put it plainly, jumped up and cheered. Then though, they better not mess this up! The film we be broken into a series, and will cover the whole manga (or so they say).

Ergo Proxy - Slave of Chaos

    Real Mayer is the main character, and is in charge of investigating a series of brutal murders apparently committed by AutoReivs infected with the Cogito virus.

    In an interview,^[.pdf] Dai Satō (writer) describes the project:

"It is set in the future. A group of robots become infected with something called the Kojiro [sic] virus, and become aware of their own existence. So these robots, which had been tools of humans, decide to go on an adventure to search for themselves. They have to decide whether the virus that infected them created their identity, or whether they gained their identity through their travels. This question is meant to represent our own debate over whether we become who we are because of our environment, or because of things that are inherent in us. The robots are all named after philosophers: Derrida and Lacan and Husserl."

Anime: Ergo Proxy - Click to Watch the Series

After watching Ergo Proxy I must say that this is one of the most enjoyable series I've watched yet. The story is so complex and can at times be very agonizing because you are just so clueless as to whats going on. Then usually by the end of the episode or by the next episode all of your questions like, "What the hell is going on!?" will be answered. Why did I enjoy this series so much?

    First, this series is a real psychological mind boggling experience. I don't see too many series that make me question things about whats going on until the very end, yet Ergo Proxy did it. Even during the last episode, I was asking myself the same question as I had been throughout the entire series, "What the hell is going on!?" This kind of experience kept me wanting more and left me trying to fill holes myself, which is exactly the kind of thing that I enjoy. Something that makes me think for myself and makes me WANT to figure out whats going on or say, "Hmm, I wonder what that meant.."

    The setting of the story is another thing that made me enjoy this so much, a post apocalyptic world where everyone is being kept in the dark and left wondering whats just beyond their grasp. Theres not much that I can say about this plus for me, it's just something that I enjoy. If you enjoy stories set in this kind of environment, you'll like this aspect of Ergo Proxy.

    Ergo Proxy makes use to a lot of different aspects of psychology and history, which is a good thing. I believe it was only the first fourteen episodes, but at the end of each respective episode there would be about two minutes when they would reflect back on things throughout what you had just seen. It was a very nice touch that I felt was something more series should do. It basically would tell you things that the author of the series/story used as a reference or what something that occurred in the episode was based on. I thoroughly enjoy history and psychology so this aspect of Ergo Proxy really appealed to me.

    The character development didn't fall short of my expectations either. It was done quite nicely. I wish I could go into further detail about it, but apparently I'm not supposed to say anything to spoil the series and I'm not quite sure how to go about this aspect without doing just that.

    The animation was extremely well done. The way some of the faces are drawn may look a little odd at first, but I didn't mind it at all. It matches the show quite well and really compliments everything around it. Everything that was done in this series, animation wise, was completely believable. Sure, there are somethings that you just know can't be true/made from something real, but it just feels true/real with everything else about the series combined.
