Renory - Electronic

    A fast electronic beat to go with some nice digital futuristic scenes. The scenes are bright and colorful with lots of moving parts, constantly transitioning with only a couple slowed down parts. Almost plays like a visualizer but not quite there.

Title Goes Here

    This anime music video hits the spot! It's fast, electronic, has good visuals, with a great tune. It's music kinda electric or dubstep like, and the text overlays on the AMV where pretty cool.

Get Close

Usually avoid anime music videos like this one, but the AMV has definitely cheered me up.

Kuzo to the Sky

    This AMV has some good visuals to the point of looking like a visualizer and the song is pretty good as well, fast and electronic. An interesting part of this anime music video is the first word in the title "Kuzo", which there was no English translation from Japanese, and may not even be a Japanese word. After looking it up this is what was found;

Addiction

    This is this DigiCat's second anime music video and first in the romance genre for AMVs.  The song and anime go well together, and the editor did a good job with immersion into a story through the video and music, and with the all the effects it comes out to be quite a moving video.

Neuromancer

    During the 1st 15 seconds of this AMV was thinking, "on no, this song sucks, this video is lame". Just seconds later, started to notice the amount of detail that went into the video editing,  the transitions and blending are superb. The song added to the "oh no" thought but actually ended up enjoying it after the lyrics started.

Illusion of Life

    In few words this Anime Music Video can be described as: Illusion of life. Love is nothing but a fleeting illusion. A rose-colored campus life, is, after all, nothing more than an illusory dream.

Play

    This video has left me speechless, it is quite an amazing piece of artwork. A great example of a well thought out anime music video, Very beautiful and atmospheric, plus the end has a pleasant surprise.

Nostromatic Silence

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.

Quantum Ripple

Neo-Nectar

    The editor definately had music visualizers in mind when this AMV was created, the video is an amazing technical feet the timing, 3d warping, and use arrays.

Deeper Than Words

Song: kai tracid Conscious 
Anime: Arjuna (Earth Girl Arjuna)

About Arjuna

The story opens with Juna telling her boyfriend Tokio she feels too cramped in the city, and deciding to take a trip to the Sea of Japan. On the drive, they get in an accident and Juna dies. As the spirit leaves her body, Juna sees the dying Earth. The planet's suffering is visualized by worm-like creatures, the Raaja. The Raaja vary in size, from microscopic bacteria to those entwining the planet. A young boy named Chris appears before Juna and offers to save her life if she will help the planet. She agrees and is resurrected.

As is clear from the title, Arjuna, the series is highly influenced by Hinduism, as well as Indian culture in general. The story was inspired by the Bhagavad Gita, most notably in the character of Chris, who is modeled after Krishna.

The setting for the show, Kobe, was chosen by creator Shoji Kawamori for his personal fondness of it, and the city itself plays a prominent role, with famous buildings such as the Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel and nearby Ferris wheel showing up as common backdrops. The idea of living in a city is a main theme, with both Juna and the Raaja rebelling against how removed from nature modern life is.

An idea which Kawamori emphasized was natural farming. Not to be confused with the mere absence of chemicals that is often meant by "organic farming", natural farming involves letting nature grow as it will, not removing weeds or bugs, or using any fertilizer. The old man Juna encounters in episode four explains the need for this return to nature in order to sustain life in the long term, a sentiment directly from Kawamori himself

The show contains some very scientific and current elements which include the pole shift hypothesis, the Van Allen Belt, Fermat's Last Theorem, etc.

In episode two, Chris's chakras are shown on the monitor screen which are also adapted from the Hindu concept of 7 chakras inside the human body.



The Unseen In This AMV
Even for those the have seen the series, this is something that isn't obvious, unless you know what you are looking at. That object on her head, the shape of a sphere with a flowing tail is still to this day, the usual visual representation of the human spirit in Japan.The Magatama First appeared during the Jōmon period, which was from about 14,000 BCE to 400 BCE..

There is also a strong resemblance with the Magatama and the Gentoo Linux icon.

Gentoo Linux is a computer operating system built on top of the Linux kernel and based on the Portage package management system. It is distributed as free and open source software. Unlike a conventional software distribution, the user compiles the source code locally according to their chosen configuration. There are normally no precompiled binaries for software, continuing the tradition of the ports collection, although for convenience, some software packages (such as Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice) are also available as precompiled binaries for various architectures where compiling would otherwise be very time consuming. The development project and its products are named after the Gentoo penguin. Gentoo package management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, flexible, and optimized for the user's machine. Gentoo describes itself as a metadistribution, "because of its near-unlimited adaptability".
