“The state of anime today” summed up in an AMV

Not too long ago, while browsing through the highly rated AMVs on AnimeMusicVideos.org, I came across a rather memorable AMV (whether it’s memorable in a good or bad way, you can decide for yourself). I’ve embeded the AMV after the jump below. Be warned, it’s NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

Condensed version of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya movie now available

A PV that’s more or less a “condensed” version of the upcoming “The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya” movie is now streaming on YouTube via Lantis, the company producing the movie’s soundtrack. The five minute video features a slide-show of screen shots from the movie in chronological order, with background music from the soundtrack playing. The animation and everything else about the movie now seems more awesome than ever XD

UPDATE 01/22/10: Lantis removed the original PV and replaced it with a less spoiler-filled one (which also has some images not in the original). The video above is the new PV. The old one can currently be found on an unofficial YouTube channel. I’ve posted it below after the jump…

New Pokemon Diamond & Pearl opening “Saikou Everyday!”

After 61 episodes, we finally have a new Pokemon opening that just aired with the latest episode, 158. And I wouldn’t make a post about it if it wasn’t one of the best Pokemon openings to come out in recent years – a catchy rock song and awesome images that showcase all the current star pokemon, important characters, as well as almost all the legendary pokemon. Although I prefer Rica Matsumoto’s singing, Fumie Akiyoshi has been steadily growing on me.

For the next Diamond & Pearl opening after this one, I believe a new remix of “Mezase Pokemon Master” is long overdue.
