Anime Music Videos -> Let me reiterate, WATCH THESE OR ELSE! I'll kick your ass ^_^

[TenshiEmi]

Went to the anime con last weekend, sat through 41 anime music videos during the contest, and realized how few people know about this art form! These are some pretty hefty files, but well worth it. I Especially recommend Battle Athletes "Believe" (Not Cher! The song from Run Lola Run!) and any other Kevin Caldwell videos. (I have a whole bunch on my computer, just ask ^_^ The Neon Genesis Evangelion "Engel" video is amazing!!) Anyways, let me know what you think people =D
A few good sites:

Please, don't just pass over this. The videos are be fucking amazing. Ramms+ein's Engel was brilliantly done. And Ace of Bass', yes Ace of Bass, Beautiful Life has a very good video done to it. There is some very interesting stuff out there. Check this stuff out. :D

Daft Punk's new One More Time video is an amazing piece of work. It's on M2 every now and again.

Yeah, that (and it's sequel) kick ass ^_^ *BUT* this is an entirely different concept. The Daft Punk video was specially animated for the song. In these case, you find an anime and a song that you think go well together, and splice up the anime to make a music video for the song. But the key is in the timing, everything has to be just right. Matching the mouths to the lyrics is especially difficult. Some of these took 3 or 4 months to make.

I've seen all/most of these and they are really tight. Props to whoever made them for all their hard work cuz I'm sure it takes a lot of time to make them look that good.
