[youtube EK6kJVzt5g0] This week’s motivational song of the week is Demolition by Crow’s Claw. This song, in my opinion, is motivational because of the metal-esque guitar and just the atmosphere it creates in the listener. It makes you wanna get up in the morning and say “Hello world! I’m going to take you on today…
[youtube -KkpLVyoinY] This week’s AMV features Neon Genesis Evangelion along with Muse. It was picked for the song “Butterflies and Hurricanes” and how well that goes with the protaganist Ikari Shinji. If you listen to the lyrics of the song with the entire chronology of Neon Genesis Evangelion in mind, you realize that the two…
[youtube GqHBuUAyve8] I found this while looking for piano covers or normally heavy songs. It struck me as very peaceful and serene. The piano cover evokes a serene state of mind; it is akin to a blissful silence. Thought I’d share it with all of you.
With the possibility of the nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, many are asking about how nuclear radiation leads to the presence of diseases within the human body. This curiosity was echoed by my recent viewing of video of the experiences of the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings: White Light/Black Rain.…
[youtube hoWifeC0UOU] This week in class we watched Revolutionary Road. One of the songs that really hit me was the ending theme by Thomas Newman. It had a calm soothing tone to it, that I though everyone could appreciate at anytime, so I decided to share it with everyone here. Hope you all enjoy it…
[youtube ntCdgqxslNI] This week’s AMV features a movie that I just watched today. This week’s Anime is Sword of A Stranger, and quite literally focuses on the sword of a stranger that a boy meets. The Nameless Swordsman in the end saves the boy from a sacrificial ritual, one reason for the song. However we…
[youtube RiWPBkJ1VzU] Whilst hoping from video to video on YouTube, I stumbled upon this song. It was an English-translated and dubbed version of the song, which made it a lot easier to understand; well, not specifically easier – it helped in giving a more profound impact to the video. One of the things that really…
[youtube 8E3xYBG0FmE] This week’s AMV is Valentine’s day themed, and what better way to commemorate the day of love than with a CLANNAD AMV. A little bias was involved in the selection as CLANNAD is my favorite anime in regards to love and perseverance. I won’t go into much detail about the show so I…
[youtube xbpcu3C1PQQ] This weeks AMV of the day is Requiem for the God Emperor by rini10010 from YouTube. Coldplay’s Viva La Vida goes together perfectly with the character of Lelouch Vi Britannia, the character labeled as the Emperor for the AMV. Through his story and its development and his ascent to the Britannian Throne as…
When reading countless novels I look for those that stand out and show not only strong growth in character but also a more realistic way for “normal” people to develop. “Normal” referring to all us Muggles who don’t live in a world of fantasy. I hold nothing against fantasy novels but a novel where reality…
I’ve decided to kick of my posts with an AMV (anime music video) of the day. The motivation for this comes from my own personal interest if not pseudo-addiction to certain Anime series’ and their AMVs. This particular AMV is from Death Note. It focuses on the endeavors of a murdered blinded by self righteousness…
