   New Format?
OK everybody, here's how it's gonna’ go down. I'm going to try a funner, more organized format for posting. It will be separated into fun sections, some will be daily, and others will appear once or twice a week, such as the following: Info, Prayer Lists, AMV Reviews, Pics, Artwork, Blurbs, etc. So, what do ya say we try it out?

Song of the Day:
"Battery", by Metallica

Post:
Are you liking the new format? ^_^

Blurbs:
*My good Otaku friend Naru Atshushi is now open for requests!
*Lindsey (ElvesAteMyRamen) is still seeking recruits for her World Domination Task Force...I mean...Yuki Fan Club. Yes, that's right, Yuki Fan Club.
*Miyoko-chan is now an official Prayer Club member!

Pathetic Plea for HTML Help:
Does anybody know how do I put stuff in bold print on my blog? Or does anybody know how to make a link that when clicked takes you to the desired destination? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Prayer List:
My Pastor
xSakurax
MichaelsGirl91
The Victims of the Christmas Day Tsunami
Akane the Fox, her friend, and her friend's boyfriend in Re-hab
Miyoko-chan (she's dreading a humiliating Dr. Seuss play. Who wouldn't?)

Artwork Deserving a Mention:


Naru Atshushi was nice enough to draw me this wonderfully cute pic. I didn't even request it! Isn't it wonderful? How did she know I'm a fan of mermaid pics? ^_^d

AMV Reviews:

*NOTE*: These DO NOT reflect judgment on the people who posted these, only the artists that created said AMV's.

Title: Kenshin's Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Song: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day
Anime: Ruroni Kenshin and Samurai X
Artist: Athena
Where to find it on The Otaku:
Living Doll's homepage (the "Doll House")
Why you'd like it:
*Emotional scenery, made even more emotional with the choice of theme music.
*Excellent musical choice.
*Great choice of which scenes to include.
*C'mon, who doesn't love Kenshin?
Why you might not:
*Though not the artist, or Living Doll's fault, low quality due to compression reduces the experience. (Damn you, VideoDesk)
*The choice of darker shaded scenes makes it a dreary and odd trip.
Score:
7.5 out of 10
Final Analysis:
Scene transitioning and memorable event choreography makes it a great watch for any Kenshin fan. Though people who aren’t fans of the series may not enjoy it for what it really is.

Title: "Wanna' get Dirty"
Song: "Dirty", by Christina Aguilera
Anime: Amazing Nurse Nanako (am I the only one that's NEVER heard of this anime?)
Artist: Jenn Rose
Where to find it on The Otaku:
Raven8763's home page.
Why you'd like it:
*Insanely high quality
*Excellent sync up of music and imaging. Usually artists REALLY screw-up when they try to edit characters in the vid into "singing along" with the lyrics. But this artist did it perfectly!
*Hilarious and fast-paced scene selections.
*Super cute characters.
*Oversized anime jugs?
Why you might not:
*It's a personal thing, but I can't stand Cristina Aguilera! (*cough-slut-cough*)
*Over-glossed animation in the anime makes everything look like it's been lubricated and wrapped in Saran Wrap.
*This may be a blinding flash of the obvious, but this video is REALLY dirty. Dirty anime + dirty song = filthy, unsanitary AMV. But hey, maybe some of you like AMV's like that. "Ring the Alarm"! XD
*The..."female anatomy"...in this anime is...far over-animated. You know what I'm talking about.
*Super graphic intensive, which means a long wait until you can watch it in its entirety.
*This anime is beyond over-sexed. I'm a guy, and I watched the video, and anybody who gets a buzz off of that is in need of some real counseling.
Score:
6 out of 10
Final Analysis:
The editing and syncing work was beyond amazing in this AMV. It really blew me away. Bright colors, awesome action scenes and animation that's smooth as butter made this one amazing ride. This video could have been a 10 out of 10, but the over-sexual content, sticky/shiny animation, and beyond overall dirtiness (duh) really left me with the absolute compulsion to pray. It's worth a view if you have a good connection, 10 extra minutes and a very mature persona. I just hope that in the near future Raven8763 will post some more wholesome AMV's. Of course, she may be "too dirty to clean her act up". XD Just kidding!

(*Phew!*), AMV reviews take a while to write! OK guys, I'll see you tomorrow!
