I’ve decided to write about what I like to see in AMVs and what I don’t like. If you don’t know what a AMV is for some strange odd reason, google it.
I watch AMVs quite often and have edited before as well, so I felt the need to write this post.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to announce. When I came to my senses not long ago, I found myself deep in a heap of cogs, springs and screws, and the air was hot and wet from all the steam around. And I loved it. I have finally found something to answer on music genre preferences questions, same goes for anime and films. I love Steampunk, and this intimate hooting affection has no plans of going away too easily. Wherewith I am thoroughly happy.
Steampunk is an intermedial genre that can be viewed as the opposite of cyberpunk. While cyberpunk revolves around the electricity-driven future, steampunk is the essence of false hopes in the 18th and 19th centuries, when the people believed the power of steam and imagined all kinds of machines powered by it. You could say it’s the sci-fi of those ages, and the cult of the loud and hot machines is weak nowadays, yet it lives through, and maybe it will occupy wider masses somewhen again.
My first ever steampunk experience was Miyazaki’s Laputa, shortafter one of my favourites, Steamboy, and of course Howl’s Moving Castle. But they didn’t get me ‘into’ the genre. What did it was music. Beginning with the self-proclaimed world emperor Dr. Steel, then the narratorish Clockwork Dolls, fast fading into the fabulous Clockwork Quartet, followed by the Vernian Process. Out of these I would like to point your attention to the Clockwork Quartet, which is a relatively new band that needs attention and support, and whilst it is the case for every goddamn band on the Earth’s surface and under, this one totally deserves it.
I am currently compiling a list of all steampunk anime, through which I will go to become one of the so rare steampunk connoisseurs in the anisphere. My help in the compiling are forums, chats, friends and acquaintances and of course databases (which often have the desired tag missing). It seems like there are only a handful of anime series and films inspired by steampunk, but that just makes it easier for me to watch them all. Since the information sources are unconfirmed, I cannot put the list up yet. But I plan on doing so right after I finish my steamy marathon and grow out of the puns I seem to not stop intending.
Beauty is subjective.
It is rare for two people to have the same thoughts on a piece of art. I think that makes the concept of art as beautiful as the works it produces.
So! I’ve compiled 25 beautiful, loosely anime art styled images to share with whoever wishes to read this post, and while you may not agree with my views on each work exactly, I do hope you may share in the beauty regardless.
Otaku locked in room playing galges? Here’s NOT how to cure them!
People like… Satou from NHK!
So I recently read Otaku no Musume-san Chapter 44 and laughed my ass off at how Kouta was such a weak man. Strong men wouldn’t cry over spilled milk, they’ll just go buy a new one. In other words, Kouta should have just found a new woman to love and desire to bang her instead. Read More »
