AMV of the Week???

Announcement Time!!!!
So, I've been messing around with new ideas that I could do as 'segments' for my blog. I thought the reviewing of different AMV's may be a good place to start off with as they are not too long and they come in a variety of genres.
So if you are totally lost and don't know what an AMV is it basically stands for Anime Music Video. Simply, creators will edit different scenes from their favourite anime's and put it to music. They will usually try to match up the clips as close to the music as they can. AMV's can be intended to be humorous, or to spoof. They might want to ship a specific couple from the anime or they may want to just focus on a specific arc of the anime.
If anyone has any suggestions of what AMV I should review first, please comment and let me know because I would be glad to! If I don't get any suggestions, I'll most probably dig out one that I have seen and review that. I hope you're all looking forward to it!!

One Piece Ch. 566 - Fierce Attack
*SPOILERS AHEAD!! READ WITH CAUTION!!!*Review
Luffy going up against the 3 Admirals didn't go so well for him. They all got the better of him. I guess that shows that Luffy still has a whole lot to learn about the World Government if he wants to make it to New World. Crocodile really shone here saving Ace in the way that he did. I'm intrigued by the relationship between him and DoFlamingo (other than the fact that Crocodile was once a Shichibukai). I'm looking forward to see how that fight goes, not to mention seeing Marco stand up to the 3 Admirals was amazing!
I really thought that Whitebeard's pirates would have had no hope of getting through the wall but I loved how they made it through. I absolutely loved the fact that Oars ended up carrying the ship through and that finally penetrated through the wall. It's nice to know that Luffy has more back up.
Now that Whitebeard has finally unsheathed his sword, this war is really going to get interesting. Not to mention that he has invoked both Sengoku and Garp into joining the fight now. I would love to see Whitebeard fighting the two of them off, as well as learning what Sengoku's ability actually is. Once again, Oda hasn't failed to present something brilliant.
Bleach Ch. 384 - Can't Fear Your Own Sword
*SPOILERS AHEAD!! READ WITH CAUTION!!*Review
So Tousen ends up using Hollowfication on himself. Not very surprising. I didn't find his Hollow mask the most creative, in fact I thought it was very bland. But it doesn't really matter what it looks like as long as it can do something worthwhile. So far, all of Tousen's 'upgraded' abilities that we saw were nothing out of the ordinary. Very plain. Maybe next chapter we'll get to see more of his new found power.
I did enjoy Hisagi's flashback. He has always been a character shrouded in mystery and it's nice that Kubo shed a little light on his character to make him seem a little more human. But I guess we've all taken a little something from this chapter. Never flashback when the enemy has a sword in his range and can stab you. Because, it will happen!
I hope the next fight isn't all "My Bankai is better so it will defeat you!!!" with no dire consequences to follow after. I would like to see tact used in the fight between Tousen and Komamura, not just charging in head first and paying for it afterwards.
Naruto Ch. 474 - Hokage's Resolution
*SPOILERS AHEAD!! READ WITH CAUTION!!*Review
So finally!! Naruto knows about Konoha's plan to eliminate Sasuke. About time I say. Sai revealing everything to Naruto brings about a breath of fresh air to the plot. Finally we all know what is going on and we can relax. Then Kakashi reveals that Sakura is most probably intending to kill Sasuke herself. I'm not sure how I feel about that bit of plot development. I understand how Sakura is tired of being the 'damsel in distress' and always having to rely on others, but to go after Sasuke?? I ask this question: What chance does she have if Naruto didn't even come close to capturing him??
I am glad that Gaara, Temari and Kankuro finally showed up to fill them in on the Kage's Summit. I hope Gaara, as well as every other character, will be able to finally persuade Naruto to let go of Sasuke. And of course there was never any doubt that Suna would protect the Kyuubi in the first place.
On the other hand, I like the sound of Kakashi for Hokage. He's strong, sensible and would do a good job in cleaning up Danzou's mess. As for Danzou, I'm intrigued by his upcoming fight with Madara. Let's just hope that it's done well and not screwed around with like the Hachibi vs. Kisame.

One Piece Strong World Ch. 0
*SPOILERS!!! READ WITH CAUTION!!!!!* Review
So this was the special that everyone was waiting for. If you didn't know what the hype of this chapter was all about, well basically it was said to be a prequel to the 10th One Piece Movie known as: One Piece Strong World. As well as being the 10th One Piece movie, Strong World also has the honour to be overseen by the creator of One Piece itself, Eiichiro Oda.
So chapter 0 starts off about 3 years before Gold Roger's execution and introduces us to a new character, Shiki also known as 'Golden Leo'. Now Shiki may be the main focus of some but just for a while I'm going to talk about all of the other characters. I absolutely loved the fact that Oda focused on just about everyone who was alive during that time. He went from the marines (Garp, Aokiji, Sengoku), to pirates (Shanks, Buggy, Rayleigh), to future shichibukai (Moria, Boa Hancock, Do Flamiongo, Hawkeye Mihawk, Crocodile) to many others.
The way Oda set up this chapter was amazing. Nothing was there to 'fill in the space'. All of the panels meant something, whether it was watching how Shiki formed his master plan or how the many other characters reacted to Roger's death. This chapter really set up the entire movie plot an I myself cannot wait for the movie!

Bleach Ch. 382 - The United Front - Discordeque Mix
*SPOILER ALERT!! CAUTION!!*Review:
This chapter wasn't the worst. Unohana realising that Ichigo's reiatsu is at Captain level when he is only at half strength wasn't the biggest surprise. We knew that he was the strongest of them all from the very beginning. I like that fact that humour is being brought back in the chapters. For example, Unohana's reiatsu compared to Ichigo's when they were travelling back to Karakura town. These small hints of humour make a chapter.
The highlight of this chapter for me was Byakuya and Kenpachi taking down Yammy. I love the fact that they are both so full of themselves that they don't think they are suited to give the final blow to Yammy. Of course Yammy getting up again didn't make things easier. I like how they finished off Yammy in the end. A very good finish and very satisfying.
Naruto Ch. 471 - Tailed Beast, Version 2
ReviewSo after two weeks of waiting we finally get to see Killerbee's and Kisame's fight. To tell you the truth, I'm a little disappointed. I was looking forward to see some cool Suiton (Water Techniques) in action from the both of them. But no. Didn't see any of that happening. Samehada's evolution was alright, but I think a little over dramatic. What happened to using good old fashioned jutsu to kicking each other's butt?? Nope instead they rely on their swords to grow and protect them from incoming chakra (Well in Kisame's case anyway).
Kisame's transformation wasn't half bad, but am I the only one who is getting sick of seeing everyone transform into something?? I mean Kishi, it's time to pull a new rabbit out of the hat. If you keep going on like this Naruto will dissolve before the end of the year!
