This year at Anime Expo 2009 some of the AnimeRoot crew sat in on the AMV re-screen. The AMV re-screen was in a small(er) room than the main event, but showed all the AMVs from this year’s contest, and also included some cool footage of Monty Oum’s Dead Fantasy series.
The best part though was probably that the line wasn’t absolutely huge (by mega-con standards).
This year’s comedy category winner, and winner of various other judge and fan choice awards was entitled “We Need You!” As the name, and the first few seconds of footage suggest, the AMV is put to the track of “Starship Troopers: We Need You!” After looking around for a while the AMV was nowhere to be found on the net, but sure enough after a few weeks have passed the AMV has hit Youtube and various other sites. AMV is embedded after the break!

It is not new by any means new news but Bandai has gone and created an alarm clock.. which they conveniently named “Gun o’ Clock”. It is essentially a clock with a big target on top with a gun accessory. While this is all fine and dandy.. it is their advertisement scheme that is priceless. Click the “Read more” tab for animated deminstraton on how it works. Its’ cool!

The rest of the day is looking to be prep.
