Fast forward 2 1/2 years, I've changed Universities, changed my major (to one that centers around video production), and I'm happy to say hello again to a-m-v.org! The guides and helpful message board exchanges I recieved here were the first baby steps in helping me change my life and I'm happy to contribute any AMV here that I can.
This past year was pretty difficult, I just finished my 5th year of college, and yet I have not yet completed a bachelors degree (the result of my long search for a "calling" during my first 3 years of college). It sounds almost like a line out of Van Wilder, but amazingly, next year I will be a 6th year Senior at my university. I'll skip the details for now, but I'll say that this video is something I have struggled with for 7 months, even though it looks like I made it on a weekend. Even though I should feel down right now considering my R/L circumstances, I feel that this year so far has been successfully, if only because I am able to bring show everyone this video this morning.

The video is called America. The idea came to me when I heard the song featured in this video. It reminded me that like America, Japan (as reflected in anime, at least), has a strong taste for consumerism, sports, and like us, they think watching a good ol' ass kicking makes for good TV.


Feel free to leave opinions (I need some!
