Today is a pensive day in Panda's playground!

While I sit here quite contented. This video came to me front and centered.
Enjoy!

Finish What You Start...

And Panda said onto thee, "Let there be Videos!"
And there were
And they were Totally PAWSOME!

Good afternoon lovers of the sisters of ESH. I've finally decided to stop being a lazy anime that I thought was a bear but [to my surprise] is actually related to the racoon family! I digress so let me continue. I've decided that now it's time for my to share video's of my favorite Anime Openings. Sometimes when it comes down to the point where I may or may not give a favorable rating, I will turn to the music selection. Is this a hit or miss way to do it? You be the judge!

The first one I have to put up for viewingis from the series I nicknamed the "Happy Slasher" Why? do you ask...well... here is the simple equation for that. Take MOE girls+ sadistic torture+ moments of utter paranoia and insanity divide that by the amount of times I had to pause the DVD and walk away x the nights that I couldn't sleep because I feared for my life!

The series is called "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" or in English "When They Cry" It is sung by Eiko Shimamiya. Now the first video I'm going to show is the opening for the anime, however the second video is Eiko's actual music video... Enjoy!



Many people that I hold conversations with about this serious are surprised by how much I thought the opening was beautiful. I thought it was very upbeat...something may be wrong with me. XD

Now look at the actual video...


Yeah... I know...

The second favorite opener for me comes from an anime called Paradise Kiss. Now I know you guys know I'm a person of the female variety, but what you may not know is I'm a clothes horse [That's right I admit it!] So this opening kinda makes me want to walk down a runway which is why I like it so much... The song is called "Lonely In Gorgeous" and it sung by Tomoko Kawase who [if you guys heed the words of KBD]is also known as Tommy February6



Now for a little twist...Here is the actual video for the song.


I know what you are thinking and sadly the only thing I can think to say is....
XD

The third in my list is from Full Metal Alchemist. It is the 4th Opening to the series. It is called Rewrite and it's done by Asian KungFu Generation. If you aren't a fan of these guys then we can no longer be friends. That's all I have to say to you. Go fix it...Now!



Here is what the band actually looks like when they rock their faces off. [In my opinion, I think they are hot... but thats me...]



My next favorite is the second opening for Bleach. [Yes I was a bleach lover for quite sometime!] The song is called UVERworld and it is done by a band calling themselves D-technolife
For hardcore fans I'm sure you already know the leetness but don't ruin it for everyone else.



And now for the uberness that is D-technolife


So there are some of my favorites! Granted I have loads more and I do plan to share them with you as time goes on! Do you have a favorite that you think I would love better than the ones I showcased...well then tell my about them, Hell Show me instead [I <3 visuals]
Keep a look out for my Playlist for anime Closers!
Ja Ne!

When television isn't enough..youtube makes it all better!

Pandalicious in the hizzie fo rizzie! Have you ever been on your couch flipping through channels wishing the most random things would come on? [You aren't the only one let me tell you] Well I am aiming to remedy this desire for randomness. Over the next few weeks I will be searching the infinite series of tubes to bring forth the most random [BUT INTERESTING] Youtube videos. They will be very random, and will not always fall under the realms of my geek chic forte of anime and manga. I thought to start this whole thing off with a little trip down memory lane. The wonder lane of Anime Boston 2K8

The first one is the best in show of this years convention.
Sadly it wasn't the one I voted for personally. If there is anything people love it's CG and then KH so apparently CG+KH= Best in Show. Enjoy!


Next comes another CG favorite. It got best concept if my memory doesn't fail me. [after seeing it I could definately see why!]


Now here is one of my personal favorites, it was a finalist but it did not take home one of the spots of the "Bests"


This Video got Best Editing. [FOR GOOD REASON] It's so bubbly..and makes me wanna bounce, all day long...


This one was my choice for best comedy....did it win? You tell me?

The last one I think I'll share will be for the ladies...It is too cute to pass up!


At the end of all of this, I can only say that the talents that have been showcased here are uncanny. I only wish I had a fourth of it. I can only imagine how good next years AMVS will be.

So? Did you like these videos? Have a favorite you wanna share with me? Send it to me here at the site! If its UBERLY SHIBBY who knows I might link it and give you props. [Oh Of course I'll give you props... I ain't no thief Geebuz]

Surprise Present!

The one thing that was brought to our attention at this year's Anime Boston 2K8 was that talent has reached OVER 9000! [But no seriously] Not only were the costumes insane and the energy is off the hook but animation took place but that is not all. Music has been written and that is not all...They were put together and this is what it made...Enjoy [As a disclaimer this awesomeness isn't something that I myself made. [[I WISH I HAD HALF THIS TALENT]] However I figured all facets of the geekdom would love this!
Brought from the interwebs of cyberspace....from the hot new band...L33tStr33t Boys!! "YURI THE ONLY ONE FOR ME!"
