Otakon 2006 AMV & Hirotaka Sozuoki Passes Away
VegettoEX @ 9:30 pm EDT -- Hi.

So in addition to Otakon taking up the entirety of last weekend for us, we lost our internet connectivity last Wednesday. Comcast came and fixed it earlier this week. The cause? Squirrels.

Anyway...

So since we're back from Otakon, that means it's time for a new Anime Music Video! Our (being Meri and myself) entry for the contest this year, featured in the Action category, is entitled My Fist Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon. It's a video to the series Hajime No Ippo (released domestically as Fighting Spirit). It's an awesomely fun video, and we really hope you enjoy it. Check it out over in the "Music Videos" section. Thanks to godofchaos, we also have a direct download in addition to the hosting provided by AnimeMusicVideos.org.

Also, I had totally forgotten to throw up last year's Iron Editor video from AWA. Holy crap. My bad. Be sure to check that out, and look forward to this Otakon's Iron Editor stuffage soon!

There WILL be a podcast this weekend. Fear not.

On a totally somber note, seiyuu Hirotaka Sozuoki has passed away. DB fans will know him best as Tenshinhan, but his extraordinary career has spanned so many other of this fan's favorite shows... he will be missed immensely.
