OTAKU MADNESS: If real life was like anime

Being an otaku is a way of life, so when our lives are fuelled by anime, it is no surprise that we take on board anime-like traits and behaviours. Don’t get what we mean? Watch the video above to find out! 

WHEN 2D MEETS 3D: Tribute to Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki 

Just like any aspiring animator out there, Animator “Dono” has demonstrated his love for Studio Ghibli by taking his time to create a tribute for Hayao Miyazaki — aka one of the world’s greatest animators in history. Clipping characters out from various Ghibli films and placing them into beautiful 3D backdrops, Dono has created something that is absolutely mesmerising.

Just imagine all the time and effort that took him to assemble the animation together! If this animation isn’t enough to prove a fan’s absolute devotion to Miyazaki, then we don’t know what is. To view the original HQ video: https://vimeo.com/134668506

Forget about American reality TV shows — it’s time for Anime’s Got Talent!! In this Japan Expo 2015 AMV Contest video, we see a massive line-up of super talented anime characters vying for the judges’ vote.

With many different personalities competing on the show including Naruto (Naruto Shippuden) and Luffy (One Piece), it is no wonder why people love the world of Japanese animation and its characters. Everything about this video was done remarkably well and it’s hard to believe that it was created within a two-months time-frame.
