I just don't think that song fits thematically with the Whitebeard War. It wasn't some abstraction of bloodshed and suffering for a grand cause, it was a very personal struggle, a man going to save his son, friends fighting for friends, soldiers fighting for personal ideals and pride.

I've seen a few Fullmetal Alchemist AMVs that use This is War, and thats a great fit because its a HUGE sub-theme for the entire plot and the lyrics capture that same feeling as, say, Scar or Mustang's characters.

I still remember back when I first got into AMVs. Castor Troy was the master of putting DBZ and Slayers to random Megumi Hayashibara songs, 56k modems ran rampant, and true otaku had VHS rippers attached to their 386s. It wasn't until college that I had a connection fast enough to watch them with any consistency, though.

Fun fact: Xarxrax (the guy responsible for the AMV Hell series) was in my Japanese classes in college, and he was about as goony as you would loving expect. (Nice guy, though.)

This is way too fast and cluttered. I often love Gurren Lagann AMVs but the amount of layered poo poo and rapid-fire cutting in this makes it nearly incomprehensible.

Here's an AMV that gets a frankly ridiculous amount of views. I think it's got more views than the original OVER 9000 video. It is exceptionally well cut, if nothing else.

Almost anything by UTF2005 are gold as far as AMVs go, though. Easily my favorite AMV maker.

Kaiji/Akagi - Cobalt Blue by The Back Horn The best Akagi/Kaiji AMV I have seen, has some pretty good use of picture in picture.

The original creator removed/it got deleted, from their YouTube channel, but I managed go grab the high quality version he had linked before it went down, I'll put it up somewhere later.

It's on Viddler cause I uploaded it there a long time ago when you could still download the original.

The song was used in an ad for Arkham City, and the song has a real melancholic quality to it as it speaks to the kind of tone a good noir should have. In short, it's very apropos for Bebop.

First up is Mai doing a karaoke version of the the main theme.
Mai No Kakakata Katamoi
Hyadain himself turns up in the middle of it.
she cuts him off

Next is Annaka no pyon! Pyon! Ehhh!! sung by Annaka i.e. Eeehhh?! girl i.e. the girl with the giant ribbon. It's ridiculous and I can't stop laughing about it.

There's a ton more great and/or silly songs from the rest of the cast if you poke around those playlists too.
