If you’d asked me about fan-videos a couple of years ago, I would have pictured anime scenes set to a reasonably-appropriate Western rock song.

Just thought it was pretty darn cool (even with the blatant pandering at the end).

Saw that a bit back linked from Penny Arcade. Very shiny.

Edit; I remembered [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGG8BKYqiiw), which is also great.

Heh—I just posted this to the “favorite YouTube clip” thread, not five minutes ago, before even seeing this thread.

I wish I’d paid $9 to see _that_ in the theaters instead of either of the Matrix sequels.

It amuses me for many, many, many reasons.

Or this one, from CoH, that a friend in game made.
