Code Monkey AMV

submitted by Zifnab

1 decade 6 years 10 months 2 weeks ago

This AMV features the song Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton, using footage from the anime Black Heaven.

It was a finalist at Anime Expo 2007 AMV Contest.
At Animazement 2007 it won Best in Show.
I've heard it did well at Dragoncon 2007

A lot of people ask where the song is available, you can buy it at Jonathan Coulton's website for 0.99 or from itunes for the same price. Its released under the Creative Commons license, which grants use for projects like this. Thanks Jonathan!

Others have asked about the anime, Legend of Black Heaven. This anime is about a man who was in a rock band in his younger days, but they broke up as the members grew up and got married. Years later, in a dead end job and dull marriage, he's approached by aliens who want him to play his music to save them. (From YouTube)
