A rather interesting video has popped up on the interwebs recently, showing an unusual encounter between Hatsune Miku and Ika Musume. It features music from the Ys series, and also contains fight scene references from quite a few video game and anime sources. This cute and very well done CG animation was created by fGiMr on youtube, and was done in a Japanese CGI creation tool called Shade. Those who want to skip straight to the action can simply start at 5:00 in the video. Otherwise, enjoy the show!

Miku makes a beautiful witch, yes? Image found via pixiv.

It’s the time of year where the air is starting to get chilly, and the nights are getting longer. People start to get festive and decorate their homes and dress in in various costumes. To help with the spirit of Halloween, enjoy this dark track from AVTechNO! You can find the track in the CRYONICS album.

A fancy ska inspired original track with a badass guitar riff!
