Going through old posts I found a video mashup made with clips from the Anime classic Akira and the Kanye West tune, “Stronger.” I thought it was cool because I hadn’t seen many mashups and I love Akira. This past week this newer mashup popped up in my feeds and the improvements over the past 16 years really shows. “Stronger” was cool to me because it was the first that seemed to honor Anime and Akira, but the Tears for Fears “Shout” mashup is a better track and is a great combination of both the music and the anime. Enjoy and Happy Monday, Internets!
