Wow. I'm quite surprised I managed to win a category. Thank you to all who nominated and voted for Insomnia!
Congratulations to all other winners too. My favourites won only in four categories, but all who made it to the winning round were quality videos. I'd also like to thank Phade, AD and the rest of AnimeMusicVideos.Org staff for organising the contest.

Ookay, that was.. unexpected.
I was pretty certain Narutrix was on the bottom of the pile -- it'd already lost to Little Tortilla Boy once ;) and Sasuke Must Die or Lord of the Yen looked pretty sure to stomp on all in their path.. o.O
Thanks to all who voted for my little project \o/ certainly made my day. Guess I should really get back to the big project..
Good to see Tsumibito no kashou in there, as well as AMV hell as most original, and SB was pretty much a given for vid of the year anyway..
Greed vs Envy was a bit odd though. While I love the video it's not really much of an AMV, lacking so much as a single frame of anime as it does ;)
Still, good work all round, and congrats to all who made it in!

I just wanted to say congratulations to all of the winners, but also to those who didn't take home any awards at all. I think there were a lot of great vids and it might be totally different results if we did it over. Who knows, right? Personally I didn't even think my vid should be in the running for more than "best action" and I certainly didn't hope to win it, but thanks anyways. Omedetou again to all, and I hope to see some great vids from all the artists in the future.

That's what I mean though. Some of the videos that were in multiple categories shouldn't have won them because there were obviously videos more suited for the category. And I didn't even realise Eva Bebop was an insturmental... This may or may not be a suggestion for next year, but possibly comb through the videos to make sure they're in the CORRECT category? There was a bunch of misplacement this year, from what I saw, and that lead to some pretty good videos not making it into the finals.flint_the_dwarf wrote:I don't want to start a big debate or anything, and I sure as hell don't mean to insult Scintilla, but I don't think Eva Bebop really should have won Best Instrumental. This is just my opinion. But I think there were at least two other videos that better suited the category, and fit far better as an instrumental video.Brsrk wrote:On the better side, I'm glad to see that some videos actually won the category(ies) that they were meant for. Eva Bebop, AMV Hell and Shounen Bushido just to name a few.
It seems, and this is unavoidable, that people voted Eva Bebop for their favorite video that happened to have no vocals. I'm sure we all have different opinions on how instrumental videos are best portrayed, so I'll end here. Scintilla, congratulations, and I mean you no disrespect.
That's also the other reason I was highly disappointed. He released one guide and 4 videos, 3 of which are downloadable. I did not see how it was even possible for Creator of the Year, but I was suprised at Most Helpful. I'd have seen someone else winning that, but since he did put out a really helpful guide, I can see him taking that spot.flint_the_dwarf wrote:To be fair, I thought either you or Arigatomina should have won Most Helpful, and I've said that from the start. I simply haven't heard much from Vic, so that was a surprise.
Here's what I mean by videos that shouldn't be in a category that they shouldn't. The prime example is Shounen Bushido (not to pick on it or anything, but congrats to you istiv for your 3 awards). It was up for Best Character Profile, I didn't see how it was since there were a ton of other characters singing along also instead of just following one or two people. There wasn't a ton of action in the video, IMHO, and there was something else, but I can't remember what it was. It was definately a sure-win for Best Lip-sync because pretty much everything was done very, very well.
I don't know how many people voted on videos base on whether or not they saw them, but I think it would be better if everyone who voted had the time to download the videos and give everyone a fair shot. I wasn't able to vote in some categories because I hadn't seen any of the videos, and some of the creators I had never even seen a video to. I admit to that, but I saw pretty much every finalist video, and I have to admit again, it was hard to chose between.
Either way, there were some disapointments, some suprises and some not supirses for the winners. Again, congrats to the winners and good luck in the future

I have the same question. How come vids on Wonderful Days get disqualified as being non-anime while a cartoon hand-drawn by a Canadian guy gets the prizes? I mean, it's very nice and sweet and all, but where is the justice?Inertia wrote:Greed vs Envy was a bit odd though.

Also, I want to say, I'm very happy for all those who had my voice and won: ScorpionsUltd, Tyler_yj, Janzki, Scintilla, Zarxrax, istiv.
The major disappointment of the year was Best Horror/Terror Video. Maybe it's about time to rename the nomination to "Best Parody on Horror/Terror Video".

I'm so hated for being different....
Quoteing AMV faq's
"we are lenient with anime-inspired original animated or drawn creations that the members have made."
Also.... I am FEMALE... it's anime style.. and of an anime... so.. really i'm not breaking any rules... and there is music involved...

It was there because the creator ticked the box and because hundreds of people agreed by voting for it. While you may not agree, this is the Viewers Choice. The public have spoken.Brsrk wrote:The prime example is Shounen Bushido (not to pick on it or anything, but congrats to you istiv for your 3 awards).

We did remove some entries from the running but with something like Character Profile it is a matter of interpretation and opinion and when it comes to a matter of opinion we leave whatever the creator put on the video entry. Anything else would have been the AD&Phade choice awards.
P.S. Just to remind everyone I'd like people to be respectful toward the creators - it is not their fault that they have won certain things, it is the members who did the voting. This is not directed at an individual but instead just a reminder to not make someone feel bad for winning. They didn't ask to win but they did deserve to because they got the most votes, whether you agree or not.
