I just came back from the Masquerade at Anime Next.
I was told that the AMV Awards were cancelled.
Was there anything wrong?

We were told that the coordinators had to make a hasty departure from the con...so yeah...no awards after Masquerade. But other than that we have no details (I hope everything is okay). One of us will be at closing ceremonies to get any news. But we may have to wait a few days for it to get posted on the internet.

Yikes. I wonder what happened. Did the contest showings go like normal?

Yikes. I wonder what happened. Did the contest showings go like normal?

We didn't see all of them, but we do know that the one late on Friday night had to be canceled because the person who did the last-minute scheduling of the additional contest showings didn't know that the room had already been reserved for a secret meeting (since it was too secret to be on the schedule).

Other than that, the ones we saw (or saw parts of) seemed to go fine.

Congrats to the winners and Runners up

--Edited by ReligionX to be polite--

I have lined up a pair of individuals to take my place for next year. I had planned to take a break from staffing conventions many months ago. I won't say anything official at this point, as it would be best for them to be official AnimeNEXT staff, just in case.

If you are reading this and the playlist isn't posted, I am in the process of compiling and posting it.
