Another Anime Con 2011 - Final ballot posted - winners: pg7

[BasharOfTheAges]

Other important non-results information:

1) Trophies / prizes should go out to the North American winners this week.
2) Next year's theme is 2012: Year of the Dragon.
3) Next year's venue is going to be in Manchester - the floor space of the con will increase by over 250% - This is the largest convention-friendly venue in the state.
3b) As a result of this move, I have petitioned for and been granted the run of an AMV room. I'm officially looking for staff.

Ileia... that Hellsing video is beyond amazing. I loved it!

I agree! There were a lot of amazing videos this year.

I still say the Lain video was a drama, not comedy, though.

Thank you.

And yeah, the Lain video could've gone either way, I noted that when I submitted. But it was my understanding that there were less videos in the comedy category, so I assume it went where it was needed.

It also had most of our prescreeners rolling with laughter - it made quite the impression on the audience too. IIRC it was tied for first after the first showing.

cool beans and grats to all the winners. Lots of awesome vids and sure the crowds were pleased watching all of them.

I would have to disagree about it being drama. There is simply no way anyone can take that video seriously, it's very much a sarcastic comedy.

[Ileia]

That's subjective.

Touché

It helps a lot if you've seen serial experiments lain. It helps a bit more if you've heard the original version of that song.

That and the fact that the song used was a parody.

Ileia, Ileia, Ileia... I have a new AMV goal-- to ambush you with a catchy song.

I had the Zomboleo song stuck in my head so badly after the masquerade that I was still intermittantly dancing to it 8 hours later. Great video, but now I'm scared to watch it.
