Otakon and AnimeUSA 2013 GigaThread!

I am a bit confused why my video was put in the upbeat/dance category o.o Seems like really bad sorting there, but nonetheless congrats to the winners!

[LC_Lapen]

Y'know, just seeing my video on the ticket is reward enough for me.

Congrads, cheers, and etcetera to all who were involved!

[Parodic Productions]

Congratulations to all the winners! Great con all around.

See you all next year.

Not to be a bother, but does anyone have a list of the overflow AMVs that were shown?

I'd really just like to know if mine was (I was there, just didn't get a chance to actually make it to overflow because stuff), but I'm sure there are others also wondering...

There will probably be a list posted sometime soon.

I really enjoyed the con and the contest! Hosting Iron Editor was a lot of fun and it was a pleasure to meet a number of you. I'm looking forward to next year already. I really like the new space.

This year's pre-contest "Notice" screen shown before the contest started:

NOTICE: The Otakon 2013 AMV Contest features plot spoilers, borderline gratuitous violence, girls in skimpy outfits, giant skinless dudes, that "Radioactive" song that's always on the radio, showtunes, sexual innuendo, Sponge Bob, more sexual innuendo, loud noises, and also they've got a tank.

It's that awesome. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I wasn't even paying attention to this at first and then Taylor tapped me on the shoulder to read it. I was a little stunned, but then I cracked up.

Two thumbs up to the Trailer category this year. Way to knock it out of the park guys!

The real winners this year were honestly just... the entire Trailer category. So... very... good.

Thanks. It was probably the best I've seen for the category as a whole since its implementation. Everybody really brought it and the audience seemed to really enjoy them too. Speaking of which, I guess we can start rolling out the links:
