I myself am quite pleased with the contest, and not just because my video won it's category either. The videos that made finalist were great in their own aspects and overall the bar you had to jump to win was high.

Your videos shall become part of my collection, the assimilation process will be quite harmless I assure you. Resistance is futile.

Congratulations on the win. I pretty much knew from the get-go that you would win the category (jeez those dancing icons are just so darn CUTE! hee) and I'm kinda glad you gave me a run for my money.

Again, the finalists' videos this year were a great step up in quality all across the board. Despite the problems, you pulled out a great contest, Vic. Great job, Vic, and congratulations to the winners. :)

If you didn't vote, you can't complain!

Well, actually you can. Historically Ohayocon has been a cosplay-con, and the AMV contest struggled to fill 2 hours. This year even with the un-prime-time scheduling, the record attendance and submissions convinced the higher-ups that there is now a strong AMV presence at Ohayocon and in addition to better screening time, we are already discussing some VERY unique and cool options for next year's contest.

BTW, what AMV creators actually came to Ohayocon? Aside from staff, I only saw NG silver personally the entire weekend. It's like ya'll were hiding from me! *sniff* and I even wore the good deodorant!

Thanks to everyone who submitted this year, and congrats to the winners. And now, time for a nap. Who's in? ;)
