I'm not at Anime Boston, but I hope this is released at some point and I hope it is good. The song deserves a good AMV.

Indeed. I just got home, and I'm working on hunting them all down now. Stay tuned to the first post.

Also you can find Stranger than Deathnote on YT under watch?v=wYLXRLCZeFA for those looking.

Good grief, Bashar - I've got a t-shirt that says "Got anime?" on it that I usually wear to the con, and your new banner has just indelibly linked your video to that shirt. I am never going to get rid of the mental imagery, now.

Congratulations to everyone! I had a good time at the con and, as usual, the AMV competition was the highlight of the trip.

A lot of good videos this year. Congrats to everyone.

[Borihiei]

Just posted mine up


Also, here is the one that played in the Overflow

[naruhina115]

does anyone know where I can get the Modern Major Clusterfuck AMV they showed before the contest. Also where can I find the interactive one they did?

[Melichan923]

Congratulations to all the winners! I didn't get to go to the masquerade or any event after Friday night so I'm so glad I went to the Friday AMV Showing instead of skipping out like my stomach wanted me to! I got extremely sick from something. I didn't even step foot out of my hotel room all Saturday and Sunday until I had to leave. (Don't worry, not the swine flu, I think something I ate just didn't agree with my stomach.) I really wish I could have went to the Editor's choice meeting and the second AMV showing, but I was unable to make it.

Getting back to the contest though, the videos were unbelievable! Starting from the first video in the first category I didn't think the next could possibly compare but I was totally wrong. Every video just blew me away. It was possibly one of the best AMV showings at Anime Boston to date. It was really hard to pick a favorite in each category because all of them were amazing. Great job to all the finalists and winners!

I'll be downloading every video as soon as I fully recover and catch up on things. My videos should both be up within a week or two. Through Thick and Thin should be up within a couple of days and my Overflow AMV will be up soon after. Thanks to LantisEscudo for providing the links.
