I wouldn't mind this, but either way i think we should keep the Best Storytelling category, I think that was a good one.

Some categories I've been thinking about for a while would be something to the effect of Best Overused Source and Best Underused Source, the best AMV with a popular anime [Naruto, Bleach, DBZ etc] and best with an anime that isn't used as much [Yugioh, King of Bandit Jing, Alien Nine].

Figuring out what qualifies as underused might be a little tricky [For example, Yugioh has 2389 cataloged AMVs, but almost all of those are the downloaded footage, logo-in-the-corner type that dont even get announced], but I think it would be neat to give those more obscure anime their own spotlight, as well as seeing what I imagine would be the most original videos using those ever-so popular sources in the Overused category.

- Best unoriginal AMV. An amv that fits the unoriginal category, but was the best edited of the non-original.
- Best short-amv. The best amv that was under 2 minutes maybe ?
- Best beat sync (How this one hasn't been done yet I have no idea)
- Best use of a single anime
- Best Nostalgic AMV

I support that, at least keeping the Best storytelling category.

Otherwise, Best original video, but difficult to do without filter (maybe with the "other" filter)
And Best use of live video.

We can name it something far better though. (best strange) (AMV most likely to have come from bizzaro world)

The reason is this.

We have a category for pretty much every other check box on our filter list.
There is one for dance, one for fun, one for comedy, one for lipsynch, special effects, character profile, action etc.

but not one for "other"

Don't the videos that are cool and unique get their own chance in the VCAs?

Alot of category suggestions fail because there is no way to filter for such videos easily, but for the "other" category there is already a built in filter. There is no reason not to include these wonderful albiet strange videos into the VCA contest.


(also best dinosaur)
:dino:


I approve that.
Also : Why the fuck isn't there a psychedelic category ?

Best Storytelling is a category we must keep :up:

I'd really like Best Storytelling to stay permanently as a category.
Other than that, Best Other/Psychodelic and Best Short. Lifetime Achievement also sounds good.

I definatly want to see Best Storytelling/Best Other to stay.

Isn't Best Livetime Achievement a Judge Choice Award thingy. Seriously. How can the regular audience judge this in a good way? :|

Best cute video...

it would be the video that is so full of cute that it makes you want to puke your eyes out...

on the other hand we can also have best gross video, which would also make you want to puke your eyes out but for glaringly different reasons...

We could also always use a "wtf" category... or a crack category - I think either would cover for Dino's "other" category... however lots of the videos marked with "other" aren't exactly what Dino thinks as other... so just going off the checkmark wouldn't exactly work...

I think we need "crack" (or "WTF") and "psychedelic" categories to check on our video profiles btw...

JCAs use the same setlist/categories as the VCAs. That's part of the point. So if there is no award in the VCAs, unless Nya decides to modify the rules, said award will not exist in the JCAs.

And I think any viewers that really follow AMVs should come up with many of the same nominees you or I could.
