Someone's bound to start this thread sooner or later...

yeah but the awaa thread was started two or three months in advance as well... i think jbone just wanted to go ahead and provide the place for discussion.

Speaking of Ushicon, here are the AMV guidelines they have about the showcase...

http://www.ushicon.com/vidshowcase.html

No Linkin Park or Limp Biscuit


Is anyone else seriously put off by this statement? I have no huge love for either musical artist, nor do I have any videos using either (unless you count Fluxy's birthday vid), but what the fuck kind of showcase is this where you cant use certain types of music or anime?

Im now very happy that these fucking dolts arnt holding a contest.

If they didn't say that, they'd probably get inundated with those, anyway, and they wouldn't have played any.

At least this way, they're being straightforward ahead of time, and people can save time and effort sending in stuff that wouldn't get played, anyway.

5. No Dragonball Z ^_~


That's about 80% of their entries.

Seriously, what kind of fucked up showcase is this? It seems like it's run by some elitist anime snobs. :?

Videos should have a max length around 4 minutes. Over 5 minutes is right out


Nobody will even bother to submit to this thing...

Tell the Ushicon staff to fire the person running this!

I met these people. They blew myself and some others off like it was nothing. They are very self important and evidently, pretty elitist as well.

Jbone, I would definatly agree with your point...if they were applying it to a competition. But this is a showcase. What the fuck kind of showcase restricts its video length to 5 minutes or less and dosnt allow certain music and anime?
Maybe Im just sore, because these people were very very rude to me, treatment I was most certainly not deserving of.

If Ushi wasnt a large gathering of good friends that I only get to see a few times a year, I wouldnt even bother attending.
