Sorry to keep you all waiting, but I had to wait for real life to stop booting me in the quarters long enough to do this. I had to finish this up right on the con weekend (which meant I had to miss big chunks of the con), so please forgive (and politely correct) any errors below.
First of all, apologies to Nicole Varone. I mixed up the music credits for her two submissions at the contest showing; they are corrected below. Links to the entries/entrants on the Org are added as I find them. If I miss any and they're available here, please let me know and I'll edit this post to include them. In playing order:
The opening screen:
WARNING:
The Naru 2 U 2010 AMV Contest contains plot spoilers, good and bad music (which is subjective, anyway), subtitles, swordswomen, bandits, three passports, a couple of visas, a Lambourghini, vampire priests, actual visual kei, a magical catgirl, some manga, teen angst and traces of diatomaceous earth.
