Whoa...Coordinator's Choice!? Thank you!

Contrats to everyone, it looks like it was a pretty fun time. I'm very glad to see Evil Island stole the show in the trailer category - there are trailer AMVs and then there are trailers which happen to be AMVs, and her's falls into the latter category, as far as I'm concerned!
