Been meaning to ask: which copy of my video is in the contest? The good copy or the one with the farts?

Two thumbs up to the Trailer category this year. Way to knock it out of the park guys!

The real winners this year were honestly just... the entire Trailer category. So... very... good.

I am a bit confused why my video was put in the upbeat/dance category o.o Seems like really bad sorting there, but nonetheless congrats to the winners!

Y'know, just seeing my video on the ticket is reward enough for me.

Congrads, cheers, and etcetera to all who were involved!

Not to be a bother, but does anyone have a list of the overflow AMVs that were shown?

I'd really just like to know if mine was (I was there, just didn't get a chance to actually make it to overflow because stuff), but I'm sure there are others also wondering...
