Do we want to advertise/start hyping the VCAs with a site-wide news post linking to this forum?

I feel that its much more clear this way and would also be more consistent with the other categories (Best Use of Multiple Anime, Best Use of Instrumental Music, Best Use of Special Effects, and Best Use of Lip Synch)
I posted this in the "Best Single Source" thread, but I'm adding it here in case it didn't get seen. I really feel that changing the name of this category will help clear up people's confusion and ambiguity about it.

Since one could say that "Source" could refer to audio, what about "Best Use of Single Anime"? (to contrast "Best Use of Multiple Anime")

yes, I think that would be a great change. Would that change also allow people to vote for videos that use multiple seasons/ movies of series that are technically different sources but realistically are the same anime?

Well, that's a question. While I see cases where it could go through, it would probably raise more issues about what is and what isn't the same anime. Like all Macrosses are technically the same universe, but the main heroes and the art style over the decades differs a lot.
But mostly, it would be tough to check, because it would have to be checked manually, I guess. Going by "one anime in anime source" is the easiest way, even though it bugs me that I can't abuse all Hidamari Sketch series ;3

The thing is, to generate the nominations page, the system goes and finds videos with one video source, and there's no easy way to say that multiple entries from the same franchise might be allowed.
