Nope, if the main part of the video is anime that is still ok. And it was, afaik he used a good amount of GITS Innocence

But he used a song with no name for his hellsing's amv ( * DJ Rain (unknown)) : i dunno if that's true but he might get disqualified for that considering rule #4 (All music video information in the catalog must be as correct as possible. For example, all music and anime information must be filled in correctly without errors such as "various" or "unknown" as the anime title, musical artist, or song. If a video creator fails to correct all of their video information before the deadline (listed below), all of the videos created by that creator will be disqualified from consideration this year.)

Anton Kleshchyov´s videos are the best ...

my 5 cents to this discussion:

1) Mystery Conundrum
gypsy (Christo Leone)
everybody, watch this video. I'm surpriced noone mentioned it before. I'ts so good in so many ways. Particularly with special effects. Not overused but simply an eyecandy
2)Olin
DrngdKreationz (Carlos Melendez)
3) Secret Waltz
Pianos (Toshiya Okuyama)

alright, I have just watched
Another Half by NetTroop (NetTroop Studio)

and you can forget everything I said before. That is the video that deserves it the most. It's increadible. Special effects on absolutely different level. Unbelievable.

NetTroop -> respect respect respect

ok, sorry guy for flooding but I noticed at the end of Another Half video there is some info about AKROSS. I became curious and I researched it. The thing that I speak Russian helped as well.

Anyways, it's an Organisation of Russian AMV Creators. Just a while ago they had a competition analogous to our annual Viewers Choice Award. I downloaded some of the winner AMVs and I'm telling you those are worthy. You can take a look
http://www.akross.net.ru/data/contest/v_best.html
Even though language is Russian, it's not a problem to navigate b/c it's simply a download page with links to different AMVs.
Btw, Scorpions Ultd is a member of it as well and his Whisper of the Beast got Best Action.

For special effects I'd highly recommend to watch this video:

HOLY FU**KING SHIT!

I've just downloaded THE MOST CREEPY Elfen Lied video I've ever seen in that website (note: DON'T WATCH IT IN THE DARK).

Those Russians are damn good!
