Heh, I figured my submission wouldn't get in. Obscure anime, unlikeable band. But, no biggie! Judging by the lineup, the show's gonna be great, and I can't wait to see all the vids. Congrats to all those who made the cut!

Hmmm... at least there's always Shoujocon.

I dunno how good it'll be. Even shoddy video creators like Lee Sheng managed to get in this year. Perhaps they were hurting for videos in one of the categories.

I can't wait to see your reactions to DJ Fritz's video

Good luck to all the finalists!

Hey, don't be dissing yourself! You've managed to get in the last three years, so you must be doing something right.

It's all in good fun. I try to only diss people who I know can take it. And I'm pretty sure that I'm pretty much immune to any insults that I levy at myself.

if its anything like last year, the upbeat category may be just what your describing, i mean it wasnt bad last year, jsut the other categories seemed to have much better vids

grr we need an edit button...on the email, there were percentages for which categories got the most submission, and if i rembmer correctly upbeat had the least (i think...)

Exactly my point. My video last year got into the Upbeat category, and you can see how that turned out. ;)

Creators are one thing . . . . Videos are another

Good job to everyone who made it - Looking forward to hearing about it. Expectations are high for this contest so it should be a pretty good show.

I just downloaded and watched your entry. Nice video. If this is the quality standard of the AMV entries for this years contest then I don't fell so bad, that mine didn't make it in. Not that I think mine is of lesser quality.. maybe it is, or maybe not.. I'm not really one to judge my own video.
