With Katsucon being one of my three home cons (along with Otakon and Anime USA), I do plan to be there next week.

Saturday Morning AMV Contest playlist
My personal comments on the contest in general: I definitely see this as an improvement over last year, with plenty of fresh videos in the contest and a decent amount of variety between the main and Saturday Morning contest.
If there's a couple of things I'd ask in terms of improvement:
1. Personally, I'd like to see some sort of "freshness rule" so that videos that made the finals at both Otakon and Anime USA are ineligible for Katsucon.
2. This could partially be due to me somewhat upset that my video didn't make the finals due to the tough competition I had up against, but I'd like to see the Parody category added to the main contest.

Re: Katsucon 2018 AMV Submissions are now open!
I second this... I am sure guilty of trolling my successful AMVs but I am completely in favor of more freshness rules. I guess the issue here at Katsucon is it is a soft freshness rule / honor system. I didn’t send various videos because of this in the rules so I was disappointed to see a video in the finals that has won well more than 3.TnAdct1 wrote:Saturday Morning AMV Contest playlist

Also why is my Siren video in the main contest and Saturday morning? I honestly wish it was only in 1 contest and a video from another editor was in its place... or was this because there weren’t enough entries?

Most likely it's a lack of entries in the comedy category.MaboroshiStudio wrote:Also why is my Siren video in the main contest and Saturday morning? I honestly wish it was only in 1 contest and a video from another editor was in its place... or was this because there weren’t enough entries?
While there was indeed a growth in entries in the Saturday Morning contest (with TV Spots having enough entries that some people may end up missing the finals, if my previous post is any indication), there's still a few categories (Action, in particular) that lacked entries. As such, some of the entries in the main contest that were considered to be "PG" rated were added to the Saturday Morning Contest to fill the missing spots.
