Change in the Anime Cental 2005 Primary showing.

Hello everyone, with only a couple of days between now and anime central, things are kicking into overdrive. Also it is common for scheduling conflicts and changes to pop up last mintue. Due to one such incident, we have to move the AMV contest from main programming back to the AMV room. We sincerely apologise for any inconvienience that this may cause.

Also, please note that we will be having multiple showings throughout the course of the convention, so if you are unable to get a seat to the first showing, please return to a later showing.

I'll take "Things that suck" for ¥1000, Julius.

This is definitely quite a disappointment- both for the fact that the contest really should have at least one showing in Main Events and my concern over what will be going on in Main Events at the same time now (i.e., competing against it).

Oh boy... crowd control's going to be interesting this year. ^^

Yeah I know, after seeing how the first showing is the one that really needs the most attention (eg it's the one that was overcrowded) I was really hoping to get main programming at that time. But things seldom work out the way we want them to. The truth is, we got our own room so that we wouldn't have to use the main programming. I can reserve it, but if a need arises that would require us to move, then we move. Of course if the crowd grows each year, eventually we'll need to move to a bigger room, (actually the room we have this year is not the same as the one we had last year, it's actually bigger and more sound-proofy)

Well, at least we've got a bigger room this year. I remember the one last year being overcrowded almost constantly, especially during the contest showings. It's definitely nice that we have a room entirely for the use of AMV-related stuff, but I think that definitely shouldn't be a substitute for using Main Events for things that merit it (like the primary showing of the contest).

I'll talk to you offline later, but certainly a disappointment. I was really looking forward to the AMV contest returning to Main Events and it *not* being at 9 a.m.

.

Oh well, life goes on and in reality, the contest is 10x better than a few years ago so overall I'm still very pleased with the progress you guys have made.

Yep... that's one good thing about running the contest and being Director of programming

....

But seriously, the top three events these days at any con is Cosplay contest, AMV contest and Concerts... And if you count up the total hours required for those, the main events room should have the time for it... that is the way I prioritze things at Animethon of which I an programming Director and thus the AMV gets a good time slot as does Cosplay... I just wish more conventions realzed that and I fully understand it being out of your hands

Are you really so eager to see Man-Faye or Sailor Bubba being used in AMVs?
