Amazing. Simply amazing. I was blown away seeing it at the pre-screenings and even more so on the big screen. I couldn't wait to see the look on the faces of the other Eva geeks that were with me at the contest. Jaws dropped as it played.

I didn't think I could still like an Eva-video that much. Excellent job

That's okay, man, I'm just saying that humor and this sort of disturbing/horror thing should probably be kept separate if you don't want to lessen the impact. It's like going to your best friend's funeral in a clown hat, y'know?

Great work, though.

I genuinely like this, and that's saying a lot.

Was very pleasantly surprised to see this at the closing ceremonies. I skipped the actual contest presentations cause I knew I'd hate 80% of what was shown there.

Stinks though to see it on a big screen from afar (being amazed) and then watch it at home with aliased matte edges (being humbled).

Cool stuff.

I liked the basic editting style (what with the jerkiness) and the text effects. I wasn't so much a fan of the TV stuff, and some of the window effects, but overall I thought it was spiffy.

That won drama? Awkward.... It didn't seem like drama to me. Looked like it'd go under horror or something.... Was OK. Didn't really like it. Seemed random.

There is no horror, catagory in the Otakon contest. However, this catagory is called serious/dramatic. If you read the catagory description in the submission rules, it desribes videos that may also be character studies; which is what I believe it to be. Not Romantic, not comedy, def not dance/upbeat, and could have been in action but I chose serious dramatic over it because, well, this video is serious and dramatic.

I also believe that it followed some sort of plot and theme so you'll have to alaberate more on how it's so random to you. I appreciate the feed back though, so keep it coming.
