Anime Expo 2010 Anime Music Video Contest Rules Up

[Niotex]

I would like to inform everyone that as I came back from the con with my girlfriend. I found a passed out and slightly shaking Castor on one of the beds. Apparently [while I was out] he tried to drown his nerd-rage with what I can only assume to be beer, jagger and rum. He seems to have stopped shaking as I type this though.

Actual contest related stuff to follow later. I promised someone I'd be a good boy so I will.

I was pretty pleased by the contest (also excluding bad drama in action). My only reaction....what does it say that "common accident" was creator's favorite?

Comedy was by far the best but to just get to the point. I'm kind of done with the contest. All suggestions seem to fall on deaf ears and are shrugged off.
The contest is weak and people aren't happy about that. I'm not talking about the editors that are posting on this thread either. I'm talking about the fans. People that you meet in the halls or even the one we met at the airport.

"The contest has been getting worse for the past 3 years. This year was slightly better but not much of an exception." That was from a random person I met in the airport while waiting for our wonderfully delayed plane.

In short, I'm focusing my efforts on fixing up the panels and working with KagatoAMV on both the AMV 101 panel and the Iron Chef since this contest doesn't seem to care about progression or putting on an excellent competition for the editors.

Good luck to all those involved and may god have mercy on your souls.

"what" or "why"? What I posted are just unofficial results that I posted from someone who was twittering while they were there, if it's inaccurate just wait for the official results.

Perhaps I should start using my username at AX too ^^;

@ Ileia - Common Accident is indeed the winner of creator's favorite. I think Stryyder was referring to the content of the vid

everyone forgot to mention that the second place for creator's favorite (while ineligible) was Mr. Stylus' hitler intro


Overall i think the contest was simply amazing this year. i think every single category was strong, and comedy definitely parred up. Michael did a fantastic job organizing everything and deserves MEGA recognition. both for the original showing and the rescreening.

There was a Hitler intro at ACen, too. So many Hitler intros!

Congrats to everyone that won, I kinda figured some of ya'll would take home the cyrstal thingy.

As for myself, the best part was not winning but actually getting to meet you fine people. I haven't been doing this for very long but I do admire a lot of your guys work and it was a pleasure to meet Rider, Stryyder, Hagaren, Kazemon, Nighthawk, Castor, Brad, Nic,Sephiroth, Moongoddess, Ryvannis and a bunch of other people. Meant more to me than anything else really.

As for the contest, Im not very privy to how a well run contest is conducted, but I would be willing to help in anyway I can. Be it providing content or Judging or just help out in general. I dont live very far from the Convention Center so AX is kinda dear to me heart and I wanna do whatever I can to help.
