The posters are amazing, many kudos on that. They just make me want to watch the videos themselves. And I'll update this post once I do.

Edit: I just watched Reddish, it's quite a decent action video, very enjoyable.

As this post is getting old and probably won't be seen, I might leave my opinion on the others in quick comments..

Tana-sama and ThePooh deserve so far rookie of the year VCA : o.

Help is a private joke, so it's not funny for me at all.
Reddish is just a simple linear action vid. Well done, ok... but nothing earth-shattering...

You're also forgetting qwaqa. Lots of great candidates this year.

Anyway, back to the videos themselves.

Metal Panda
Kudos for using an unconventional music/anime combination. The beggining was kind of surprising and fun to watch because of it, but the novelty grew old pretty quickly. Plus, the song has been used many times and I'm tired of it. Some lipflap was also noticeable.

Darker than Duck
This made me smile. Fun stuff

Reddish
I really enjoyed this amv. Great synchro (I especially loved the part when the box opens and the small figurine pops out on a spring). Some of the scenes selected bother me though. For example, at the beginning of the video, Canaan recocks a pistol twice in a row - and she has only one. This just looks weird. You also used the view from Canaan's eyes twice (I mean the red "tunnels" when she's searching for Maria), which is not bad when watching for the first time, but gets tiresome after seeing the amv more than once. Still, one of my favourite action amvs of this year.

Help!
I'm a bit conflicted on this one. While I enjoyed the synchro and the general idea of a life of a begiiner AMV creator, the lipsync felt off at times and the majority of the text was in russian. While do understand some of the written stuff (which is probably more than most of the .org can say), it just annoys the hell out of me that I can't fully understand what's going on.

Big Contest 2008, Qwaqa was in with Tomorrow never ends (great vid again)
Qwaqa isn't a rookie, he's the editor of the year hehe
