NY Anime Fest 2009 List of Finalists

[NYAFamv]

Here's the final list of AMVs that will go on to participate in the screening and public vote.

Just like last year, we had to reshuffle the categories a bit. We didn't get enough comedy entries, so that category was turned into "upbeat". There will be 6 prizes: best of each category (public vote), best overall (public vote) and judge's choice (staff vote).
