Wow, this is awesome. My video, Kingdom Bleach, won Best in Show for the second time at another amv contest. I hope that result will become official.

Wow, I won comedy?

Rockin!
This is how I see things:
A bad AMV makes it look easy
A good AMV makes it look fun
A great AMV makes it look hard
However, the best AMVs make it look impossible

I'm sorry.

Assuming the official word is no different from the unofficial word, I'd love to say "thanks" and "congrats to all the winners" and "what a great surprise!" and all. But I'm afraid I'm too overcome by "WTFNINEMINUTES!!!" to properly express my gratitude.

Seriously...awesome...but very very unexpected. Thank you so much. And thanks to Vic for the opportunity to show it outside of AWA. I promise I won't make this "long AMV" thing a habit. :P

No you won't - not if you keep doing comedy. I'm working on a scary one now. Slowly. VERY slowly. :cry:

And I do have an adult "HMV" all done, waiting to debut it.

What was most shocking to me was how an AMV using the song "Jizz in My Pants" made it into the contest which could potentially be viewed by younger than PG-13 viewers. In spite of my call for its disqualification (according to our rules), a video containing occasional watermarks was allowed into the finals for the NekoCon AMV contest. Is there some kind of loosening of the rules or situational "looking the other way" trending now? Because, otherwise, why do certain rules exist if they're not followed?
