Yay, list. A lot of surprises there.

I made the Street Fighter video with Mike. Is there any way to put both our names on that one, and add "VegettoEX" to his name?

Hentai. Didn't finish.

That sounds like a personal problem.

Most videos were not surprises, there were a couple mild ones. Biggest one for me was TJ's Some stupid action video. For some reason, I thought that was SSG's.

My notes from viewing the Pro discs, edited for readability.
Most of these are "first impressions" (quick comments) without a lot of thought put into them.

63 - Last Words - Saikano / Tankian
Depressing.

LOL... my goal is accomplished.

Its not my best video and didn't get nominated for jack but I don't really care. I somehow misread the deadline and got last years dates. I checked the day of to double check the date and just barely got it submitted in time. I didn't tweak it nearly as much as I usually do as I thought I had a few more days to play with the vid.

Ah well as long as it depressed someone I'm ok with it.

71 - Cockpit Love - Last Exile / Infant Sorrow
Romance. Odd timing choices.

Sorry TJ appearently subtlety doesn't cut it.

One of my videos was marked ALIS

I can only assume that means Alberta Learning Informational Services
So it must have been appropriate as an educational tool.

Awesome.

I think all children should know that cats do not like burrs.

Keeping in mind I didn't enter or watch any entries, seeing Fred's mini-reviews makes me think that was a good idea >_>. I see at most 3 or 4 vids he liked and have a feeling I'd be in the same boat : /.

HOWEVER, good luck to everyone.

yeah I was surprised as well. There were a few animes that you usually see that weren't. As I was watching I kept waiting for a Naruto one to pop up.

Best Artistic Endeavour This video best tries to stretch the conceptual limits of an Anime Music Video. Usually termed an "artsy" music video, these videos strive to create a unified artistic vision, rather than only tell a story (drama), explore a character (character portrait), or evoke an emotional response (comedy, horror, sentimental), though they may do that as well. Difficult to define, this category is largely left up to individual interpretation.

*DING DING DING DING* I got it right!

Sorry about the not-being-nominated thing, though -- but still, I loved the video!
