k, let me clarify something on my last post. I was told by a friend that my last post was a bit crude. Now..It wasn't meant to sound rude to the editor that won. I'm happy for him as well! That's a big win!! All congrats to RAWdangers (:
Because of that, I was told that I was taken bad about because I said what I said. Sorry for being honest and straight forward with my opinion on which video I thought best fit "drama" for otakon. I thought Magic Eye was best for it. Thats pretty much all I meant to say...lol So hopefully those people who seen that, will get things clear now. Sorry! Congrats to everyone again! <3

It looks like a lot of deserving videos won, but how was the contest as a whole?

It was pretty damn good. There were a lot of really good videos among all the categories. Action and Drama were especially stacked.

Don't worry, i didn't take it offensively. It's honestly the reaction i expect. It's the reaction I had myself as I said earlier.

I'd like to upload my video to the site today, but I'm a little busy with some pressing matters at hand (read: drunk). I'll have up it by time I see straight things.

The contest was great, and gratz to all the winners! :bzz: Iron Editor was awesome too; first year I went to IE (didn't really know what it was before :sweat:). My only complaint was that a lot of videos seemed to be in wrong categories, and a couple sources seemed overused (MLP, Madoka). Still a great time overall!

I found the the amount of MLP to be annoying considering it's NOT ANIME! Nothing against MLP itself, but it's an anime con...I mean, I love Disney's Aladdin, but it doesn't really belong in an AMV.

Otakon was amazing, and the contest was extremely competitive - 9 solid action videos and 6 solid drama videos. Amazing to see the results turn out that way with some favorites falling to equally effective and competitive contenders. The whole contest was just great to watch.

Oh, and if I hadn't already mentioned it, I loved the SenBASA video that led off Action. The last time I was so excited and pumped up about an AMV and its showcase anime was 2005 with Nostromo's "Always Hardcore" video. This video has knocked "Hands Up" as my favorite video so far this year. Congratulations on a stellar performance.
