Otakon and AnimeUSA 2013 GigaThread!

[Mr. Fuzzyflippers]

Not to be a bother, but does anyone have a list of the overflow AMVs that were shown?

I'd really just like to know if mine was (I was there, just didn't get a chance to actually make it to overflow because stuff), but I'm sure there are others also wondering...

There will probably be a list posted sometime soon.

Congrats to everyone! I had a really fun time this year at Otakon.
Hoping to see more faces next year!

Adios mis amigos huehuehue ~

I really enjoyed the con and the contest! Hosting Iron Editor was a lot of fun and it was a pleasure to meet a number of you. I'm looking forward to next year already. I really like the new space.

This year's pre-contest "Notice" screen shown before the contest started:

NOTICE: The Otakon 2013 AMV Contest features plot spoilers, borderline gratuitous violence, girls in skimpy outfits, giant skinless dudes, that "Radioactive" song that's always on the radio, showtunes, sexual innuendo, Sponge Bob, more sexual innuendo, loud noises, and also they've got a tank.

It's that awesome. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I wasn't even paying attention to this at first and then Taylor tapped me on the shoulder to read it. I was a little stunned, but then I cracked up.

Two thumbs up to the Trailer category this year. Way to knock it out of the park guys!

The real winners this year were honestly just... the entire Trailer category. So... very... good.

Thanks. It was probably the best I've seen for the category as a whole since its implementation. Everybody really brought it and the audience seemed to really enjoy them too. Speaking of which, I guess we can start rolling out the links:

I wish that I had remembered to get my Iron Editor vid from the computer I was using. I was so excited afterwards that I completely forgot. I want to upload it so badly.

the winners of the contest were actually announced on AnimeNewsNetwork. That's so awesome! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convent ... /otakon/12

OH WOW!! Missed this! I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Inhumanity contributed towards "gratuitous violence" !

Wow, I'm like dumbstruck. I did not expect to win at all, when I saw it my eyes had the size of dinner plates, haha. Thank you all so much, and congrats to everyone else as well. Still wished more than anything I could have been there to see the show!
