Hey everybody just a heads up. Otakon is July 20-22 for 2007. So the convention is 2 weeks earlier than this year.

I can't seem to find Seven May Cry would it be possible for the author to put it up on a-m-v.org? I've seen several Advent Children AMVs to that song and I thought he was the best.

Hi there,
"Seven May Cry" has been uploaded to the site! I apologize for the delay...I spent several hours last night in video compression hell, as I would either 1. have the video come out beautifully, but the sound would not be in sync, or 2. have the sound work perfectly, and the video look like crap or 3. have everything work great, and end up with a 500 MB video.

Anyway, I finally got it to work! Here's the link:

Enjoy!

Man, I've been to maybe two or three other anime convention AMV contest boards, and everyone's looking for Stop Watching Anime and Go Outside. It's one of the few popular ones left that isn't available anywhere.

Personally, I thought it was the funniest vid at Otakon 06. Please upload it.

I have it in all it's MPEG2 contest grade quality goodness!

*pokes Tim* come on man... let everyone have it, you know before they start asking ME for it.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I thought Stop Watching Anime was already up for dl after he'd won at a different con...?

I'm two weeks late, but here are some thoughts on some of the entries:

DireStrike wrote: It's My Life - Shi Yuan Kuang
Anime: Great Teacher Onizuka Song: Bon Jovi - It's my Life

What the hell is an UPBEAT video doing in the SERIOUS/DRAMATIC category?

Fallen - VicBond007
Anime: Chrono Crusade Song: Evanescense - Tourniquet

Dammit, Vic, you ruined Chrono for me!

(Actually, not yet, because I forced myself not to watch it -- and have made it my assignment to finally finish watching my Chrono DVDs so that I can.)

My Fist is the Worst Kind of Weapon - Michael "VegettoEX" LaBrie and Meri Cantoni
Anime: Fighting Spirit Song: Say Anything - Belt

Should have won. No disrespect to Castor Troy at all, but I really REALLY enjoyed this video over all the others in the category.

Anime: Lifestyles of the Animated and Fabulous - Michael Zubrzycki
Anime: Various Song: Various - Various

No disrespect to Michael, but aren't fake commercials disallowed in the AMV contest? Re-read Rule #8:

08. NO NON-AMVs IN THE AMV CONTEST

For the purposes of the Anime Music Video Contest and Screenings, AMVs are considered to be distinct from other short-duration fan productions such as movie trailers, animations, fake commercials, eye catches, and so forth.

Yet another oversight by the AMV contest people.

Hopefully by next year some things will get straightened out.
