I would love to have more editors on the panel but ...thing is... most of you are in the contest which automatically disqualifies you as being one of the judges.
Good to know.DigitalPanther wrote: - Yes the Zetsubo Sensei and Persona 4 vids were a mistake. We have learned from it. To the point where if we see a vid that looks too perfect, (as a few did this year) we go find the source and compare. There have been a few that we have had to do that with. You will notice that we have allowed time between processing and the start of judging to be able to do that very thing. Check source in the hope of preventing a repeat of those incidents.

Who are some of the editors that you use as judges? I want to check out their past works. You've already said xstylus but he only had 2 videos back in 2002 and 1999...Sank yew :3 AND yes, I am a bit of a rager ;p It usually only happens when I observe bouts of ignorance. IE: rules that needed to be changed years ago, making exceptions to the rules just because you can, defending instances that should be condoned.s0matic wrote: The points and complaints are incredibly valid imo, and I shared some of those concerns. To be fair though, the circumstances are a bit different, and the manner in which these points were brought up last year weren't necessarily "constructive."

xstylus wrote:Ugh... that thrice damned "trolling" bullshit. Whoever came up with that pussy "let-the-other-kiddies-have-a-chance-to-win" rule can blow it out their ass sideways. If a vid won a contest anywhere, I hope and pray that the vid creator will do us the honor of sending it to AX. My god does that cowardly rule ever rile me up. AX has no such rule and I hope it never will.Kazemon15 wrote:And by the way, it's only trolling when the vid actually *wins* something. Guess what? Only won once. And I wasn't even there to *see* it.

I'm pretty sure the only answer that your going to get is that it was a mistake and nothing else. What do you expect Michael to say really? You should be asking about Death Note Rapsphody if anything. That was a comedy based video in drama, on top of the editing, it won best in show. Did we ever get a proper explanation for that? I don't think so and there's no point in dwelling on it either because it's just pointless to do so now for many stupid reasons.Radical_Yue wrote:Explain the Bakemonogatari video with the subtitles and no action in the Action category?DigitalPanther wrote:- There are editors on the judging panel (not just me and Xstylus)(though I am not really judging in this instance unless it becomes a tie breaker situation).
