I agree with only 2 of the VCA's this year. Probably lowest number since I've been here. >__________>
But that's just me.

But hey, at least we got the JCA's! I mean, it's not like that was derailed or anything.

Looking over the winners again, I'm surprised not to see Fluffy Kittens anywhere. Considering how it got voted up in a good chunk of the categories and caused a lot of discussion. I figured it would be a shoo in.
And Code, how do you get the coolest avys?

Oh really?? How many contests don't have a credit title card in front of it or allow credits? A Lot do, like Otakon, Anime Expo, Sakura-Con, etc, etc. The audience votes for all of those and how are they blind? If you’re thinking of AWA's PRO, that might be, but even there a lot of creators know each other's videos so it's not all that blind. Even Judges who judge usually know who created several of the videos in a contest so it never fully blind.Nya-chan Production wrote: Because that's usually blind voting not biased by anything like name, nationality or stuff like that.
Thanks everyone for the votes!

I thing the results are fine... there are always other videos that deserve recognition, I do agree, however I double there will be a time that everyone will agree with everything.. I remember even people back lashing against the JCAs too...
Congrats to all the winners!!!

So maybe we should start uploading to Akross, AMVNews, etc. It does help with these competitions.
I don't think people are pissed because Russians won, I think they're pissed because many of the awards were undeserved. But we feel this way EVERY year. It's not the Russians, it's the videos they made, and that we all had an idea of what videos deserved each award. I mean, it's like this way every year, people are just pulling the nationality card because it's easier. >__>AikiNick102 wrote:One way or another, is there actually a reason to be mad at Russians?
