AnimeNEXT 2023 AMV Contest (It's Over!)

[VegettoEX]

Popping in for my once-a-year-or-two post on the ol' org forum in these trying, modern times-

I was so happy to be able to join Peter for a 21-year retrospective panel about AnimeNEXT's AMV contest. My wife and I ran it from 2003 to 2008 (and attended/entered during its inaugural year there in 2002), so we have a lot of fond memories to share about those earliest days. I was fortunate enough to be able to record the panel (including direct mixer audio!), so I figured this might be an appropriate place to share that recording:

Thanks to Peter and his crew for continuing to shine with this AMV contest all these years later, despite all of the challenges that the convention itself has thrown your way.
