I'm laughing at the fact that these finalists are going to be known before the VCA ones. :lol:

Anime Boston has the fastest turnaround from submission deadline to results. It's kinda insane.

Romance and Other sent. Last categories will go out in five more minutes (given the number of similar-looking emails that have been sent this past week, I'm trying to avoid having this account flagged for spamming by blasting all 30 at once).

1 for 2. Not bad I guess. While the one that got in (other) probably has a better chance at winning, I was kind of hoping for the video I made for the con itself would get in, but oh wells atleast one made it.

The original plan was to have the prescreening next weekend, but multiple scheduling conflicts popped up, so it got moved up to Saturday.

So let me get this straight, the Fun/Upbeat and Comedy categories changed to Upbeat and Fun/Comedy? That move actually makes sense.
