...will we ever get to hear submission tallies for the different categories like last year? I kinda enjoyed guessing my odds of getting shown in a particular category

Oh, yes!

I will be posting stats of entries per category and a survey of the anime shows used.

I also enjoy seeing all the countries where the entries come from.

Watch for a new thread beginning Friday, 23-Jul-10.

PS: Let's get some Jidaigeki entries! - I have only ONE so far -  it's any style, any music, only the show itself has to be SET in a time before 1926AD.

...Is this still on its way? Don't mean to be annoying about it, you just posted the other two and I am excited to see that one specifically

a) if you look at the 'Live Blogging' thread, you'll see that no one wrote back a single word over the whole weekend, so I got the impression that no one was interested in further details or stats;
b) At this time I am traveling in SC and GA for a few more days; the judges' results are all back at home,

I'll probably be able to get stuff up over next weekend, including a total durarion of the contest as compiled.
My next project(s) are creating the category intros. I've got 4 of them done.

Oh dear! I certainly didn't want to give that impression! I literally kept a tab open all day and refreshed it every time I looked at my computer xD. I was actually very avidly following the whole thing, I just didn't want to interrupt with something stupid like "Wow, I'm so excited!"

And yay! I just wanted to make sure you didn't forget, take your time

Same with me. I was, and still am, on pins and needles about the contest XD I was constantly checking the live update, and I check the whole board every day for any new developments. Like Murder said, there wasn't really much to post other than "Awesome!" or "That's cool, can't wait!" and I didn't want to interrupt.

Can't wait to hear about everything (I won't be at the actual con, so this is my only means of info) but don't rush, by any means!

Unfortunately it's really hard to reply to the live blogging thread sometimes because all the information we get is on the vague side so we have to guess whats going on. I think the only reason I posted something last year for the live blogging was because you said there was 4 videos using the same trailer audio and I was pretty sure I was one of those 4 videos (and i totally was).

Other than a "Sweet," or just a general, "Good luck to everyone!" it's hard to reply to anything specific, especially sense the lot of us know that we won't even knop if we got into the contest until MAYBE the AMV dinner (Btw are we still doing that this year?)

Also.... Iron Chef thread?

until MAYBE the AMV dinner (Btw are we still doing that this year?)

Omg, that was the best thing ever, please say we are doing it again
