AMVs--a dying artform

As I reported, this year was the very last year that the people who normally host the AMV Contest for Oni-Con are going to be doing it. To quote from their announcement: “....Oni-Con XVI (2019) will be our LAST AMV Contest we will present.This desision did not come easy for us, but this decision has been thrown around each year prior at how we will end our long run of presenting AMV Contests. We believe now is the best time. Bear in mind that AnimeFunTV itself is NOT ending, only presenting AMV Contests for conventions is ending.We have met some incredible people and seen some outstanding music videos during our time presenting contests for conventions. We want to make Oni-Con XVI (2019) our best show going out but we can’t do it with out your support, so hurry and submit your videos! We were also granted an extended time for our show at Oni-Con so we will announce some special things soon.We’d like to thank the Oni-Con staff who have been very helpful and supportive to us, all those who helped past and present; to all the attendees who watch the shows and lastly all the people who have submitted to our contests both past and present. We appreciate everyone.” I was glad at least that I got to thank them personally for the FRIDAY 10 year Retrospective Screening they held in one of the panel rooms. This is what I got to enjoy: (quoting again)

“Here is the setlist for Oni-Con XVI (2019) including videos from our intro and farewell exit video.” -- AnimeFunTV Friday setlistOni-Con XII – Shin – Just Funkin’ Dandy Oni-Con XV – VampireDeva1990 – Bittersweet Symphony Oni-Con XIII – UnluckyArtist – Screaming Artist Ikkicon VI – l33tmeatwad – Clubbin’ with Lupin Ikkicon VII – Brad DeMoss – Dark Side San Japan 3.0 – General Vash – Anime Odds and Ends San Japan Edition 2, The Revengeoning Ikkicon IX & Oni-Con XI – Unlucky Artist – Maniacal Ikkicon IX – Amaterasu – Forever Is A Long Long Time Oni-Con XII – drewaconclusion – Spaced Out San Japan 3.0 – LC_Lapen – 15 Minute Phone Call San Japan 4TW – moonbunnychan – I Have A Rather Short Attention Span Oni-Con XIII – leolide – zuzuzu Furry Fiesta 2014 & Oni-Con XI – Nils Houghton – Beer is The Future Ikkicon IX – l33tmeatwad – Immortal Chimera (uncensord) Ikkicon X – drewaconclusion – A Quack Interpretation Ikkicon VI – Shin – I’m a Kitty Cat Oni-Con XII – drewaconclusion – Rainbow Stalin Saves The World San Japan 2.x – Keopichino – Double Trouble Ikkicon VII – Rolfyboy8 – Look at it, It’s Ugly 2.0 Brony Fan Fair II – Racecarghost1 – Death Should Not Have Taken Thee Oni-Con XIII – Phlashbak – Klassik Television Oni-Con X – EllipseIris – Counting Stars Ikkicon X & Oni-Con XII – Soul’s Team – Anime’s Got Talent Oni-Con XI – Ookami – Goodbye My Lover Oni-Con XV – thefanvideoer2 – Finally Free San Japan 3.0 – simofc90 – Faces Oni-Con XV – Kireblue – Chobit Processing Unit Oni-Con XV – tko03isaneditor – EVERYONE (actually) JOINS THE BATTLE San Japan 3.0 – Studio Hybrid – Building Steam San Japan 4TW & Ikkicon V – drewaconclusion – Dead New World Oni-Con XV – Kirbygal – Land of Confusion San Japan 3.0 – LC_Lapen – Brutal Zombie Hybrid Murder Event Ikkicon X – Maboroshi Studio – The Swear Jar San Japan 4TW – ProjectBarcodeError – Welcome to Fabulous Daten City Oni-Con XIV – AntaresHeart07 – Anime MasterChef Oni-Con XIV – PaNTSU oF d00m – Dios Memestravaganza San Japan 3.0 – drewaconclusion – Commander in Fad Oni-Con XV – PieandBeer – The Slippery Slope (uncensored) ============= I did enjoy it, but it also brought the unwelcome reminder that last year they permitted NON-ANIME entries from Avatar: The Last Airbender (which, I mean, I’m okay with I guess) to MAINSTREAM DISNEY (hard frown)....and that annoyed me. The Anime-adjecent stuff I’m fine with (Avatar, Korra, RWBY) but the Disney fare---HARD NO. But it hardly matters anymore as nobody knows what Oni-Con will do to fill this gap, if anything.

Also heard on a recent Anime World Order podcast that Anime Weekend Atlanta used to be *THE* con for AMVs but even this once proud tradition is waning for them, the emphasis shifting to live Japanese pop-rock music, inviting TeddyLoid to Guest DJ, etc. Due to the untimely passing of my Dad I was not able to attend the actual AMV Contest with other fans on Saturday night. I’m glad video of it was archived but the experience just isn’t the same as feeling it live with everyone else....(sigh). Anyway, this is the Saturday set-list I missed and will have to watch later by myself....

=============================================== The AMV contest was always the funnest part of Oni-Con for me and was pretty darn fun for Delta H Con this year, too. I will sorely miss it if some form of it does not continue under new auspices next year in Galveston....
