I would join the club if you made one.

Oh dear, such a dilemma on the matter of creating a club. A club can be created in a few second, but there already are relatively active friends-focused clubs around that would probably benefit you more than a creation of a new one whose sole purpose would be this event. Do note that the community in those is (most of the time) not as unorganized as the community in the open forums. Point a request with an added explanation, and you'll have buddies instantly on your side.

Technically, they're open for another 9 hours. However, I'm wondering if we should extend the deadline... As of right now, we have a whopping single (1) submission.

Was it bad timing or was there no real interest in the event, I wonder? Shall I extend it another week?

Hurray :) It would have been sad if you hadn't participated after you suggested it.

We didn't put MALentine's or the Easter Scavenger Hunt in CD and that wasn't a problem.

*Sunday, Sept 7th, 23:59 PST

You must send in your video before this date!

Voting Thread Posted
Monday, Sept 8th
or maybe 9th
Once the thread is posted, you can start voting!

Deadline extended to hopefully pull in a few more submissions!

I'll post the voting thread preemptively in CD in hopes to garner a bit more attention...

A combination of bad timing and too complex an event explains my not participating. It's school starting season and a lot of people, myself included, are busier than usual. It also doesn't help that I would have to spend time developing new skills (I'm not sure if other people are as computer illiterate as I am) and make a youtube account just to participate, haha.

None of which is to say that this event isn't a cool idea! I'm sure that all of the entries will be fun and entertaining.

Just to comment on two things:
- You wouldn't have to make a YouTube account; we'd be uploading the videos on one YouTube account. You'd just need to upload it to a site like Dropbox, 4shared, or whatever - or find some other means to get the file to me.
- We set up the Hanabi-kun acct to help with the video editing because we figured it'd be a steep learning curve for some, so we wanted to help out. In the end, no one used it... But with the recorded sound clips and the images ready, I think the volunteers could practically throw the vid together for anyone who would be struggling. That's also part of why I suggested groups over individual submissions too, since it takes quite a bit of work.

It's a shame about the timing though. I guess I've been out of uni for too long, I didn't really consider the timing would be so bad. That and my uni in Canada never started classes until the Wednesday after Labour Day. Oh well, next time...

Thanks for your feedback :)

Oops, haha. You're right of course. I got confused somehow.

Classes don't start until next week for me, but I've been doing some stuff to prepare because I am a go-getter.

extended deadline, huh

i might make something a bit better now, i only had about 2-3 hours to do my previous submission by myself, including finding a scene, recording the voice-over, downloading editing software, learning how to use it, doing the editng, etc

it was a pretty fun project, shame not more people are willing to do it

The general concept is still too complex for most MAL users, and I'm pretty sure such global events were meant to cover as much audience as possible. Something like a pure presentation show like the one SSJMaster put up tends to entertain more members. I can see that a spark tries to ignite and put up something interesting, but it just doesn't connect with the masses. It's only my opinion, but events such as this are mainly a waste of time. They are just that - some random events - there is not much interest to squeeze out.

I had a lot of fun working with friends on this one. Even if it didn't garner tons of entries, it's a great chance to make something creative with others, and we all learned a bit about the recording and editting process.

Also any hint as to when the "preemptive" voting thread will open? I'm curious to see how the other entries turned out :)

MALentine was a great event as well, a lot of humorous and cute entries that was very enjoyable.

I've said the majority of the community, not specific individuals. If you liked it, great. But the goal of the group/person that organizes an event is to attract and entertain as many as possible. Quantity isn't the strong point of these events, which is what I wanted to come across.

The MAL Easter Egg thing was the one which received the most response from the users. Me, alone, received messages over 30 users asking for help regarding the event and considering the amount of replies in the main thread, i would say it was a very successful community event.

I've received messages from over 10 users regarding what SSJMaster has done, and I did not even sign up for it nor am I a member of the staff. Most out of those found it entertaining.

I have opened the thread, but there will be nothing in it until the deadline has passed. I'm glad to hear you and your friends had a fun time.

We do want stills, yep. This is because anime video would be much more elaborate than moving manga panels, so we needed to even them out a bit. Part of the fun of the event was supposed to be you recording the lines, so you're kind of changing the final product. If you are set on your idea, we could include it as an honorable mention rather than a voting entry.


I'm happy to see a few more people will try to make it for the deadline. Even if you don't, it's nice to see your interest. If you need any help, don't hesitate to send Hanabi-kun a message.

It also makes me happy that many users have enjoyed the other community events we've had so far. Thank you for your kind words :) If you have any ideas for a new event, please feel free to let me know.

What a coincidence, i am not even part of the staff too nor i am part of it but still received that amount of pm.

And are you suggesting an event of SSJMaster(or any hackers) hacking the site and spamming the main forums with gore and shit pics other than changing the titles of their anime? Considering the popularity among users as claimed by you, i think this will be a real "quality" event compared to Kineta's idea of a community event which is usually filled with the colours of the rainbow; As you said, these kind of events are usually a waste of time as community interests do not lie within the mods' idea of fun. I mean, they even made dozens of threads inquiring about SSJMaster in various boards in the main forums. If passed, this will be truly an event that will revive abandonware known as MAL.

I had to take a surprise trip to Arizona this weekend. With eight hours or so spent driving that I had expected to use on doing voices and editing, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to submit on time.
I got it in at 11:57 PM though! I hope it doesn't come off as too rushed!
I reeeeaaally want to see everyone's entries so I can see if we were all on the same wavelengths!
This was really fun; I hope another event like this comes around again! Hopefully when/if it does, I can gather friends to do some editing and voicing with me instead of doing everything alone-- though it was fun that way too.
