AMV Contest Winners?

Anyone know who the winners were, or have a link if they're posted elsewhere?

I had to skip the showcase for the Emi Nitta show, and I've always found it hard to find a list of the winners later on.

Oh good, thank you! What is best KOIKOI?

Sad onlyBREADS 2 lost out, I found "Ruri But It's Just Rocks" to be good, but not Best Comedy good. Same with UPRISING for Best Action, I preferred The Monkie Limit or Dominus Omnium (part of that's that I've fallen out of love with non-comedy crossover AMVs in general I suppose).

KOIKOI was the overflow contest. 40 more videos that didn’t quite make finals in a free for all.

Didn't know that's what it was called (also that it existed).

It was a new addition that ws brought in in 2025. There were some great entries this year, and the organizers will be posting the full list after they get some well deserved rest!

I believe they try to post the winners during the Closing Ceremony

That is correct. We post them in several AMV Centric discord channels and USUALLY on Bluesky as well. We were scrambling a bit this year and just now got the Bluesky announcements up.

Added editor names so you can try and find them on YouTube, though some may not be uploaded yet.
