EDIT: I started adding links to the editors' amv.org pages and, uh, LJ yelled at me about the post being too long? So this is now split into
2006-2008,
2009-2012, and 2013-2016, because. Reasons.
Lo and behold! A sort-of comprehensive list of the 2013-2016 Anime Boston AMV Contest Finalists and Winners!*
* = DISCLAIMER OF DISCLAIMING: In no particular order in some cases, because I don't remember the original order and/or I lost my original notes and had to look up the information again. And if there's more than two or three sources of video or audio, I get lazy and put (various)! Except if the sources are all in the same canon--then I just list the most obvious. For instance, I'm not going to list every single Kingdom Hearts game used in a video. (Actually, anything in parentheses below the title that's not in quotation marks is probably a note that I'm not totally sure about something.)
...Okay, so maybe 'comprehensive' was a poor choice of words. There's a pretty good chance I fucked up somewhere, like on the AMV maker / AMV studio thing, so uh. Don't quote me on this?
