Caption Battle: Sworded Affair...

"It's that time again..."
"To tally up another late caption battle?"
"To get SomeGuy to stop reading TV Tropes and do his work?"
"...all y'all suck..."

Ahem... last week's winners:

In third place, appreciating fine-detail of current-gen media: the real yojimbo!

Yet another reason why HD anime is a bad idea.

In second place, because a good fart joke never gets old... the ever-talented Calaya!

Never pose when letting one off, just in case the wind changes and you get stuck like that.

And in the coveted first place because, frankly, it was just that damn good... Manga Pulse's own Tim the Enchanter!

Hey, wanna see my undescended testicle?

Good job, lots of good captions this week, let's not waste any more time...

This week's screencap comes from the ever-resourceful red tigress who brings us a shot from Hayate no Gotoku ("Hayate the Combat Butler"). The human is Hayate; the tiger is Tama. Do it:

Caption Battle: I'll Pitch, You Catch...

"It's that time again..."
"To kill a wave of Nazi Zombies?"
"To make robots pop out of our foreheads?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, going the (now) classic route that no one else took: darkeangel!

I see dead people...

In second place, actually quoting a well-known showbiz saying that I had quoted earlier in the week: yugi567!

Never work with animals or children.......

And in the coveted first place, being straight-up snickeriffic (yes, that's a real word because I said so)... Miss Anonymous!

This is what happens when it rains men. People die!

This was a pretty good week. Lots of good gems, though there was a lot of repetition too... yes, yes, Edward Cullen is beautiful and girls get retarded when his name/book/anything comes up, we get it. Let's all try a little harder, shall we?

Anyway, on to this week...

This week's screencap comes from Angel Zakuro and features Ookiku Furikabutte ("Big Windup"). The one on the left is Mihashi; the one on the right is Abe. Go for it:

Caption Battle: Work Was Murder...

"It's that time again..."
"To remember that if it bleeds, we can kill it?"
"To protect John Connor?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, just being straight-up cheeky: TimeChaser!

Shinji Ikari: spokesman for Hung Beer.

In second place, taking a simple line and marrying it perfectly to the faces: DarkFox 013!

Shinji: Misato! I just wanted to tell you I love you!

And in the coveted first place, somehow being cute yet crass all at once... Shinmaru!

Misato: "Aw, Shinji, I'm happy to see you, too."

I gotta say, this week had some darn funny stuff. Good job, childrens; let's keep it up!

This week's screencap comes from ye olde archives, and features the series Gunslinger Girls. Said girl in the picture is Henrietta, other guy is a nameless mook. Have at thee:

Caption Battle: Episode 3, Special Edition...

"It's that time again..."
"To fight Mecha-Hitler?"
"To prove that they're not really brother and sister?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

Starting with Fullmetal Alchemist, in third place with good ol' office humour: ThePockyGirl!

Looks like Alphonse didn't get the memo for Casual Armor Day...

In second place, poking fun at armour-type naughty bits: Aceburner!

It was then that Al realized why he wore the loincloth when he was that very suit of Armor. He regretted the discovery almost immediately.

And in the first coveted first place, pretty much being exactly what I was thinking this whole week for this picture... Miss Anonymous!

And so, in the midst of such a fierce battle, Al couldn't help but think, "Gee, I hope no one mistakes me for Ed right now, cause that might ruin what could have been a really funny caption..."

Fun times. And now for the second screencap from .hack//Roots; in third place, appreciating the complexities of online gaming: schultzie!

Sakisaka: "I don't think the Guild of the Twilight can afford to buy you those new furry pink gauntlets Tabby. Unfortunately, it's not in the budget at this time."

In second place, speaking truth: stonegeek!

Warning sign: you know that you watch too much anime when this is what you and your friends look like... and its not a con weekend.

And finally, in the second coveted first place position, being deliciously retro and full of awesome... red tigress!

Tabby: Yes, Riddler, soon we will kill Adam West and the Key of Twilight will be ours! It's the prrrrrrrrrrfect plan!

Congratulations, everyone, and thanks for playing in this special 2-screencap caption battle!

...May we never have another.

So now on to this week, we'll go with a screencap from Ryosuke Forever featuring that new Evangelion Rebuild movie that came out a little while ago. Sitting on the left is Misato; standing on the right is stupid Shinji. Go for it:

Caption Battle: Two-For-One

"It's that time again..."
"To change the roll of toilet paper?"
"To figure out how many shows Des' is watching these days?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last time's winners:

In third place, referencing one thing while at the same time using something I could totally hear the characters say: Miss Anonymous!

Ed: "Hello sir or madam! Would you like to hear of the wonders of the Great Pumpkin today?"

In second place, quoting something quite different but also to fine effect: Yamchaa!

Ed: "I put the lotion on my skin, please dont use the hose again!"
Transvestite: "Alright, a deals a deal, here's some M&Ms."

And in the coveted first place, making Ed's hand position all the more funny and using all of two words (more or less)... the real yojimbo!

Edward: Cough please. (Fail!)

Thanks for playing, everyone. And now before I finish off, I wanna give an honourable mention to red tigress for making me laugh while not really being able to give her a placing on grounds that she just kinda repeated my sentiments from the top of the page. Also, for those of you who were too lazy to type out all of the word "transvestite"... I want you all to Google "tranny" and then think about what you've done this October.

Ahem.

Now that that's done, I have a promise to keep. As situations over on my end of the world took up all my time, I didn't get to the caption battle right away. I apologise for that. Really. To make up for that... I'm posting a twofer this week! That's right, two screencaps for your captioning pleasure!

The first comes from Teh Kimmeh (or "KimmehWolfwood" if you're starting to wonder why you can never find "Teh Kimmeh" in the member lists); taking a snapshot from the Fullmetal Alchemist movie, "The Conqueror of Shambala", she has Alphonse Elric and a suit of armour surrounded by other suits of armour. Don't worry, it makes more sense than you might think:

Second screencap comes from Miss Anonymous and the series .hack//Roots. The guy on the left is Sakisaka, and the catgirl is Tabby:
