Caption Battle: Love Gives Ya Shivers...

"It's that time again..."
"To tune in to Joss Whedon's Dollhouse every Friday night on FOX?"
"To check my inbox over at eHarmony?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, for being (for our purposes) in character enough that we'd believe it: ThePockyGirl!

Momoko: Three story buildings are no match for the POWER OF LOVE!!

In second place, because old-school Shatner references are always funny: cougarsama!

Koushi: There's something on the wing!

And in the coveted first place... funny for reasons we all probably don't want to admit to... red.alchemist!

The Representative of the Lollipop Guild is pleased.

There were some good ones this week. Definitely down to the wire; good work, you guys.

So moving on to this week... I guess today is Valentine's Day, so I might as well keep the theme going - and no, it's not Rozen Maiden. This week's screencap comes from ye olde archives and features good ol' Inuyasha, or at least one of the movies. Anyway, the guy on the left is Kirby Morrow; the girl on the right is Kelly Sheridan. Go for it!

You know the drill: type up the funniest, wittiest, most original caption you can think of for the screencap above in the comments below. Also, if any of you would like some tips on writing a great caption, you can find those here.

And like always, theOtaku is open to all submissions and suggestions for weekly feature content. You have a screencap you want used, you can PM me and we can do somethin' about it. And remember: inertia is a property of matter.

Happy Valentine's Day, now.

Caption Battle: Valentine Fail

"It's that time again..."
"To find out who's more annoying than the mother in Everybody Loves Raymond?"
"To remember that Adam Baldwin isn't a Baldwin Baldwin?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because cosplay with limited options sucks: edisshort!

Mailboxes can only cosplay as messed up versions of Domo-kun......

In second place, because imagining that thing singing/dancing like Elvis is incredibly, frighteningly funny: schultzie!

"Return to sender"
"Address unknown"
"No such number"
"Nobody home"

And in the coveted first place with all of three words... Allamorph!

Godzilla goes postal.

See how easy that is? But y'know, this week truly was an excellent week. Thanks for participating in Rozen Maiden month! And if anyone ever wants another, I'll be sure to get Des' on top of it.

Ahem.

On to this week and this glorious ramp-up to Valentine's Day. As such, this week's shot is fitting. Courtesy of Timber, this week's screencap features the series Sumomomo Momomo. Koushi is on the left, Momoko is on the right. Have at thee:

Caption Battle: I'll Write You In Hell...

"It's that time again?"
"To send SomeGuy more screencaps?"
"To threaten to strike if there's another Rozen Maiden month?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place just because: jRockstar11385!

What do you do when you lose you prized weapons? Improvise!

In second place, incidentally coming after my own watching of way too much Food Network: Koneko Krysta!

Suiseiseki didn't take too kindly to the "advice" that Gordon Ramsay had to offer.

And in the coveted first place, after evidently choosing her next words wisely... cougarsama!

Tonight we dine in hell! Tomorrow, we're going to Chili's!

Cheers, you three. You managed to not repeat everyone else. Anyway, on to this week...

Well, it was the 31st while I was working on it, so technically it was still January (and as such, still Rozen Maiden Month). But since we're cutting it so close... tell ya what, it will still be from Rozen Maiden (and still from Desbreko, The Moester of the Universe), but I'll keep the loli-dolls out of it. Instead, how about a really messed up looking mailbox? Don't ask me the context, I really don't know and frankly that's besides the point. Have fun:

Caption Battle: The Borsch Battle Is OVAH!

"It's that time again..."
"To argue who voiced the best Gohan?"
"To grow an impeccable beard?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because Asian people talk funny: Zeru!

Souseiseki: I feer so ronry.

In second place, surely amusing those Gurren Lagann crazies out there: Miss Anonymous!

Kanaria & Hinaichigo: Our moe will pierce the heavens!
Souseiseki: *facepalm*

And in the coveted first place, probably unintentionally but because captions need not always be stories or quotes... Rageon!

...I can't write a caption for this, it just melted my eyes.

What day is it today... the 24th? Congratulations, everyone, you've all almost survived Rozen Maiden Month...

So once again, coming from the archives of The Moecholy of Desbreko Suzumiya comes a Rozen Maiden screencap. Once again, it's Suiseiseki. But this time, she brought props:

Caption Battle: Tastes Like Diabetes...

I've got dinner back in Smallville waitin' for me; let's get this done fast...

Last week's winners:

In third place, being wordy but not boring (which takes talent): TwistedCyberChick!

Suiseiseki: Come on, Sou! Pose with me! These are the cutest outfits ever! I'm so updating my blog after this. Sou, hurry up! It's gonna flash!
Souseiseki [muttered reading]: Assassinations are best accomplished during a moment of distraction. Having a concealed weapon, perhaps hidden within an over-sized sleeve, is recommended. If inside a building, it is also best to be on tile or wood flooring. [glancing down; to Suiseiseki] Sister, move onto the tile please.

Moral: Not all twins like ruffles.

In second place, for being just plain wrong yet oh so amusing (and not quite crossing the line, which also takes talent): TimeChaser!

"Double the Loli, double the fun!"

And in the coveted first place... because traps are funny... Koneko Krysta!

It's cute until you find out it's crossplay.

Fun times... so, whose brains are melting so far? No? Good, 'cause we've still half a month to go!

Once again, Rozen Maiden. Once again, courtesy of Desbro of the Nine Moe. We have Souseiseki in the pink, Kanaria in the black, and Hinaichigo in the white. Lord have mercy on you all...
