State Of theOtaku.com Super Survey
These days the only polls and surveys you hear about are related to politics. Since the vast majority of theOtaku members stay hidden, we've put together a survey in order to gauge people's perceptions of our site.
Our goal is 1,000 responses. Please click here to take our brief, 10-question theOtaku.com survey and let us know what you think.
Survey results are anonymous and all questions are optional.

theOtaku - NYAF Contest Finalists Announced
Thanks to everyone for their stunning mascot contest entries for the New York Anime Festival. As Peter wrote on his WORLD, it was very, very tough to come up with a list of 10 finalists from the entries.
Here's how the winners were chosen: First, NYAF made a list of their top 10 picks, and then, on behalf of theO, Ichigo from our podcast/Anime Pulse served as a celebrity judge and made a list of his 10 picks. NYAF then married the two lists together. These 10 winning entries will go on display at Anime Next where convention attendees will vote for their favorite.
Top 10 finalists:
- Summer In The City - by BloodRedArab
- The City That Never Sleeps - by Epoque
- nyaf mascot - by keichii93
- NYAF Masoct - by Lindus
- Ninja Cabby - by Quarteni
- Chibizilla - by Quarteni
- nyaf mascot - by pamplemousse
- NYAF Mascot Contest - by Ramen
- NY Sun - by demonred21
- Umami - by hiyonochan
Congratulations and good luck to all winners. Great job and thanks to all submitters.

"It's that time again..." "To someday go through the rain?" "To someday feed on a tree frog?" "No... it's time for this week's caption battle!" But first the winners from ...Video Game Wallpaper Contest
Update: Contest deadline extended to July 15th.
Our NYAF mascot contest ends midnight tomorrow, so get your entries in quickly for that. Today, I am pleased to announce a new contest, for video game otaku.
This contest is sponsored by the recently released game Dragonball Z Burst Limit for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and will celebrate the crossover fandom between anime and video games. To enter simply create and submit any video game-themed wallpaper to our site with the tag of "burst limit contest" between now and midnight ET on July 15th. Plagiarized works (ones you did not create) will immediately be disqualified. More than one entry is allowed per person, the winner will be chosen by our editors, US residents only...
The winner will receive a copy DragonBall Z Burst Limit for their system of choice (PS3 or 360) as well as a package of various DBZ swag. Kamehameha!
