June Member Promotions
It's time for member promotions once again. So congratulations to everyone who was promoted. Keep up the good work! Otaku Legend bankotsuluver5...theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VIII - Ep. 5
Daaaang. Alright, Ichigo doesn't know his English Pokemon so well. However, he does seem to know a disgusting amount about Japanese Pokemon. So I guess that balances that out. Actually, no, I think that goes well beyond a balance. Whatever, not important. Podcast. Listen. Now. Also, comment, or Ichigo will kill a kitten. Probably.
Music - Bad Apple!! from the Lovelight album of Touhou Project music

Caption Battle: Eye of the Beholder...
"It's that time again..."
"To remember Dennis Hopper for who he was, not for when he played King Koopa?"
"To play Megaman?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"
But first, last week's winners:
In third place with a very straight forward caption: xfishyx!
Poor Rinslet. She's a dog person.
In second place with a super corny pun that makes me smile: TimeChaser!
Sven: "You'll have to excuse Rinslet, she's feeling a bit CATatonic right now."
And in the coveted first place, focusing on an aspect of the image that very few chose to really notice... The Mask!
Walker, are you okay?
Walker, are you okay?
Are you okay, Walker?
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
Those cute animals.
Ah... the King of Pop lives on... moving on...
This week's screencap comes courtesy of Magical Moe Lyrical Desbreko, and features the series The Vision of Escaflowne. The human in the middle is Hitomi; the rest are unnamed Gecko People. Have fun with 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. So good luck, and remember: if a man in a jumpsuit sitting on a park bench asks you to "do it", you should ignore him lest you spend some time cleaning yourself up.
