theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VII - Ep. 10

"I love the Power Glove; it's so bad." (Lucas, "The Wizard")

I agree. The glove was indeed a dream that was better in our dreams than in reality. Also, Batou, I loved that South Park episode with the Jonas Brothers! And yes, they are called "the teens".

For everyone else: Do The Mario!

Music - Tsukiakari no Michishirube by Stereopony from Darker Than Black II.

Caption Battle: I Had Nothing More Christmasy...

"It's that time again, that time of year,
To see if I can get this posted before the podcast records..."

But first, last time's winners:

In third place, somehow sticking in my head really well on my first pass: mariomario!

Tama: "When Morpheus offers you the blue and the red pill, don't take both or some weird stuff is going to happen..."

In second place, with not nearly as obscure of a reference as people might think: BloodRedArab!

For some reason, the new Donnie Darko anime didn't take off quite as well as they were expecting...

And in the coveted first place with something that sounds really really dirty even though it mostly isn't... her triumphant return to the top... Calaya!

Wanna see my hole?

Well done, guys. Also, yes, I concede that that was indeed not Tama but just some random dude in a bunny costume. The more you know...

Well, being the last Caption Battle before Christmas, I was hoping I'd still have something stashed away for it... but nope, I got nothin'. So instead, we'll go with a shot that's somewhat tangently comparable to Christmas. It's possibly sacrilegious depending on how you feel about it, but it's from Love Hina, so who cares? Comes from ye olde archives, and features Keitaro Urashima in a world of trouble. Have fun now:

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: you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, or else Santa Claus will climb into his Gundam and he will take. You. Out.

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VI - Ep. 9

If not for another fun computer crash, I totally would have commented on that Canadian internet law thingy. I should comment on that right now - meantime, I'll say Kastom, the man who lives in the heart of Canada, has been nailing that one pretty well so I'm glad about that. Also, as a Windows Live friend of mine once put it: "Hetalia is so BL".

And y'know, I totally tried to buy a new computer that works? Man... such a beautiful plan that just didn't work out the way I had planned... good times, good times, right?

Will Ichigo pass his Japanese language test despite the minus 1000 handicap?

...Batou just made a connection in my brain between The Dude and Iron Man

GameBoy or Game Gear? Definitely GameBoy.

Keep the long comments coming.

Never trust French magazines, especially in video game and pop music culture trivia.

...Sweet! 100Things plug.
