theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VII - Ep. 7

Oh yeah, I meant to reply back to whether you were insinuating I watched Twilight or not. Then I got lazy and never got back to check that. I'll take your word for it, in any case, so sure. As for the rest of the podcast, I never finished listening to it before I uploaded it. I'm sure the rest is very good, though - meantime, double cash for Uncharted 2 multiplayer, so I'll be doing that while the rest of you play this.

Also, sex tape.

Music - Treasure by Hekiyou Gakuen Seitokai from Seitokai no Ichizon

Caption Battle: Reaping What You Sow...

"It's that time again..."
"To learn the difference between an AC-130 and an A-10?"
"To keep Jack Sparrow's dad from falling over and knocking down Autobot Jazz?"
"No... time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In runner up, because it was more clever than others: cougarsama!

Another adorable chibi moment ruined.

And in first place as dictated by who answered first when I asked others about it... Grayfire!

It's Scrubbin' Bubbles of the FUTURE!

That's right. There are only two winners this week. Straight up to y'all... the vast, vast majority of last week's captions just straight up weren't that funny. At all. Yes, yes, we all hate Twilight; that doesn't make a completely unrelated topic any funnier - it's just lazy. You guys were being lazy. Even the ones who didn't use Twilight captions, I expect better from you all...

...for this disappointing week, consider yourselves all wearing the cone of shame:

Yes. Feel the shame.

Moving on...

This week's screencap comes courtesy of love966 and features the short series Gag Manga Biyori. I don't have names, and frankly, you really don't need names for this one. C'mon guys, you can do it... I have faith in you...

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: faith and a quarter will get you twenty-five cents!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello my dearest otaku,

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving on behalf of our staff. Here's a list of a few things that we as a site as a whole are thankful for:

  • That we had over 100 great suggestions for our next upgrade
  • That our next upgrade is progressing at a steady pace
  • That our semi-new Challenges feature is quite popular with some great expansion potential
  • That our team is still happily kicking it
  • That despite many industry problems we are still happily sponsored by a company as cool as FUNimation

What are YOU thankful for related to this website?

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VII - Ep. 6

Ichigo, if you haven't heard about "Men Who Stare At Goats", I now need to ask... have you heard about "The Expendables" yet? It's like, action star power overload... it'll be fun.

And no, guys, I'm not watching Twilight. Don't be stupid.

Caption Battle: The Evil Not Seen...

"It's that time again..."
"To find more retail shelf space for another Guitar Hero game?"
"To take it to Renaissance Italy, one hidden blade assassination at a time?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, being just geeky enough to be extra funny: KeenHavoc!

Wario: "Hey, did you see this awesome valley?!"
Sonic: "Man I hate bump mapping."

In second place with some nice deadpan observational humour: darknessslayer!

One of the better games Sonic has been in recently.

And in the coveted first place, with a kinda cheap but undeniably funny shot... Miss Anonymous!

Sonic could have lived without the knowledge that Wario was wearing a thong.

There were a few great lines in there this week, so good work. Moving on...

This week we'll go with an old screencap courtesy of Nehszriah featuring the series Cyborg 009 (the 2001 series, specifically). On the left is Cyborg 006 (alias Chang Changku), on the right is Dr. Isaac Gilmore. Go for it:
