Time For A New Forum At OtakuBoards

It's time to nominate an anime to receive it's own forum over at OtakuBoards. Last time, Fullmetal Alchemist was added, so be sure to head over there and let us know which one you'd like to see.

All suggestions can either be posted here, or in the thread for it over at OtakuBoards, which can be found here: New Forum

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VI - Ep. 20

Dum-dee-dum... so there I was, about 11am, watching random old movies and stuff on TV when House came on. It involves Stacey and Foreman has hair stubble, so it was season two. Started watching that when suddenly e-mail pings me... oh yeah! Podcast!

Music - Shugoshin ~The Guardian~ by Jam Project from Shin Mazinger
Shougeki! Z-Hen

Caption Battle: Diagnosis, Idiot...

"It's that time again..."
"To consider that not all batteries are the same?"
"To accept that there's room for a hundred more people?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place: ChibiSasuke!

This is one of those secret, ancient egyptian murals, isn't it?

In second place: Ichigoslilsista!

Sakura needs her daily intake of frogs NOW!!!

And in the coveted first place, with a rare "long caption" win... Sakaki Sakura!

What happened here is quite obvious:

Sakura and Naruto were having a wonderful day, watching a little orange frog in a cape hop by, when Sakura casually looked up and saw... A GIGANTIC FLYING HIPPOPOTAMUS!!!!

What else could it possibly be?

Cheers. Moving on...

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VI - Ep. 19

Alright, the first third of the entire podcast was talk about whaling and marsupials. This cracks me up so, so much. And yes, Tasmanian Devils are totally marsupials. Oh, and then they talk about anime and stuff. Probably, I dunno, I mostly just wanna post this quickly so I can get back to playing Empire: Total War... ahem... oh, and don't forget to comment! Or you'll make Baby Batou cry.

Music - Batou didn't know. Go fig'.
