Caption Battle: Frogz - Freaked Good Inc...

"It's that time again..."
"To figure out which Kirsten Dunst movie is on TV?"
"To try to remember the name of Tom Hanks' son?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, with the obvious explanation: SojiRem!

We all know secretly the other two are on their knees.

In second place, with the three word winner: xfishyx!

God bless steroids.

And in the coveted first place with a very all-encompassing kinda line (and now on a very hot Calaya-esque streak)... red.alchemist!

...they really kind of screwed up the character designs in the new season, didn't they?

Good week. Well done, guys. Moving on...

This week we'll go with a screencap courtesy of cheetahgirlz9 and features that underground fan favourite Naruto. You should really know all this, but... blonde hair belongs to Naruto, pink hair belongs to Sakura, and no hair belongs to the frog. Whose name is Gamakichi. Have fun:

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 cosplay doesn't hurt, it means you're doing it wrong.

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VI - Ep. 18

Day late, I know. I forgot my login info-type stuff to actually get the podcast in the first place. Anyway, I found it, so it's all good. Batou does a one-man show this week, so everyone be sure to hate on Ichigo, okay? Still, Oz-lost fellow wished me a nice happy birthday, so don't hate on him too much. Or something.

Caption Battle: Big Dreams, Tall Order...

"It's that time again..."
"To divide by zero?"
"To learn that he's not a walking bear?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, going "that one particular route": LoulouSegawa!

Miroku has a yaoi paddle in his other hand.

In second place, with a gutsy border-skirter: Allamorph!

Finding clever ways to smell your girlfriend's hair tip #6: Feign homophobia.

And in the coveted first place, for just straight up being awesome... red.alchemist!

Well, isn't that how dogs say hello?

Very nice, high five. Moving on...

So all my screencaps got mixed around so I no longer remember which came first and which did not. So we're gonna go with a new one courtesy of amandaxthomas and featuring good ol' Fullmetal Alchemist (possibly Brotherhood, I still haven't started that yet). You should all really know this by now, but just in case... girl on the left is Winry, guy on the right is Alphonse, and guy in the middle is Vic Minogna. Have fun:

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VI - Ep. 17

A'ight, here's the deal. I'm tired, I'm working a long shift tomorrow, and I haven't listened to the podcast yet. I'm sure it's excellent, but all I can tell you is that Batou's in command this week. You know what to expect, I'm sure.
