theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VI - Ep. 5

It's kinda funny because they still can't quite figure out how to say "Desbreko". Ah well... short show this week, but that's okay. Ichigo does what he can... and stuff.

Music - Spiral by Angela from Asura Cryin'

Caption Battle: Fuwa-Fuwa Da Nya!

"It's that time again..."
"To plant the bulbs?"
"To spray the roaches?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, being funny for reasons I almost wish weren't: red.alchemist!

Dragonball Z, the Movie: Gohan in Gaza

In second place, continuing the movie-based jokes: Hisaishi!

Gohan: Think I'm screwin' with your mind? I dare ya to watch Evolution, punk.

And in the coveted first place, more or less summing up all the other captions nicely... jomz!

You can all blame Freud on your captions for this one.

T'was a pretty good week, guys. Kudos. And now let's ruin everything by using a Des' screencap!

Desbreko of the Nine Moe shows his versatility this week in having screencaps of something other than lolis! This week it's a shot from Chi's New Address and features - from left to right - Alice and Chi. And yes, they're cats:

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 have at it, and remember: the Chicago Blackhawks are the enemy.
