Don't Panic, One Year Later...
FUNimation Entertainment's Industry Panel at Sakura-Con 2009 It’s been a week since I actually attended Adam Sheehan’s FUNimation industry panel at Sakura-Con 2009, and it’s been a little over a year since I walked into ...theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VI - Ep. 2
Ichigo has seen all of Buffy. However, he knows jack all about Canada (it's called "poutine"). Other than that, I'll try to get my Sakura-Con stuff done this week. Lots of news commentary this week, so yay!
Music - Don't Say "Lazy" by Yoko Hikasa from K-On!
The following podcast may contain some coarse language that may offend some listeners. Discretion is advised.
For a link to Anime Pulse's theOtaku.com World, go here.
For a link to The Watercooler World, go here.
And finally, you can find Ichigo's travel log over at the Anime Pulse website (under the "features" tab). He's gettin' some crazy adventures over there. Go read. Right after the podcast.

Caption Battle: Philosopher's Stone Is People!
"It's that time again..."
"To count the Rorschach cosplayers?"
"To realize you shouldn't encourage your young daughter to take a picture with the man dressed up as a bear?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"
But first, last time's winners:
In third place, with what I feel is this week's best reference caption: jomz!
Guu: I hear you like mudkips...
In second place, with the best non-obvious caption: cougarsama!
Worst Higurashi parody ever.
And in the coveted first place, being the best and most original of "the obvious captions"(TM)... batosai33!
Hare: please tell me that is a pencil.
Baa-zing. Fun times, good showing for two weeks straight, guys. Let's move on, shall we?
This week's screencaps come from the always helpful Kimmeh, and features good ol' Fullmetal Alchemist (whether it's the new series or not I couldn't tell ya). Guy on the left is Aaron, the guy on the right is Vic. 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. And remember: the plural of moose is not mooses, though some people feel that the plural of fish is still fishes.
Major Portfolio Clean Up
After people started subscribing to, literally, thousands of other members, we knew it was time for a change. Your portfolio pages will now only display 18 subscribers and subscriptions at a time (randomized every hour). This will result in much faster loading.
So that you can still see everyone who's subscribed to you (and who you've subscribed to), we've created a new page with all that information, broken down into pages for easy browsing. This page is also sorted by date added, so you can see your newest subs at the very end.
Enjoy!
