theOtaku.com Anime Podcast V - Ep. 16
Okay... Ichigo, buddy, YTV is a TV channel, not an actual dub creator. While totally possible that YTV requested the name change, don't be blaming anyone for anything yet until we know. Besides, Canada hardly set the precedent for the process - but no, let's overlook that one, shall we?
Ass.
Music - Cruel Angel's Thesis by Takahashi Youko from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Now Recruiting: Otaku Angels
There's a new rank in town, available only to Senior Otaku and above, the rank of an Otaku Angel. An Otaku Angel is a long-time member whose purpose is to give back to the community in terms of answering questions for new members, being a positive role model, encouraging new members and submitters, and representing us on other sites positively.
Attaining the rank of Otaku Angel is not easy. Unlike the other ranks, you have to either volunteer for it or be nominated for it. Here are the requirements just to be considered:
- Senior Otaku or above
- You have a flawless permanent record on theO, meaning you've never been in any sort of trouble at all here
- You've never left an inappropriate comment anywhere (we will look through every comment you've ever posted) and your comments are friendly and helpful
- You have absolute integrity
All Otaku Angels start out as Otaku Angelites and work their way to Otaku Angels, and then finally to Otaku Archangel.
Unlike the other titles, the rank of Otaku Angel requires an ongoing commitment and the title can be lost for inactivity. You'll have to keep a diary of what you're doing and report in at least once a month.
If you'd like to apply to become an Otaku Angel, simply comment here or PM SabrinaM, the person who is in charge of this program. Additionally, if you know someone who would make a great Otaku Angel, please encourage them to apply or nominate them here (we'll contact them and see if they're interested if you just nominate).
Every month we will choose either one or two people to become new Angels. This is a very tough process so you shouldn't be discouraged if you don't make it. Enjoy and good luck!
Caption Battle: The Borsch Battle Is OVAH!
"It's that time again..."
"To argue who voiced the best Gohan?"
"To grow an impeccable beard?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"
But first, last week's winners:
In third place, because Asian people talk funny: Zeru!
Souseiseki: I feer so ronry.
In second place, surely amusing those Gurren Lagann crazies out there: Miss Anonymous!
Kanaria & Hinaichigo: Our moe will pierce the heavens!
Souseiseki: *facepalm*
And in the coveted first place, probably unintentionally but because captions need not always be stories or quotes... Rageon!
...I can't write a caption for this, it just melted my eyes.
What day is it today... the 24th? Congratulations, everyone, you've all almost survived Rozen Maiden Month...
So once again, coming from the archives of The Moecholy of Desbreko Suzumiya comes a Rozen Maiden screencap. Once again, it's Suiseiseki. But this time, she brought props:
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. Operators are standing moe. I mean by.
