theOtaku.com Anime Podcast V - Ep. 12
Batou supports animal cruelty, apparently, which is ironic in that he chose opening music from a movie famously known to have upset animal rights people because they let a stunt horse roll over FAKE wooden stakes that a human stunt actor had just rolled over previously.
Also, "Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats, Hoooooo!" Ahem.
Music - Anvil of Crom by Basil Poledouris from Conan The Barbarian

Caption Battle: Victim/Assailant Confusion
"It's caption battle time. Happy New Year."
But first, last week's winners:
In third place, because pretending to not call girls fat is always good for grins: AsagiTaichou!
I didn't do it! She just started crying! But I SWEAR I didn't call her "fat"!
In second place, reading the screencap for all it was worth: Ichigo of Anime Pulse!
Akane couldn't bear to face Shampoo and co. after the amazing zinger regarding her fiance's yellow scarf.
And in the coveted first place, being funnier depending on who you are... TrinityLight!
AHH YOUR HAND IS COLD!
Bweh heh heh... good job, guys and girls.
So this week's screencap comes courtesy of Ryosuke Forever and features the series Nabari no Ou. Going from left to right, the characters are: Raimei Shimizu, Miharu Rokujou, Tobari Kumohira, and Kouichi Aizawa. Give 'er a go:

Happy Holidays (And What Did You Get?)
We're an otaku site, so a yearly tradition we have is to ask you, our fine members, what otaku-related stuff they got this holiday season. The older I get the fewer otaku gifts I receive...this year I got just two:
-- An iTunes gift card that I'm going to use to buy lots of games with
-- My implementing a lot of changes to our security to make the site fast again despite the spammer attacks
How did you do?
theOtaku.com Anime Podcast V - Ep. 11
It was a 20-something long podcast. I listened to it an hour ago. Right now all I can think of is how Ichigo referenced Serenity. Booyah.
Music - Loosey by THE STRiPES from Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel)

Caption Battle: Awkwarrrrrd...
"This week's very special Christmas Caption Battle is brought to you by ACME!"
"Whenever we're feeling blue,
here's what we always do,
when your face is long, sing the ACME song,
you'll feel so fresh and new!"
But first, last week's winners:
In third place, because not everyone likes to be called hopeless-but-cute: Koneko Krysta!
Ichigo never dared to use "Rukia" and "moe" in the same sentence ever again after this.
In second place, because Johnny Yong Bosch jokes never get old: TrinityLight!
GO GO POWER RANGER!
And in the coveted first place, driving to the basic heart of the funny... Grayfire!
Rukia cannot dance. Period.
Special mention also needs to be made to Aceburner, who took my fishing bait and actually made something awesome out of it... less mention shall be made of people who unwittingly took said bait. Either way, this week was a quality week for captions. You've all pleased an old man's heart. Thank you.
Being that it's only five sleeps until Christmas, I figured something festive was necessary. So, this week's screencap comes once again from Ye Olde Archives (and Batou - you're a fun guy and I love ya in the platonic way yaoi girls hate, but I'm saying this to you specifically since this comes up every week I do this and you haven't quite figured it out yet - "Ye Olde Archives" refer to my [me, SomeGuy, the guy who does the caption battles] collection of screencaps that I have also picked up). The shot comes from the Ranma 1/2 Christmas OVA, and features Ranma Saotome in the blue and Akane Tendo in his lap; further, if you must know, the girl in the pink pants is Shampoo and the girl in the navy blue tights is Ukyo - the guys in the background are named Harold and Kumar. That's probably more than enough description for one week... you know the rest:
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. Happy captioning, and Merry Christmas as always!
