theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VIII - Ep. 17

Agreed. In the long run of things, "bastard" is not really as bad a word as some others.

Oh yeah, and Sega's PAXtravaganza was the effin' bomb.

Caption Battle: Bearing Gifts of Tuna

"It's that time again..."
"To wonder why it's a slow news week?"
"To figure out why SomeGuy is a lazy bum?"*
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

Right, so SomeGuy apparently had to go have some big photo shoot at some convention this week (pretty boy), so your resident News Editor is filling in.

Oh, so I suppose I should go over last time's winners:

In third place, with an oldie but a goodie: 1dev13!

Hana: LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

In second place, because everyone loves cannibalism: TimeChaser!

McDonald's went a little too far with its concept for the McBaby.

And in the coveted first place, because I'm known to love a clever bit of snark when I see it... cougarsama!

And this is why people shouldn't steal Madonna's stuff.

Great job, guys. Kinda hard to pick just three.

This week's screencap comes from some unknown screencapper (since SomeGuy DIDN'T TELL ME) and features Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. Starting from the left is Reborn, Tsuna, Dino, and Squalo.

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 something about it. Good luck, captioneers!

(*Statement may or may not be truthful. You decide. :V)

Oh sweet, I finished the caption battle in time for the podcast after all! And if that's not bad enough, PAX type stuff happens next week so late caption battle may potentially be possible again. Shameful, huh? Anyway, podcast. Go.

Music - Fast Forward by Monkey Majik from Nurarihyon no Mago

Caption Battle: Eats Babies...

Sorry this is late! Film race took up 24 hours of my life! I'm back now, though.

So yes, last week's winners:

In third place, being able to read minds: Hisaishi!

Bulimia is so '87, Koyoi.

In second place, because this is how anime rolls: kyouyarenge!

Ayumi: That's a size B?!

And in the coveted first place, only because the arm nub makes it awesome... Ace!

Looks like Ayumi just had to ask Koyoi to define "futanari".

Good job. Still, I think I'll call it now: futanari in captions will not be funny for the next month. We must diversify!

This week's screencap comes courtesy of Miss Anonymous and features the film Tokyo Godfathers. From left to right we have Gin, Miyuki and Hana; the baby's name is Kiyoko:

Random fact: Ichigo went through the entire sci-fi section of his old library back home. Oh that bookworm... also, we may or may not need to create a help centre or something for people who get roughed up by Ichigo's stinging words. I call not it.
