Welcome back from your adventures, Ichigo.
The methods of the anti-whaling people may be questionable, but I also find it questionable that you'd really need to kill whole wales to take "tissue samples". I've only watched part of one episode of Whale Wars, and I saw some guy on a whaling ship holding up a sign that said "We are only taking tissue samples." I'm sorry, I don't buy it unless someone proves to me there's no other way that doesn't involve killing the whale.
Yay my rant was read on the show! Well yes, I am not religious. But my basic point in that rant was that it amazes me that some people still truly believe that "the stars" mystically control our destinies. The truth about astronomy and cosmology is far more exciting and awe-inspiring than anything humans made up in the past when they knew a lot less about the universe. Anyway, I guess I'm ranting again, yadda yadda...
I am definitely looking forward to watching Monster when SyFy starts playing it. I've wanted to see that series for a long time.
Wow, and I thought US politics was messed up. Sounds like a real fun old time over there in Japan. Happiness Realization Party? Sounds trippy.
i saw a "that guy" before!
only it was a girl.
in a Naruto cosplay.
climbing trees while waiting in a line for an anime convention to open.
and hugging all the Sasuke's going by.
best 2 hours waiting in line of my life
and it's Tamaki.
not Vic.
or Honey.
niiiiice.

I liked 'Ponyo' even though I kept wondering a couple times what I was missing in the dub. And I didn't stay for the cheesy closing credit song; cheesy Japanese lyrics are way preferable to cheesy American lyrics. You'd've thought though that having one of the Jonas brothers dubbing one of the lead characters would've brought in more of the young crowd.
I've seen the first two episodes of 'Monster' and it looked like it had potential; I'd like to catch more of it. Wish I had SyFy.
As far as live-action anime movies, I kinda wish I could see the Blood the Last Vampire one, but that's all. I saw the newest trailer for the Avatar movie and was puzzled by it; something seems amiss. And who's the highly feminine blue character on the gigantic banner that's posted in the theaters?
This week's caption battle has a lot of entries already, yes, but a lot of them are basically just the same thing. Word of advice: if you are entering the caption battle, read the entered comments first so that you don't end up sounding like some kind of dorky copycat or ripoff. That why I haven't been entering lately: nothing really left to say.

Welcome back Ichigo! :P
Haha, it was awesome hearing Ichigo say my name xD
Yeah, I've seen a few episodes of Whale Wars, but I don't pay all too much attention to it. It is kind of stupid how the Nishimaru isn't trying to take out the Steve Erwin, lol.
Ponyo came out on the same day as like..3 other movies. Band Slam was one of them, but there was another one that sounded pretty interesting and I can't remember the name. All the young kids probably wanted to go see Band Slam, so that might have contributed to Ponyo getting 9th.
I started watching The Guild after I saw that music video, and I love it! I play Guild Wars all the time, so it was fun to watch. Very hilarious show, I can't wait till season 3 comes out :P Do You Want To Date My Avatar is a very catchy song in my opinion, lol.
Anyway, thats all I've got to say for this week. Great podcast guys, keep up the awesome work! :D

I do believe that Japanese politics are just more amusing than anything else now that I've heard that breakdown of the parties.
...and I am glad that you weren't eaten by kappa or anything like that Ichigo.
Be true, be you and of course, be otaku.

Jed Whedon wrote the lyrics to the music video that I referred to. But you're right, Joss isn't officially involved in that, just Jed.

You know it.
Also, Joss Whedon has littleto nothing to do with The Guild. That one's all Felicia.
