Oh, and that is REALLY cheap what Tokyo Pop is doing. When I entered their contest for Rising Stars of Prose (I can't draw a manga page to save my life, but I have pretty good knowledge in english literature for my age ^^;;) I made sure that there were no rules like that. It really is ridiculous. What has Tokyo Pop become? T-T
I was reading about the Death Note incident on Wikipedia as well. I find it AMAZING how some people believe that writing someone's name in a fake Death Note is a good idea. I personally LOVE Death Note (it's true! I PRAY that they will make the DS games for Death Note into english soon, they would be so awesome!), but I at least have the common sense not to do something as stupid as that. I mean, yeah it's just a joke, but sometimes I guess that's how you weed out the pysco people from those who just want to have fun. It's a LITTLE dramatic that they banned horror stories from China though (or attempting to at least), just because of a Death Note. But hey, who am I to make the rules? The saddest part is that mostly everyone caught with a Death Note has been a middle schooler like me, and it really makes me wonder what some teenagers think.
Anywho, I don't really care too much about those people who got caught because it is their own fault for doing it in the first place. I will forever love Death Note, and I will forever have the sense -and sanity- NOT to do something as stupid as that. That would ruin Death Note not only for me, but for others as well (and I really hope my friends don't have Death Notes and start writing people's names down. What if someone writes MY name down? o_O)
heh, you guys are funny and informative as always ^_^
Something I've been wondering for a long time though, where the heck is Chigo? (is that how you spell his name^^?). Sorry if you've already answered this somewhere^^;
Hey, thanks for the late birthday gift! You guys rock!
Oh, my 14th birthday was the 30th, if I got you confused. Hey, wait, no more Strawberry-chan for a while? That sucks! Who am I going to laugh at for their randomness-ness?
Oh, my brother wants to go to Japan too. Then again, I wanted to go to North Carolina. Not happening.
It's relieving to know that I'm not the only person who will burst into the "Crab people" chant. It's completely whacky to think of someone living in a closet without the knowledge of the owner. I wonder where she was having her mail sent to.
The Manga contest contract makes me think of when Limp Bizkit held open auditions after their guitarist quit. Everyone who tried out to take his place had to audition with an original song, the rights to which were handed over to Fred Durst. I hate that guy, and the sneaky business tactic. While I'm not artistic myself, I realize artists and creative minds deserve reconition for their work.
Btw, you pronounced my screenname right, which just made my day. XD Everyone always says one-one-six-four or eleven-hundred sixty four. (Where DID I come up with 1164, though? o_O Uh... I think it was when I was registered on a Naruto forum and all the Uchiha names were taken, so a I just picked a random number I thought sounds cool. ._.?)
NARUTO MUGEN! I remember now! :D ... ... ... It was hacked by the Oresme Crew... D: I remember now...
:( Aw, you're not gonna do the podcast together for a couple weeks? Meh... Well, at least I might be able to see Ichigo in Japan in July while I'm there! :D

Why is it that when I heard of someone living in somebody's closet, Rukia was the first that popped in my head?
Anyway, with Ichigo gone, what will the podcast intro be?
Hi, I'm Batou...
And I'm Batou, and this is The Otaku podcast...
Hehehe...

Sounds like Welltall and the old Enchanter are in the background this time.
How can someone live in another person's closet for a whole year without them noticing? Was that like a spare closet the guy never opened?
I was rather surprised I'd one that caption battle.
I await to see what the future of the podcast holds. And hope Ichigo has fun on his trip.
Bazinga!

I know how to convince co-hosts to show up. Offer beer... or pocky... or even both.
Send it in a PM? Wow. That’s, like, the epitome of ditzy right there, no matter who you are.
Woman in his closet.... hm... great. First Monsters Inc., now this. Why must there be so many reasons to not go in the closet?
See, this is one more reason for me to not like TokyoPop.
No Fan Word ranting? *shrugs*
Have fun Ichigo. Later.
Be true, be you and of course, be otaku.

bato should prank call Ichigo while he's in japan during the podcast.
That would be the best podcast this season.
