I think Ichigos grow really thick coats and sleep in their dens until - No, no, wait, that's something else; never mind.
Ha ha, that whole 'sword' dialogue made me think of 'Spaceballs'. "You have the ring. And I see your schwartz is as big as mine."
Yeah, I'm just not into American superhero comics; I did used to watch the old X-Men cartoons (you know, when all the women had the big permed hair) and thought that was fine, but since then it's over.
"Rowsdower, Rowsdower, getting water for Rowsdower." Whoa, that Viking women one was . . . meh. Funny short.
I think Someguy stands a pretty good chance as Otaku of the Year (in singular; in group it probably would end up being you podcast guys.)

I will never see Tetsusaiga in the same way ever again...
Add that to the same list as the maggot covered severed heads, then.
And my inner nerd must correct you and say that Sesshomaru’s sword does not “heal” people with its touch, but it kills the demons that are coming to take the soul away and… that somehow heals them. Yeah.
On Movie Sign: We made January, like "favorites month". The Mike episodes were super easy (Final Sacrifice and Space Mutiny, for the uneducated), but the Joel episodes were hard to agree upon since our knowledge of them is scattered (and we ended up pushing a bunch of ideas to Febuary/March, hur hur).
In the end I...kinda had to pull executive decisions and declare what both of the Joel episodes would be. o_O Manos was already required, but Viking Women came because of the short and the ever-famous waffles obsession had during the host segments. ...And I thought it was good. >o>
There's a reason why the deadline for The Otaku of the Year is on Monday, 11:59pm. That would give me time to tally the votes cast and make a short write-up about The Otaku of the Year, as well as the runners-up & honorable mentions. When that's accomplished, I could post everything either on Tuesday or on New Year's Eve.
Few things . . . while K-1 certainly has some "ultimate fighting" elements of mixed martial arts, it's really more of a kickboxing sport than a MMA sport proper; case in point, it's pretty much all stand-up with no ground fighting. C'mon now, get with the times, no one calls it "ultimate fighting" anymore unless they're either talking about UFC (and even then it's a stretch) or if they're basically pulling a "japanimation" vocabulary thingy.
Second, the story about the unreleased Fantastic Four movie is even sadder than "they made a whole movie, looked at it, and went 'meh' and shelved it". The whole movie was a deliberate ashcan work because the company behind it, Constantin Film, had bought the rights to a Fantastic Four movie but had sat on it without making anything. When they were about to lose the license, they quickly rushed a crappy low-budget movie into the works so they could legitimately say they were making one. Of course, this fact was left out of the talks with the cast and crew who thought they were making a legitimate film. Yeah no . . .
Third, I really wanna watch Conan now. They need to get that bad boy on Blu-Ray . . .

Just here to say that The Otaku of the Year has now been published:

Adam got the honors this year. Podcast team was lucky enough to get an honorable mention (since someone voted for them).
