What is the Watercooler?

It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.

All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

Anime Club - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ep1-3

Meet your fellow otaku and enjoy some anime at the weekly Anime Club meetings in the Community Chat.

What's the Anime Club?
The Anime Club is a weekly chat room in theOtaku's community chat where we meet to have fun laughing, crying, heckling, and spazzing together while watching a few episodes of anime. The anime will most likely be available on streaming sites since we're mainly going to stick to unlicensed shows. I hope the Anime Club will be a good opportunity for people to find new series and genres that they enjoy, and for series to gather support for if/when they're licensed.

What are you watching?
We're currently watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, a twelve episode comedy/slice of life series. It features odd, morbid, and random humor, similar to Pani Poni Dash, Welcome to the NHK, and Genshiken.

When are the next episodes?
We will be watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei episodes 1 - 3 on Saturday, October 11, at 10:00 PM Eastern Time (7:00 PM Pacific). The chat room will open about a half hour early, around 9:30 PM Eastern, and the episodes will last about an hour and fifteen minutes altogether. We hope to see you there!

The password for the chat room will be: pinksupervisor

Well, I've Finally Done it.

Long story short, there was a discussion involving possible character redesigns in One Piece due to recent manga events and I decided to go and do the impossible (and see the invisible) by touching my two current top fandoms together, Here's the result.

Now if the universe hasn't exploded yet, can I go ahead and claim my internets now?

Who you calling a pretty, pretty princess?

Here's a little something for Ichigo... for being a pretty princess and all, that was sold to white slavery in Korea - and managing to escape... XD

Blame Miss Anonymous for filling my head with this idea...

Behold!

Ah... outsiders...

So I read the headlines off of AOL News, right? Well, I saw the headline "Geeky Event Bring Out Hot Babes" and I was all "non-anime fans judging an anime convention?" Turns out I was right.
