Episode #0012 – Convention Survival Guide

Welcome to a very ghetto episode of Otaku no Podcast. I say “ghetto” because I am doing NO editing whatsoever in this episode. That’s because it’s past 4 AM on the morning I’m supposed to be leaving for FanimeCon. Actually I was supposed to leave last night but wasn’t able to get my act together [...]

Anime Expo is, I would wager, one of the US’s largest anime conventions (44,000 attended in 2009), [...]


It’s officially official: Come see my panel @ FanimeCon!

Well, those of you who have been particularly observant may have caught me making vague references to this on Twitter or Facebook, or on some of my past video podcasts.  And if you were paying attention to last week’s audio episode, you almost certainly heard me announce this.  Well, now it’s officially official: I will [...]

A big wave of controversy hit the anime scene recently, thanks to a blog posting by Bang Zoom president Eric Sherman, basically railing against fansubbers and anime pirates for ruining the industry. Well we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to comment on this. So strap yourself in and get ready for a… controversial show!
