about today’s accidental AudioBoos

I’m not sure how or why, but apparently a few random peoples’ AudioBoos somehow accidentally made it onto the Otaku no Podcast AudioBoo feed. So far it looks like this is just an isolated event, but just in case it isn’t, I’ve temporarily disabled AudioBoo publishing. Sorry for any inconvenience and/or confusion, and thanks for […]

First, there was the story of the increased popularity of the Washimiya, Saitama area of Japan (and in particular the Washinomiya Shrine located there) because of the fact that much of the anime “Lucky Star” is based in that area. Now comes word of the latest real-life-spot-turned-otaku-mecca, Toyosato High School in Shiga Prefecture.

Available for the Mac, Windows, Linux, and AppleTV, Boxee presents an excellent “10-foot interface” ideal for use on a Media Center computer – that is, a computer hooked up to a large-screen TV, projector, etc. It makes it really easy to watch/listen to your movies, TV […]


“Anime TV” visits Anime Los Angeles 6

Little did I know, but the folks over at Anime TV, Revision3‘s new anime show, paid a visit to the recently-held Anime Los Angeles 6 held last month. Either they hired uber leet invisible ninja cameramen, or I simply did not notice them thanks to my oblivious-to-the-world nature. More likely the latter. Anyway they highlighted […]

Video #0003 - The Sushi Experiment 2.0: Rolled Sushi

Well, I didn’t get any angry e-mails or death threats, so I’m assuming that you folks liked our first videocast (or were at the very least willing to tolerate it). So we’re back with another. In this, our second installment in the Sushi series, we’ll be talking about how to make maki sushi, or rolled […]
