Review: Steins;gate

Besides being a fan of anime, I am a dyed-in-the-wool Trekker. (And yes, I said Trekker, not Trekkie) And out of all the plot lines in all the episodes of all the Trek franchises (yes, I even liked Voyager and Enterprise) my favorite by far are the episodes where our intrepid heroes travel back in […]


Shock! MikuMikuDance seemingly back from the dead; developer releases new update (Update: yet another new release out now!)

To download it, go to the developer’s website and click where it says “MikuMikuDance (DirectX9 Ver.)” for the 32bit version, or “MikuMikuDance(x64 Ver)” for the 64bit […]


Looking for some cheap anime? Try a thrift store! (or flea market/swap meet/garage sale/etc.)

First, apologies for the lack of content recently. Due to a variety of factors (sudden change in co-hosts, unstable work situation, etc.) I haven’t had a chance to produce much new content lately. But that is about to change, as we swing into the summer con season. In fact I have a new video episode […]

Updated with a link to another cool video I found explaining the basics of Bitcoin, what it is, how it works, etc.

Cool Find: Lepai LP-2020A+ and Dayton Audio B652 = Best Computer Speakers Ever

Editor’s note: Hey everyone. Sorry for the lack of new episodes/blog posts. Things have been even crazier than normal for me and I just haven’t had time to put anything together. We also have some changes in our line-up of co-hosts. Stay tuned, there will be a more official announcement on this later.

Cool Find: Crackle is yet another way to watch anime for free

Today’s anime fans are pretty damn lucky. Gone are the days when you had to wait time immemorial for (insert name of random anime distributor) to dole out the next DVD of whatever anime series you’re following, which of course you’d have to pay like $30 or more for. And if you suddenly got the […]


Cool Find: Dominos iOS App Featuring Hatsune Miku

As anime and other facets of otaku culture become more mainstream, Japanese companies have started to wake up and take notice, and have started marketing their products and services to the otaku demographic. Oftentimes products and services use some form of anime mascot character, while other companies opt for tie-ins with popular anime titles such […]


Announcing the Otaku no Podcast Subreddit!

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, we briefly experimented with setting up our own Digg-style news aggregator website thingie, a place where you, our listeners and readers, could submit the anime/manga/Japan/whatever related stories that you found particularly interesting. This short-lived experiment ended in failure, as the only people who frequented that […]
