Music in this episode: “Somebody Told Me” by The Killers
That’s Japan! Episode One: The Kancho!
Erin: I am talking about dinner at Otakon Friday night, when my friends could not have hated Daryl “before” dinner as Daryl joined us there. Noah is talking about my friends on the way to dinner on Saturday night.
Contest Daryl Surat has won: the Anime Pulse Pickle contest, the Otakugeneration contest “Guess the Character in the Envelope Contest” – and an Anime News Network contest? How did he get an extra Patlabor box set?
Our first Contest: Win a Date with Daryl Surat!
Conditions for Winning:
- Are you female?
- Do you live in Florida? Preferably near Orlando? Or better still, 90 minutes south of Orlando?
- Are you single? (i.e. not involved in a long or serious relationship – NOT married. Divorced is OK!)
- Are you 18 or over? Age of Consent in Florida is 18
- Preferably, but not necessarily, you ought to be heterosexual. I guess it’s different for post-op transsexuals. You could still win based on the above conditions.
Chances are that so few people meet these conditions that basically if you enter, you win. There is the potential for multiple winners.
We sing Fast Karate‘s praises again.

Noah doesn’t like/watch giant robot anime.
- So G-Gundam sucks.
- Fist of the North Star in TV form, Movie form, and live action.
- AMV of FotNS and Nutcracker Suite – note: I can’t find this video on http://www.animemusicvideos.org – maybe it never existed, or it’s so old that the creator never put the info online, or Noah has gotten the song wrong entirely.
- Vodka Candy
- Swan the manga!
- Princess Tutu is awesome!!!
- This AMV is awesome!!
- The Eurovision song contest.
