Show #069Direct Download:

OP: Major Tom (Coming Home) by Peter Schilling
ED: Paul Simon sings Scarborough Fair on the muppet show (featuring Miss Piggy), and the relevant excerpt of Scarborough Affair by Scooter

This episode does not have anything to do with:

• Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex, Terrorism and Radicalization

• Black Lagoon, piracy and the decline of the state.

But those shows are on their way.

• Erin went to Japan!
• Remember when we got engaged??? That was over a year ago!  Well, now we’re getting married… in Zero-G.
• But it’s not like some impossible task, like in the song Scarborough Fair…
• We will be the first couple to get married in zero gravity!
  • …or one of two couples if the Canadians go up with us.
• Right now it looks as if our wedding will be JUNE 13 JUNE 20th, 2009!

Which we have been planning, which is why Erin went to Japan…

to get this dress from Eri Matsui:

• Erin also went to Tokyo Anime Fair
• Hung out with Anime News Network peeps.
  • and, of course, Ed Chavez.
• Meanwhile, Erin will NOT work on the TMNT 25th anniversary thing… which will probably be awesome.
• Who cares though??? BEAN DOGS!!! Or mameshiba – here’s the official site and some of the commercials.
  • Neither a bean, nor a dog. Liminal. Kind of like natto.

• Noah has no facebook account, although there is a Friends of Noah facebook group.
• Soon we will be married in space. Well… Zero gravity… Well… SIMULATED zero gravity.
• Erin had a good experience working with Eri Matsui!

How does the zero-g work?
Look at this:

It’s like a roller coaster!

As seen here:

We are selling things! But first —

We pitched Whose Wedding is it Anyway? On the Style network. But… they turned us down.

So. We are selling things. Like these things:

• iPod Touch
• Kindle II
• Yaoi
• "Disappointing" (non-pornographic) Code Geas dojinshi

Do you want to come to our wedding? If you want to, maybe you can!

Or, if you want to give us a wedding gift — you can do it here.

• There will be receptions in NY and Michigan (and Boston Florida, for that matter).
• Horrible Michigan Traditions, some of which are wedding-related:
  • Chicken dance
  • Dollar dance
  • Glumkis
  • Punchkis
    • As featured in Deer Hunter.
• Hey! Weekly Anime Review People! You are totally invited to our Michigan reception!
• Glumki sounds gross. Pierogi sounds delicious.
• Goulash… is ok, maybe. Bigos is pretty good.

…and, in Japan, Erin also bought 24 cologne for Dave Riley.

"Take risk! Be sexy!"

OP & ED: “Chocolate Disco” by Perfume

Not so much a show as an announcement and an apology?

OP: "Fushigi Purupuru Pururin Rin!" by Shishido Rumi from the Welcome to the NHK OST
ED: The first Welcome to the NHK end theme, "Odoru Akachan Ningen" by Kenji Ohtsuki and Fumihiko Kitsutaka

This show might count as explicit. But maybe not? Let’s call this episode "OT," for "older teen," 14+. Part 3 will be explicit. I mean we literally discuss hentai in part 3.

Hi this is Alain from the anime blog Reverse Thieves. As a regular listener to your podcast I was wondering if you could do us a favor and mention a project we are currently recruiting for. If you find our project interesting could you mention the Otaku Diaries on your next podcast and/or post our project information and contact information on your website.

We at Reverse Thieves are looking to do something a little different.

We are proposing a project called the Otaku Diaries. We are looking for people who consider themselves otaku to participate in an anonymous survey. It will be profiling the lives, loves, and losses of these individuals and how their hobby has related to shaping them. We will also be looking for patterns as well as differences in the cases. We are looking for diverse people who are not afraid to get personal, questions will include topics like prior relationships, profession, and sexuality.

If you are interested here is how it is going to work. Send us an email at otakudiary@gmail.com with a brief description of yourself include your age, sex, and location. No names need be exchanged and your anonymity will be protected, create a separate e-mail account just for this survey if you wish. If you are selected to participate, you will be given a case # to which all your answers will be attributed. After all the data is collected we will be doing several blog posts about the results.

We hope to start at the end of February, depending on the number of responses.

Thanks!
