Caption Battle: First Pregnant Men, Now This...

"It's that time again..."
"To decapitate French nobility?"
"To hate on the Qing Dynasty?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, enjoying the contrariness of contradiction: cougarsama!

Well, at least it's a nice day for it . . .

In second place, leading with a love of laconicism: Rageon!

Itsuki: "What baby?"

And in the coveted first place, simply because y'alls know I like boats... KeenHavoc!

If you played the game then you'd know that this is one of the happier endings to School Days.

Y'know, I should really watch that some day... good week, lots of captions. Thanks, guys.

This week's screencap comes courtesy of 1dev13 and features the series Ouran High School Host Club. Guy on the left is Tamaki, girl on the right is Haruhi. But you probably knew that already, didn't ya?

theOtaku.com Anime Podcast VIII - Ep. 12

Not gonna say too much about this week. After this week's opening song, I think I have diabetes now. In any case, we didn't get at least eleven posts last week. Ichigo shall now take away all your iPods. Way to go, audience. Way to lose us all our iPods.

Caption Battle: Abomination Has Been Planted...

"It's that time again..."
"To nap?"
"To remember that all-you-can-eat sushi never ends well?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place: Kratos Cruxis!

It's at times like this when you wonder if you left the stove on.

In second place: myanimeworld149!

The Joker try-outs were really getting desperate.
Heath Ledger we miss you...

And in the coveted first place... Silver Mech!

It's just like college! One guy is inattentive while another beats him with a slice of cheese, and dresses the inattentive guy like a cat girl.

Not a lot of entries last week. Let's try better this week, nya?
