Live and at AnimeNEXT!!!! ...recorded live on June 17th, 2006.
This week we were live at AnimeNEXT 2006, and in front of a LIVE audience (small, but an awesome bunch), plus a audience member guest hosted (corbin)!! Iron Dragon, McKeed, Cardinal Richelieu, and of course Jefferson were all there. This podcast wasn't without technical problems like cosplay in the background, the AC above our mics, and mic feedback... but it was still an awesome time. Listen to the LIVE cranzyness recorded at AnimeNEXT! Hear Bryce do some live random interviews, and Mckeed be drunk! Brian Price even stopped in for a moment... This week is good stuff, so download and listen!
NOTE: I cut the voicemails out of the show this week, because you could barely hear them over the noise, and the LIVE audience could barely hear them without mic feedback, so we will hold them over for the next show, when we can play them in the studio without technical issues.

Flame of the Week by Bryce :: (hatemail@otakugeneration.net)This is a new segment idea... direct any of your flames / hatred to Bryce at: hatemail@otakugeneration.net, and he'll flip it to something amusing. Don't be nasty, or rude... this might not last as a segment idea, but we thought we'd give it a try.
OG "guess the character in the envelope" ContestBryce had a great idea for a contest... (make sure to get your guesses in before Thursday morning... before we head out for AnimeNEXT)
The cast has picked an anime character, wrote it down on a piece of paper, and sealed it up in an envelope. You the listener must figure out who the "character in the envelope" is...
For this first week we just made the announcement of the contest. The prize will be a pack of goodies, a Lisa Ray CD, a T-Shirt from J-List, and maybe something more *hint*hint*cough*...
So you ask what are the rules? Well they're pretty simple. First off, we will only accept one guess per email, once a week. If you put more than one guess, in an email, we will only take the first guess.
You cannot enter more then once an week, and not more then once per email. Please pay attention to the use of the word "character", it could be a person, animal, car, mech, bryce, paul, a tree, a rock (assuming they are portrayed as "character" some how), almost anything.
Each week will reveal a little more about the "character in the envelope" in an anime, until some one guesses it right, and wins.
As usual listen to the show for more details, and email your guesses to: otaku.generation@gmail.com, and use the subject line of: OG CHARACTER IN THE ENVELOPE CONTEST
