Flame of the Week by Bryce :: (hatemail@otakugeneration.net)Nothing to be "flipped this week"... 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...

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...

This week we didn't give an clues for the contest. Not enough of your lazy bums, responded. The prize will be a pack of goodies, a Lisa Ray CD, 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

Again, not enough you lazy bums responded... we're going to insist at least 10 people give their guesses, before we give another clue. We don't mean 10 total, we mean 10 guesses within 1 weeks time. So send your guess in now! There's way more then 10 of you out there downloading, so email-us! It's worth unique prizes from us!
