Here We AGO Again!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.hulu.com/watch/222242/americas-greatest-otaku-otaku-heat#s-p1-so-i0
The third episode of "America's Greatest Otaku" was broadcast over the Internet tonight.  The crew ended up in Phoenix, AZ and Albuquerque, NM.  (SN: Remember to check out the website for Lobo Anime & Comics in New Mexico!)  http://www.loboanime.com/
  I just have one question:  What do eating contests have to do with becoming "America's Greatest Otaku?"    One guy almost made himself sick gorging on noodles and ice cream (or it might've been yogurt!), while another overdid it on the pancakes!!!!!!!!!!  If you watch the show--click (or copy & paste) the link at the top of this post--you'll see what I mean!!!!!!!!!!  I can't wait to see what happens on next week's episode!!!!!!!!!

"AGO" is A Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not exactly anime, but it is anime-related, so it needs to be mentioned in this blog!!!!!!! The second episode of "America's Greatest Otaku" was broadcast over the Internet tonight. "America's Greatest Otaku," or "AGO," is a revealing documentary series that searches the United States for the number one American otaku. The term “otaku” refers to any uber-passionate fan of anime, manga, games, and Japanese pop culture for whom it is less of a hobby, and more of a lifestyle.  Todd Haberkorn, a voice actor whom I had the pleasure of meeting at one of the anime cons I attended, is one of the contenders.  Haberkorn is most widely known for his voice work in Hell Girl (as Ren Ichimoku), My Bride is a Mermaid (as Nagasumi Michishio), and xxxHolic (as Kimihiro Watanuki).  I am looking forward to next week's episode of  "America's Greatest Otaku!'"  I wonder if anyone else I recognize will show up!!!!!!!!!!!  The link for the series is:  http://www.hulu.com/watch/218497/americas-greatest-otaku-otaku-quest-revs-up?from=fb_share.  Episodes 1 & 2 are available to view now!
