This week on Dai-Cast, we’re full of anger once again, and you know what that means!  We’re talking about copyright.  Specially this time, it’s Cruncyroll.com getting $4.05 million in venture capital funding.  Related, we get into an interview with a Fansubber, and the 4 major ISPs in Japan banning torrent users.  And finally, we delve into the dark world of child pornography, and how Unicef wants to ban it in Japan.  All this, and not much more, on this weeks Dai-Cast.

This week on Dai-Cast, it’s a surprise!  But seriously (Are we ever?) we discuss the recent trend of Butler Cafes catering to young women in Shibuya, new Korean space kimchi, Toshiba robot phones, an HD-DVD exchange program, and the greatest thing Japan will ever produce: Smoke on the Water.  All this, along with our usual derailments and ratholes for your listening “pleasure”.

Hosts: Ian Horner, Jason Hill, and Eryn Dearden, with Special Guest Courtney Hawkeye, and Brendan Dery as “Beej”.

This week, we’re back with the bare minimum needed for the cast, trading Jason for the double X that is Eryn Derden. We’ve roped her in to talk about learning English from Cosplayers with Cosplish, then it’s on with the Rape Whistles! Plus, cosplayers invade Osaka’s airports, and you too can now racially (?) profile otaku! All this plus Beej’s final “Webcomic of the Week” on Dai-Cast.

Hosts: Ian Horner, and Eryn Dearden, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.

And after a long holiday break, we’re back, with our usual disjointed mix of topics on Japanese popular culture from a western perspective.  This week, we take on the top 10 Ways Foreigners Perceive the Japanese, and the new trend of Otaku Hunting by the Police (ed. not including Sting).  Then, we examine the non-news of the end of Newtype Japan, and we discover MAD videos for the first time (ed. not featuring Alfred E. Newman).  All this, plus Beej’s patented Webcomic of the Week on this week’s Dai-Cast!

Hosts: Ian Horner, Eryn Dearden, and Jason Hill, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.

On this weeks show, we start out with a ridiculous discussion of Legend of Galactic Heroes bootleg DVDs, pronunciation of ridiculous, slashdot commentary, and the rules of Dai-Cast. Then we move onto real topics, starting with the examination of the link between the lost Jewish Tribes of Israel and Japan. Then we look into claims of genocide on the part of Emperor Akihito, for introducing a foreign species of fish into Lake Biwa. And we critique an American artists take on Cosplay culture, and a new Cosplayers Rights Group in Japan. NHK decides to tell us what they really want to show us through a Weather Report. Love Letters from the Police (without Sting) are calming down teens in Iwate Prefecture. And finally a story from 1968 of how to get yourself out of trouble, by TELLING THE TRUTH.

Hosts: Ian Horner, Eryn Dearden, and Jason Hill, with Brendan Dery as “Beej”.
