On the show, we receive new spam for the site in Japanese, examine the idea of Cat Cafe’s and Rental Girl’s Bedrooms in Akihabara.

Beej’s Anime of the Indeterminate Time Period - Rosario + Vampire
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”.

Topics Covered This Week:
Beej’s Webcomic of the Week - The Rack
This week, on Dai-Cast it’s “Dai Cast Zeta”, where we pick one particular topic on Japan or Japanese pop culture, and stick with it, exhaustively expressing our opinions for your education, elucidation, emancipation, and mental emolument, to summarily beat it into the ground, so that we never need to revisit the topic again.
This time around we go into the new immigration practice in Japan of fingerprinting and photographing all foreigners upon entry to the country. We go into what this means to you, and your civil liberties, and then launch off in all directions of personal freedom, security and surveillance.
So sit back, and prepare to be educated at!
Hosts: Ian Horner, and Brendan Dery as “Beej”, with special guest Carol Haggerty.
