Join us then, for part one of the inevitable descent into greater obscurity, for “Dai-Cast, The Final: Part 1″.

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 we give you actual education for your mental emolument. First off, it’s a little on the Japanese alphabet Katakana, used for “foreign” words, and good information for “Viking” seekers in Tokyo. Then it’s time to talk about the presidential primaries, with “Barack Obama” visiting Obama station, and how he could have got a Nintendo DS by riding JR. Then it’s an educational rathole into the terminology of Japanese schools. We also mention Magical Witches Love and Berry for some reason… Plus, we mention High School Girl brand meat products, then move on to Sega’s English of the Dead!

This week on Dai-Cast we have a guest host, in the form of a mysterious stranger! In reality, we just had issues with microphones, and decided to tweak the audio, as we didn’t want to leave you without a Dai-Cast this week. It’s barely listenable, but if you feel brave, soldier on! If you’re still here, you can hear us rant about robot suits for farming, real life Gundam Costs, Bags of Rice, Japanese Dialects, and Osakan Amphibious Taxis. Plus, the Japanese Government tells us that UFOs are real, and need to be shot down. And finally, a tribute to our favourite (not) childhood toy M.U.S.C.L.E. Men.

Hosts: The Mysterious Stranger, and Jason Hill, 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”.
