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”.
