Otaku 5-0 Season 2: Episode 10

Aloha everybody!

Now that we have (partially) recovered from the life-draining experience that was Kawaii-kon 2009, we have returned to our regularly scheduled programming.

As promised, I am placed on "the hot seat/stool" for the 2nd installment of The Gauntlet. As with the previous installment, we have included (in the "Show Notes" section) the actual questions that I was asked, in order. (Of course, you are more than welcome to post your own answers as well.)

Additionally, during the latest round of technical edits, I took out the download link for the Laura Bailey interview. This has been rectified, and you may now download that segment and keep it for your own enjoyment.

Mahalo,
Totoro (Executive Producer)

Y'Know, the Empire did one thing wrong throughout all of Star Wars...


They failed to read the evil overlord's handbook for taking over the universe: Never Put Holes in your Superweapons! Someone or something will always climb in and destroy it!

As another answer, you remind me of Benkei Musashibou from New Getter Robo. If you don't know who that is, you should watch this show; it's pretty awesome and crazy!

A. What is your favorite... Disney movie?
Hmmm... the Goofy Movie. It reminds me of my teenage life I guess haha

B. When you were growing up, what was the one character that made you aspire to be something more than what you were, and is that character that influenced you back then the same today?
I'd have to say Son Goku. Makes me want to strive to be better than I am. And no he's not the same as today.

C. Disney or Pixar - Which do you prefer?
Pixar :)

D. What is your definition of the word, "love"?
Something you can't truly hate. As obvious as that sounds, it's just because like you do something you love and you can't really hate it because you just... can't.

E. Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings - Which is a better epic story? Ummm... I've never read the books (I'm sorry) but for me it's Star Wars.

F. Name three things that you hold dear in your life.
I don't know... I'll get back to you on that.

G. Star Wars: Rebellion or Galactic Empire?
Galatic Empire. I don't want to mess with Darth Vader

H. Describe yourself in haiku.
Dorky Nerdy Punk
Running to new heights I am...
kekumanshoyu :D

hahah I suck at haikus...

I. Movie Genres: Sci-Fi (i.e. Blade Runner) or Fantasy (i.e. Spirited Away)?
Fantasy

I already said which anime character I am.
Anyways that was a pretty short episode but I enjoyed it. I found out a lot of things that I didn't know about you Totoro. Lots of nerdy references that I can relate to haha.

I hope to sit in on another recording again :)
