Once again, it's been a little while since our last media spotlight, so we created a big double-feature to make up for it! We have screenshots. We have song samples. We have, like always, wallpapers from Nukunuku. And this time, we even have video!

The first feature covers a couple topics that are dear to our hearts: mockery and self-deprecation! RPGuy takes us on a frightening journey through the real acts of anime fandom in his coverage of Otaku Unite!: a documentary on what happens when you're struck by lightning in that critical social development phase of life. Whether it's an addiction to cosplay, maintaining a list of talking points for the great subs vs. dubs debates, or starting an anime-themed website, ...scratch that last one... this video debunks the notion that you might want a freak over your girlfriend. Mainstream music is full of lies; I swear.

Our second feature, courtesy of mine self, is a journey through the prolific career of light rock/pop band the Indigo, who are gearing up to release their twelfth album (seventh original studio album) this November. the Indigo have made contributions to Ai yori Aoshi and Someday's Dreamers, and they have an album available in the states (the Indigo Suite), but these things are but a tip of the iceberg. This is your chance to join the choir of true believers, especially you poor souls that missed the performances in Baltimore and Anaheim, due to that crying-game experience with a costumed cat-"girl" that you'd rather not talk about.

Now, without further delay (a year is enough!) we leave you to enjoy this round of media!
