Jonny 5 here. Let me begin with an apology (I know, another one. Bare with me.) I am sorry to all of our listeners about the abrupt end of TokuUSA. Things happened within Otter's and my personal life that were beyond out control. It made recording difficult, and sometimes impossible. But that wasn't all that was going on. As you know, I did an episode with The Chief that took hours to edit because latency issues caused the audio I recorded not to sync up. Later, I would record an episode guest starring The Metal Coop that never aired. I feel awful that coop went through all of the trouble and dedicated time to the show that ended up being wasted because the editing required knowledge and patience that I simply did not have. Then, a tragedy happened, and it's name was Kyoryuger. I hated it, I couldn't stand to watch it and I didn't want to have watch it and talk about it every week because I don't like to complain. I don't like not to like something. I want to enjoy everything that life has to offer, but I did not enjoy Kyoryuger. Then, Otter approaches me about bringing back the show. I actually went through the hell of watching all of the series up to the release of Kamen Rider Gaim. I'm pretty sure I literally threw my hands up in the air and said "Fuck this Noise." And that was it.
BUT.
Recently, I've been wondering, could I bring back the show without the Toku? Tokusatsu tends to be either really good or really bad but I always enjoy watching anime. Also, we have a Data limit in my new household for cable (I'm serious. It's dumb.) So I can't download the toku anyways.
So I started thinking, maybe we could throw out the toku, and replace it with some of the current anime that I would still be watching even if I weren't doing the show. The show would keep the same format, I would still do all of the Otaku news you want to hear, the Otaku dream buy of the week, the recommended anime, and the reviews; only I wouldn't be reviewing toku, I'd be reviewing anime. Without the toku I can't call it TokuUSA so I was thinking of re-branding it OtakUSA. I'll even review shows that the listeners recommend (when they actually recommend them.)
The point of this poll is to see if our former listeners still have an interest in the show. So what I want to know, is do you want OtakUSA or Not? Would you rather it stay TokuUSA? I want to know. The poll closes August 31st. I'll be back to respond to the results in September, Jaa Mata.
