It just aired in the west.

English dubs are disgusting to me,

We dub watchers don't denigrate your precious Japanese seiyuu; would that you'd show us the same respect. You'd be surprised how much most Japanese seiyuu have in common with most U.S. voice actors besides the roles they play....

Oh, and that skit was okay.

Has Conan O'Brien Show ran out of ideas for their jokes? Or Anime has became mainstream all of sudden? I have a feeling that we're getting unwanted notice from mainstream thanks to 80's pop culture flashbacks.


I think it was a locational thing. They have up-played their move to the west coast a LOT since Conan moved to the Tonight Show. Bangzoom is there, so hey, why not? They also visited a lot of other, even more obscure places for the sake of a good laugh. One example being the hilariously sub-par wax museum.

Damn. I missed it and will have to catch it on Hulu. Right now only Thursday is up. I forget how long it takes for them to post. But I missed Thursday's with Zach Galifianakis.

Someone said it had boobs and pornish anime? Eh. Yay porn.

The only thing referring to anime that I've seen on Conan's show is on the skit "Peter Bernard, Recliner of Rage".
I assume this will be another one of those. So I'll watch since they're usually hilarious like his Robotech rant.

Plus, has he and his recliner been on the new show yet? He'd be a welcome site on the new show. Plus I can see him bitching about Manga messing up the Eva movies. He whines about obscure nerdy stuff like that... like I do... Sad

Don't forget the Conan Mk. II.

I nearly crapped myself when I first saw that on the show.

Triumph at an anime con would be golden. He could find some cosplayers.... FOR HIM TO POOP ON!

Funny, I was just watching Conan a few minutes ago, though not the episode with the skit. I kind of want to see this...

That was hilarious.

Everyone who talked, outside of Tony Oliver, didn't help clear the air that all anime fans aren't nerds; the guy with white hair REALLY didn't help with his Gooren Lagann and boring synopsis. The jiggling boobs and short skirts didn't help out much either.

It'd be funny if the sales for GiTS suddenly went through the roof.

Just stumbled on it last night; that was pretty funny!

...I like Tenjho Tenge, but the bobble-boobies might be a little much. o_O

But now whenever I see an anime that Manga entertainment worked on, I'll think.... MAAAAAAAAANGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Either that or feeding fish and bobble-jubblies...

Not that this will help get rid of stereotypes about anime and manga at all. But I have to admit that was pretty hilarious. Very Happy

I love the part when he was telling them about the serious plot of Ghost in the Shell and all they could think about was the short skirt and bobble thing (which were very disturbing I might add).

And also MANGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great skit, guess need to start watching the show again, loved Conan while was young and for all who diss on him, y'all can suck it. English Dub rules with an iron fist.

Am I the only one who noticed that this means they're probably dubbing GitS 2.0 now?
