Exactly.

And, and to, to Silas's point about the I hate those recap episodes, one of the most recent ones that we did have that did that well was, uh, uh, Gals Can't Be Friends, or Can't Be Nice to Otaku.

All right, let's...

So.

And, uh, Otaku, your news is not what I was expecting you to talk about, but I'm still happy to see it.

Well, the past couple of news breaks I've done, or news of the week, has been obituaries, so I wanted to at least give something a little more cheerful because I am a Slime fan, unapologetically.

You can say what you want about the seasons of sitting around tables and discussing politics.

Jazz Keys is an otaku book.

So o- otaku, just for, as a definition, is that anyone who's obsessed with a particular thing that is a collectible? Is that otaku culture?

Fine.

Um, but that's a pejorative.

I'm your host, Salyamaki.

今週もよろしくお願いします。 We've got mail! Yay! ハンドルネームうえしさんからいただきました。 ありがとうございます。 サリーちゃん、こんにちは。 この番組、アニメイングリッシュクラブwith Salyamakiが始まってから、 はや1年と半分が経とうとしていますね。 そうなんだ。 さて最後にリクエスタです。 この番組メッセージを書く際に毎回リスナーの名前とか欲しいなと思っていたのですが、 よかったら決めてみませんか? たとえば、アニメのオタクと英語のラーナーズをくっつけて、オタクレーナーズ、略してオタラーやサリー先生の生徒という意味で、サリースチューデンス、日本語でサリーセーなど、愛着が湧いて番組ファンが増えること間違いなしです。ご検討よろしくお願いします。 リスナー名、リスナーネームズ I feel like, do we have this culture in America? I don't know.

I don't know if we have listener name cultures in radios overseas.

This is a very popular... thing to do in japanese radios a lot of the time they have listener names or just fan names um they choose fan names for instance i have another radio show called uh i'm exciting and then the listeners for that are called like they have like a specific name but you're right we do not have one for this for this program should we make it Should we make it? Should we do that? Like, are we, do we have that kind of relationship? そういう中ですかね? 私たちって。 What do you think? I don't know.
