Yippee! Chun-Li whups Demon Apron Dude and Bison and cheers with her trademark special Chun-Li delight.	The lengths that mecha fans go to! Steve points out, "now that is one badass tank" from a Metal Gear Solid skit complete with shooting howitzer.	Peace, my sisters and brothers! Another littlest member of the Card Captor Sakura family gives her peace sign for the evening.

A new twist on the Psychiatric Hotline with Madam Seska and her associate Suzanno debuts! Seska: "Do you have questions about your job? Questions about your love life? Well, too bad, Madam Seska needs a date, too." Susanno: "If you don't call us, your horrible fate is almost assured." Seska: "That's 1-800-Extort-U. Call now, we can wait, you can't."		Miyuki-chan in yet another wild Wonderland: Cosplay Kitties present an episode of "Survivor in the Falkand Islands" and the winner wins a "dirty fanboy".

Got soap? Complete with unwashed fanboy, characters deck the stage with song and dance and the great military cry of "We want you to smell fresh, too!"	It's about love and death and the glorious pocky! Characters from X reenact that famous and emotional battle from the X Movie, only this time with giant pocky sticks and dueling Iron Chef minions to see who will reign supreme.

Beware the anime crossover spring! Lupin and his band of wily cohorts encounter the Jyusenkyo hot springs where they fall upon the fate of turning into another loony anime character.	Characters from Houshin Engi find out that they have become characters stuck in a sick fan fiction that includes Riverdancing and scandalous love scenes with hippos. "Friends don't let friends write bad fan fiction!"	The pocky world revolution knows no boundaries. Yuna and Rikku from FFX beat up Aeris from FF8 with boxes of pocky. "Good food, better weapon!"
