I LOVED this thing and I would very much enjoy a copy, so if anyone can put me in touch with them or knows where I could get a copy of it, reply please.

Otakon 2002 Pocket Program Guide, Page 2 wrote:$$60,000,000,000 Funky Chicken
Made by Otaku's Revenge with footage from Cowboy Bebop and Trigun and a smattering of other stuff. A wanted man with a $60,000,000,000 price on his head, Vash the Stampede is having one lousy day: the down-on-their-luck crew of the Bebop are heading to planet Gunsmoke to collect on his bounty, and cannot be reasoned with. Of course, Spike Spiegel's having one lousy day himself: how can he claim the bounty if he can't even find Vash in the first place, much less catch him? Otaku's Revenge -- nifty slogan: "Too busy making videos to have a nifty slogan" -- are P.J. Simmers and Greg Genge, makers of the anime music video, Purple Eva Eater (2002). This is their first fan parody. If you want to get in touch with Otaku's Revenge you can write to P.J. Simmers at

Hey, while I'm at it, let's continue with the fan parody descriptions and contacts of stuff from Otakon this year. w00t.
Otakon 2002 Pocket Program Guide, Page 7 wrote:Evangelion: ReDeath
Studio Sokodie's anime fan parody was made using footage from Neon Genesis Evangelion (as if you couldn't guess). Giant robots loom over-head, mysterious conspiracies plot a murky future for humanity, and the answers to fundamental questions about the nature of mankind hang in the balance. Which is just too bad, because it's questions ranging from Shinji's clueless "What are melons?" and "Get some? Got some... what?" to Kaji's "A crowbar?! What does Misato have a crowbar under her bed for?" that really need to be answered. Fortunately, uber-pimp Gendo Ikari has all the answers, along with some bad-ass theme music. Evangelion: ReDeath was made on the group's Mac G3 and premiered at Fanime Con in 2000. The guys at Studio Sokodei are working on a remastered and expanded special edition: Evangelion: ReDeath Redux. Some of their other fan parodies are Jubei Powers: Japanese Man of Intercourse (1999) and Fanboy Bebop (2002). If you would like to contact Studio Sokodie, e-mail Andrew Hosking at

Oh, there's more.

Genki-web's anime fan parody, Hamstah Gangstaz is the first episode of the wholesome Japanese animated children's show Tottoko Hamutaro (which just started running on Cartoon Network as Hamtaro, re-edited, re-scored, and re-dubbed so that the cuddly little fuzzy critters are tough-talking gangsters, pimps, and crackheads. I kid you not. Hamstah Gangstaz makes its convention premiere at Otakon 2002. If you catch Hamstah Gangstaz at the con and want to tell the makers how much you liked it, you can write to Jack Nixon at
shad@genki-web.net.
Of course, there's one more.
Otakon 2002 Pocket Program Guide, Page 16 wrote:This is Otakudom
Not Not Digital Editing Films' anime fan parody This is Otakudom is what you might get if you blended the rock-band mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and the anime mockumentary "Otaku no Video" (Fan's Video). Made with footage from Fushigi Yuugi (and a lot of other shows), it relates the misadventures of anime fans going to a big anime convention (Otakon 2001, yay!) and the mysterious filmmaker documenting their experiences. It makes fun of anime cons, hentai-obsessed fans, vampire live-action role-playing, yaoi, video gaming, and all those little failings that make us human. Directed by Scott A Melzer (whose meticulously-crafted anime music videos have won several prizes at Otakon over the years) and taking over seven months to complete, the hysterical parody is the culmination of the ideas, art, writing, and voices of -- quite literally -- dozens of friends (including two of Otakon's own Staff). A work-in-progress version was first shown at ShoujoCon 2001 and the final cut was officially premiered at Otakon 2001. Since then, Scott has been taking the parody on the road to many anime cons, as well as sending tapes (all over the world) before the parody's return to Otakon, where Scott will most likely collapse from exhaustion.

It is at this point after all the typing that I would like to douse myself in gasoline and set myself on fire. Thank you.
