Some fantastic person has uploaded the episodes of America’s greatest Otaku to the Internet Archive.

This reality show was what Stu Levy did as an attempt to pivot Tokyopop from print to a “manga-lifestyle entertainment” company. It was filmed in 2010, aired in 2011, shortly before Levy, company founder, shut down the publishing side of the company.

The publisher has because returned, albeit with plenty of people side-eyeing them. Anyway, delight in a little slice of time capsule stupidity.
