Ze Shows Anime Pulse

High-low! It's Andrew (just me) with a (mostly) solo episode of Anime Pulse. This week we got best original animes, a potential light at the end of the tunnel for one delayed show and some chunky cool new mechas. Then on the gatai segment Joseph goes to Isekai Fantasy school with a lovable Saint while Andrew makes the worst rental of his life (no refunds). P.s I also get pretty drunk by the end but I have edited out the long pauses for an improved experience...

We are like cardboard. Not because we are now made with up to thirty percent less material than previously. Because we are two flat sheets sandwiching corrugated paper. Also, we don’t stand up well in the rain. But that’s more because we’re from drier climes where water falling from the sky is of the devil unless it’s frozen. That’s a completely useless way of telling you that we have two manga again. Tim has a revisit of Kekkaishi. This time it’s an omnibus covering the first three volumes. A little recap is there are two families which banish evil spirits. They guard a magical place which happens to be underneath … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 498: Inside a Sandwich"

This week on VG Pulse, we have a surprise dragon once more! We start off with side notes of Kassy’s health and Millennium’s joyous journey into the land of finding cars in 2023!

After the news we go over the discord discussions, and close out with talk of food and anime! All … Continue reading "VG Pulse 394: Deer Hunter"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Florida hype, being teased by your super sexy maid, and the coolest sunglasses in anime. Up first in the IRL news Joseph took a nice long walk, and Andrew has had a bit of an emergency. Then in the industry news we only got one topic, as Joseph was feeling hungry and went with some food news about Burger King. And finally in a surprising Gattai episode, Joseph the hero attends an event to become the next demon lord all while his hot blond maid lifts her dress at him and Andrew (does not) get back into the giant robot.

We heard everyone has gotten excited by the prospect of a toy based movie. We’re not sure why that’s working this time when Ouija happened and no one cared. That was clearly the best possible children’s toy to adapt. Anything less will fall short. Either way, we’re just thrilled that people are once again talking about Life-Size[2000]. We know it’s not the movie you were thinking of when we said doll and movie. We still watched the Lindsey Lohan and Tyra Banks vehicle. Tyra Banks is an ersatz Barbie who’s collectible and done every job in the world. Magic brings her to life and she enters Lohan’s life. Oh and … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 202: Size of Life"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the best drop rates in anime, Japanese students really don't know English, and cleaning up the backlog.

What is a man? No, mister Dracul, not a miserable pile of secrets. No, Diogenes, put the plucked chicken away. Mister Hilfiger, you answer of “person who wears jeans in my ads” is acceptable but please elaborate on that. Everyone else, have your essay ready by Tuesday and enjoy the holiday weekend. Don’t forget to listen to our wonderful manga reviews. Tim has Megaman NT Warrior. A manga based on the GameBoy Advance Battle Network game. It follows the events of the game well enough that Tim recalls characters and events. With the opinion that the adaptation makes some sense as the game had a plot which was clear. And … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 497: Mega Hero"

This week on Anime Pulse we got upgraded PCs, discount anime Hogwarts, and being banned from McDonalds.

This week on Anime Pulse we got the fastest shipping in the West, the most overly complicated answers to the weekly topic, and a man who is so horny he tries to become a monk. Up first Joseph's IRL news is actually brief for once as he only mentions in passing of his failure to acquire his CPU but purchase of the new PC Case, and Andrew sets us up the bomb with a weekly topic that causes more harm than good. Then in the industry news it's a solo Andrew run with a new type of Sexuaility being founded, and a top ten list of the best anime with lots of PLOT. And finally in the previews we got Joseph giving up on the love of his life to become a monk at a nunnery, meanwhile Andrew attempts to solve a vampire murder mystery while checking off his bucket list during a zombie outbreak.

Open the curtains, you basement dwelling cretins. You to, you normal people who get plenty of exposure to natural light. Not you, people who make AI morphs of random Twitch streamer girls to suit your fetish. You can stay there and maybe check the batteries in your carbon monoxide alarm. Because there’s a chance you’re suffering from poisoning. For everyone else, take in plenty of Sunshine[2007]. It’s a science fiction movie staring Cillian Murphy and a whole lot of other names you know. It’s the future and the sun is cooling off. So there’s a second mission to the sun to drop a bomb into it to get it going … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 201: The Sun"

Twice now, you have come into our house and made requests. Neither of those times have you come bearing gifts. Not even something as small as a bag of chips. Do we not rate at least a pouch of Corn Nuts? Even the plain would be less of an affront. Though we would still prefer the Chili Picante. Oh, now we need to go take a look and see if they’ve brought back the pizza flavor. Anywho, I guess we have two reviews for you. Tim has Higehiro or After Being Rejected I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway. Yoshida is a salary man who does business things. … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 496: Teased and Rejected"

Two hundred episodes all about movies. That deserves somethings kind of special. Or, as they say in the land of surfing and wanna-be actors, special. So we decided to sit down and do what is considered one of the top films of all time. Kangaroo Jack. OK, no, we did The Godfather(1972). It’s got a laundry list of actors you know, some before they were big enough to become parodies of themselves. Brando putting in a legendary performance that looms over everyone. A stray cat, just being a stray cat in the hands of the titular Godfather. A horses head in the bed of a Hollywood producer. Something that should … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 200: Godfatha"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the first round of previews from the 2023 summer season, the top betrayals in anime, and Cloverworks pulling an EA. Up first Joseph continues his new PC built purchases and challenges himself in Inscryption, and Andrew has nothing to say so they skip straight to the show topic of the week. The in the industry news Andrew goes it alone when Joseph plays the Uno Reverse card, covering topics like how Spy x Family is not making enough for its studio and Japan's space agency likes Gundam space lesbians. And finally in the previews Joseph is reincarnated as a baby but grows up to work under a short stack, and Andrew attempts to avoid cutting anyone with his reverse blade except for demons who use curses.

Let’s see what we’ve got for another joke about twos. Hmm, perhaps something about wild deuces? That’s a sort of poker term, we think. Does that mean we’ve made the blind or the double blind? Well then, you’ve sunk my battleship. Prepare to go fish and go for all the marbles. Unless your hippos aren’t hungry enough to handle it. Tim has a revisit of Yankee Jk Kuzuhana-Chan. You might remember the plot about a lone male attending a vocational school. Which had just gone from being girls only to co-ed. And he is the only boy there. He is taken under the wing of the tall delinquent type girl … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 495: Yankee Dance"

This week on Anime Pulse we got PC upgrades ordained by the Gaming Gods, the women of Japan getting a big win in health care, and living the college dream at a scuba shop. Up first Joseph has had a tumultuous week full of things, and Andrew is looking for a roommate from the anime world. Then in the industry news, what's this? Only Joseph has something!? The world has truly gone mad! Well, at least women in Japan can buy morning after pills now without a prescription. And lastly in the final reviews show before the summer previews start Joseph delves potentially one last time into the depths of a dungeon to hit on girls, and Andrew goes back to college to attending a diving course full of drinking.

Imagine it’s the late eighties or early nineties and you’re a movie producer. That director with daddy issues that looks kinda like he’s in the cure just made a mint by adapting a little comic called Batman. You thought it couldn’t work because you remember Adam West and the wacky utility belt. But that dude made it work. So you scramble around looking for cheap rights to some of them comics the kids are clamoring for but you don’t want to spend all your coke money. So you pay pennies on the dollar for Tank Girl(1995). Tank Girl is about a future where a comet screwed up the weather and … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 199: Jet Girl is Hotter"
