Ze Shows Anime Pulse

This week on Anime Pulse we got horny islands, painful walks, and fighting games. Up first Joseph recounts his journey on Friday of walking 16 miles, and Andrew is still on that fighting game grind after a rank reset. Then in the industry news we have none, don't worry though Andrew will talk about something later on. And finally round four of previews has Joseph escaping from horny women so he can solo camp and make dishes using math, while Andrew rolls some rocks at some pins in the city.

Another manga show, so another pair of manga and a pair of ratings. Just another day in paradise where the manga is always ready to be smacked down or uplifted. You would be wrong though and gloriously so. We actually have three manga today though one dovetails right into the other. Like a box joint of mixed metaphors. Tim has a request in Dragonball. Yes, the manga the really made Akira Toriyama the name he was and this is an omnibus of the first three volumes. If you’ve ever watched the original anime then you’ve seen this origin story. Bulma is hunting dragon balls with her detector and runs, literally, … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 540: Betrayed Balls"

This week on VG Pulse, a lot of things blew up all at once! We start off with side notes of how miserable this summer is, before diving into the multiple fallouts of the last week! Including but not limited to, Ironmouse pulling the pin on the VShojo grenade and igniting a VTuber revolt, Visa and Mastercard pushing for hardcore censorship of media, and multiple platforms trying to force people to hand over their ID and/or face in order to use the internet! After the news we finish off with talk of food and anime! All this and more up next on VGP 421!! Music Intro – Persona 4 reach … Continue reading "VG Pulse 421: Won’t someone please think of the children!!!"

This week on Anime Pulse we got round three of summer previews, another end of a vtubing era, and flat tires. Up first Joseph recounts his time driving home on a flat tire, and Andrew reached High Master. Then in the industry news Vshojo shuts down with plenty of drama, and VISA gets told down by Japan to quit throwing around its weight. And finally the previews get Joseph reincarnated into a land of trash as a water magician who brings the Apocalypse, and Andrew goes swimming in a game center wearing nothing but stockings with a garterbelt.

We have bad news for you, bank teller person. The robbery is coming from inside the bank! Of course robberies usually happen inside a bank if they are bank robberies. Ones conducted outside of them are can be classified as cash in transit heists if the thieves are stealing from the vehicle itself. Important notes if you’re planning on being listed on the FBI’s list of most wanted bank robbers. That way you can say you were on the scoreboard when you’re in federal prison. In that vein Weltall has Inside Man[2006]. The Clive Owen and Denzel Washington movie directed by Spike Lee about a bank heist. Only it’s not … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 246: Want Inside"

It’s hot in Topeka so we recommend that you stay hydrated. Also don’t forget to grab a string cheese on the way out. We bought them in bulk and don’t want to see them expire. Hell, take two and have one for later. We also have the knock off bag juice products. Capone Solar really isn’t that bad if you don’t mind the taste of old orange and pickle juice. Tim has Dazzle. Which is a Tokyo Pop product and boy does it bring back memories. A girl gets kicked out of her house and immediately teams up with the male protagonist. He’s silver haired, broody, and has the weird … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 539: Dark Dazzler"

This week on Anime Pulse we got round two of previews, nuclear radiation, and sports. Up first Joseph talks about his father's birthday, and Andrew is back on that Street Fighter grind. Then in the industry news an alarm clock designed to give you an excuse to be late. And finally another round of previews with Joseph being kicked from his party twice just to be targeted for assassination, and Andrew has to deal with three sisters while his fragrant flower is about to collapse.

This week on Anime Pulse we got a return to previews, a return of Andrew, and a very empty community topic. Up first Joseph finds out his unboxing stream won't be until late August, and Andrew regales us with his trip to Switzerland and it's really tiny meals. Then in the industry news Netflix gloats about being used mostly for anime. And finally the summer previews round things out with Joseph kissing drunk women as a reborn vending machine after killing the demon lord, and Andrew runs away from cats who killed his friend for their original sin.

Punch, kick, it’s all in the mind. Or that’s what weirdos will tell you. Then you strike them in the face and ask them if that was simply a personal construct or not. Of course they will go call the cops which is the adult version of tattling. Which is really the only reason nihilists and solopsists get away with being smug jerks in a civilized society. Let us bring that around to Chuck Norris. We have Hero and the Terror(1988). A Chuck Norris Canon film. Which means you might be thinking about explosions and wall to wall gunfights. It’s actually about a mute killer that Chuck catches in the … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 245: Hero Cat"

This week on VG Pulse, we’re in flash news central! We start off with side notes about how hot and muggy it is here, before melting our way into the regular news, where we discuss World of Tanks continuing to be awful, more countries waking up to the various monopoles in the gaming sphere, and Gamestop turning their stapled Switch 2 situation into an amazing charity opportunity! After the news we go over the discord discussions and give a long overdue review of Pacific Drive, and finish off with talk of food and Expedition 33!! All this and more up next on VGP 420!! -Aki Music Intro – Dwarf Fortress … Continue reading "VG Pulse 420: Welcome to the Party"

Who the hell posts descriptions for this show at six PM? Off in the distance you might faintly hear us. Oh boy, six PM, time for another show description! Then the sounds of a comically large wooden mallet crushing an alarm clock. Not because that’s the only way to silence it but because big alarm clock has convinced us that they are disposable. Tim has Radiant. There are evil creatures randomly falling from the sky. Also the world is something of floating islands in amongst the clouds. Not only are these creatures dangerous but merely touching them infects and kills most people. Those that don’t become “wizards” and have a … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 538: Radiant Cunt"

This week on Anime Pulse we got some good bloody food, edge lords, and isekai contests. Up first the IRL news has Joseph excited for his upcoming 4 day work week, aka a 3 day weekend, and Andrew is back from his time away to ask us about the anime that give us those vacation vibes. Then in the industry news an upcoming ecchi anime is going to have varying levels of censorship, and KADOKAWA wants you to tell them your isekai stories. And finally in the reviews Joseph shows us how he evolved from an edge lord to a harem protagonist, and Andrew gets back on that cute anime horse girl.

Let’s look over the stack of papers on our desk. Doesn’t seem anyone has died too recently but everyone is talking about scary weather. So it must be summer and that puts us right in the mood to talk about frightening beaches where people die suddenly. No, we’re not talking about sharks or any famous movies featuring them. We have The Fog(1980). Yes, on the heels of making an iconic slasher film, John Carpenter got license to make a movie about ghost pirates. Naturally they called it the fog because that’s what the ghost pirates send in ahead. Which makes a lot of scenes in this movie like an angry … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 244: Accounting Fog"

You might find leprechauns ridiculous and unbelievable. Little gnomish folk with magical powers that hide gold at the end of rainbows? Dismissed with prejudice, you would say. Just as you might dismiss that we would do another manga episode. Yet here we are, in all our glory. So if we can come through, who is to say, truly, that you will never see a lookalike that could hawk you a sugary cereal product in person? You won’t but as a wise bard once sang, don’t stop believing. Tim has Can’t Stop Cursing You. There’s a bunch of curse gods and they like to make deals with mortals. One unnamed curse … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 537: Titsa Cursin"

This week on VG Pulse, get ready to talk about Not-E3 and all its Not-E3…uhh…glory? We start off with side notes of work and muggy weather, before heading into the main news where we discuss all the interesting things shown at all the various chunks of Not-E3! We also discuss the many continued failings of Nintendo, such as fresh joycon drift and many canceled preorders! Meanwhile Blumhouse is making a Phasmophobia movie and the indie space continuing to dominate the market! We finish off with talk of food! All this and more up next on VGP 419!! -Aki Music Intro – Atom Bomb Baby by The Five Stars Outro – … Continue reading "VG Pulse 419: Not E3 Trailerization"

You might not think that we ever get stuck for movies to pick for the show. What with Hollywood alone having been making films for over a century. Giving us a library of media you probably couldn’t watch in your lifetime without sacrificing your personal life and a significant portion of sleep. But that does happen and then we hear about an actor’s passing and it reminds us of their work. We have Walking Tall(1973). The late and sort of great Joe Don Baker stars in this somewhat autobiographical film based on the real life Buford Pusser. In the film, Buford comes back to his hometown after a wrestling career … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 243: Walking Time"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Aku Joseph, unsolved mysteries, and ten full miles. Up first Joseph hits his goal of a ten mile walk by visiting a cemetery named after his patron saint, and Andrew puts in his PTO for next week. Then in the industry news Crunchyroll makes one of the most idiotic polls ever. Finally in the reviews Joseph unseals a horrible version of himself to talk about why it is a bad idea to try and pickup girls in a dungeon, and Andrew joins the mafia to kill family in a town called Lawless.

This week on Anime Pulse we got bad new for criminally minded foreigners, CyberDemon 2099, and blinding bangs. Up first Joseph provides a couple updates to the unboxing stream and the giveaway prizes, and Andrew wants to know who your favorite characters with hidden eyes are. Then in the industry news Japan is so tired of the arresting foreigners they don't event want to known what they're saying anymore, and a creator of Dandadan fights the evil encroaching grasp of AI. Finally in the reviews Joseph awakens 74 years from now to find he's weak, alone, and jobless, and Andrew goes to the school gym just so he can be close to this really cute girl he saw.

Prepare for stubble, shave in your bubble. Take a walk along the rubble. Uh, I think we’re out of rhyming words for the moment. And we’re not going to run to some generative LLM for help. So you’re stuck with this free form nonsense we cobbled together for the intro of this description. Enjoy it for the artisan goodness or badness as it were. Just know a real, dumb, human made it by punching a keyboard. Tim has a request in Hollow Grimoire. It’s an OEL about Hakem, a middle child, of a sorcerer family. He’s trying to prove himself and also avenge or maybe resurrect his dead mother. He … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 536: Desert Grimoire"

Either we’re buying in bulk or we have a coupon. Because once again we have another twofer. Perhaps it’s time to open a bulk review store where you can roll around. It might do gangbusters if we offer hotdogs and soda for a competitive price. Perhaps something like a dollar thirty five to undercut someone else. So if you find us dead, a certain CEO is responsible for it. First up is the movie everyone was talking about because of a recent papal passing, Conclave[2024]. It stars Ralph Finnes as a cardinal who’s appointed to oversee the conclave, which is the process of selection of the new pope. When all … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 242: The Confession"
