Anime Pulse

This week on Anime Pulse we got wasp swarms, hacking ghosts, and no community!? Up first IRL news sees Andrew back in London but not before going on the run of a lifetime, and Joseph found himself on the receiving end of a buzzing menace. Then in the industry news, there is none! And without any community segment, because Andrew got a bit sidetracked with IRL life things, that means the final prev...

Let’s hop into the Tardis and take you back to a simpler time. Hold up your sporks and prepare to ship Sherlock with the Onceler. Do you remember when Johnny Depp was basically just Jack Sparrow in every damn movie? Let us remind you with Mortdecai[2015]. Depp plays the titular lord Mordecai. He’s English and he has a bad mustache. That’s a whole recurring joke they drive into the ground faster th...

This week on Anime Pulse we got painful thighs, revenge, and alternate realities. Up first IRL with Andrew has him back in his homeland seeing family, and Joseph took his first bike ride in 20 years. Then in the industry news a big studio hit below the profit goal. Finally another round of previews to see us out with Joseph dying as a corporate slave tomb raider and reincarnating as a rearguard wh...

It’s been hot folks. The depths of summer have arrived along with the heat. We’re living through some wonderful triple digits for those of us that use freedom units. The rest of the world can just be wrong and measure weather with an imprecise system made up by, gag, the French. You’d think that alone would be enough to convince the rest of the world to abandon it. Also, we still have manga review...

This week on Anime Pulse we got old men in various shapes, Wingstop, and community submitted anime characters. Up first Andrew is just doing the usual to get back in shape, and Joseph visited a new chain restaurant. Then in the industry news, does anyone care that Akira is being rereleased on big film? And more previews for the summer as Joseph defeats the demon lord only to find out he's been for...

This week on VG Pulse, things get extra spicy! We start out with side notes of rocks, before diving into the regular news where we discuss Sony’s amazing series of L maneuvers over the last few weeks and the ongoing fallout, Xbox thinking of following in Sony’s L path, and the ESA making some wild claims in their fight against SKG!! After the news we go over the discord discussions, an...

It’s movie time for the Popcorn gentlemen. Which normally means a three-fer of a review. We like to shake it up every once in awhile and do two dual reviews. It doesn’t take us any less work but then you get less reviews. Or maybe you get better analysis because we’ve both focused on the two films. Rather than simply reacting to what the other remembers, infallibly, about their individual watch. F...

This week on Anime Pulse we got a return with previews, a return with no news, and a return with stuff. I dunno, does anyone even read these? Anyways, up first IRL news with Joseph having done a whole lot of nothing the past week and Andrew touches on his trip. No industry news this week because the website tried to charge Andrew a subscription, so community it is with displacement theory. Lastly...

Bada bing, bada boo, we got a manga show for you. Yes, we could have said bada boom. It wouldn’t have had the same impact. Rhyming is paramount and what we were aiming for, after all. Not that it rhymed very well or anything. Look, we just have to get something down and desperation makes for a pushy mistress as the deadline looms. Either way, we still have a pair of manga. First up is Tim with Mon...

Hey guys, remember random monkey things? Like monkey pirate ninjas? Well what if they were carriers of a super infections disease that ate your face and turned you into a puddle of goo within two days? We sort of have that going on with today’s movie, Outbreak(1995). It’s about a disease that crops up in Africa in the sixties. It’s carried by capuchins because then they’re not quite as horrifying...

This week on Anime Pulse we got sunburn, abrupt endings, and bland isekai. Up first in the IRL news Andrew is feeling a bit under the weather, and Joseph suffered three ways while doing yard work. Then in the industry news the Japanese government is centralizing anime. Lastly another round of reviews see Joseph gathering up the scraps of adventure in an isekai, and Andrew revvs a chainsaw while ri...

This week on VG Pulse, Aki is extra ‘splody among all the Not-E3 madness!! We start off with sidenotes of why Aki ‘sploded last week, before diving into the regular news where we discuss GTA6’s price reveal, Steam’s new computer, and then we go over our thoughts and reactions to the various Not-E3 shows from this year!! We continue on with a discussion about the age of a fi...

Welcome to our fishery. Old Two Cut Tuna. Named because we always take two slices out for ourselves. It’s a tradition we started since we did manga reviews. At least that’s what we’d like to be called if we did guided fishing tours. Having seen the cost of boats and fuel, we’ll stick to manga reviews. With that, we have two like we often do. First up is Tim with XoGenasys. It’s the future and Dari...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Discord bans, Seven Deadly Golfers, and how to torture the podcast hosts. Up first IRL news has Andrew back from his brief trip, and Joseph has begun his lawn mowing Unc arc. Then in the industry news, Hololive will be returning to the baseball field. Finally the reviews come fast with Joseph waking up with boobs, OP powers, and terribly obvious villains. Andrew how...

Open the hatch. Seriously, it’s damp down here at the bottom of the ocean and a bit cold. Plus we just saw bits of the Titan sub go floating by. We don’t want to have to wade through anymore of the compressed people bits than may exist already. The cleverer of you may have sussed out that the oceanic intro signals a water based movie. Which brings us to a Norwiegian film, Kraken[2026]. The plot is...

Things are better in twos. Four wheels good? Two wheels better. Four legs good? Two legs better. That’s why our reviews come in pairs. At least for the manga. The movies are a whole other ball game inside a kettle of fish. Are we mixing metaphors and aphorisms? You betcha, because that’s two and two is better. First up is Tim with a webtoon, The Player Hides His Past. The premise is there was a po...

This week on Anime Pulse we got careless heroes, remakes, and disappointing burgers. Up first IRL news with Andrew punishing an Ingrid player who counted their chicken before they hatched, and Joseph went to a place called Herbie's Burgers for a very sad mouthful experience. Then in the industry news there is no industry news! Lastly the reviews close things out as Joseph becomes a very bored Goku...

Welcome back to Manga review racing. Where we track the fastest manga reviewers. As this is the off season they’re going to talk about movies. Turning around we have something about pilots, planes, and a scowling Clint Eastwood. That’s right, a movie you’ve never heard of, Firefox(1982). Clint Eastwood is a retired pilot who fought in Vietnam. The US Government wants to drag him back in because th...

This week on Anime Pulse we got mountain climbing, low calorie hentai, and the best holiday episode in anime. Up first IRL news rolls in with Andrew dodging smurfing Ingrid players, and Joseph had the saltiest fried dough on Earth. Then in the industry news the mangaka of Gachiakuta deleted their X account. And finally the reviews close us out with Joseph attempting to shut down Japan’s bree...

Af...

Two is better than one, at least when it comes to coatings. You need a nice solid clear coat to protect your paint. And to keep that nice and safe, you should apply a nice sacrificial coating like wax. Our manga reviews are like that wax, our sacrifice for your entertainment. Going so far as to take on manga that’s requested as well. First up is Tim with a request in Red River. It’s a nineties man...

This week on Anime Pulse we got jail breaks, dull apocalypses, and horrible combat. Up first IRL news with Andrew slam jamming his opponents in Street Fighter as Ken, and Joseph slogged his way through Lust Planet to play a better game about killing aliens. Then in the industry news a bell rung for peace is silenced for peaceful reasons, and apparently isekai is bad for the industry. Lastly the re...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Santas, xeno scum, and golden ball hunting. Up first Andrew is pushing himself to go even further beyond, and Joseph wrapped up his time playing Rebel Galaxy. Then in the industry news there is nothing! So we talk Christmas instead. Lastly a rare fusion review! Joseph and Andrew link forces to watch a dorky guy and a genki girl interlock fingers, fight mongolian dea...

This week on Anime Pulse we got ageless magicians, the best goth baddies, and raises. Up first is the IRL news where Andrew returned to being the 2nd best M. Bison player in his region, and Joseph took a leap of faith and asked his boss for a raise. (sort of ) Then in the industry news the crunchiest roll becomes a little crunchier. And finally a rare gattai show has things see us out with Joseph...
