Anime Pulse

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]....

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 h...

This week on Anime Pulse we got house-cats that take care of their humans, animators who had to keep living with their parents, and trying to sneak in a birthday gift. Up first Joseph rounds up his three games before talking about how he wants to surprises his old man, and Andrew is looking fashionable as heck with his latest weekly community topic. Then in the industry news we talks about some Ja...

This week on VG Pulse, oh deer oh deer! We start off with side notes of work and some unexpected physics lessons, before diving into the regular news where we talk about the Netherlands looking to ban loot boxes, Microsoft winning against the FTC over the Activision Blizzard Acquisition, and Twitch continuing to be professional bag-fumblers! After the news we head off into the reviews where Millen...

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. Br...

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 Rever...

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...

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.

The world has truly gone mad! Well, at leas...

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 k...

This week on VG Pulse, summer is in full swing! We start off with side notes of work work and more work, before diving into the reguar news where we discuss a big name streamer cutting ties with Twitch, the biggest announcements from this past Nintendo Direct, the unfortunate impact of real life tragedy on Iron Lung’s sales, and Among Us getting a tv show!! After the news we go over the disc...

This week on Anime Pulse we got another Eva movie, that One Piece movie trailer, and dinner from a Golf Course. Up first Joseph is suffering the heat the best he can, talking about his meal from Iron's Edge and Andrew doubles down on the heat with Hot Takes after giving some thoughts on Fire Emblem Engage. Then in the industry news the kid who more or less started the sushi terrorism trend receive...

Let’s see how many mangas do we have? Let us count them out. Slowly so we don’t lose our place. One manga. Ah, ha, ha, ha! Two, two, mangas? Ah, ha, bah, glargghhh! Drowning in irony jokes. Just one second. Kackkk! OK, I think I hacked it all up. Yes, we have two mangas as usual for your approval. Or not. We’re not your dad. Tim has World Piece, an OEL from Viz. Lucas is a basketball player and, m...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Team Rocket levels of crime, a one-sided Demon Slayer review, and questioning anime characters. Up first Joseph doesn't have much to say about his week for once and Andrew does a little better in his Street Fighter rankings, but the community section steals the show with a very small number of replies to an ask-me-anything themed interview with any character of your...

Oscar season has come and gone and left us with little to talk about. That’s because we don’t care about the awards because we’re not professionals. At least that’s our excuse. Still, one film dared us to talk about it with all the sappy reunion stories leaking like yogurt out of that hooker we paid in two thousand seven. We have Everything Everywhere All at Once[2022]. It’s a film featuring “mult...

This week on VG Pulse, we are hyped for space westerns!! We start off with side notes of work and life, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the Microsoft not-E3 not-press conference, Embracer Group being Embracer Group, Twitch fucking over its content creators once again, Powerwash Simulator continuing to be awesome, and a very talented dude with a Rubik’s Cube!

Then in the industry news we have a follow up to the Oshi no Ko suicide relation stor...

How many language can mangas come in? That depends on how you slice it. If you’re being a bit of a pedant and talking about the source, it’s probably Japanese only. Otherwise you’d call it by the local name like manhwa or manhua. If you’re talking about translations from the source, then however many languages you can translate into. Here we are, solving problems and answering questions. Tim has R...

This week on Anime Pulse we got sandy scallops, bad ass girls doing yuri things, and the Bay Area in San Francisco gets some new mascots. Up first Joseph did another long ass walk and ate a little too much habachi dinner, and Andrew wants to know what anime do not deserve to see the light of day again. Then in the industry news Shonen Sunday releases their results for top heroine, a bus drive arou...

With Weltall’s impending trip to the land of the rising sun which illuminates the tentacle porn, we figured a movie about Japan would be just right. It’s from the eighties if that helps and isn’t a comedy. It’s also not weekend at Bernie’s though that’s been requested over seven hundred times. We figure that’s an outlier from a rabid Terry Kiser fan. If you’re reading this, Gerald, we’ll get to it...

This week on Anime Pulse we got scrapped knees, adopting anime children, and a man made of chainsaws. Up first Joseph recounts the tail of how he ended up looking like he lost a fight with a bunch of rocks, and Andrew is curious to know what kids in anime you'd like to adopt if given the chance. Then in the industry news we have a final decision on what KyoAni plans to do with their old site after...

We’re just going to cut to the chase and say we have a couple of manga. Normally, we’d hem and haw a bit before getting to the point. Perhaps we’d even hee and haw a bit. Pour moonshine then get a little tipsy before following the point off a cliff. Oh my, there seems to be a Mason jar with a spirituous liquid nearby. Tim has a request in My Life as Inukai-san’s Dog. We start off with a dork...

This week on Anime Pulse we got arresting a Visual Novel YouTuber, disappointing meals, and our final previews for the Spring 2023 season.

This week on VG Pulse, we have a unexpected dragon drop in out of the clear blue yonder! We catch up with our scaly friend for awhile and then head on off to the news where we discuss Bungie bringing the legal hammer down on cheaters, the UK continuing to block the Microsoft/Activision deal, and our first look at the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie trailer!! After the news we go over the disco...

The journey into the æther is complete. We should have all the episodes accounted for.

We want to break things up with an adaptation from comics with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. We’d both seen the movie in the theaters and found it enjoyable. So when we heard a lot of the fans of the comics were annoyed by the depiction, we added it to our list. Britain needs to assemble a nineteenth century collection of superheroes drawn from public domain fiction. We agree that the comics...
