Anime Pulse

If you’ve had a subscription streaming service you’ve probably been advertised an original movie or two. And if you’ve been remotely curious, or drunk enough, you’ve tried watching one of these. Especially if the social media hype has gotten to you. Then you watched it and promptly forgot about it. Which is how Tim and Weltall became probably the last two people in the world to bother watching a N...

This week on Anime Pulse we got a Japanese mayor who moonlights as the Punisher, a RomCom that doesn't cause massive cases of cringe, and anime that inspired us to become more than we were. Up first Joseph has been putting up with cats, organizing shelves, and running a monster girl brothel. Meanwhile Andrew hasn't been doing much, so we skip right into the community stuff to talk about biscuit ha...

It’s been convention time around here. That means plenty of overpriced snacks from the land of the rising sun. Oddball panels and events. Wide range of cosplay from off the rack to professional grade. It also means manga grab bags are up for sale. And at the end of the con, they’re at their cheapest and prime for review material. Tim has Heavenly Executioner Chiwoo. Chiwoo is a little ruffian. A s...

This week on Anime Pulse we got dishonorable gangs, cat sitting, and a loli running an entire Inn. Up first Joseph's OCD is in full swing as he is cleaning out the entire kitchen while babysitting some cats, and Andrew asks another complicated question that doesn't see much participation. Then in the industry news Sailor Moon wants you to eat her sausage, the new Beach series gets a premier date,...

Tickets! Get your tickets ready! We’re on a triple stop trip through Locoville, Madness Junction, and Crazytown. No matter where you’re going, we’re sure you have baggage so please make sure that’s stowed. Baggage may also be passed on to relatives or small children. There will be no drinks or snacks served and the dining car is closed. Take your meds and strap in. We’ve got Bullet Train[2022] wit...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Japan trying to get rid of antiquated technology, Lupin the III in 2022, and the anime that personify you. Up first Joseph is trying a new thing called "buying his dinners at the grocery store", and Andrew's arms are wicked tired after flying back into London. Then in the industry news Japan wants more foreign students, cute girls doing war crime things, and we get...

We don’t have a lot of thoughts in the head today. It’s probably all those fumes from trying to strike oil out in the field so we don’t have to work anymore. That or it was getting beer bottles thrown at our head from digging in some random field looking for oil. Turns out property owners don’t care for trespassers. At least we’ll always have out manga. Tim has The Knight of Embers. There’s some g...

A special presentation brought to you by Tim and Weltall. We talk about the bad at Nan Desu Kan 2022. Not because we hate it, but because we don’t.

This week on Anime Pulse we got the return of Joseph, the end of a Tokyo Icon, and sexy dark elves. Up first Joseph recaps his trip to Florida and subsequent summer cold, and Andrew would like to know what anime protagonists we feel for. Then in the industry news a One Piece film makes a lot of yen, and Project G is announced for excited mecha fans everywhere. Lastly we have a special Gattai episo...

This week on VG Pulse, it’s almost vacation time! We start off with side notes about going to our local farm fair, and Millennium shares some exciting news about something he’s been working on for awhile!! Afterwards we dive into the news where we discuss everything that was announced at Gamescom, news about the upcoming Splatoon 3, Sony and Tencent acquiring way too many stocks of Fro...

Was the seventies a disaster? We like to think so. Carter was in office. Oil Embargos were happening. Nuclear power plants were being protested. Disco was on the rise. Hollywood must have assumed it was the end times and found a love of the disaster film. So we grabbed a few for the show. We kick it off with a large block buster affair. The Towering Inferno(1974). A brand new skyscraper in downtow...

Hey there Anime Pulse listeners, it is I, Andrew! Usurping the throne that is the Anime Pulse host for the week I have also summoned a heero from the community to serve as a guest. We start of with some introductions from Heero also going by Matthew as he talks about his anime experience and what he’s been up to lately. For the industry news Matthew covers developments for anime live events,...

Coming to you straight from the home of the Keebler elves. No, not wherever some factory that Nabisco claims to own. We’re doing this now from a tree in the middle of the woods. Around us lay the corpses of those that dared so stand in the way of our hunger for grasshopper cookies. The rest are hiding out in the back, cranking on the cookie machine. Which means we’re here and, like the only proper...

Well, the patron saint of our show finally did a movie that was meta. So naturally we had to do it. Nicolas Cage in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent[2022]. Cage plays Cage, an actor who was better respected once and needs work. Which leads him to taking a gig doing a birthday engagement for a wealthy man who is a cartel leader. Pedro Pascal plays the head of the cartel who also happens to b...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Not-Sagiri, Shinto Shrines exploding, and a lack of IRL news. Up first Joseph has nothing to say beyond he's ready for Florida, and Andrew is jumping the shark in this week's community segment. Then in the industry news we learn that COVID has turned ravenous otaku into model citizens, Kirby had an anime, and Bleach's latest arc is rumored to be available only on Th...

Up first Joseph has two new UK foods he's tried, and Andrew is ready to assign us our own Gojo-kun to get our cosplay on. Then in the industry news we hear about a robbery that goes very wrong for the owner of the site, and an end to Right Stuff's erotic material as they become acquired by the monopoly th...

With all the targeted marketing branching out, I have an idea. There’s an underutilized market that’s ripe for tapping. The boomers. You might counter that they see foreign comics as degenerate. I counter that there’s a large chunk of them that are secretly degenerates and can be swayed by the argument that it’s art. Or just blast their DMs with animu titties and they’ll eventually come around. Ti...

This week on Anime Pulse we got driving on a suspended license, Yakuza: Like a Babysitter, and anime that the FBI might come after you for watching. Up first Joseph has to spend a boatload of the money he was trying to save up for his upcoming vacation to Florida, and Andrew is wire-free as he asks us to expose our deep dark anime search history. Then in the industry news a solo topic and a timely...

Have you ever just sat in a spaceship and wanted to drive? You know I was a Tesla Mars customer before I ever did ads. Even without the chip in by brains screaming at me to be loyal to the Emperor Musk. Even before all of that, Matthew McConaughey did other things. Like be the titular Joe in Killer Joe[2011]. A nineties play which had spent quite a bit of of time floating through development hell....

Andrew's an idiot and lost his half of the Previews for Anime Pulse 762 (the part in the anime podcast where we talk about anime..). So here's a re-recording of the anime coverage in case you're interested.

This week on VG Pulse, cats win the internet. We start off with side notes of work life and summer life, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the (maybe?) revival of E3, the tragic loss of a young member of the Minecraft community, another rant about the implications of pushing for online-only, discussions about the implications of even more small studios being absorbed up by large...

This week on Anime Pulse we got good gatcha luck, the return of Vic, and a man Joseph hates as much as Andrew hates Rent-a-Girlfriend's Kazuya. First up Joseph got all the 5-starts he wanted in the recent summer FGO event, and Andrew asks us to look way into the future and think if you'll be watching anime still. Then in the industry news we have topics like a man doing his best to ruin the enviro...

This week on Anime Pulse we got hot new summer anime, the latest COVID vaccine craze, and teacakes. Up first Joseph talks about the Tunnock's Milk Chocolate Teacakes and his new aversion to chocolate, meanwhile Andrew is curious about how our tastes in anime have matured. Then in the industry news a follow up to the death of the Yu-Gi-Oh creator, and the creator of Love Hina! wins election for Jap...

Look at the hands on that clock, Steve. It looks like the hands are running backwards. I guess that means it’s time to do the Time Warp again. Because we seem to have fallen into the past through some sort of paper lined gateway. By that we mean manga and manga that’s aged. Has it aged like wine or soured like vinegar? Tim starts us off with InuYasha. That’s right, the origin of our term Takehashi...

This week on Anime Pulse we got bad news and more bad news, acceptable CG, and snacks from across the pond. Up first Joseph talks about his experiences with IRN-BRU, Jaffa Cakes, and Digestives. Andrew on the other hand has been on a game buying spree, falling prey to the steam summer sale. In the industry news it's a Joseph only day, with nothing but sad and bad news of the passing of two legenda...
