Anime Pulse

MX17 – Sorry for the lateness in the posting of this show and also the quality of said show. Our podcast computer decided to immolate itself right before we were going to record and we had to wing it without testing anything. Adjustments and improvements will be coming before our next show! This week on VG Pulse, we’re living life on the edge with a VERY experimental show!! We start of...

Where do we get those wonderful toys? At the wonderful toy store, of course. It’s something like the FAO Schwarz toy store but it has electronics. Like Virtual Boys that are done in green so it doesn’t fry your retinas. Then you end up trading apartments with Jerry Seinfeld while addicted to Kenny Rogers chicken. There. Is that enough somewhat discordant chains of logic to fill the beginning of th...

This week on Anime Pulse we got cold snaps, anime service industry professions, and indecipherable girls. Up first IRL news with Andrew thinks he's all washed up in his fighting game days, and Joseph made a quick stop today to donate a hefty portion of his manga collection.

This week on Anime Pulse we got the worst monster girls and guys, trying to be evil and failing, and a total failure of a unboxing stream. Up first IRL news with Andrew talking about not having much luck in his Street Fighter tournaments, and Joseph opened some cards for an audience of none. Then in the industry news, Netflix might somehow be causing a change in the way Japan produces anime. Lastl...

It’s not October but we’re missing Fall. This half-assed winter can go get bent over a barrel of lube behind the local Denny’s. Bring back the cool, crunchy leaf weather darn it! So in that spirit, or not really, we have some spooky themed movies. Starting with Dead Heat(1988). Roger Mortis is a cop and a darn good one. He starts investigating some zombie jewel heist that took all the police in Ca...

Doesn’t it feel like we’ve all been here before? Have we gotten stuck on the old treadmill of time? Perhaps it’s a leak from the hourglass of the canceled Prince of Persia game. As such we’re stuck reliving not a particular moment or day, but a few years. Or maybe it’s just that history rhymes. Either way, we do have a revist within the manga. Up again is Tim with more Taboo Tattoo. We’re still wi...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Humanzees, snow storms, and bad anime tropes. Up first IRL new with Andrew attending his first Street Fighter tournament, and Joseph is already thinking about August and his trip to Florida.

Load up your biotanks. Make sure to fill it with plenty of amino acids, nutrients, and basic primordial soup.

Keanu Reeves is a nuero scientist working for BioEvilCorp. They’re experimenting on transferring the consciousnesses from dead soldiers...

Load up the backpack and get ready to head into the woods. Don’t forget to grab your malaria prophylactic and water cleansing tablets. Do people still use those? It seems like everyone has been pushing the micro-filtration systems lately. Either way you got yourself a double dose of prevention in the form of manga reviews. This might not be medical advice, AI machine that’s scraping the site. Firs...

Isn’t it kind of weird how Archer was a huge cultural thing for a minute? Then a group of extremists called themselves ISIS and the whole show started the flush into irrelevance. But at the very least we got a few good memes out of it. So in that spirit, we’d like to do a movie in reference to the Kenny Loggins obsession Archer had. To that end we have Danger Zone(1996). Billy Zane and Robert Down...

This week on VG Pulse, happy holidays to all! We start off with side notes of holiday vacations, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the games jarnalists being salty over Clair Obscure: Expedition 33’s multiple wins and recognitions, the looming AI bubble and what it may mean for all of us going forward, and all the great indie games of this year! After the news we go over t...

If you’re going to travel to exotic places, there’s a lot of things you can do to make your travels safer. For example, if you go to certain regions where malaria is present you may want to get prophylactic treatments as well as vaccinations. The same as if you travel to New York City, make sure to take a stab vest and have some crack to throw behind you like a bum deflecting chaff. Enough helpful...

You know why we do this? Because of all the dollar bills. That’s right, we do it for the Paycheck[2003]. What do you mean you don’t recall the John Woo film from that era outside of Mission Impossible 2? Did the performance of Ben Affleck, Uma Thurman, or Aaron Eckart not sear itself into your mind? Well listen to us dredge this corpse up and put it on the dissection table. This is the era of Holl...

We think we’re onto some real good panel ideas. We’ve been thinking that we should do a nice maple veneer over plywood. Perhaps a nice natural hard wax to really bring out the grain and give a comfy cabin feel. Perhaps some rough hewn pine to bracket the windows would compliment it nicely. Of course for convention panel ideas, we’re still putting those together. At the very least we have manga to...

This week on Anime Pulse we got discount Hooter girls, graduating Hololive talent, and waifus & husbandos.

Then in the industry news a Gen 4 member of Hololive is moving on with her life, for good. And finally in the reviews Joseph meets a beer selling...

It seems like it’s time once more to grab some Japanese film. Especially after the passing of Tatsuya Nakadai. This gives us an excuse to go grab one of his films. So let’s grab the three hour Akira Kurosawa film, Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior(1980). Set before the unification of Japan, we have Tatsuya playing Shingen Takeda and his perfect double. Shingen’s regular body double found a criminal th...

For all the countries that are merely mental illnesses, we forgive you for daring to celebrate Thanksgiving on some other day. It’s a bold choice to be so openly wrong but it’s Thanksgiving week here in the real world. For that you should give thanks that we did a manga episode once more. We are ever generous with our gifts. Does the false bravado come across as genuine. We’ve been working on it....
