Anime Pulse

It’s Monday, folks. At least when we’re recording. It also is often when we post because that’s our schedule. But even if it’s one of the other six days of the week, treat it like it’s Monday. By that we mean groan, clock in not more than a second before you’re obligated, and glare at the first people you interact with. Then brace yourself for discussion of movies. We start us off with Hudson Hawk...

This week on Anime Pulse we got even more previews, shaved heads, and community thoughts on the season thus far. Up first Joseph takes the plunge into doing something he has put off for years, and Andrew is relieved that the Anime Pulse website has returned to regular operations. Then in the industry news a new policy for charging foreigners more is debated, Crunchyroll is still the worst, and exp...

This week on VGP, we’re back! Kind of! We start off with side notes of why all the shows have been on hiatus for the last month, before diving into the regular news where we discuss Microsoft entering into it’s villain arc, Sony’s questionable move of making its steam games need to be linked to a PSN account, Poppy Playtime getting a movie adaptation, and Starfield continuing to disappoint! After...

Oh my goodness, things are moving along again. That means a post is due. Have we done something about leaves being raked? Does that work for anything? No? Crap. We’ll cut right to the brass tacks then. This is a manga show and we’ve managed to read and produce a review for two. We hope you’ll listen, like, subscribe, and send two box tops plus proof of purchase along with a check for shipping to c...

Two households, both alike in dignity. In fat America, where we lay our scene. And that’s about all we can figure to work in a Shakespeare reference in the few minutes we knock these out. Besides we wanted to get a little classy before we tackle an A24 movie. Yup, we watched Civil War[2024]. If you’ve seen the trailers, then you’ve got some expectations as to what we’re in for. War scenes, bad thi...

This week on Anime Pulse we got more previews, attacking someone over spoilers, and 100 year anniversaries. Up first Joseph quickly mentions his attendance at the 100 year anniversary for is other job, before Andrew goes into community with a question about anime eyes. Then in the industry news Andrew takes it away with a stinky Yu-Gi-Oh event, and a man who got a little too heated after Oshi no K...

If you’re reading this then you’re probably hearing about all the issues on website posts. Which is ironic because the only way this shows up is that the issues are resolved. One of those kind of funny paradoxes where you get to hear about it for the next couple of episodes now that it’s all done. It’s kind of like getting the results back from a cancer screening after you’ve already had surgery t...

Everyone has heard the word in Hollywood. That word is exploitation and shady sexual favors. Wait, that’s not a word. The word is remake. That thing we’ve been complaining about long enough to wear out a couple of presidents. Hollywood is nothing if not persistent in their endeavor. Once they’ve bit down they will do a death roll until everybody has drowned. So we’re talking about a remake with Ro...

This week on Anime Pulse we got a bunch of previews, very little IRL news, and space ships! Up first Joseph skips the IRL news section with Andrew to go straight into community, which is all about our favorite anime space ships. Then in the industry news, there is one! And finally we have a chungus previews episode to make up for the fact there will be no show next week. Joseph is banished by his...

This week on Anime Pulse we got no IRL news, short stacks, and a father takes a really long bike ride. Up first is the community section, because both Joseph and Andrew have zero things to talk about. Then in the industry news it's a swap as Joseph is the only one with something to mention, and it's about an old man who rode his bike over 300 miles. And finally in the final reviews before we trans...

Suddenly there was a shout. The maid pointed towards the entryway. “Look out, he’s got a nug!” She bellowed. We discovered afterwards that she had long been diagnosed as having too much black bile and that lead to a curious condition. A transposing of letters in her speech and reading. This did not affect her day to day for what maid needed to be properly lettered as she polished the silver. Still...

This week on VGP, we’re awake! We start off with side notes of weaksauce and German food, before diving into the regular news where we discuss Stardew Valley breaking records, Kotaku imploding, more government movements towards anti-monopoly practices in the video game space, Twitch being Twitch, and many exciting updates to Palworld!! After the news we head off into the reviews, where I dis...

This week on Anime Pulse we got the results of Jury Duty, Indian Curry, and the disappearance of anime media. Up first Joseph talks curry and how he faired during his jury duty, and Andrew is excited for his upcoming trip to Japan and talks about his Easter dinner. Then in the industry news we got a single whole topic, but it's pretty big, 60,000 minutes big to be exact! And in the reviews Joseph...

It seems there’s a little rift open to the past. I can hear ragtime music and people talking in transatlantic accents. Hop in your old bone shaking Model T and drive down past the five and dime. Because we’re on a trip through history and film with Vivacious Lady(1938). Jimmy Stewart plays a professor who meets a nightclub performing girl, Ginger Rogers. They hit it off instantly and get married j...

This week on Anime Pulse we got 1000% psycho, a very short community segment, and snow. Up first Joseph had to dig himself out after old man winter took a dump on his lawn, and Andrew took some days off and spent them on family. Then in the industry news the greatest heist of the century sees the villains caught and arrested, and you may get a chance to soon ride the dragon and eat some balls at a...

Before you there are two drivers. One of them is signed by the publisher and easy to find. The other has to be downloaded from a Megadrive link you found on a Substack post. Choose, but choose wisely. One of them will corrupt your boot sector and force you to reinstall the OS. The other will fix your issue. At least until you forget you did that and reinstall anyway. Weltall has Dr Slump. It’s Aki...

This week on Anime Pulse we got fake sausages, a duke with blue balls, and a convicted rapist gets the middle finger. Up first Joseph talks about his experience with Dog Haus and a lovely eight plus mile walk, and Andrew might actually have some IRL news for us this week as he promised last time. Then in the industry news Tokyo's High Court says it's ok to call a rapist negative terms, more inaccu...

Let’s talk security. Now, most people don’t think about this but your windows are an overlooked ingress point. Most people will put on sensors or bars. But that won’t keep out the postal goblins. Everyone fails to consider the postal goblins. They slip past all you conventional measures and start dumping flyers for restaurants that aren’t yet open and will close before you can use the coupons. In...

This week on Anime Pulse we got to pay our respects to the passing of a legend, eating Yuca, and level 999 love stories. Up first Joseph wanders around for seven miles looking for food, and Andrew is peaking into our music folders for non-OP and non-ED anime music. Then in the industry news we of course talk about how impactful the passing of the Dragon Ball creator has been, and a dumb kid gave a...

This week on VG Pulse, computer weirdness continues! We start off with side notes of weird crashes happening with my computer vs Mil’s computer both running the same game, before diving into the regular news where we discuss Discord trying to get into gaming, the upcoming Summer Games Fest, this year’s Mar10 Day announcements, more reasons why we should be wary of a digital-only future...

Have you tried tater tots? If you went to public school in the United States, it guaranteed you have. We want you to forget those sad, lumps of starch that masquerade as potato bits. Grab some from the store in the frozen section and break out the air fryer. That’s the only way to truly enjoy the delicacy. And if you cannot, well then. Clearly you don’t own an air fryer. Tim has Killer Pedro. Ther...

This week on Anime Pulse we got warmer weather, flashbacks in anime, and a training arc that never ends. Up first Joseph goes for a lovely walk in some warmer weather right before the show, and Andrew goes straight into the community stuff. Then in the industry news we got a couple Crunchyroll articles, both bad, and a teacher kicks a student's ass for being a dick. And finally in the reviews Jose...

This week on Anime Pulse we got credit card scams, tear licking, and anime McDonald's. Up first Joseph had a nice dinner at Chili's but has to cut up his credit card, and Andrew is having a pretty rough week. Then in the industry news a dating app in Japan did a survey of the hot and not activities, and the fake McDonald's in every anime is becoming reality. And finally in the reviews Joseph gets...

This week on Anime Pulse we got sudden Otakon setup, the sinking of an entire vtuber agency, and advertisement for a cold place in Japan disguised as an anime. Up first Joseph spent close to $700 preparing for his trip to Washington DC in August, and Andrew wants to know about our biggest anime regrets. Then in the industry news Andrew is pumped about a new anime by the Rena-a-Girlfriend creator,...

After the news Millennium...
