Anime Pulse

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

What what, eh old chap? Sharpen your shears. Block your wool. Polish your buttons and grab your straps because we have a movie. The Outfit[2022]. It’s the late fifties in Chicago when gangsters were gangsters and you could buy cigarettes from a machine for a nickel. We join Mark Rylance as he opens up his suit shop for the day at some point in the chilly months in the city. Mark, or ‘English’, run...

The prophecy has been fulfilled. Two seals, of bloodied fur but full of life have been born. Thus the lights in the north have been witnessed. The Eskimo has been spotted coming from the fortress of emo. It turns out he has been working on some sort of kickstarter which can be found here: In more traditional news, we have manga. Tim has Guard Pass. We start off with two childhood friends, a girl a...

You better have you bats secured. Your capes fully latched. Blood bags filled and kept in the fridge. Because it’s Morbin’ Time! That’s right, the most popular movie ever made to bear the Marvel seal has finally battered down our defenses. After an earth shattering initial release which necessitated a second run in theaters we knew we had to hop onto this bandwagon. So we’ve caved and done Morbius...

Hey everybody? Welcome to a wonderful new way to pay and live! Don’t you hate the way shopping online requires you to click on pictures and add them to a cart? Wouldn’t it be more convenient if you had to put on a VR headset, navigate over to a virtual store front, then walk through the store? Of course while you’re in there you’ll have to pick up the items you want and put them in a cart! Which y...

Hey, is anyone here holden? Holden? Anyone? Ah, there you are. Mister Thurgood Q. Holden. I have a delivery for you if you’ll just sign here. And initial here. Then please write the date, month and day is fine, next to it. Yes, it’s June. I know. Halfway over and I can’t hardly believe it. Still feels like it was just the other day it was the new millennium. What we have today is We Own the Night[...

This week on Anime Pulse we got a lawyer with moves like jagger, unexpectedly long walks, and whispering ASMR: The Anime.

Then in the industry news a true final and thankfully happy bit of wrap-up to the COVID relief thief...
