Anime Pulse

Does anything take you back to the good old days more than a Scholastic Bookfair? Not Tim because his parents didn’t authorize the spend for such things. There were plenty of books in the library for practically free. Kids who’s parents wanted to encourage reading though might remember the covers of Animorphs. You know, those hilariously bad transformations of some random kid turning into a boring...

This must be the fake movie phone episode. What with the five five five starting us off. Does Hollywood even bother with that anymore? If not, it’s now ours. And we’ll make loads of disgusting lucre, we’re talking hundreds of yen per year, to license it out. Why we’ll be able to retire or at least die. Either way we have some manga reviews. Tim starts us off with Hooligan’s. This has nothing...

This week on VG Pulse, we have some spicy conversations!! We start off with side notes of Millennium’s blackout birthday bash, before diving into the regular news where we go over the changes coming to the PEGI rating system, the outcome of the incredibly bizarre Subnautica 2 situation, Nvidia’s DLSS 5 making everything worse for games, Nintendo taking another blow in their fight again...

Look, we really like going back through film catalogs of famous actors. But if death could just slow it the heck down for a bit. Maybe go collect some mosquitoes instead. Because there are only so many losses we can take and the Academy’s “in memoriam” isn’t going to get them all at this rate. So we just said goodbye to Robert Duvall and decided to do something that was around but was not the Godf...

We count on our volunteer skywatch to be on the lookout for threats. Make sure you know your region designation, your local chapter captain, and the report number you’re to call if you spot anything. As always be on the lookout for the most devious air threat, the dual manga review. This twin engine menace will appeared at dusk on Mondays, ready to strike like a ninja. In fact it looks like there’...

Then in the industry news a One Piece director thinks adaptations are no good. Lastly more reviews with Joseph failing to properly communicate with the...

How may reviews for Superman movies does the world need? It needs ours and that’s about it. Everyone else can go back to Krypton. Yes, we sat down and finally watched James Gunn’s Superman[2025]. We figured we didn’t want to place it in the list of movies we’d watch when we get around to a theme episode sometime. If you’ve existed in Western pop culture, you know the basics. Alien from Krypton, ma...

Then in the industry news the parent company for Hololive throws down in court against a shit stirring thief. Lastly in the reviews Joseph kills the...

Have you taken your vitamin C lately? Health advice? No, we’re asking if you’ve taken a double dose of manga reviews. You might think that would be vitamin M or maybe R. We say C because it’s short for charm which our reviews are never short of. Of course we’ll probably forget this the next time a description needs be made but that’s all part of our vitamin C. Up first is Tim with The Regressed Sw...

This week on VG Pulse, we’ve got a whole pile of stupid to go over! We start off with side notes of new phones and giant movie posters, before we dive into the stupid where we discuss Discord being stupid! Oh why do companies have to be stupid… after the stupid, we discuss the rocky future of Microsoft, Toyota making their own weird game engine, and some incredibly upsetting losses in...

You know what people really love? No, not millions of dollars in unmarked bills delivered to their front door. It’s sequels after years of waiting. Which is why the movie Tron: Legacy was the most beloved of all. So how do you follow up with that? Wait over fifteen years and deliver another sequel. So we get Tron: Ares[2025]. Tron: Ares asks the bold question, did anybody watch or remember Tron: L...

This week on Anime Pulse we got gender bending, bishonen iRobot, and getting rock hard for hard rocks. Up first IRL with Andrew correcting his bench pressing form, and Joseph has nothing to add so he diverts our attention to the community segment. Then in the industry news, we got no industry news, so there's that. Finally the reviews wrap things up as Joseph becomes a useless android detective, a...

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.

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. Then another almost newsless segment sees more community discussion, where we asked the listeners to tell us their least favorite tropes in anime. Finally our last dedicated pre...
