You know how states have gotten ridiculous about designations of things? Like how every state has a flower, a song, and a flag. We’re going to petition Colorado to make us their official podcast. Just one second as we submit that. Oh, and we’ve already gotten a response. It’s a restraining order preventing us from emailing them ever again. Guess it’s back to pen and paper mail. In the meantime, here’s a pair of manga. Tim has Bakuchi Gui. We join Bull, a kid who works a low level job while having dead parents. He makes a little extra cash selling gambling cheats. His older brother is something of a …

This week on Anime Pulse we return from the dead, well, vacations galore as Andrew and Joseph finally make time for another episode. Up first Joseph goes over the goodies he got while in Florida for his Birthday, and Andrew goes over his time attending Versus Fighting. Then in the industry news Japan's postal service will no longer ship to the US, and how Japan is using AI to prepare for Fuji's next eruption. Finally a return to reviews, however short it may be, as Joseph finds a job that offer a 401k, dental, eye care, and 60 days of PTO and all he needs to do is manage a demon lord's army. Andrew meanwhile helps a little girl get over just a tiny bit of bullying, by taking her picture.

“in the mists of the lost time known as the 13th hour of every day where time stops for all men that was gone. But as we know all endings are just beginnings have ends as all ends have beginnings like that of a incomplete circle. That just have completed smaller ones were completed sooner than others. Here we have a tale once thought lost to time is found the great depths lives once more by the power of 2.” —BioMegaBear

We’ve done quite a few Nicolas Cage films so what’s a few more? The question is can we keep finding themes within his filmography as it shrinks while we review it? Can he grow his library faster than we can review it? There’s only one way to find out and that’s to press on boldly. We opted to try and find three films where Cage was a thief or a conman. First up is Stolen[2012]. Cage plays a thief, chalk one up to the easy category. He gets caught doing a bank job and gets separated from his family. Once he gets out, he tries to reconnect with his daughter. …

Two boxes of farm fresh reviews. Hand selected, never touched by AI. That’s our promise to you. Those dastardly clankers won’t get their oily mitts on our work. We’ll keep doing this our way because our listeners don’t tolerate stilted voices reading barely sensible scripts cranked out by someone with excess tokens to waste. Tim has Mars Red. It’s set in Japan in the nineteen twenties. There are vampires that are under command of the Japanese government. Their job is to hunt down rogue vampires in the nation and either bring them into the fold or kill them. There are also foreign vampires but we don’t see to many of …

This week on Anime Pulse we got the last episode of previews in a special Gattai show, popular anime are passed on, and chicken burgers are shown off. Up first Joseph talks about his experience with the Director's Cut of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and Andrew is gauging our cooking skills with what anime foods we think we could recreate. Then in the industry news we got nothing. And finally it's the special Gattai with Joseph trying to avoid bunny girl cosplaying idols in university while a giant death worm eats everyone, and Andrew takes to the skies with cute girls.

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a solid theme episode around Nicolas Cage. But just grabbing three movies of our patron saint is too easy. The man has a long filmography which makes it way too easy to cherry pick. So we decided to narrow things down and focus on Westerns made with Cage. First up is Gunslingers[2025]. We start off with some atrocious CGI establishing the era and time. Three men get into a fight, one gets burnt and another gets shot. Fast forward to a town called Redemption where retired outlaws all hide out. Mr Burnface shows up looking for his brother. The dead man in …

This week on Anime Pulse we got horny islands, painful walks, and fighting games. Up first Joseph recounts his journey on Friday of walking 16 miles, and Andrew is still on that fighting game grind after a rank reset. Then in the industry news we have none, don't worry though Andrew will talk about something later on. And finally round four of previews has Joseph escaping from horny women so he can solo camp and make dishes using math, while Andrew rolls some rocks at some pins in the city.
