Anime Pulse

Anything interesting in the news today? There is, of course, another Tron movie out that no one asked for. Which people seem to be praising the score once again. And for some reason Jared Leto is headlining it. Good thing we didn’t do it for this show. Though there is always the looming threat we will do that. Lucky for us there is alcohol. Speaking of which we watched Novocaine[2025]. Jack Quaid plays a man who has Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. He also works as an assistance manager in a bank. He lives a very boring life until runs into Amber Midthunder who awakens the trouser beast. Also she makes …

Oh shit, look at the time. It’s manga time. Again. Like Groundhog day, we are back in the same place at the same time. Or at least close enough to the same time that it doesn’t matter. We’re not Batman who’s arrival thirty seconds late means the warehouse explodes or anything. We’re much more important which is why we can start whenever we feel. Tim has Otherside Picnic. It’s sort of inspired by Roadside Picnic but has yuri schoolgirls because this is a manga we’re talking about. Sorawo wanders into a a dimension she’s been exploring and nearly dies. Lucky for her another schoolgirl, Toriko, wanders over with a gun …

This week on Anime Pulse we got the roughest isekai starts, villainess anime, and weight training desserts. Up first Joseph talks about an unexpectedly long walk, and Andrew gives some specifics about his latest trip to Japan. Then we skip the industry news as there is none, going right into the previews. Joseph gets isekai'd as an assassin who collects materials to use at a campfire cookout, and Andrew reincarnates as a villainess who loves monster meat and punching women.

Everybody needs socks. Not just the day to day boring old socks, mind you. You need some nice warm, cushy socks that will help keep your feet safe in the colder months. We’re not shilling any particular brand or anything but after watching today’s movie, Jeremiah Johnson(1972), we’re reminded of the need for good winter gear. Jeremiah Johnson is based very loosely based on both a real mountain man and a period fiction novel. The titular Jeremiah is played by Robert Redford. He comes from nowhere and has decided he will become a mountain man. So it’s his struggle to adapt to the wilderness. This means collecting a couple of …

This week on Anime Pulse we got Andrew back from Japan, Joseph reading all 1000 pages, and Fall previews. Up first Andrew fills us in on his second time in the promise land, and Joseph has put in a worrying amount of time into Stardew Valley. Then in the industry news the indie vtubing community has once again been torn asunder, as the hellhound has returned. Finally the previews see us out with Joseph unlocking his gatcha luck summoning an awkward office worker to be the last boss, and Andrew is in love with a furry who is so ordinary he drinks from a ramune bottle.

We almost need a new term after this episode. Something to describe getting bad manga out of a grab bag. It’s much like getting some sort of STI though in this case it’s going to the whorehouse and not bringing along a condom on purpose. Stupid Tankabon Inside? We’ll workshop some stuff and completely forget. Until then, on with the manga review. Tim has My Isekai Life. Yuji is a young office drone who whines about working all the time. He likes to play video games when he can. He boots up his PC for the first time in awhile and gets a pop-up which he tries to ignore by …

This week on Anime Pulse we got gender swapping isekai dads, smart phone limitations, and apartment hunting. Up first Joseph gives the sad news about his offer on a house, and Andrew asks the community who their top female villains in anime are. Then in the industry news there is none, but don't worry, we got another edition of Would or Wouldn't. Finally in the last review before Andrew heads to Japan for two weeks, the guys team up to tackle Joseph's first foray into the villainess genre but with an otaku father twist to the mix.

In a turn of events we decided to take a trip to the island of Japan as a theme. What kind of theme could we pluck out of cinema from the land of the rising sun? Would it be films of the samurai? Lightning fast martial arts? How about slow boil romances where everyone acts like they’re taking ketamine off screen? You shall have to see now. First up is Yakuza Apocalypse[2015]. It’s about an apocalypse of yakuza. We start in a small town where the head of the yakuza chapter is a vampire. He gets killed by a gun wielding cosplayer and an angry otaku. But his head bites …
