Anime Pulse

This week on Anime Pulse we got wasp swarms, hacking ghosts, and no community!? Up first IRL news sees Andrew back in London but not before going on the run of a lifetime, and Joseph found himself on the receiving end of a buzzing menace. Then in the industry news, there is none! And without any community segment, because Andrew got a bit sidetracked with IRL life things, that means the final previews centric show sees things out. Joseph discovers there's a reincarnated skeleton in his body made up of 100 girlfriends, Andrew transforms into a giant lizard that is totally not Godzilla so he can beat up other girls in fighting games, and then the two join forces to assassinate corrupt politicians, dive into their hot boss's mind, and abandon homeless children.

Let’s hop into the Tardis and take you back to a simpler time. Hold up your sporks and prepare to ship Sherlock with the Onceler. Do you remember when Johnny Depp was basically just Jack Sparrow in every damn movie? Let us remind you with Mortdecai[2015]. Depp plays the titular lord Mordecai. He’s English and he has a bad mustache. That’s a whole recurring joke they drive into the ground faster than a Robin Reliant strapped to a rocket. He has a wife, Gweneth Paltrow, and a rival in Ewan Mcgregor who’s horny for her. He’s deep in tax dept to the state and takes a job to help locate …

This week on Anime Pulse we got painful thighs, revenge, and alternate realities. Up first IRL with Andrew has him back in his homeland seeing family, and Joseph took his first bike ride in 20 years. Then in the industry news a big studio hit below the profit goal. Finally another round of previews to see us out with Joseph dying as a corporate slave tomb raider and reincarnating as a rearguard who has to play otome games, and Andrew goes on a foodie roadtrip after becoming a maid who crushed her homeland with books.

It’s been hot folks. The depths of summer have arrived along with the heat. We’re living through some wonderful triple digits for those of us that use freedom units. The rest of the world can just be wrong and measure weather with an imprecise system made up by, gag, the French. You’d think that alone would be enough to convince the rest of the world to abandon it. Also, we still have manga reviews. Up first is Tim with I’m Nearly 30, but This is My First Love. We have a twenty eight year old woman, Yamamoto who is finally dating and really likes this guy. The initial catch is …

This week on Anime Pulse we got old men in various shapes, Wingstop, and community submitted anime characters. Up first Andrew is just doing the usual to get back in shape, and Joseph visited a new chain restaurant. Then in the industry news, does anyone care that Akira is being rereleased on big film? And more previews for the summer as Joseph defeats the demon lord only to find out he's been forced to move to the countryside and retire as a swordsman, while Andrew invents electricity to poison a lion while he dances with a femboy.

This week on VG Pulse, things get extra spicy!

It’s movie time for the Popcorn gentlemen. Which normally means a three-fer of a review. We like to shake it up every once in awhile and do two dual reviews. It doesn’t take us any less work but then you get less reviews. Or maybe you get better analysis because we’ve both focused on the two films. Rather than simply reacting to what the other remembers, infallibly, about their individual watch. First up is The Best Offer[2013]. Geoffrey Rush plays Virgil Oldman. Like the Kojima character he’s modeled off of, Virgil is old and a man. He’s an auctioneer and evaluates art. He gets called into review an estate by …

This week on Anime Pulse we got a return with previews, a return with no news, and a return with stuff. I dunno, does anyone even read these? Anyways, up first IRL news with Joseph having done a whole lot of nothing the past week and Andrew touches on his trip. No industry news this week because the website tried to charge Andrew a subscription, so community it is with displacement theory. Lastly are the previews as Joseph reincarnates after defeating the demon lord into a dragon cat whose classes in heavy knight, and Andrew chain smokes 500 manga issues behind a convenience store.

Bada bing, bada boo, we got a manga show for you. Yes, we could have said bada boom. It wouldn’t have had the same impact. Rhyming is paramount and what we were aiming for, after all. Not that it rhymed very well or anything. Look, we just have to get something down and desperation makes for a pushy mistress as the deadline looms. Either way, we still have a pair of manga. First up is Tim with Monsters We Make. It’s an OEL set in the future year of XX. You see there was something of a disaster and everyone born either after or during some event called endless night …

Hey guys, remember random monkey things? Like monkey pirate ninjas? Well what if they were carriers of a super infections disease that ate your face and turned you into a puddle of goo within two days? We sort of have that going on with today’s movie, Outbreak(1995). It’s about a disease that crops up in Africa in the sixties. It’s carried by capuchins because then they’re not quite as horrifying as something like a chimp. The military bombs the outbreak spot after collecting a sample. Fast forward to modern day, the nineties, and there’s a new outbreak(hey, that’s the title) cropping up. Dustin Hoffman and Cuba Gooding Jr must swoop …
