Anime Pulse

We got a really special episode of Anime Pulse for you this week. While Joseph is taking a well deserved break, veteran host RyoWei247 returns as a guest! We hear what she’s been up to recently before delving into the community and forum topic about favorite Male Tsunderes. The news segment is actually pretty shounen centric with light hearted, heavy and concerning stories. Of course to top it off there’s the reviews, with Ryo’s covering an anime about a skull faced bookseller and Andrew covers the anticipated sequel to SSSS.Gridman. (while drinking far too much…) Of course there’s some tangents and general banter as well given that this episode clocks …

Is there a bard in the house? No, we’re not asking for you ridiculous bards who roll to seduce everything you can talk to. We’re looking for the kind of bards that compose epic poems. The ones that get remembered by the weird historian looking to make a name for themselves because there’s really only so many ways to analyze the Battle of Agincourt. Yes, that one. You come over and sit down right here. We’ve got two mangas you need to chronicle them for us, dear sir. Tim has a request with If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord. Or some other similar title. There are a few translations …

This week on VG Pulse, we’re roasting alive!! We start off with side notes of Aki’s new obsession with Digimon cards and talk of our upcoming trip to a local fair! After the side notes we dive into the news where we discuss Ubisoft, Riot, and Activision all dealing with more investigations over harassment claims, EA being… suspiciously kindhearted over accessibility technology, Stardew Valley becoming an e-sport, and the resounding success of the Avatar: The Legend Of Korra tabletop game kickstarter! After the news we go over the Discord Discussions, Aki gives her first and only look at Paper Mario and the Origami King, and we finish off with talk …

This week on Anime Pulse we got one less reason to visit Japan, invaders attempting to take over an Isekai, and super hype for future FGO events. Up first is the IRL news with Joseph gushing about the Japanese released FGO events for Camelot and more recent ones, and Andrew is sending the FBI home with his inquiry into favorite Onee-sans in anime. Then in the industry news Sony seals the deal on their purchase of Funimation, and otakus infiltrate top Olympic sports just so they can do cool poses. And lastly we return to reviews as Joseph is sent to another world by his evil sexy bosses along with a loli android, and Andrew gets retro with a look back at what inspired him to become a cute humanoid-robot pilot to fight space monsters.

It’s throwback Thursday. And by that we mean Monday. At least we recorded this on Monday. If you wanted to hold off until Thursday to make it accurate you’re fully empowered to do so. You are master of the destiny you pursue. Either way when you get to it, we’ve talked about Big Trouble In Little China(1986). The classic John Carpenter film where Kurt Russel is a truck driver of the old Pork Chop Express. He gambles overnight and wins but his buddy doesn’t have the cash on him. So Kurt takes him down to Chinatown so he can pick up his bride and get some cash. When the bride to be ends up …

Gather round all ye. With the mailbag in our hands we have requests. Let’s see. Hate, hate, hate. And that’s just how we feel about the catalogs. Ah, we have at least a single request that’s been sitting on the back burner. Which is good as that takes care of fifty percent of our trouble in choosing. We’ll spin the wheel of degeneracy for Wetlall’s and call it a day. Tim has Yankee Jk Kuzuhana-Chan. Saotome is a student at a high school which has just recently gone co-ed. He’s the only boy that’s decided to go there. The perfect setup to a generic harem manga which would make you toss it for three points from downtown. Though you shouldn’t …

This week on Anime Pulse we got the return of a long thought dead Crunchyroll original, COVID shots, and five episodes of exposition. Up first Joseph is a bit lonely and stressed out so his body decided to break a little, and Andrew asked us before what the best anime adaptations of games were now he wants to know what the worst ones are. Then in the industry news we got topics like when a cosplayer shows more skin than the character in the series does, and another Goo Rankings poll for most entertaining Shonen series. Then in our FINAL previews episode for the summer season, yes, were sure this time, the great Joseph is forced to work at a bar after being defeated by a slime, and Andrew survives Would War 3 only to enter a battle royal with gods.

We’re knee deep in summer. Up here in the proper hemisphere where things are warm. It’s bikini weather and Weltall is frightening his neighbors with Italian thongs and a ratty ice cream truck. How best to cool down when the sun heats up? We’ll talk about a movie where they fight fires. So we’ve got Backdraft(1991). It’s a Ron Howard movie with Kurt Russel and a whole cast of great actors. And somehow it stars William Baldwin. They’re fire fighters who watched their dad get blown up by a backdraft. Years later, they’re both working in the same firehouse when mysterious arsons begin happening. So there’s daddy issues, fire, and a subplot about killing …

This week on Anime Pulse we got going from top of an apartment complex to bottom of a dungeon, the Anime Olympics, and being so so lonely. Up first IRL news as Joseph has turns his skills to masonry, and Andrew is Gousto about being very busy reading huge Chungus. Then in the industry news we meet a A.I. mama who is ready listen to all our woes, and an odd list for the top endings in shonen manga. And finally the previews, our final show of straight previews, sees us out with Joseph being isekai'd to balance checkbooks and mine demon ore, while Andrew becomes a superstar idol vampire with blue eyes that reads from a cursed book.

Inside of this show are two wolves. One of them is a manga. The other is also a manga. This is actually a manga show in which we review them. And sometimes, just sometimes. We let a couple of wolves off the chain to go wild and tear them apart. Tim has S Rare Soubi no Niau Kanojo. We have Mr Cheapass who is standard manga protagonist. Parents are away in another country, he’s taking care of his siblings and making his meager paycheck from working 7-11 go as far as possible. Until a neighbor/childhood friend gets him into a gacha game which summons a character from the world of the game. And she needs money …
