Anime Pulse

Here in the future of the past, we’ve finally hit the point where lumber is almost worth it’s weight in silver. Pretty soon there will be a federal reserve of pine and plywood. Which then means we’ll get a Die Hard 10: Raiding Again where the nephew of the Gruber’s will rob it. And Willis will be partnered with some forgettable actor who’s popular on social media for a week. Until it’s discovered that they’re a vore loving baby fur. As we have some sort of news, Tim did Berserk. Being as it’s been a long time since we visited with this, think episode 73, it was time to really dig into the series. So Tim …

This week on Anime Pulse we got some a little special for ya, as Andrew dishes out two reviews at the price of one, Joseph starting to crack under the pressure of ranked games in MTG:A, and our favorite AMVs. Up first IRL news gets Joseph spending money on flights and putting in A/Cs, meanwhile Andrew is going Japantastic in his hunting of monsters before wrapping up the season of previews with his short takes. Then in industry news Joseph has a real talk about Japan's prison system, and Andrew sombers us with the passing of a legendary author. Lastly in the reviews Joseph earns a Yandere after removing her lifelong curse with a washcloth, and Andrew powers up to Super Andrew God next time in Anime Pulse Z

In the future we will all have to eat bugs. At least according to a bunch of terrible think pieces scattering the internet. And there is no way those are boosted by the elites who are tired of having to pay more for meat because the peasants want some too. Just like all the articles that get written telling people they need to stop wanting a house and space for comfort. In that spirit we talk about Snowpiercer[2013]. Originally a French graphic novel it was adapted in twenty thirteen in a joint Korean/American production. Both take place entirely on a train which runs along the wasteland of earth and may …

What do you do with a drunken sailor? No idea. But what you do with a drunken popcorn pulse host? Hook them up with a nice single malt and a couple of bad movies. You won’t get art but at least you’ll be amused. First up is Moon Zero Two(1969). A movie chosen because it is set in May 2021. When we have an established moon base and our hero was the first person to land on Mars. He gets contracted to divert a meteor made of sapphire to the moon where it can be mined. Unfortunately for him, the man with the wallet has a monocle and a van dyke. …

This week on Anime Pulse we got demonic boobie boosting, the ONLY communication news that matters, and our communities' thoughts on this season so far. Up first IRL news has a slurry Joseph naming a Ralts after Andrew, and Andrew give us the cons and pros of moving back to London. Afterwards industry news, well, the only thing that matters is that Komi can now communicate with us via anime. Andrew also mentions some things about Dragon Ball, but who cares! KOMI! KOMI! KOMI! After Komi we get into the final surprise show of Gatai, as Andrew counts 86 iRobots, and Joseph pokes some tits belonging to a devil to get a boosto in his pants.

We may have had one strike and a couple of balls. We’ve got two more chances coach. It’s the bottom of the eighth and we’re losing but the bases are loaded and we’ve got two more. Let us stay in the game, just this once. We promise to not disappoint unless we do. Tim has Kanojo, Okarishimasu (Rent-a-Girlfriend). Our protagonist is a college student who’s a very sad boy. He has always wanted a girlfriend and thought he had one. He got to date a girl for almost a month before she left him for a jock. So to soothe his wounded ego he signs up for a rental girlfriend. In keeping …

What’s better than one review? How about three? That’s what we bring to you packaged in one show. All for the low low price of the brain cells you’ll burn listening to us talk. Not as many as we cook getting through these requests that come into the PO box with no return address and smelling vaguely of the ocean. First is Tim with TokyoPop’s Code Lyoko. It’s one of those “Cinemanga” that they made. Where they pay an intern in experience to take screenshots of a show, put it into a boring format, and add text boxes. It’s French show that someone watched. It’s about a sort of virtual world and real world …

This week on Anime Pulse we got confessions in a Taxi, our best anime purchases, and lawn mowing. First up IRL news rolls in with Joseph getting a 10% man buff by mowing the lawn, and Andrew reverses last week's question to find out what we feel is our best anime purchase. Second in are the news articles, with Andrew taking point once more talking about how Joseph will never go to Russia and more depressing robot boy and bunny girl adventures into a deep hole. Thirdly and lastly, is a Gatai show, as Joseph is slightly disappointed with a Magical High School and Andrew drives a taxi around looking for any signs of humanity.

Pining after an artsy boy, hating your family, hair where there was no hair before, and turning into a monster once a month all sounds like your average teen girl, werewolf…or both!  That’s right, before True Blood and Twilight there was “Blood and Chocolate” by Annette Curtis Klause adapted by MGM is a mad cash grab to get that sweet money from horny suburban moms and their daughters in 2007. A young werewo-ahem, sorry, lupe garu named Vivian falls for the human (fuck)boi Aiden but must fight her family’s disdain and her horny instincts.  Will love prevail?  Will people be eaten?  Will stupid unnecessary changes be made in the hopes …

There was a land of the four entertainments. Books, TV, Music and Film. Everyone watched in peace until the Film nation attacked. And then everyone tuned out because who the fuck cares about the Academy awards anymore? Grab you popcorn and enjoin us in poking the bloated body of film. First up is Boss Level[2021]. Does anyone remember Edge of Tomorrow[2014]? How about Groundhog Day(1993)? Frank Grillo is a grizzled character actor who’s been given the lead as Frank Pulver. Frank has been stuck in a time loop being murdered by assassins for he knows how long. The loops may have something to do with his estranged Dr. wife and …
