Anime Pulse

Prepare for trouble. And you might as well make it a double. It’s been a long week since our last and that means it’s time to drink. If we have time we might fit in a little manga review or two as well. Tim has Doku Mushi – The Ruins Hotel. We have a group of paranormal investigators or something. They’re vaguely an occult club and they’re going to spend a couple of nights in an abandoned love hotel where shit went down. They find themselves locked in and someone might be trying to make them into a human Doku Mushi as they begin killing and torturing each other. It gets a Read It …

This week on Anime Pulse we got tons of trading cards, Netflix being utterly droll, and descending deeper into the Abyss. Up first Joseph is excited for his trip to Flavor Town, and Andrew stuffs his face full of pocky and melon pan while watching cute girls doing cute things. Then the industry news rolls in with Japan tracking your every movement, a life size and possible Rei figurine, and how to avoid being canceled by a Japanese artist. Lastly the reviews sound us off as Joseph watches a cute girl doing demonic things, and Andrew take a dip in the Sea of Corpses.

What to do for movies. Shit, we know we watched something we could do. Fuck it, Nicholas Cage it is. Time to break out Vampire’s Kiss(1988). One of Cage’s first roles where he brings a woman home back to his place and starts making out with her. Things are going well enough to start undressing. At least until a bat comes in. He gets bit and goes a little loopy. Becoming convinced he’s turning into a vampire. This causes him to browbeat his secretary and yell at his therapist. If nothing else, this movie is at least the source of one of the best Cage faces, the “you don’t say face.” We …

Back to back is not just the optimal fighting technique when you have two Jean Claude van Damme. It’s also the way our reviews come along. This time more pulp of the paper directly from the land of the Subaru. Tim has The Church in Front of the Devil’s Castle. So you know the current stock setting of manga fantasy is what happens when Tolkien spends one drunk night in the back of a Mazda with a magical girl before flying back to Burrummsby. There’s an outpost in front of the demon king’s castle that will serve as a save point for the heroes on their way to the last battle. It’s watched …

This week on Anime Pulse we got trips to the Emergency Room, edible cups, and angry pandas. Up first is the IRL news with Joseph feeling like death, and Andrew asking us for a little sympathy for some anime characters. Afterwards comes the industry news with two straight shots from Joseph, about a super expensive Rei figurine you can hug and munching on nutty cups. And lastly are the reviews as Joseph raises some slimes, and Andrew starts up an office job with a bunch of anthropomorphized animals.

We remember how the DC film adaptations haven’t done too hot critically or financially. They’ve made their money but they’re very clearly on rocky ground. One of the exceptions was Wonder Woman. Which meant we had to talk about Wonder Woman 1984[2020] as it recently came out. Diana is farting around in the year 1984. You might think this would be an excuse to have fun 80’s references or music. No, Diana is working as an anthropologist and saving people without getting noticed. This is so the line about her disappearing for a century in Justice League still fits. A dude named Max Lord gets a wishing stone and uses his wish to turn himself …

Oh no, it’s a wave of boredom which threatens to destroy the city! There is only one team we can call. One pair of heroic, handsome, hunks of masculinity who outshine the rest. We’ve raised the manga signal for them. Now it is in their hands. Tim has Kiss X Sis. What happens when a father gets remarried and both parents have kids? Usually they live together and adjust to their new life. This is a manga though so Keita wants to lay the pipe in twin sister-burg. Having horny thoughts about totally not blood related sisters makes him want to leave for school in distant lands but they tempt him to stay. It …

This week on VG Pulse, we are moderately supervised! We start off with discussions about life and work, before diving into the regular news where we discuss several lawsuits going on, a very weird situation between a developer and a publisher, more joystick drift popping up in newer controllers, and the reveal of a new entry in one of my favorite game series of all time!! After the news we head on off into the review where Millennium gives us a rundown of Gold Rush: The Game, and we finish off with talk of Little Nightmares, anime, and food! All this and more up next on VGP 360!! -Aki Music …

This week on Anime Pulse we got too many medications, student council presidents, and cute girls doing future high school things. Up first Joseph feels like an old man after having his teeth pulled, and Andrew's running his computer off a potato. Then in the industry news there's talk of a second season of the Devil is a Part-Timer, a live action Hellsing, and crunchy rice burgers. And rounding things out are the reviews with Joseph standing on a waste of time, and Andrew tries to bring up the mood of a declining population by riding around on a future scooter.

Anyone check in on that Harry Potter guy? We hear the author hasn’t been getting high praise these days. Turns out Radecliffe was in an action movie in Guns Akimbo[2019]. Playing against type, he’s a nerdy loser who works for a pay to play game. At night, he drinks craft beer, masturbates, and “trolls” people online. As this is a film, trolling involves telling people they suck in livestream chats. This gets the attention of the head of an organization that runs real life murder fights. Potter-san wakes up with two guns drilled to his hands and a bounty on his head. Tim then has Sleepaway Camp(1983). A slasher film set at a summer camp. …
