Anime Pulse

You heard it hear folks, people are sometimes bad. But if you vote us for government office we will give you promises. Promises we don’t intend to keep. If you call us out on our supposed failures, we’ll blame the other party. Tim has A Lovely Lonely Land. So we have a dude and he’s a loser. He’s immune to all damage and dreams of a girl sleeping next to him. He wanders into another dimension one day, as you do, and meets bugs. They want him to eat magic royal jelly and become the new queen. And it turns out the girl is his dead twin. It’s a single volume that’s …

This week on Anime Pulse we got expensive mousepads, the worst characters arcs ever, and saving a loli monster because you must protect the cute. Up first IRL news has Joseph racking up the bill on the FGO wafer cards, and Andrew is ready to face Bowser's Fury as a giant furry. Then in the industry news the topics come in with a spicy burger, an anime for Hatsune Miku, and a ridiculous amount of hate for a short and busty dragon. Lastly in the reviews Joseph delves deep into a dungeon to pickup a monster girl, and Andrew begins his dating experiences by marrying the first girl that saved his life.

In the nineteen fifties everything was Detroit rolling iron, drive in movies, and sock hops. At least according to our industrious research of watching Happy Days. So where was someone supposed to go to get a bite to eat without waiting forever? In comes The Founder[2016] to tell that story. Michael Keaton plays Ray Kroch, the founder of the McDonald’s corporation. It tells an edited version of the how Ray was working for a shake machine company and met the McDonald’s brothers. Keaton does an excellent job playing the asshole CEO he’s intended to be as he wrests control and the name from the original brothers. Keeping with Keaton, Tim has Desperate Measure(1998). Andy Garcia, before …

Another week come and gone, ladies and gentlemen. We’re back with two manga that are fresh two us and, like it or not, you’re getting our opinion on it. Unless you don’t play the episode. Then you’re just going to look below the fold at the rating and wonder why it got that. Tim has Tanikamen. A uniquely styled manga that centers around an unusual student Tani. He wears a mask and aggravates people simply by existing. Some of the local bullies don’t take too kindly to him being around there and trying to get by. So they hassle him, only to discover he’s far stronger than he looks. It’s a mostly episodic …

This week on Anime Pulse we got Sakura Cinnabons, Favorite Character Arcs, and Nico Nico Nii~ Up first Joseph has picked up Magic the Gathering again, and Andrew shows off his part-time devil manga. Afterwards industry news rolls in with free repairs for damaged figurines, a cute Good Smile video, and Crunchyroll pissing off our community with their awards show. And rounding us out are the reviews as Joseph attempts and fails to avoid the sexual advances of multiple monster girls, and idol Andrew-Chan makes a comeback with his hit new single.

One. Two. Three movies, ah, ah, ah. Now that you’re hearing this read to you but a purple felted vampire, we have films for your perusal. We’ve got some of the late, great Raul Julia in Roger Corman’s Frankenstein Unbound(1990). Raul is Frankenstein who get’s visited by John Hurt who is hurled back in time because of a wormhole weapon he created in our future. Like all Roger Corman films, it’s held together with spit and twine. All driven by a ticking clock forcing the production schedule. Tim drags up The Wolverine[2013]. A good adaptation of the Wolverine character finally arriving in theaters. Of course it centers around his healing factor, because what else would you …

Back for a limited time only, we have twin manga reviews. Available only as a bundle which comes every other week. Ok, so it’s not that limited but you do only get twenty some odd episodes about manga every year. That’s like, not nearly enough to satiate. So here comes the fix. Tim has Nano Machine. Our protagonist is a prince running through the woods evading assassins in a vaguely historical times. He nearly dies until some guy wearing a VR headset pops in and murders the rest then giving our hero something which turns out to be nanomachines which accelerate healing and let him customize his body. It’s alright but gets really …

This week on Anime Pulse we got incoming snow storms, China against anime, and performing surgery on a dragon girl. Up first IRL news has Joseph morning the loss of his head phones, and Andrew asks us about the worst official anime couples. Then in the industry news there's a positive law being introduced to protect escalator riders, and China being super dumb and not checking the facts about an isekai anime. Finally in the reviews, which we have returned to, Joseph cures monster girls of cancer and Andrew studies his hardest to raise his high school ranking but just buys his grades when he fails.

Crack open a cold one. Fire up the popcorn popper. Wipe down your theater seat because your local government demands it. We’re back with cinematic projections focused on the great and now late Sean Connery. Digging into the older and lesser talked films of his career, we tap into Name of the Rose(1986). Sean Connery is a monk with Christian Slater as his apprentice. They’re going to a church summit at a monastery where a murder has occurred. This leads to Connery investigating it while more die around them. Because it’s based on a book by Umberto Eco it goes nowhere in spite of a good premise. Weltall has The Rock(1996). A Michael Bay movie before …

You know the drill by now. It’s a manga show were two people do two manga. Let’s pretend we said something funny and snarky about a BOGO deal or something and move on. Tim has Goblin Is Very Strong. So there’s an MMO style world of vague RPG where there are levels and a “goblin” character stumbled into being level ninety nine. This makes her able to kill all the players with but a stab. So it’s like One Punch Man but not funny or interesting. It’s a dull slog worth of a trip to hell were we will Burn It. Weltall has Welcome to Succubus High. When our boring male protagonist transfers to an all girl …
