We almost need a new term after this episode. Something to describe getting bad manga out of a grab bag. It’s much like getting some sort of STI though in this case it’s going to the whorehouse and not bringing along a condom on purpose. Stupid Tankabon Inside? We’ll workshop some stuff and completely forget. Until then, on with the manga review. Tim has My Isekai Life. Yuji is a young office drone who whines about working all the time. He likes to play video games when he can. He boots up his PC for the first time in awhile and gets a pop-up which he tries to ignore by …

This week on Anime Pulse we got gender swapping isekai dads, smart phone limitations, and apartment hunting. Up first Joseph gives the sad news about his offer on a house, and Andrew asks the community who their top female villains in anime are. Then in the industry news there is none, but don't worry, we got another edition of Would or Wouldn't. Finally in the last review before Andrew heads to Japan for two weeks, the guys team up to tackle Joseph's first foray into the villainess genre but with an otaku father twist to the mix.

In a turn of events we decided to take a trip to the island of Japan as a theme. What kind of theme could we pluck out of cinema from the land of the rising sun? Would it be films of the samurai? Lightning fast martial arts? How about slow boil romances where everyone acts like they’re taking ketamine off screen? You shall have to see now. First up is Yakuza Apocalypse[2015]. It’s about an apocalypse of yakuza. We start in a small town where the head of the yakuza chapter is a vampire. He gets killed by a gun wielding cosplayer and an angry otaku. But his head bites …

This week on Anime Pulse we got busty elf girls, hot anime takes, and Discord problems. Up first the IRL news has Joseph talk about house hunting and Discord AI being really dumb, and Andrew talks about his upcoming trip to Japan. Then in the industry news the latest Demon Slayer movie stole the show at the box offices, and a really dumb person gets hired into the gaming industry. And finally our review has Joseph and Andrew perform the fusion dance while returning from death, who the newest best girl is, and how many more season they can get away with keeping Rem in a coma.

Summer’s coming to a close. Labor day has passed and that means the days are starting to turn. That also means our convention has come and gone. With that in the mirror that alsom means it’s time to review grab bag manga. This ensures that we really get garbage to comb through without effort. Up first is time with Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs. We meet Koragashi, a psychic who punches ghosts as exorcism. He’s been invited to a run down hot spring hotel haunted by Yuuna and occupied by a bunch of monster girls. We should mention this is Seven Seas “Ghost Ship” imprint who’s motto is “we …

This week on Anime Pulse we got beta males, the best wingmen in anime, and chicken of the woods. Up first Joseph took the Omegaverse test to learn his true role in life and found orange mushrooms on the side of the road, and Andrew talks about how he recovered the loss of our previous episode to the void. Then in the industry news we have none! And finally more reviews to end on things with Joseph being forced to solve the problems of a goddess with alchemy, and Andrew leaves a handball team to visit the aquarium.

This week on Anime Pulse we got ramen, retired hitmen, and Andrew forgetting to post the topic question until the last second. Up first Joseph recounts an amazing takeout experience as well as his gaming updates, while Andrew is packing his bags and reserving his seats for his trip to Japan. Then in the industry news we talk about why you should never meet your heroes. And finally the reviews wrap things up with Joseph packing on the pounds after becoming a family man assassin, and Andrew heads to a village of swordsmiths to get a new blade made for beheading demons.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be good at your job? So good that you would be brought out of retirement for one last job? That’s how we ended up slinging space donuts at the Convention of Peace Officers in Chicago six years ago. Was it worth the six dollars an hour and all the mini donuts you can eat? Some people would say no. Those people have never seen the look on a con goers face when you hand them a bag that burns their hand because the contents were in the fryer less than ten seconds ago. First up we have 24 Hours to Live[2017]. Ethan Hawke plays a …
