Wake up weaboos, we got a Japanese movie for you to enjoy. It’s what happens when a director who’s strictly worked in Japan makes a foray into the west. Of course he grabs Nic Cage to star as an outlaw. This requires he wear a full leather jumpsuit with bombs near his balls, arms and neck. This is all very important to the plot, so we are told. Prisoners of the Ghostland[2021] is set in post apocalyptic future Jap-America. Where cowboys and samurai rule. The evil governor wants Cage, for he is just Cage, to chase down and rescue his granddaughter who has vanished into the Ghostlands. To ensure Cage …

This week on VG Pulse we return to form with a rather vanilla episode (a flavor of ice cream most people can enjoy). In the side notes, Baked talks about why he is baked out of his mind while Monado is paid a visit by the virus of unspecified origin. There’s a variety of articles and news to discuss from big companies like NVIDIA and Microsoft getting hacked, Netflix and Amazon really trying to make the video game thing happen, to more casual topics like a list of top Bioware games and a more questionable list of top “losers” in Video Games. We also cover takes from Reggie (my body …

Double double, review some trouble. Pickup two manga and prepare for scrungle. This is why you invest in a good rhyming dictionary and don’t rely on some weird website that’s user generated and maintained. Because then the porn bots get in there and muddle it all up with gibberish. Tim has Servant X Service. Which is a brick of a manga that’s done in 4koma style. Unlike many of those we’ve reviewed, this has something of a plot. It’s about people working in the public service sector of Japan. It starts off with characters who are a bit one note and transitions into something of a office romance comedy. It …

This week on Anime Pulse we got children in space, only the best CG, and Pie. Up first Joseph celebrated Pi day with some bake-to-order Apple Pie, and Andrew digs into what we think the best uses of CG in anime are. Then in the industry news we got the top isekai survey that Joseph didn't make, and a breach in anime security at Toei Animation. Finally in the reviews Joseph teases his tiny junior at work until she falls in love with him, and Andrew gets trapped on a space station with a bunch of kids.

Twice as nice for have the price. That’s our movie review deal and you’re getting whether you like it or not. We’re taking a trip back to the days where people went over to stores to rent movies for a couple of days. This is because movies hated us just as much but they still needed our money. And they couldn’t just hook up the milking machine like they do now. That’s right, the nineties which people swear is the worst decade but only because they preferred the eighties. We dual review the Costner vehicle, Untouchables(1987). It’s about the kooky time when America decided that having fun should be illegal. …

This week on Anime Pulse we got poor communication, dream adaptations, and cracked stones. Up first the IRL news is in and out like a light, going straight into the community stuff. Then in the industry news we talk about the freedom of a nine tailed fox, some old anime that men like, and optical illusions. Lastly the reviews have Joseph becoming the translator for a bad communicator, and Andrew powers up to Super Cohost 3 to fight off some Egyptian gods.

Well the request start coming and they don’t stop coming. And they don’t stop coming. And they don’t stop coming. And they don’t stop…brrrrrttt. Sorry. The vinyl was stuck again. That’s what happens when you buy your record player off of alibaba. I guess it’s back to eBay and estate sales because I’m not buying a nearly two thousand dollar Technics turntable. I don’t care what the tweed wearing audiophile who has been saving up for a trip to Singapore says. Tim has Burn the Witch. It’s Tite Kubo taking a swing at something that’s not Bleach. There are Witches, I guess, and they kill dragons. See dragons are everywhere …

Up first Joseph has begun his journey with the three houses of Fire Emblem, and Andrew wants to know what our biggest adaption disappointments are. Then in the industry news we see a tick up in wages for Bandi employees, uneven wages for animations across the gambit, and Crunchyroll consuming Funimation leftovers. Finally in the reviews Joseph becomes a backup plan for a goddess to take out the hero, and Andrew leads a bunch of children around avoiding hungry monsters in a disappointing sequel.
