This week on Anime Pulse we got springtime fever with a brand spanking new round of previews, the places to catch a quick and unique bite to eat, and a fantasy hero so powerful he can create an endless supply of A1 printer paper. Up first IRL news as Joseph licks his wounds after a sound thrashing by Andrew in Mario party, and our community topic this week is all about what animes bring to life that theme of Spring. Then in the industry news we got some weird looking and sounding "burgers" in Japan, and the new schedule for Dragon Ball Super following the hacking attack. Lastly we're at it with a new season of anime previews, as Joseph confesses his undying love to an enemy general after being rejected by humanity and Andrew fights to stay alive after entering a friendship game to uncover the truth behind the death of his best friend.

What happens when you don’t pick a film until the last minute? Wild guesses and titles are thrown out. It’s like a bingo night where everyone’s deaf, the caller is reading from the phone book, and no one is a winner. That’s how we end up with movie picks like Love Potion No 9(1992). Tate Donovan is a loser who’s got a crush on Sandra Bullock who is also a loser. This sort of changes when he gets a love potion from a gypsy. He manages to isolate the compound and distill it down. He and Sandra then go out and test and maybe abuse the ability to make people …

This week on Anime Pulse we got the death of a legend, a gender swapping fox, and V-Tubers. First up Joseph feels a little bad he had to call the cops on his neighbors, and Andrew is asking us to list off some of our favorite virtual youtube personalities. Then in the industry news we have answers as to why Toei got hacked, and some dumb bitch at Funimation talks out her ass. Finally in the reviews, the last for the season, we have Joseph ditching the Hero to enjoy that slow life with a hot princess, and Andrew is tricked into becoming a god and then tricked again into contracting with a demonic fox.

What time is it? Manga time. Not just any manga but dos, dos dos manga! Which you should really be expecting now. Unless you’re one of those weirdos who’s tuning in for the very first time. We’re not saying you’re unwelcome but we’ve got our eyes on you. One from each of us. The other is busy watching the souffle. Tim has Burning Effect. It’s the future and, like most fictional futures, the world has gotten worse. Apparently people live too long and overpopulate everything. So they make all crime carry the death penalty so they can execute some mother fuckers. This does not result in a helmeted class of …

about his April Fool's prank on his super boss, and Andrew wants to know what genres in anime we do not like. Then in the industry news we get a follow up on the sentencing of Galko-chan's artist, Japan force feeding tourists sushi, and Satoshikon. Lastly the reviews see us out with Joseph being very moot on a Paladin who did not need to be reincarnated, and Andrew drops by a pet shop to buy himself a rather exotic animal that surely won't kill him.

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.
