This week on Anime Pulse we got Christmas gifts, ol' saint Nick, and the last supper of an overextended anime. Up first IRL news is a bit different as Joseph and Andrew exchange their gifts in the 2nd annual Anime Pulse gift exchange. Then in the industry news we have what should be the final entry in the Act Age legal saga, U.K. McDonalds updating their menu with Curry Nuggets, and some little boys and girls won't be getting their limited edition figurines this year. And finally in the reviews Joseph begrudgingly finishes the final dish Food Wars hands him, and Andrew gets the best gift of all; a little sister!

This week on Anime Pulse we got the worst anime of 2020, the satisfying end to a RomCom series, and hoop earrings. Up first Joseph gets snowed in and worn out trying to dig back to civilization, and Andrew is looking into our top picks for worst of the worst in 2020. Afterwards comes Industry News with a teacher being asked to remove her hoops, ANN's preemptive discussion censoring of an anime, and a man made of chainsaws. Finally in the reviews Joseph enjoys the end of a fish-eyed romance, and Andrew joins a college for witches by stepping on some flowers.

So imagine that this year is a really ominous night club. We’re all on stage at once, doing something of a talent show. And every time the audience of faceless demons is displeased, one of us is selected and thrown into a pit. Apparently someone dropped their spinning plates and so they took Chadwick Bosemen. We double team 21 Bridges[2019]. What happens when two criminals decide to rob a drug exchange? It surely goes perfectly well and they end up enriching themselves and retiring from a life of crime. Maybe they’ll settle down and start a little bakery, have a pair of families. Look after each other’s children like they were their own. Or they offend …

This week on VG Pulse, we came out of hibernation! We start off with side notes of all the goings on of the last month and a half, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the amazing dumpster fire that was Cyberpunk 2077’s current incarnation, the results of the Game Awards, and Among Us’s new map!

We finish off with talk of food, anime, and YouTube! All this and more up next on VGP 357!! -Aki Music Intro …

This week on Anime Pulse we got forgetful anime, Demon Slayer being loved more than mom or dad, and Pocky. Up first Joesph heavily regrets his drinking decision from last week, and Andrew thinks we should all put our anime time to better use. Then in the Industry News the topics are brining charges against the bad guy who set fire to Kyoto Animation, and AT&T begins the selling process for Crunchyroll. And lastly in reviews Joseph is forced to participate in a war for perverts, and Andrew forgets everything so a bunch of pretty boys can help him remember.

Sometimes there are things that pop culture discussion revolves around for a hot minute. These things are usually forgotten by the time something more interesting come along. Like what kind of vaginal worms some Instagram “influencer” has been using to tighten up the old hallway. Tim revisits one of those controversial and forgotten Rise of the Shield Hero. We left off with our protagonist, mister Shield, had obtained an animal girl slave to do his attacking. He’s been working on gathering ingredients and helping people as he levels up. While the aristocracy is clearly still against him, he’s making inroads with common folk and soldiers. It keeps a solid Read It Now. Weltall has Uzaki-chan Wants …

This week on Anime Pulse we got smashing fingers, feel good anime, and the feeling of NTR. Up first IRL brings us Joseph making some BBQ Turkey breasts, and Andrew needs a little anime pick me up. Afterwards the industry news brings us topics like whiskey aged KitKats, confirmation on the Code Geass teasers, and emergency reprints needed for the new Haruhi LN. And lastly we're back into regular reviews as Joseph lets a girl slip inside him to fight monsters, and Magical Girl Andrew Chan must battle an evil phone app.

Remember last year? People used to smile more. Also there was a new Doom movie. Because we hadn’t had one of those for a good long while. It was shopped around for a distributor to send to theaters. When no one bit, it was off to see if a streaming service would take it. When even nutflux can’t be bothered to offer a pittance, you know it’s bad. So we have it, direct from video, Doom Annihilation[2019]. It stars a bunch of actors wishing they could be has beens. There’s an experiment using strange carved rocks to teleport between earth and mars. Which turns out to let demons, or something similar, into our world. Don’t …

This week on Anime Pulse we got the next big COVID tea-ment, your favorite 'trash' anime, and hot women climbing rocks. Up first, IRL news with Joseph stealing bikes off the railroad tracks and Andrew is going full hobo and digging through our trash. Afterwards the Industry News rolls around with an author trying to get out scot free of touching underaged girls, being sued for junking your boyfriends hobby, and hints at a future Code Geass project. Lastly wrap up our Gattai shows as Joseph asks what love if good for, and Andrew climbs a stone wall to break out a murderer.

Six ways from Sunday, any which way you can get a box of rocks. That’s how you get ready for Halloween when Mr Brown comes round. You could throw it at him but it’s more cruel to just put it in his sack. This allows him hope and the upcoming disappointment is so much richer. Tim has Ingoshima. A whole class of high school students are taking a vaction. In manga fashion, they’re going as a class to help thin familia ties. Unlike a lot of manga, the vacation is not to a nearby beach in Japan and requires a boat ride. This goes bad and they end up shipwrecked on an island where cannibals attack. It gets …
