More sent manga makes its way into our PO box which means we have yet more to review. We gladly take requests because we like to please. And we’re lazy. We’ve mentioned that before but ease of reading saves us a lot of trouble when it comes to this and it keeps us from getting into a genre rut. Which could easily make the show turn stale faster than a rice cake in a Louisiana summer. Tim gets sent Golosseum. There’s an alternate, maybe, future where Putin has a number of bracelets that prevent damage from bullets and radiation but allow fighting moves to penetrate. As such there’s now a … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 390: Apocalosseum"

Anime Pulse has finally made it out of the previews for the Fall season, meaning we're back into reviews. We start off with Joseph burning an old computer desk during Thanksgiving, and Andrew covering the community section. IRL news hits us with China arresting BL authors, low dating numbers in Japan, and the continuation of the My Sister, My Writer saga. The review this week, because there's just one, is a joint review of making lemonade when life hands you death.

If there’s on thing that movies have taught us is that all real estate developers are evil. Whether it’s attempting to tear down a youth center or buying the foreclosed home from a grandma, they’d powder orphan and snort it if they thought it would help them get rich or high. To that end, we watched Rocknrolla[2008]. It’s about a shady British land developer who rooks a couple of criminals for their investment money, keeps the land and tries to sell it to a Russian. The Russian loans him a painting which then gets stolen and threatens the deal. Everyone and everything crashes into each other towards the end because … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 94: A Cure for Rock"

And finally we knock out the final round of previews for Fall 2018, with Joseph grabbing some Imoutos and being nostalgic and Andrew cracking down on drugs and cute girls doing ninja things.

More manga incoming on the review request train. Now reading licensed, unlicensed, fanilations, and doujins. Not all of those will be reviewed of course. Licensed manga deserves no attention from us considering they don’t send us review copies. Which of course if why we’re not only reviewing licensed manga but adaptations of video games. Tim reviews The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask. Which is, coincidentally, the last Zelda game he bothered to play. He tried to make excuses about how hard it was to keep up and how it’s not worth buying a separate console for a couple of games. As far as the manga, he’s thrown that Link isn’t … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 389: A Link to Manga"

Anime Pulse is back, no breaks, no cuts, no more vacations... at least for the foreseeable future.

And lastly the Previews are still here with Joseph rolling around in fluffy demons and making babies to save the world, and Andrew shuffling alongside zombie idols and yuri vampires
