Anime Pulse

Hello it's Andrew, just Andrew (and guest). I also have Whisky, be afraid. This week the community about anime that should have been aborted early. With news I cover 2 of my favourite things to talk about lately, censorship and Umamusume. And finally we have a guest review from long time listener BioMegaBear who is doing battle while possessing battle Barbie's while I spend Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter dying of cringe. 💀

Man, how about that economy? It sure is contentious. How about those clowns in congress? Have you heard about the latest gaffe? With current events out of the way, we can take you mind off of them with the soothing balm of our voices and manga. So put on your headphones and tune the world out while we give you our trademark dual review(not actually trademarked). First up is Tim with Countach. Now if you’re not into historical supercars, that might sound like some good old fashioned mumbly jumbly. It is the name of a famous model by La...

This week on VG Pulse, we have a nice short and sweet show! We start off with side notes of work and upcoming medical things, before we dive into the regular news where we discuss data breaches, Sony’s ongoing disc less parade, Twitch doing shady Twitch things, and a very very old lawsuit that somehow only just reached resolution! After the news, I give my review of ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs, and Millennium gives his review of Forza Horizon 6! We finish off with talk of anime and some real good produce! All this and more up next on VGP 439!! -A...

It seems there’s another superhero movie out and we need to watch it. Who’s making this demand of us? No one in particular that we can point to. It’s just a sort of need. We can feel it. They call to us. Like the pirates of a certain ship in a much better movie. So we watched Supergirl[2026]. Superman’s cousin is not like other superheroes. She drinks and she has a dog. She likes to part and fuck around away from earth. Also she’s not like Clark, have we mentioned she’s not like Clark? Until a sad...

This week on Anime Pulse we got vacation hype, shoNO, and side character death battles. Up first IRL news with Andrew winning a PvP cup in the horse gatcha, and Joseph is upgrading his departure to Florida for peak comfort. Then in the industry news there is none! Lastly more reviews before whatever comes next week, as Joseph picks up a broken keyboard to use as a machine gun and Andrew meets IRyS while cleaning her apartment but she's not who he expected!

We recently were watching a show, a British show, where the host cheekily complained about making so many custom intros for their show. Wow, that must be a lot of intros that they’ve done. Let us look up and take count. Two hundred, that must be a lot. If you’re some sort of amateur. We beat the pants off of that. Of course we forgive the anglo for thinking they work. Tim has Domu. This is by the author of Akira and was published right after. You can tell because the thrust of things is a psychic old man...

This week on Anime Pulse we got love triangles, layoffs, and camping alone but someone joins you. First up IRL news is here with Andrew fearing he may be losing his edge in Street Fighter, and Joseph's full-time job handed out some bad news. Then in the industry news a Japanese woman was arrested for ghosting on her anime purchases. Finally we have returned to reviews! Joseph goes camping by himself only to find a random woman stripping near his tent, and Andrew washes his clothes and the clothes of others.

This week on VG Pulse, we still have a bit of a spicy showing, though not quite as spicy as last show! We start off with side notes of work and general life ongoings, before we dive into the regular news where we discuss the quickly evolving Sony disk less future situation, Bethesda being forced to actually make plans, the EU’s approval towards the Saudi Arabia EA acquisition, and an FBI case of rather impressive proportions!! After the newz Millennium gives his review on his new Moza Racing R9V3 racing wheel, and I give a review ofPeglin!! We fi...

Summer time when the manga is easy. At least as easy to come by as it always is. Not that we would ever let any kind of difficulties get in our way. We’re not so easily kept from our task of manga review. Grab some sorbet and pop in your headphones because we’ve got two manga and a couple of scores to give them. Tim has Ichi the Witch. Ichi is a dude, a little dude who hunts. He lives in a world where there are witches and they’re always ladies. These ladies go off to magic school...

This week on Anime Pulse we got wasp swarms, hacking ghosts, and no community!? Up first IRL news sees Andrew back in London but not before going on the run of a lifetime, and Joseph found himself on the receiving end of a buzzing menace. Then in the industry news, there is none! And without any community segment, because Andrew got a bit sidetracked with IRL life things, that means the final previews centric show sees things out. Joseph discovers there's a reincarnated skeleton in his body made up of 100 girlfriends, Andrew transforms into a giant lizard that is totally...

Let’s hop into the Tardis and take you back to a simpler time. Hold up your sporks and prepare to ship Sherlock with the Onceler. Do you remember when Johnny Depp was basically just Jack Sparrow in every damn movie? Let us remind you with Mortdecai[2015]. Depp plays the titular lord Mordecai. He’s English and he has a bad mustache. That’s a whole recurring joke they drive into the ground faster than a Robin Reliant strapped to a rocket. He has a wife, Gweneth Paltrow, and a rival in Ewan Mcgregor who’s horny for her. He’s deep in...

This week on Anime Pulse we got painful thighs, revenge, and alternate realities. Up first IRL with Andrew has him back in his homeland seeing family, and Joseph took his first bike ride in 20 years. Then in the industry news a big studio hit below the profit goal. Finally another round of previews to see us out with Joseph dying as a corporate slave tomb raider and reincarnating as a rearguard who has to play otome games, and Andrew goes on a foodie roadtrip after becoming a maid who crushed her homeland with books.

It’s been hot folks. The depths of summer have arrived along with the heat. We’re living through some wonderful triple digits for those of us that use freedom units. The rest of the world can just be wrong and measure weather with an imprecise system made up by, gag, the French. You’d think that alone would be enough to convince the rest of the world to abandon it. Also, we still have manga reviews. Up first is Tim with I’m Nearly 30, but This is My First Love. We have a twenty eight year old woman, Yamamoto who is f...

This week on Anime Pulse we got old men in various shapes, Wingstop, and community submitted anime characters. Up first Andrew is just doing the usual to get back in shape, and Joseph visited a new chain restaurant. Then in the industry news, does anyone care that Akira is being rereleased on big film? And more previews for the summer as Joseph defeats the demon lord only to find out he's been forced to move to the countryside and retire as a swordsman, while Andrew invents electricity to poison a lion while he dances with a femboy.

This week on VG Pulse, things get extra spicy! We start out with side notes of rocks, before diving into the regular news where we discuss Sony’s amazing series of L maneuvers over the last few weeks and the ongoing fallout, Xbox thinking of following in Sony’s L path, and the ESA making some wild claims in their fight against SKG!! After the news we go over the discord discussions, and end off with some very spicy and divisive talk of anime!! All this and more up next on VGP 437!!! -Aki Music Intro – Tetris A Theme Guitar Cover by Fam...

It’s movie time for the Popcorn gentlemen. Which normally means a three-fer of a review. We like to shake it up every once in awhile and do two dual reviews. It doesn’t take us any less work but then you get less reviews. Or maybe you get better analysis because we’ve both focused on the two films. Rather than simply reacting to what the other remembers, infallibly, about their individual watch. First up is The Best Offer[2013]. Geoffrey Rush plays Virgil Oldman. Like the Kojima character he’s modeled off of, Virgil is old and a man. He’s an...

This week on Anime Pulse we got a return with previews, a return with no news, and a return with stuff. I dunno, does anyone even read these? Anyways, up first IRL news with Joseph having done a whole lot of nothing the past week and Andrew touches on his trip. No industry news this week because the website tried to charge Andrew a subscription, so community it is with displacement theory. Lastly are the previews as Joseph reincarnates after defeating the demon lord into a dragon cat whose classes in heavy knight, and Andrew chain smokes 500 manga issues behind...

Bada bing, bada boo, we got a manga show for you. Yes, we could have said bada boom. It wouldn’t have had the same impact. Rhyming is paramount and what we were aiming for, after all. Not that it rhymed very well or anything. Look, we just have to get something down and desperation makes for a pushy mistress as the deadline looms. Either way, we still have a pair of manga. First up is Tim with Monsters We Make. It’s an OEL set in the future year of XX. You see there was something of a disaster and...

Hey guys, remember random monkey things? Like monkey pirate ninjas? Well what if they were carriers of a super infections disease that ate your face and turned you into a puddle of goo within two days? We sort of have that going on with today’s movie, Outbreak(1995). It’s about a disease that crops up in Africa in the sixties. It’s carried by capuchins because then they’re not quite as horrifying as something like a chimp. The military bombs the outbreak spot after collecting a sample. Fast forward to modern day, the nineties, and there’s a new outbre...

This week on Anime Pulse we got sunburn, abrupt endings, and bland isekai. Up first in the IRL news Andrew is feeling a bit under the weather, and Joseph suffered three ways while doing yard work. Then in the industry news the Japanese government is centralizing anime. Lastly another round of reviews see Joseph gathering up the scraps of adventure in an isekai, and Andrew revvs a chainsaw while riding a shark into a tornado.

This week on VG Pulse, Aki is extra ‘splody among all the Not-E3 madness!! We start off with sidenotes of why Aki ‘sploded last week, before diving into the regular news where we discuss GTA6’s price reveal, Steam’s new computer, and then we go over our thoughts and reactions to the various Not-E3 shows from this year!! We continue on with a discussion about the age of a fictional character, and more proof that age verification sucks!! We finish off with talk of anime!! All this and more up next on VGP 436!! -Aki Music Intro – Tetris A Theme Guitar Cov...

Welcome to our fishery. Old Two Cut Tuna. Named because we always take two slices out for ourselves. It’s a tradition we started since we did manga reviews. At least that’s what we’d like to be called if we did guided fishing tours. Having seen the cost of boats and fuel, we’ll stick to manga reviews. With that, we have two like we often do. First up is Tim with XoGenasys. It’s the future and Darisu Smith is a kid in the future. He fights with other school kids and has a sister. His fighting prowess ge...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Discord bans, Seven Deadly Golfers, and how to torture the podcast hosts. Up first IRL news has Andrew back from his brief trip, and Joseph has begun his lawn mowing Unc arc. Then in the industry news, Hololive will be returning to the baseball field. Finally the reviews come fast with Joseph waking up with boobs, OP powers, and terribly obvious villains. Andrew however is on more familiar grounds, hitting those birdies and being trained by a baddie.

Open the hatch. Seriously, it’s damp down here at the bottom of the ocean and a bit cold. Plus we just saw bits of the Titan sub go floating by. We don’t want to have to wade through anymore of the compressed people bits than may exist already. The cleverer of you may have sussed out that the oceanic intro signals a water based movie. Which brings us to a Norwiegian film, Kraken[2026]. The plot is there’s a salmon fishery in Norway that is dealing with a fictional parasite. They use sonic technology, and not just sonic or hyp...

Things are better in twos. Four wheels good? Two wheels better. Four legs good? Two legs better. That’s why our reviews come in pairs. At least for the manga. The movies are a whole other ball game inside a kettle of fish. Are we mixing metaphors and aphorisms? You betcha, because that’s two and two is better. First up is Tim with a webtoon, The Player Hides His Past. The premise is there was a popular game that suddenly went offline and the CEO disappeared. Shortly afterwards, gates opened up, monsters started attacking, and everyone that was a play...

This week on Anime Pulse we got careless heroes, remakes, and disappointing burgers. Up first IRL news with Andrew punishing an Ingrid player who counted their chicken before they hatched, and Joseph went to a place called Herbie's Burgers for a very sad mouthful experience. Then in the industry news there is no industry news! Lastly the reviews close things out as Joseph becomes a very bored Goku, and Andrew eats some fingers to fight in a culling game.

Welcome back to Manga review racing. Where we track the fastest manga reviewers. As this is the off season they’re going to talk about movies. Turning around we have something about pilots, planes, and a scowling Clint Eastwood. That’s right, a movie you’ve never heard of, Firefox(1982). Clint Eastwood is a retired pilot who fought in Vietnam. The US Government wants to drag him back in because the Soviets have a plane. This super secret plane has a neural interface and the test pilot is the same size as Clint. Ignoring that a man who is six feet f...

This week on Anime Pulse we got mountain climbing, low calorie hentai, and the best holiday episode in anime. Up first IRL news rolls in with Andrew dodging smurfing Ingrid players, and Joseph had the saltiest fried dough on Earth. Then in the industry news the mangaka of Gachiakuta deleted their X account. And finally the reviews close us out with Joseph attempting to shut down Japan’s breeding program, and Andrew obey’s his master and swims through a super creek before reaching the ouguri cap. Show Notes Music Intro – “Japanese Style Trap Beat” by Annex from Royalty Free Anime Musi...

This week on VG Pulse, how does one escape California???? We start off with side notes of Millennium’s new gaming wheel situation, before diving into the regular news where we discuss Takashi Tezuka’s well-earned retirement, some updates to Apple and Epic’s continued lawsuit, more internet screaming over AI, and the fact that the new Steam controller screams when you drop it!! After the news we go over the discord discussions, and finish off with talk of anime! All this and more up next on VGP 435!! -Aki Music Intro – Gerudo Valley – Ocarina of Time – Guitar Cover by FamilyJules Outro – Dwar...

Two is better than one, at least when it comes to coatings. You need a nice solid clear coat to protect your paint. And to keep that nice and safe, you should apply a nice sacrificial coating like wax. Our manga reviews are like that wax, our sacrifice for your entertainment. Going so far as to take on manga that’s requested as well. First up is Tim with a request in Red River. It’s a nineties manga and is it a blast from the past. It’s about a Japanese high school girl with shojo legs who ends up in...

This week on Anime Pulse we got jail breaks, dull apocalypses, and horrible combat. Up first IRL news with Andrew slam jamming his opponents in Street Fighter as Ken, and Joseph slogged his way through Lust Planet to play a better game about killing aliens. Then in the industry news a bell rung for peace is silenced for peaceful reasons, and apparently isekai is bad for the industry. Lastly the reviews with Joseph sitting around a dark forest being super dull and doing a heck of a lot of nothing, while Andrew chases his dream of being the best Uma...

This week on Anime Pulse we got Santas, xeno scum, and golden ball hunting. Up first Andrew is pushing himself to go even further beyond, and Joseph wrapped up his time playing Rebel Galaxy. Then in the industry news there is nothing! So we talk Christmas instead. Lastly a rare fusion review! Joseph and Andrew link forces to watch a dorky guy and a genki girl interlock fingers, fight mongolian death worms, and deal with a really annoying cousin.

This week on Anime Pulse we got ageless magicians, the best goth baddies, and raises. Up first is the IRL news where Andrew returned to being the 2nd best M. Bison player in his region, and Joseph took a leap of faith and asked his boss for a raise. (sort of ) Then in the industry news the crunchiest roll becomes a little crunchier. And finally a rare gattai show has things see us out with Joseph shooting water jets from his hands at demon lords, and Andrew creates his own magic to control the season all to win $50,000,000.

This week on VG Pulse, we actually review some things??? GASP!! We start off with side notes of work and rare trading cards, before we dive into the regular news where Microsoft is going back to XBOX branding again, the steam controller’s price and release date is revealed, Sony got caught doing shady shit, and Game Stop is once again eating glue in the corner! After the news we finally get to some reviews! I give my review on Retro Rewind, and Millennium rapid reviews five games back to back! We finish off with side notes of anime! All th...

Let’s start off with a joke. What comes after sunset? Knight time! What better way to segue into the movie we have. It’s all about knights but not the last one. Also it’s a tale about a knight but not a knight’s tale. It’s about the last ones, the Last Knights[2015], if you will. There was no more after this. They were all clearanced out and we moved on to things like surfers. So Clive Owen is a knight and he serves Morgan Freeman. They’re both under an Emperor and there’s an evil finance man wh...

This week on Anime Pulse we got more previews? Yeah, remember when Joseph said last show was the last previews show? He lied. Up first is IRL news with Andrew has regained his audio quality, and Joseph did his first mow of the year. Then in the industry news we have nothing, but community makes up for it with anime original characters. And finally those pesky previews have Joseph attempting to save his lesbian sister from breaking up with her girlfriend by finding a lover himself, and Andrew performs food rakugo to reunite modern day Japan under one banner.

Oh no, you just posted cringe! You are going to lose subscriber! Jokes on you, buddy, we always post cringe. We are creatures of embarrassment, shaped by these experiences as much as our victories. We don’t like it but we do not fight it like some people. We do a manga review show so there’s something of a floor to the expectation we just have to accept. To that end, Tim has Rick and Morty The Manga. What this is, is not an adaptation of various episodes made into a comic by clipping screenshots. Unlike some Original English Lang...

This week on Anime Pulse we got our final round of just previews, pink hair, and being a space cowboy. Up first IRL news where Andrew is now an uncle x2, and Joseph has been warping around space to sell green whisky. Then in the industry news, we got none, because this time around we got quite a preview line up for ya. Speaking of which, the previews! Joseph returns to Earth after battling space kaiju only to find it frozen, Andrew enters a debt game while refusing to drink the wine, and both try to make it to a...

This week on VG Pulse, the internet can be an exhausting place sometimes!! We start off with side notes of work, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the ongoing hunt for the phantom dragon of AI, the exciting upcoming release of S&box, Google Play removing Doki Doki Literature Club so long after its release for… some reason…, Valve continuing to win at life, and Rockstar getting rewarded for doing the right thing!! After the news we go over the discord discussions, and end off with talk of food and anime!! All this and more up next on V...

The impossible has finally come to pass. Star Citizen has been release in full, fully realized. It’s sweeping awards in every category and Netflix has already paid the studio one billion dollars to adapt it to streaming. Or maybe Chuck Norris has passed and rather suddenly. Which at least prompted a resurgence of old internet memes. To that effect though, we have Code of Silence(1985). Chuck Norris is a cop and he does cop things. This means doing raids and beating up nameless henchmen. A rich girl gets kidnapped by a cartel in response to the successful raids, there’s a...
