Ze Shows Anime Pulse

Have you heard tale of the masked man? No, not Batman. This guy rides a horse. No, not the Lone Ranger. Or the Phantom. Ok look, we’re talking about Zorro today, alright? Yes, the Spanish sword fighting man who dons black and names himself the Spanish word for fox. Which may make him the worlds first furry. First up, we have The Mask of Zorro(1998). This is probably one of the better received incarnations in recent memory. Antonio Banderas plays a man rescued by an aged Zorro, Anthony Hopkins, who is seeking revenge on his mortal enemy. Antonio is trained in the ways of the sword and horse by Hopkins. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 226: Fuckin Zorro"

What year is it, you might ask as you look over the listings for local movies. “The Crow?” You say, beleaguered and weary. The dust of sleep making you sound like Kermit the Frog while recovering from laryngitis. You should seek out those stalwart reviewers of manga to steady your nerves. Perhaps a good discussion of a pair of manga by a pair of hosts will settle your time vertigo. Tim has The Last Doctors Think of You Whenever They Look up to Cherry Blossoms.

We like to do theme episodes. Sometimes we choose them because of an actor’s passing. Sometimes a renewal of interest in a genre. This time we seem to have a theme but we couldn’t tell you why. Maybe there was a grip who worked on both of them. It’s a sort of mystery that’s outside of our pay grade. We start with Guarding Tess(1994). Nicolas Cage is a super special United States Secret Service agent. So special he’s guarding a former first lady played by Shirley MacLaine. They have their differences and with him being button down and focused on protocol and her chafing at the rules of the USSS. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 225: Fire Tess"

Everyone, may I have your attention please? Listen up, I need everybody to stop what you’re doing. I’m Axel Foley, Federal Anime Inspector, everyone stop drawing, inking.

Is it really that time again? Oh crap, we have to pick a manga. Or two. We could probably go through the requests. But that would take some sort of effort. Everyone knows we don’t ply effort to things like selection. That’s reserved for silly things like selecting the toppings for carryout or gently handling golf clubs. We did find two, in spite of the effort it took. We hope you enjoy the discussion they’re sure to prompt. Tim has Director Kim. Hey, that rhymes.

All aboard! Maniacal laughter echoing into the distance. What do you mean, don’t say that part? It’s written in the script you gave me. I don’t know what kind of amateur hour circus you have going here. You’re clearly hiring me to do a knock off introduction of Crazy Train which will probably get you copyright struck.

Tim has one more visit to Yankee JK Kuzuhana. If you recall, this is the manga where our protagonist, Saotome, is attending a business school.
