Ze Shows Anime Pulse

Twice as nice for have the price. That’s our movie review deal and you’re getting whether you like it or not. We’re taking a trip back to the days where people went over to stores to rent movies for a couple of days. This is because movies hated us just as much but they still needed our money. And they couldn’t just hook up the milking machine like they do now. That’s right, the nineties which people swear is the worst decade but only because they preferred the eighties. We dual review the Costner vehicle, Untouchables(1987). It’s about the kooky time when America decided that having fun should be illegal. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 169: Untouchable State"

This week on Anime Pulse we got poor communication, dream adaptations, and cracked stones. Up first the IRL news is in and out like a light, going straight into the community stuff. Then in the industry news we talk about the freedom of a nine tailed fox, some old anime that men like, and optical illusions. Lastly the reviews have Joseph becoming the translator for a bad communicator, and Andrew powers up to Super Cohost 3 to fight off some Egyptian gods.

Well the request start coming and they don’t stop coming. And they don’t stop coming. And they don’t stop coming. And they don’t stop…brrrrrttt. Sorry. The vinyl was stuck again. That’s what happens when you buy your record player off of alibaba. I guess it’s back to eBay and estate sales because I’m not buying a nearly two thousand dollar Technics turntable. I don’t care what the tweed wearing audiophile who has been saving up for a trip to Singapore says. Tim has Burn the Witch. It’s Tite Kubo taking a swing at something that’s not Bleach. There are Witches, I guess, and they kill dragons. See dragons are everywhere … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 464: Dissolving Witch"

This week on VG Pulse, explosions and weak sauce abound! We start off with news of injuries delaying our recordings, before diving into the regular news where we discuss video game publishers and developers blocking sales of games in Russia, video game footage being passed around as real wartime footage, some of the announcements made at this week’s State Of Play, and Elden Ring being awesome!! After the news we head on off into the Discord Discussions, Millennium gives his review on Mudrunner, and we finish off with talk of anime and the new Pokémon games!! All this and more up next on VGP 372!! -Aki Music Intro – Konami … Continue reading "VG Pulse 372: In Deep S**t"

This week on Anime Pulse we got unfulfilled promises, pink doughnuts, and amazing weather. Up first Joseph has begun his journey with the three houses of Fire Emblem, and Andrew wants to know what our biggest adaption disappointments are. Then in the industry news we see a tick up in wages for Bandi employees, uneven wages for animations across the gambit, and Crunchyroll consuming Funimation leftovers. Finally in the reviews Joseph becomes a backup plan for a goddess to take out the hero, and Andrew leads a bunch of children around avoiding hungry monsters in a disappointing sequel.

Put your ears on and grow out the porn-stache. We’ve dipped into that hazy era known as the seventies. Who better to guide us all through that wild time than Burt Reynolds? Give him a pair of smoked aviators, a classic muscle car, a song written for a film and you’ve got a movie. Thus we have the classic Smokey and the Bandit(1977). The plot is that a Texas oil baron and his son bet that Burt can’t get an order of Coors to them within twenty eight hours. Because there was once a time when that beer, now synonymous with terrible American beer, was hard to get in some … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 168: Bandit Smokes"

This week on Anime Pulse we got evolving fruit, our favorite isekai, and more Spice and Wolf. First up Joseph had a snow day and is doing his best to calm down editing Joseph, meanwhile Andrew wants to know what our favorite isekai are. Then in the industry news some thieves have been stealing something in plain sight, Kyoto Animation wants you to break them off a piece, and Studio Ghibli makes a lamp. Finally the reviews have Joseph take a bite out of some really nasty tasting fruit and lose 30 lbs, and Andrew learns the hard way that isekai is not all fun and games.

What’s this? I don’t know if it’s the booze or not but I’m seeing double. Two manga reviews in the same show? We take the heavy effort of picking up the books, reading them, then scrambling to get the equipment fired up and working. We might also develop some sort of opinion about them and apply a rating. Once we’ve wandered off into the weeds so far we’re finding golf balls. Tim has Ninja Slayer Kills. A manga which has a wild backstory we dig into a little within the show. The face of it is mostly straight forward. Tokyo of the future is suddenly plagued by the resurrected spirits … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 463: Samwise Ninja"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Himalayan burgers, magical courtrooms, and technical difficulties in multiplayer. Up first is the usual IRL news as Joseph has finally moved forward in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Andrew asks us for our top wizards/mages in anime. Then in the industry news it's a solo helping from Joseph, as he wishes his digestive system was 10 years younger so he could partake of a stupid large burger. Finally in the tail end of the show the reviews wrap things up with Joseph revealing the true anime of year from 2021, and Andrew represents two separate yet equally important groups: The police, who investigate magical crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the wizards.

Ring ring, rookie. Scarf a pop tart and knock back a double cup of coffee. Night shift starts in fifteen minutes. No one cares if your work shirt hasn’t been laundered. Slather on some deodorant and hop on the bus. You’re going for a ride in Bringing out the Dead(1999). We’re reaching back in the career of one Nic Cage. Back when his visage wasn’t on every straight to red box dvd film. Follow along as a burnt out paramedic works a three day weekend in New York City. Alongside Tom Sizemore’s insanity and his co-costar the baseball bat. Join us as we dig into why this Scorsese film just … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 167: Murder Dead"

favorite romantic dates in anime. Then in the industry news the potatoes come up short again but this time not for McDonalds, and Crunchyroll hold a totally fair and honest poll on the best anime of late year. Lastly the reviews see us out with Joseph delving deep into the darkest dungeon, and Andrew attempts to deal with a boisterous troublemaker who confesses his love for him.

Let’s see. Bills. Junk mail. Offers to buy a house the show doesn’t own. Vote Romney for President? How long has it been since we’ve looked at our inbox proper? Not that long because we have some requests which we address. And much quicker than we do letters to the editor for some defunct BDSM magazine we keep getting. Tim has Boruto. The sequel to Naruto that no one asked for. Set years after Naruto has gotten the spot as hokage and married Hinata. Also they have kids and the one named Boruto doesn’t want to be hokage. Also he might hate being a ninja but wants Sasuke to train … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 462: Burrito Hunting"

This week on Anime Pulse we got square burgers, ultra cringe harems, and goofy antagonists. Up first the IRL news has Joseph shoveling himself out of ice and snow, and Andrew runs his first Mario Party stream. Then in the industry news we make a sandwich out of Andrew with updates on the Potato Shortage and an author not being able to handle the criticisms. Lastly is the final Gattai show as Joseph awakens to find he's one of the last men alive and must make cosplay for all the women, and Andrew sells some fruits out of a basket.

Just like the Twin Galaxies we hold absolutely all the world records. Unsurprisingly they are all related to our own show. Most consecutive episodes of Popcorn Pulse? For the one hundredth and sixty sixth time it goes to us…us! Take that, podcasts which aren’t even in the running. We decided that we’d go to a modern release with Matrix Resurrections[2022]. Did you guess it would be garbage? Then pat yourself on the back for your sudden burgeoning psychic abilities or just having pattern recognition. We get into why we believe this movie isn’t worth your time even if you were pirating it. Weltall has The Debt Collector[2018]. Say you’re a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 166: Matrix Debt"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Joseph passing on an isekai, the philosophy behind what counts as artificial life, and a really dumb looking ad. Up first the IRL news has Joseph excited for his new iMac, and Andrew asks us what our favorite robots in anime are. Then in the industry news we got a Joseph Sandwich with rice balls between a biscuit and America, was that a bit vague? Too bad! Listen to the show to understand what we're talking about. And lastly is a return of the Gattai, as Joseph resurrects himself into a better isekai and Andrew becomes god.

Warning, awkward audio dips as we kept looking away from the mics. We made some adjustments to the output but it’s still going to be off a bit. Let’s say, hypothetically, you wanted to listen to a show. Also hypothetically, you had access to two of the most hinged people on the internet? Yes, I said hinged. These men, titans among capybaras, are the polar opposite of unhinged. They might even be standing right next to based. Also they have a pair of manga with reviews of each for you to enjoy. Tim has Bouquet for an Ugly Girl. There seems to be some disagreement about the title and may … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 461: Ugly Black"

And lastly in the previews Joseph debates how to best rebuild his kingdom after trying to secretly sell it off, and Andrew gets raised in the 24th Ward before heading to a prestigious school where he wears a Sailor uniform.

This week on VG Pulse, it’s been a slow and weird month! We start off with side notes of the weird slog that is January, before diving into the regular news where we discuss Take Two gaining the title of biggest acquisition deal of all time… for all of a week, before Microsoft actually takes that title with it’s own acquisition deal!! We have a great discussion about the state of the AAA game’s industry compared to how it was in the 80s and 90s, before heading off into Millennium’s review of Farmer’s Dynasty! We wrap up with talk of anime and the Crunchyroll Anime Awards! All this and more … Continue reading "VG Pulse 371: Spark of Life?"

If you were anywhere near a TV in the late nineties you were exposed to Ashton Kutcher and Sean Williams Scott shouting dude and sweet at each other. A gag which Tim swears goes on for a third of an eternity. That’s right, we’ve got a comedy today in the form of Dude, Where’s My Car[2000]. What happens when a pair of stoners wake up from a bender with their car being lost? Also, is it a bender if it’s implied weed? Either way, Kutcher and Scott had a night out on the town and everyone is mad at them. Kutcher is certain they have presents for their girlfriends anniversaries … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 165: Kutcher my Car"

This week on Anime Pulse we got a new season of anime, potato wars, and incoming snow storms. Up first Joseph is scratching his monkey brain over why his iMac is getting so hot, and Andrew asks the community what anime they are hyped for this season. Then in the industry news a rival chain to McDonalds ups the ante, and a super cosplayer amazes with the sheer number of outfits she owns. Lastly in the first previews of the Winter 2022 season Joseph gets reincarnated into the body a super cute mage girl, and Andrew argues with the boss of his evil organization based in England.
