Cold weather got you down? Isolation creeping up on you? Have people been trying to take away you ice cream bar you’ve had since you were a child? Sounds like Space Madness to us. Nothing a good double dose of manga reviews can’t restore. Tim returns to Ingoshima. The weird island where numerous Japanese high school students are getting massacred. What’s not to love?

There’s a certain chill in the air. Pumpkin spice is back on the menu, long sleeve hoodies, and the turning of the leaves. That can mean but one thing. Nolan has another movie out. Today we have Tenet[2020]. Weltall describes it as the Nolaniest Nolan film that has yet to Nolan. It’s about time travel, sort of. Protagonist gets involved when a terror attack occurs at a theater performance by time reversed moving soldiers. Normally us saying “protagonist” would be there because Tim forgot the character name and not a cheeky mark by a director. Nolan though wanted to see if he could outdo the use of “unobtainium”. Tim has Jim Henson’s the Storyteller(1989). I nice … Continue reading Popcorn Pulse 136: Eviction →

Like a certain fictional federal agent, we like some damn fine coffee. Pour yourself a lungo draw of espresso and sit back while we regale you with two whole manga for the price of one show. Tim has Dice: The Cube That Changes Everything. It’s about a dice which is a cube and it changes things. Our protagonist is a loser and he’s got a crush on a girl but won’t flirt with her because he’s a loser as aforementioned. One day a handsome transfer student appears and drops a little glowing dice. Protagonist picks it up and gets greeted via text by a GM who tells him how to use … Continue reading Manga Pulse 431: Cube Monkey →

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 … Continue reading Popcorn Pulse 135: Bridges go up →

This week on VG Pulse, we came out of hibernation!

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 … Continue reading Manga Pulse 430: Shield-Chan →

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.

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 … Continue reading Popcorn Pulse 134: DOOOOOOM →

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 … Continue reading Manga Pulse 429: Rules for Goshimaing →

Lastly we got more gattai with Joseph being best boy in a tower to reclaim worst girl, and Andrew puts on his bear costume and becomes a sweet idol.

Remember when Joker came out and every shitty hack kept saying it was just a ripoff of two Scorsese movies? We’ve both seen Taxi Driver(1976) and didn’t see much resemblance. So that left only one other movie in the pair to watch and review. King Of Comedy(1982). De Niro plays Pupkin who is an aspiring stand up comedian who watches late night TV. On the surface you could be excused by thinking the two are the same. Pupkin is both obsessed with the late night host and dreams of nothing other than doing the show himself. Going so far as to kidnap Jerry Lewis to upstage him with the help of another … Continue reading Popcorn Pulse 133: Old King Pop →
