Ze Shows – Anime Pulse

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.

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 giant tower in the desert while being shot at by needles.

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 cover up by a cop that shot someone, and also … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 262: Silence of War"

This week on Anime Pulse we got manga animated with texture rigging, getting down with the sickness, and anime to watch with aliens. Up first Andrew returns from his minor break to indulge us with his stories from the trip, and Joseph got a sinus infection and actually had to take a sick day off of work. Then we give a pass to industry news, because previews tend to run the show a little too long, but the community is still here with some Ayy LAMO. Lastly we're into a new season with new anime as Joseph east monsters, becomes a great sage, and is totally not banging his ninja-like companion. Andrew meanwhile becomes a North Star rooster who uses petals to reincarnate.

This must be the fake movie phone episode. What with the five five five starting us off. Does Hollywood even bother with that anymore? If not, it’s now ours. And we’ll make loads of disgusting lucre, we’re talking hundreds of yen per year, to license it out. Why we’ll be able to retire or at least die. Either way we have some manga reviews. Tim starts us off with Hooligan’s. This has nothing to do with either ne’er do wells nor with unruly soccer fans. It’s about alchemy in a vague Victorian-esque era. That’s also three hundred years after the discovery of alchemy. There’s a group of supreme alchemists who … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 555: Hooligan’s Abyss"

Look, we really like going back through film catalogs of famous actors. But if death could just slow it the heck down for a bit. Maybe go collect some mosquitoes instead. Because there are only so many losses we can take and the Academy’s “in memoriam” isn’t going to get them all at this rate. So we just said goodbye to Robert Duvall and decided to do something that was around but was not the Godfather. We have The Outfit(1973), a movie based on a novel. Which Tim has a few interesting, he swears, tidbits about the author and character. Duvall is getting out of jail after he and his … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 261: Fuzzy Wuzzy’s Outfit"

We count on our volunteer skywatch to be on the lookout for threats. Make sure you know your region designation, your local chapter captain, and the report number you’re to call if you spot anything. As always be on the lookout for the most devious air threat, the dual manga review. This twin engine menace will appeared at dusk on Mondays, ready to strike like a ninja. In fact it looks like there’s one coming in right now! First up is Tim with SHWD. The cover tells us this is pronounced “should”. Like, should you even bother opening this up and reading it? It’s a vague date in the near … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 554: A Bad Shawdy"

How may reviews for Superman movies does the world need? It needs ours and that’s about it. Everyone else can go back to Krypton. Yes, we sat down and finally watched James Gunn’s Superman[2025]. We figured we didn’t want to place it in the list of movies we’d watch when we get around to a theme episode sometime. If you’ve existed in Western pop culture, you know the basics. Alien from Krypton, many many powers, raised in Kansas, and fights villains. Some differences here are that Papa Kent is alive and both the Kents are lobotomized boomers who can’t operate a phone. Louis Lane is obnoxious, maybe that’s closer to … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 260: Superbunny"

This week on VG Pulse, we’re slowly getting the techfail sorted out!! We start off with side notes of work and general life, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the shutting down of Highguard apparently being the fault of its players, Nintendo trying to swing big with a lawsuit against the tariffs, Arc Raiders and Discord having a security breach in an amazing way, and a whole lot of lawsuits against Steam! After the news, Millennium gives his review of Farming Simulator 25, and we give a joint review of Voidtrain, before closing out with talk of anime!! All this and more up next on VGP 431!! … Continue reading "VG Pulse 431: FSR is Garbage"

Have you taken your vitamin C lately? Health advice? No, we’re asking if you’ve taken a double dose of manga reviews. You might think that would be vitamin M or maybe R. We say C because it’s short for charm which our reviews are never short of. Of course we’ll probably forget this the next time a description needs be made but that’s all part of our vitamin C. Up first is Tim with The Regressed Sword Saint’s Magic Theory. There’s a magic world where our dude is the titular Sword Saint. A man so skilled he basically defeats anyone at anytime. The only thing is he’s always wondering what … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 553: Handyman Magic"

This week on VG Pulse, we’ve got a whole pile of stupid to go over! We start off with side notes of new phones and giant movie posters, before we dive into the stupid where we discuss Discord being stupid! Oh why do companies have to be stupid… after the stupid, we discuss the rocky future of Microsoft, Toyota making their own weird game engine, and some incredibly upsetting losses in the legacy gaming sphere these past few weeks. After the news we realize we’ve gone very long on this one, and skip right on to finishing off with talk of anime!! All this and more up next on VGP … Continue reading "VG Pulse 430: NASA Grade Engineering"

This week on Anime Pulse we got gender bending, bishonen iRobot, and getting rock hard for hard rocks. Up first IRL with Andrew correcting his bench pressing form, and Joseph has nothing to add so he diverts our attention to the community segment. Then in the industry news, we got no industry news, so there's that. Finally the reviews wrap things up as Joseph becomes a useless android detective, and Andrew collects some shiny rocks while not at all being distracted by peaches and melons.
