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 Lamborghini. This manga is about a man who dreamt of getting o
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!! -Aki Music Intro – Tetris A Theme Guitar Co
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 little girl shows up and is seeking vengeance from the bad guy who … Continue reading "Popcorn Pu
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 who murders people in the apartment complex he lives in. This … Continue reading "Manga Pu
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 finish off with talk of spicy anime!! All this and
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 where they beat a demon and get it’s power. Ichi comes across … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 562: Ichi Ichi Scrat
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 not Godzilla so he can
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 tax dept to the state and takes a job to help locate … Continue
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 finally dating and really likes this guy. The initial catch is … Continue readi
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 FamilyJules Outro – Tetris B Theme Guitar Cover by … Continue
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 auctioneer and evaluates art. He gets called into re
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 a convenience store.
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 everyone born either after or during some event called endless night … Continue reading "Manga Pu
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 outbreak(hey, that’s the title) cropping up. Dust
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 Cover by FamilyJules Outro – Tetris B Theme G
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 gets the attention of the people that run cyborg gladiator fights. It’s his ticket … Continue r
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 hypersonic. But alternate dimensional chaos emerald Sonic, Steve. Or may
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 player became their character. What happened to
