Ze Shows Anime Pulse

Crack open a cold one. Fire up the popcorn popper. Wipe down your theater seat because your local government demands it. We’re back with cinematic projections focused on the great and now late Sean Connery. Digging into the older and lesser talked films of his career, we tap into Name of the Rose(1986). Sean Connery is a monk with Christian Slater as his apprentice. They’re going to a church summit at a monastery where a murder has occurred. This leads to Connery investigating it while more die around them. Because it’s based on a book by Umberto Eco it goes nowhere in spite of a good premise. Weltall has The Rock(1996). A Michael Bay movie before … Continue reading Popcorn Pulse 139: Wrong Rose →

You know the drill by now. It’s a manga show were two people do two manga. Let’s pretend we said something funny and snarky about a BOGO deal or something and move on. Tim has Goblin Is Very Strong. So there’s an MMO style world of vague RPG where there are levels and a “goblin” character stumbled into being level ninety nine. This makes her able to kill all the players with but a stab. So it’s like One Punch Man but not funny or interesting. It’s a dull slog worth of a trip to hell were we will Burn It. Weltall has Welcome to Succubus High. When our boring male protagonist transfers to an all girl … Continue reading Manga Pulse 434: Succ Strong →

This week on Anime Pulse we got tooth aches, fast food Japanese deer, and a return to a return by death. Up first IRL news gets Joseph to talk about his potential Wisdom Tooth removal, and Andrew dig into some chocolates to learn who we would like to give and receive some from. Then in industry news Joseph takes a seat at the timelines as Andrew warns us about a new corporation team-up, and feeding leftover veggies and sweets to deer is not cool bro. Lastly is the last preview only show where Joseph goes back to teaching some dumb quintuplets, Andrew has an argument with toilet paper, and the two of them bid a surprising farewell to a floating cat spirit.

This week on VG Pulse, there’s been a lot going on!

Come on down to the graveyard and don’t be seduced by the tall man. We’ve cracked open the skull of a b movie monster film, Phantasm(1979). We have a sad kid who works on cars that lives with his brother. Their parents are dead and then some of the older brother’s friends start dying. Bodies start disappearing and silver orbs are zooming about. All why a creepily tall man shouts “boy!” This may sound like a normal day in Kansas and it is until they stumble upon a gateway to another dimension or maybe planet appears. Tim has Black 47[2018]. A movie which was not about love and fortune at the roulette wheel. It’s rather … Continue reading Popcorn Pulse 138: Balls of Doom →

We’re here at Twin Peaks manga cafe. As always we bring you two, salty manga reviews. We might also coat it in ketchup with frowny face. Tim has Renjou Desperado. What happens when you mash the future western setting of Trigun and add in the a wandering ronin? You get a cyborg samurai woman wandering a post apocalyptic Japan-America. She’s not out for revenge or anything as silly as that. She’s looking for a husband and keeps finding useless, traitorous, bigamists who aren’t worth the wipe of her blade. It gets a Crackers. Weltall has If I was a Dictator. The cover makes this seem like things happen and it should be memorable. But this was … Continue reading Manga Pulse 433: Desperate Dictator →

This week on Anime Pulse we got the potential return of a long lost Japanese sweet, the villains we love to love, and becoming overpowered by a T-posing woman. Up first IRL news sees Joseph receiving a dump of manga and trading cards, and Andrew is recovering from his rejection in Rune Factory 4. Industry news is up next bringing us one entire topic, as a professor in Japan is attempting to resurrect an extinct species of sweets. And finally come more previews with Joseph adjusting his glasses after making out with a girl to earn life points, and Andrew attempts to escape a walled kingdom full of bad CGI arms.

Looks like the house of mouse has stirred up a little controversy in their latest film. Due to the unspecified global event with a mysterious origin. Probably Australian kangaroo pox that moved from koala to humans headed to the EU. So we have Mulan: Rise of a Warrior[2009]. A movie turned out in mainland west Taiwan based on the legend of Mulan. We wanted to see how a the target audience turned out their own version. Turns out it’s a lot less singing dragons and a hair more wirefu. Not to the extremes some other wuxia films have but it’s really not very good. This leave us both with the rat’s production Mulan[2020]. … Continue reading Popcorn pulse 137: Mulame →

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? Disgusting people who run slave camps where the new captures are being shuffled into. This gives us a glimpse into the inner workings of the island barbarians. With some nice, if flat, characters it keeps a Read It Now. Weltall has Shy. The world was on the brink of … Continue reading Manga Pulse 432: Shy Island →

This week on Anime Pulse we got our favorite anime families, the most oppressed anime gamer ever, and getting strict on cosplayers in Japan. Up first IRL news with Joseph drowning in trading cards, and Andrew would like us to be adopted by a selected list of families in anime. Then in industry news we get in topics like the 2nd cancelation of Sakura-Con, some top shonen villains, and new laws are underway to make cosplaying unprofitable. And lastly another round of previews, as Joseph is reincarnated into a jobless slime and Andrew reveals that life is the hardest game of all as he juggles his high school romances.

This week on Anime Pulse we got the dream jobs of Japanese elementary students, the best anime of 2020 according to us, and giant boobies are all it takes to be a download now. Up first IRL news has Joseph shaking things up with his online persona, and Andrew wants to know what our 2021 anime resolutions are. Then in the Industry News the topics crossing our lane include dream jobs of Japanese children, and studio Ghibli losing its grip on being number one. Finally the reviews have Joseph putting up with an annoying kohai with huge knockers, and Andrew sends a severed horse head to his enemies after finding a baby in a dumpster.

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 →

This week on Anime Pulse we got Christmas gifts, ol' saint Nick, and the last supper of an overextended anime. Up first IRL news is a bit different as Joseph and Andrew exchange their gifts in the 2nd annual Anime Pulse gift exchange. Then in the industry news we have what should be the final entry in the Act Age legal saga, U.K. McDonalds updating their menu with Curry Nuggets, and some little boys and girls won't be getting their limited edition figurines this year. And finally in the reviews Joseph begrudgingly finishes the final dish Food Wars hands him, and Andrew gets the best gift of all; a little sister!

This week on Anime Pulse we got the worst anime of 2020, the satisfying end to a RomCom series, and hoop earrings. Up first Joseph gets snowed in and worn out trying to dig back to civilization, and Andrew is looking into our top picks for worst of the worst in 2020. Afterwards comes Industry News with a teacher being asked to remove her hoops, ANN's preemptive discussion censoring of an anime, and a man made of chainsaws. 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 →
