Ze Shows Anime Pulse

We heard everyone has gotten excited by the prospect of a toy based movie. We’re not sure why that’s working this time when Ouija happened and no one cared. That was clearly the best possible children’s toy to adapt. Anything less will fall short. Either way, we’re just thrilled that people are once again talking about Life-Size[2000]. We know it’s not the movie you were thinking of when we said doll and movie. We still watched the Lindsey Lohan and Tyra Banks vehicle. Tyra Banks is an ersatz Barbie who’s collectible and done every job in the world. Magic brings her to life and she enters Lohan’s life. Oh and … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 202: Size of Life"

And lastly in the previews Joseph grinds out his healing skills so he can land those amazing rare drops, and Andrew retires after defeating the demon lord but ends up looking after a ghost loving cousin.

What is a man? No, mister Dracul, not a miserable pile of secrets. No, Diogenes, put the plucked chicken away. Mister Hilfiger, you answer of “person who wears jeans in my ads” is acceptable but please elaborate on that. Everyone else, have your essay ready by Tuesday and enjoy the holiday weekend. Don’t forget to listen to our wonderful manga reviews. Tim has Megaman NT Warrior. A manga based on the GameBoy Advance Battle Network game. It follows the events of the game well enough that Tim recalls characters and events. With the opinion that the adaptation makes some sense as the game had a plot which was clear. And … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 497: Mega Hero"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the fastest shipping in the West, the most overly complicated answers to the weekly topic, and a man who is so horny he tries to become a monk. Up first Joseph's IRL news is actually brief for once as he only mentions in passing of his failure to acquire his CPU but purchase of the new PC Case, and Andrew sets us up the bomb with a weekly topic that causes more harm than good. Then in the industry news it's a solo Andrew run with a new type of Sexuaility being founded, and a top ten list of the best anime with lots of PLOT. And finally in the previews we got Joseph giving up on the love of his life to become a monk at a nunnery, meanwhile Andrew attempts to solve a vampire murder mystery while checking off his bucket list during a zombie outbreak.

Open the curtains, you basement dwelling cretins. You to, you normal people who get plenty of exposure to natural light. Not you, people who make AI morphs of random Twitch streamer girls to suit your fetish. You can stay there and maybe check the batteries in your carbon monoxide alarm. Because there’s a chance you’re suffering from poisoning. For everyone else, take in plenty of Sunshine[2007]. It’s a science fiction movie staring Cillian Murphy and a whole lot of other names you know. It’s the future and the sun is cooling off. So there’s a second mission to the sun to drop a bomb into it to get it going … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 201: The Sun"

Twice now, you have come into our house and made requests. Neither of those times have you come bearing gifts. Not even something as small as a bag of chips. Do we not rate at least a pouch of Corn Nuts? Even the plain would be less of an affront. Though we would still prefer the Chili Picante. Oh, now we need to go take a look and see if they’ve brought back the pizza flavor. Anywho, I guess we have two reviews for you. Tim has Higehiro or After Being Rejected I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway. Yoshida is a salary man who does business things. … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 496: Teased and Rejected"

Two hundred episodes all about movies. That deserves somethings kind of special. Or, as they say in the land of surfing and wanna-be actors, special. So we decided to sit down and do what is considered one of the top films of all time. Kangaroo Jack. OK, no, we did The Godfather(1972). It’s got a laundry list of actors you know, some before they were big enough to become parodies of themselves. Brando putting in a legendary performance that looms over everyone. A stray cat, just being a stray cat in the hands of the titular Godfather. A horses head in the bed of a Hollywood producer. Something that should … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 200: Godfatha"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the first round of previews from the 2023 summer season, the top betrayals in anime, and Cloverworks pulling an EA. Up first Joseph continues his new PC built purchases and challenges himself in Inscryption, and Andrew has nothing to say so they skip straight to the show topic of the week.

And finally in the previews Joseph is reincarnated as a baby but grows up to work under a short stack, and Andrew attempts to avoid cutting anyone with his reverse blade except for demons who use curses.

Let’s see what we’ve got for another joke about twos. Hmm, perhaps something about wild deuces? That’s a sort of poker term, we think. Does that mean we’ve made the blind or the double blind? Well then, you’ve sunk my battleship. Prepare to go fish and go for all the marbles. Unless your hippos aren’t hungry enough to handle it. Tim has a revisit of Yankee Jk Kuzuhana-Chan. You might remember the plot about a lone male attending a vocational school. Which had just gone from being girls only to co-ed. And he is the only boy there. He is taken under the wing of the tall delinquent type girl … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 495: Yankee Dance"

This week on Anime Pulse we got PC upgrades ordained by the Gaming Gods, the women of Japan getting a big win in health care, and living the college dream at a scuba shop. Up first Joseph has had a tumultuous week full of things, and Andrew is looking for a roommate from the anime world. Then in the industry news, what's this? Only Joseph has something!? The world has truly gone mad! Well, at least women in Japan can buy morning after pills now without a prescription. And lastly in the final reviews show before the summer previews start Joseph delves potentially one last time into the depths of a dungeon to hit on girls, and Andrew goes back to college to attending a diving course full of drinking.

Imagine it’s the late eighties or early nineties and you’re a movie producer. That director with daddy issues that looks kinda like he’s in the cure just made a mint by adapting a little comic called Batman. You thought it couldn’t work because you remember Adam West and the wacky utility belt. But that dude made it work. So you scramble around looking for cheap rights to some of them comics the kids are clamoring for but you don’t want to spend all your coke money. So you pay pennies on the dollar for Tank Girl(1995). Tank Girl is about a future where a comet screwed up the weather and … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 199: Jet Girl is Hotter"

This week on VG Pulse, summer is in full swing!

After the … Continue reading "VG Pulse 392: Tears of the Luna Nights"

This week on Anime Pulse we got another Eva movie, that One Piece movie trailer, and dinner from a Golf Course. Up first Joseph is suffering the heat the best he can, talking about his meal from Iron's Edge and Andrew doubles down on the heat with Hot Takes after giving some thoughts on Fire Emblem Engage. Then in the industry news the kid who more or less started the sushi terrorism trend receives a hefty fine, and the trailer for One Piece the Netflix dropped and it is indeed a trailer for a movie.

Let’s see how many mangas do we have? Let us count them out. Slowly so we don’t lose our place. One manga. Ah, ha, ha, ha! Two, two, mangas? Ah, ha, bah, glargghhh! Drowning in irony jokes. Just one second. Kackkk! OK, I think I hacked it all up. Yes, we have two mangas as usual for your approval. Or not. We’re not your dad. Tim has World Piece, an OEL from Viz. Lucas is a basketball player and, may god forgive me for saying it, a Canadian. There’s a local school building that disappeared and his mother is an archaeologist inspecting the site. No one is really that concerned … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 494: Cancelled"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Team Rocket levels of crime, a one-sided Demon Slayer review, and questioning anime characters. Up first Joseph doesn't have much to say about his week for once and Andrew does a little better in his Street Fighter rankings, but the community section steals the show with a very small number of replies to an ask-me-anything themed interview with any character of your choice. Then in the industry news Black Lagoon opens two cafes, a costly Demon Slayer advertisement, and resealed Pokemon cases found full of drugs. And lastly in the reviews Joseph graduates from demon school feeling a little underwhelmed, and Andrew goes to the Red Light district to hunt demons.

Oscar season has come and gone and left us with little to talk about. That’s because we don’t care about the awards because we’re not professionals. At least that’s our excuse. Still, one film dared us to talk about it with all the sappy reunion stories leaking like yogurt out of that hooker we paid in two thousand seven. We have Everything Everywhere All at Once[2022]. It’s a film featuring “multiverses” in the same way other science fiction films softer than cottage cheese in the Phoenix sun contain “science”. It’s a framing device exploring nihilism by using magic universe jumping fake-nology. At least there are some fun performances and it’s … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 198: All Things Now"

We start off with side notes of work and life, before diving into the regular news where we discuss the Microsoft not-E3 not-press conference, Embracer Group being Embracer Group, Twitch fucking over its content creators once again, Powerwash Simulator continuing to be awesome, and a very talented dude with a Rubik’s Cube!
