Popcorn Pulse 218: Cruel Road

This week on Anime Pulse we got otaku bravery, damn good pizza, and degenerate community topics. Up first Joseph reports in on how his Blaze pizza turned out, and Andrew gets a little perverted with this week's community topic. Then in the industry news we got a full sandwich with the passing of a great, worrisome news about Gainax, and Himmel inspired actions. Lastly we're back to reviews as Joseph becomes a baby, is thrown out the window, and attracts a sexy wolf. Meanwhile Andrew is cursed with gender swapping while attempting to defend his thick thighed childhood friend.

Looks like the boys are back in town. By that, we mean the two hosts you’ve come to know an love so, so much. And by town we mean the manga that evident by the title and number attached. So won’t it be a surprise to everyone when we actually spend the whole time reviewing a pair of riding lawn mowers. Of course we can’t afford any of that. So we start with Tim and Black Night Parade. It’s Christmas in Japan. Our sad sack of a protagonist works at a convenience store and plans on stealing an expired Christmas cake. This gets him in trouble and fired. He stops … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 515: Black-Chan"

Imagine it’s the year two thousand. The President rules America as he travels Europe. After twenty plus years, he’s still vital and oversees our national pastime, Death Race 2000(1975). Fan favorite racer , Frankenstein returns to compete once more along with a few newcomers. Who will collect the most points and kill as they race from New York to L.A.? Those of us in the future know the answer but we’d like you to try this with fresh eyes. Yes, we did the Roger Corman classic Death Race to honor his passing. We figured what better way to pay homage to the man who is responsible for more people being … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 221: Death Sex"

Price check on manga. I need a price check on manga. Yes, I am aware this is a supermarket price check gag and that it was old even back in the eighties. Which means it’s beyond not relevant to make one now. Maybe we could do a random department page over the intercom. Grocery stores still do that. They also do those funny announcements about security like that deters shoplifters. Tim has Blade of Retribution. It’s about a Korea, Shiho, who’s a Kendo master. His sister heads off to college in Seoul. Then she dies and he decides to investigate because she wrote the infinity symbol in her journal. This … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 514: Blade of Mother"

It’s Monday, folks. At least when we’re recording. It also is often when we post because that’s our schedule. But even if it’s one of the other six days of the week, treat it like it’s Monday. By that we mean groan, clock in not more than a second before you’re obligated, and glare at the first people you interact with. Then brace yourself for discussion of movies. We start us off with Hudson Hawk(1991). Depending on how long you’ve been familiar with the man, you might better recognize him as Mister Action star with the patented glower of someone who has less than a minute to get to the … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 220: No Hawk"

And lastly in the previews Joseph ends up cringing at a watery goddess after defeating the final boss with an amazing rack on her, and Andrew tries to golf par 8 with kaiju jellyfish at night.

Oh my goodness, things are moving along again. That means a post is due. Have we done something about leaves being raked? Does that work for anything? No? Crap. We’ll cut right to the brass tacks then. This is a manga show and we’ve managed to read and produce a review for two. We hope you’ll listen, like, subscribe, and send two box tops plus proof of purchase along with a check for shipping to claim your prize. Tim has Hatarakanai Futari. It’s about a pair of siblings who are shut ins that do fuck all. Focused mostly on the sister, Haruko. The parents are alive and working to get … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 513: MachFut"

Two households, both alike in dignity. In fat America, where we lay our scene. And that’s about all we can figure to work in a Shakespeare reference in the few minutes we knock these out. Besides we wanted to get a little classy before we tackle an A24 movie. Yup, we watched Civil War[2024]. If you’ve seen the trailers, then you’ve got some expectations as to what we’re in for. War scenes, bad things happening, and lots of explosions. Instead, you’re treated to a civil war in the US happening because reasons. And we follow ‘journalists’ as they try and get to the White House to get an interview with … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 219: Freeway Wars"
