Popcorn Pulse 245: Hero Cat

This week on Anime Pulse we got a return to previews, a return of Andrew, and a very empty community topic. Up first Joseph finds out his unboxing stream won't be until late August, and Andrew regales us with his trip to Switzerland and it's really tiny meals. Then in the industry news Netflix gloats about being used mostly for anime. And finally the summer previews round things out with Joseph kissing drunk women as a reborn vending machine after killing the demon lord, and Andrew runs away from cats who killed his friend for their original sin.

Punch, kick, it’s all in the mind. Or that’s what weirdos will tell you. Then you strike them in the face and ask them if that was simply a personal construct or not. Of course they will go call the cops which is the adult version of tattling. Which is really the only reason nihilists and solopsists get away with being smug jerks in a civilized society. Let us bring that around to Chuck Norris. We have Hero and the Terror(1988). A Chuck Norris Canon film. Which means you might be thinking about explosions and wall to wall gunfights. It’s actually about a mute killer that Chuck catches in the … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 245: Hero Cat"

This week on VG Pulse, we’re in flash news central! We start off with side notes about how hot and muggy it is here, before melting our way into the regular news, where we discuss World of Tanks continuing to be awful, more countries waking up to the various monopoles in the gaming sphere, and Gamestop turning their stapled Switch 2 situation into an amazing charity opportunity! After the news we go over the discord discussions and give a long overdue review of Pacific Drive, and finish off with talk of food and Expedition 33!!

Who the hell posts descriptions for this show at six PM? Off in the distance you might faintly hear us. Oh boy, six PM, time for another show description! Then the sounds of a comically large wooden mallet crushing an alarm clock. Not because that’s the only way to silence it but because big alarm clock has convinced us that they are disposable. Tim has Radiant. There are evil creatures randomly falling from the sky. Also the world is something of floating islands in amongst the clouds. Not only are these creatures dangerous but merely touching them infects and kills most people. Those that don’t become “wizards” and have a … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 538: Radiant Cunt"

This week on Anime Pulse we got some good bloody food, edge lords, and isekai contests. Up first the IRL news has Joseph excited for his upcoming 4 day work week, aka a 3 day weekend, and Andrew is back from his time away to ask us about the anime that give us those vacation vibes. Then in the industry news an upcoming ecchi anime is going to have varying levels of censorship, and KADOKAWA wants you to tell them your isekai stories. And finally in the reviews Joseph shows us how he evolved from an edge lord to a harem protagonist, and Andrew gets back on that cute anime horse girl.

Let’s look over the stack of papers on our desk. Doesn’t seem anyone has died too recently but everyone is talking about scary weather. So it must be summer and that puts us right in the mood to talk about frightening beaches where people die suddenly. No, we’re not talking about sharks or any famous movies featuring them. We have The Fog(1980). Yes, on the heels of making an iconic slasher film, John Carpenter got license to make a movie about ghost pirates. Naturally they called it the fog because that’s what the ghost pirates send in ahead. Which makes a lot of scenes in this movie like an angry … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 244: Accounting Fog"

You might find leprechauns ridiculous and unbelievable. Little gnomish folk with magical powers that hide gold at the end of rainbows? Dismissed with prejudice, you would say. Just as you might dismiss that we would do another manga episode. Yet here we are, in all our glory. So if we can come through, who is to say, truly, that you will never see a lookalike that could hawk you a sugary cereal product in person? You won’t but as a wise bard once sang, don’t stop believing. Tim has Can’t Stop Cursing You. There’s a bunch of curse gods and they like to make deals with mortals. One unnamed curse … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 537: Titsa Cursin"

This week on VG Pulse, get ready to talk about Not-E3 and all its Not-E3…uhh…glory?

We also discuss the many continued failings of Nintendo, such as fresh joycon drift and many canceled preorders! Meanwhile Blumhouse is making a Phasmophobia movie and the indie space continuing to dominate the market! We finish off with talk of food! All this and more up next on VGP 419!! -Aki Music Intro – Atom Bomb Baby by The Five Stars Outro – … Continue reading "VG Pulse 419: Not E3 Trailerization"

You might not think that we ever get stuck for movies to pick for the show. What with Hollywood alone having been making films for over a century. Giving us a library of media you probably couldn’t watch in your lifetime without sacrificing your personal life and a significant portion of sleep. But that does happen and then we hear about an actor’s passing and it reminds us of their work. We have Walking Tall(1973). The late and sort of great Joe Don Baker stars in this somewhat autobiographical film based on the real life Buford Pusser. In the film, Buford comes back to his hometown after a wrestling career … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 243: Walking Time"

This week on Anime Pulse we got Aku Joseph, unsolved mysteries, and ten full miles. Up first Joseph hits his goal of a ten mile walk by visiting a cemetery named after his patron saint, and Andrew puts in his PTO for next week. Then in the industry news Crunchyroll makes one of the most idiotic polls ever. Finally in the reviews Joseph unseals a horrible version of himself to talk about why it is a bad idea to try and pickup girls in a dungeon, and Andrew joins the mafia to kill family in a town called Lawless.
