Episode 939: Spring 2026 Previews #1

This week on Anime Pulse we got manga animated with texture rigging, getting down with the sickness, and anime to watch with aliens. Up first Andrew returns from his minor break to indulge us with his stories from the trip, and Joseph got a sinus infection and actually had to take a sick day off of work. Then we give a pass to industry news, because previews tend to run the show a little too long, but the community is still here with some Ayy LAMO. Lastly we're into a new season with new anime as Joseph east monsters, becomes a great sage, and is totally not banging his ninja-like companion. Andrew meanwhile becomes a North Star rooster who uses petals to reincarnate.

Does anything take you back to the good old days more than a Scholastic Bookfair? Not Tim because his parents didn’t authorize the spend for such things. There were plenty of books in the library for practically free. Kids who’s parents wanted to encourage reading though might remember the covers of Animorphs. You know, those hilariously bad transformations of some random kid turning into a boring animal. Well it was also a show! So this one is going to be a bit different as we didn’t both watch the show or read the books. Vanessa did though and she’s going to try and sell Tim on the experience. Listen to … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 37: Animorphs"

This must be the fake movie phone episode. What with the five five five starting us off. Does Hollywood even bother with that anymore? If not, it’s now ours. And we’ll make loads of disgusting lucre, we’re talking hundreds of yen per year, to license it out. Why we’ll be able to retire or at least die. Either way we have some manga reviews. Tim starts us off with Hooligan’s. This has nothing to do with either ne’er do wells nor with unruly soccer fans. It’s about alchemy in a vague Victorian-esque era. That’s also three hundred years after the discovery of alchemy. There’s a group of supreme alchemists who … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 555: Hooligan’s Abyss"

This week on VG Pulse, we have some spicy conversations!! We start off with side notes of Millennium’s blackout birthday bash, before diving into the regular news where we go over the changes coming to the PEGI rating system, the outcome of the incredibly bizarre Subnautica 2 situation, Nvidia’s DLSS 5 making everything worse for games, Nintendo taking another blow in their fight against Palworld, and one streamer facing justice for his horrific crime! After the news we discuss food and anime!! All this and more up next on VGP 432!! Music Intro – Tetris A Theme Guitar Cover by FamilyJules Outro – Tetris B Theme Guitar Cover by FamilyJules … Continue reading "VG Pulse 432: Wind Storm Blues"

Look, we really like going back through film catalogs of famous actors. But if death could just slow it the heck down for a bit. Maybe go collect some mosquitoes instead. Because there are only so many losses we can take and the Academy’s “in memoriam” isn’t going to get them all at this rate. So we just said goodbye to Robert Duvall and decided to do something that was around but was not the Godfather. We have The Outfit(1973), a movie based on a novel. Which Tim has a few interesting, he swears, tidbits about the author and character. Duvall is getting out of jail after he and his … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 261: Fuzzy Wuzzy’s Outfit"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the Spring Cleaning Giveaway, your choice in bodyguards, and heroes with social anxiety. Up first IRL news with Andrew got a terrible hangover and then went for a run, and Joseph got his car fixed and is playing a new game. Then in the industry news Mr. Atatatata himself will become a playable character in a fighting game. Lastly the reviews wrap things up with Joseph recruiting a part of girls who all secretly want to kill him, and Andrew becomes the strongest man alive by beating up everyone else.

We count on our volunteer skywatch to be on the lookout for threats. Make sure you know your region designation, your local chapter captain, and the report number you’re to call if you spot anything. As always be on the lookout for the most devious air threat, the dual manga review. This twin engine menace will appeared at dusk on Mondays, ready to strike like a ninja. In fact it looks like there’s one coming in right now! First up is Tim with SHWD. The cover tells us this is pronounced “should”. Like, should you even bother opening this up and reading it? It’s a vague date in the near … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 554: A Bad Shawdy"

This week on Anime Pulse we got mysterious car liquids, frustrating anime characters, and really poor communication. Up first IRL news has Andrew saved up a bunch of ammo for the final boss in RE9, and Joseph gets super lucky with some car trouble. Then in the industry news a One Piece director thinks adaptations are no good. Lastly more reviews with Joseph failing to properly communicate with the hero's party, and Andrew gets back on that saddle and recruits some spicy horses.

How may reviews for Superman movies does the world need? It needs ours and that’s about it. Everyone else can go back to Krypton. Yes, we sat down and finally watched James Gunn’s Superman[2025]. We figured we didn’t want to place it in the list of movies we’d watch when we get around to a theme episode sometime. If you’ve existed in Western pop culture, you know the basics. Alien from Krypton, many many powers, raised in Kansas, and fights villains. Some differences here are that Papa Kent is alive and both the Kents are lobotomized boomers who can’t operate a phone. Louis Lane is obnoxious, maybe that’s closer to … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 260: Superbunny"

This week on Anime Pulse we got fantasy lamb sauce, why Griffith looks like a girl, and Christmas in March. First up IRL news with Andrew playing more Resident Evil, and Joseph is already planning out his naughty or nice list. Then in the industry news Kadokawa wants to become an anime monopoly. Lastly the reviews close things down as Joseph checks out a new restaurant in town run by a former adventurer and his loli slave, and Andrew hops on a bicycle and travels Japan gaining a new hot female love interest every step of the way.
