Manga Pulse 525: XXX Boner

This week on Anime Pulse we got vtuber awards, anime dragging its feet, and dancing moments. Up first IRL news has Joseph going back to the gym, and Andrew attended a big fighting game event with some of the top player in the world. Then in the industry news the vtuber awards just wrapped up and announced the winner, and Japanese artists on X are up in arms over blackface being applied to Dandadan. Lastly in the reviews Joseph wades through a really lackluster series of events in a fantasy anime to get to the good stuff, and Andrew brews up a barrel of whisky that will be aged for at least 15 years.

We want everyone to reach under your seats and pull out the old shoe box you find there. Within that box, there should be an old bit of newspaper. Unwrap that and you will find at least two popsicle sticks. Take those and carefully taste the bit of discoloration where the previous treat ended. Give those a quick taste and close your eyes. Congratulations. You are now a weirdo. Tim has Welcome to Japan, Elf-san or Welcome to Japan Ms Elf if you’re looking for the light novel series this is based on. Kazuhiro is a guy who leaves work at quitting time which means he’s the odd one. He … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 526: Elf Daughter"

Then in the industry news we get confirmation that VISA Japan is against allowing you to buy anything lewd, and a job listing is posted asking for men to talk to Japanese girls online. And finally in the reviews Joseph is killed by a yandere, reincarnates into a goblin, and later evolves into an ogre. Meanwhile Andrew retires from being a killer yakuza member to find great deals at the super market, cook melas for his wife, and wear pink aprons.

Do you remember that phase of the internet where everything was about pirates? Like everyone would mention when it’s talk like a pirate day and things like that. We go a little further back before all that with Cutthroat Island(1995). A movie you’ll probably see a whole lot on lists of biggest box office bombs. It and Show Girls killed the studio that made it. Geena Davis is the daughter of a pirate captain. Her dad is one of three pirates that has a map to a massive buried treasure. Her uncle pirate, Frank Langella, kills her dad in his quest for the treasure. So it’s something of a race … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 232: French Cutthroat"

Finally in the reviews Joseph gets an extension on his life thanks to all those apples he eats, and Andrew is engaged to a space oni against his will.

It might be November and that means spooky season is technically over. That doesn’t mean it’s gone from our minds. As they used to say, off the charts but not off our hearts. So we almost sort of have a related theme that keeps it going. So break out your Spirit Halloween costumes of Dismissive Candy Factory Owner or Foreign Blood Drinking Guy and join us. Tim has Bones. And not just those that exist under his skin or in his junk drawer. It’s set in a world where a lot of people have superpowers. Ji has a superpower that doesn’t seem to be that useful. He can regenerate though … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 525: XXX Boner"

Up first Joseph is excited for his three day work week and is still fighting splicers, meanwhile Andrew knows we're out of October be he wants to know about the creepiest characters in anime. Then in the industry news, we have none! But that's ok, because the vtubers are here to help pass the time. And finally in the reviews Joseph goes dungeon delving to find his harpy dragon sister, and Andrew expands his domain all over the place to fight the color purple.

Hey there, pardner. Us speakin’ in an a-ffected drawl must mean we gots a Western movie. It also a-happens to be an adaptation of a book. A bone-a-fide lit-er-a-chur turned talkie. That brings us to Appaloosa[2008]. Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen are wandering gunmen for hire and have been partners for awhile. They come into Appaloosa which is in need of a sheriff. This is on account of Jeremy Irons being a powerful rancher having killed the last one. Things get a little complicated when a farmhand offers to testify to the murder. Tim has Raw Deal(1986).
