Episode 909: Summer 2025 Previews #3

This week on Anime Pulse we got round three of summer previews, another end of a vtubing era, and flat tires. Up first Joseph recounts his time driving home on a flat tire, and Andrew reached High Master. Then in the industry news Vshojo shuts down with plenty of drama, and VISA gets told down by Japan to quit throwing around its weight. And finally the previews get Joseph reincarnated into a land of trash as a water magician who brings the Apocalypse, and Andrew goes swimming in a game center wearing nothing but stockings with a garterbelt.

We have bad news for you, bank teller person. The robbery is coming from inside the bank! Of course robberies usually happen inside a bank if they are bank robberies. Ones conducted outside of them are can be classified as cash in transit heists if the thieves are stealing from the vehicle itself. Important notes if you’re planning on being listed on the FBI’s list of most wanted bank robbers. That way you can say you were on the scoreboard when you’re in federal prison. In that vein Weltall has Inside Man[2006]. The Clive Owen and Denzel Washington movie directed by Spike Lee about a bank heist. Only it’s not … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 246: Want Inside"

It’s hot in Topeka so we recommend that you stay hydrated. Also don’t forget to grab a string cheese on the way out. We bought them in bulk and don’t want to see them expire. Hell, take two and have one for later. We also have the knock off bag juice products. Capone Solar really isn’t that bad if you don’t mind the taste of old orange and pickle juice. Tim has Dazzle. Which is a Tokyo Pop product and boy does it bring back memories. A girl gets kicked out of her house and immediately teams up with the male protagonist. He’s silver haired, broody, and has the weird … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 539: Dark Dazzler"

This week on Anime Pulse we got round two of previews, nuclear radiation, and sports. Up first Joseph talks about his father's birthday, and Andrew is back on that Street Fighter grind. Then in the industry news an alarm clock designed to give you an excuse to be late. And finally another round of previews with Joseph being kicked from his party twice just to be targeted for assassination, and Andrew has to deal with three sisters while his fragrant flower is about to collapse.

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!! All this and more up next on VGP 420!! -Aki Music Intro – Dwarf Fortress … Continue reading "VG Pulse 420: Welcome to the Party"

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"
