Episode 914: Children of the Greatest Sea of All Time

Summer’s coming to a close. Labor day has passed and that means the days are starting to turn. That also means our convention has come and gone. With that in the mirror that alsom means it’s time to review grab bag manga. This ensures that we really get garbage to comb through without effort. Up first is time with Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs. We meet Koragashi, a psychic who punches ghosts as exorcism. He’s been invited to a run down hot spring hotel haunted by Yuuna and occupied by a bunch of monster girls. We should mention this is Seven Seas “Ghost Ship” imprint who’s motto is “we … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 543: Sugar Springs"

Then in the industry news we have none!

Wouldn’t it be nice to be good at your job? So good that you would be brought out of retirement for one last job? That’s how we ended up slinging space donuts at the Convention of Peace Officers in Chicago six years ago. Was it worth the six dollars an hour and all the mini donuts you can eat? Some people would say no. Those people have never seen the look on a con goers face when you hand them a bag that burns their hand because the contents were in the fryer less than ten seconds ago. First up we have 24 Hours to Live[2017]. Ethan Hawke plays a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 249: Finest 24 Hours"

You know how states have gotten ridiculous about designations of things? Like how every state has a flower, a song, and a flag. We’re going to petition Colorado to make us their official podcast. Just one second as we submit that. Oh, and we’ve already gotten a response. It’s a restraining order preventing us from emailing them ever again. Guess it’s back to pen and paper mail. In the meantime, here’s a pair of manga. Tim has Bakuchi Gui. We join Bull, a kid who works a low level job while having dead parents. He makes a little extra cash selling gambling cheats. His older brother is something of a … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 542: Gui Rai"

This week on Anime Pulse we return from the dead, well, vacations galore as Andrew and Joseph finally make time for another episode. Up first Joseph goes over the goodies he got while in Florida for his Birthday, and Andrew goes over his time attending Versus Fighting. Then in the industry news Japan's postal service will no longer ship to the US, and how Japan is using AI to prepare for Fuji's next eruption. Finally a return to reviews, however short it may be, as Joseph finds a job that offer a 401k, dental, eye care, and 60 days of PTO and all he needs to do is manage a demon lord's army.

“in the mists of the lost time known as the 13th hour of every day where time stops for all men that was gone. But as we know all endings are just beginnings have ends as all ends have beginnings like that of a incomplete circle. That just have completed smaller ones were completed sooner than others. Here we have a tale once thought lost to time is found the great depths lives once more by the power of 2.” —BioMegaBear

We’ve done quite a few Nicolas Cage films so what’s a few more? The question is can we keep finding themes within his filmography as it shrinks while we review it? Can he grow his library faster than we can review it? There’s only one way to find out and that’s to press on boldly. We opted to try and find three films where Cage was a thief or a conman. First up is Stolen[2012]. Cage plays a thief, chalk one up to the easy category. He gets caught doing a bank job and gets separated from his family. Once he gets out, he tries to reconnect with his daughter. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 248: Stolen Sticks"
