Manga Pulse 545: Isekai Panic

Oh shit, look at the time. It’s manga time. Again. Like Groundhog day, we are back in the same place at the same time. Or at least close enough to the same time that it doesn’t matter. We’re not Batman who’s arrival thirty seconds late means the warehouse explodes or anything. We’re much more important which is why we can start whenever we feel. Tim has Otherside Picnic. It’s sort of inspired by Roadside Picnic but has yuri schoolgirls because this is a manga we’re talking about. Sorawo wanders into a a dimension she’s been exploring and nearly dies. Lucky for her another schoolgirl, Toriko, wanders over with a gun … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 545: Isekai Panic"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the roughest isekai starts, villainess anime, and weight training desserts. Up first Joseph talks about an unexpectedly long walk, and Andrew gives some specifics about his latest trip to Japan. Then we skip the industry news as there is none, going right into the previews.

Everybody needs socks. Not just the day to day boring old socks, mind you. You need some nice warm, cushy socks that will help keep your feet safe in the colder months. We’re not shilling any particular brand or anything but after watching today’s movie, Jeremiah Johnson(1972), we’re reminded of the need for good winter gear. Jeremiah Johnson is based very loosely based on both a real mountain man and a period fiction novel. The titular Jeremiah is played by Robert Redford. He comes from nowhere and has decided he will become a mountain man. So it’s his struggle to adapt to the wilderness. This means collecting a couple of … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 251: Hot Johnson"

We almost need a new term after this episode. Something to describe getting bad manga out of a grab bag. It’s much like getting some sort of STI though in this case it’s going to the whorehouse and not bringing along a condom on purpose. Stupid Tankabon Inside? We’ll workshop some stuff and completely forget. Until then, on with the manga review. Tim has My Isekai Life. Yuji is a young office drone who whines about working all the time.

In a turn of events we decided to take a trip to the island of Japan as a theme. What kind of theme could we pluck out of cinema from the land of the rising sun? Would it be films of the samurai? Lightning fast martial arts? How about slow boil romances where everyone acts like they’re taking ketamine off screen? You shall have to see now. First up is Yakuza Apocalypse[2015]. It’s about an apocalypse of yakuza. We start in a small town where the head of the yakuza chapter is a vampire. He gets killed by a gun wielding cosplayer and an angry otaku. But his head bites … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 250: Yakuza Yakuza Yakuza"
