Ze Shows – Anime Pulse

Everyone, may I have your attention please? Listen up, I need everybody to stop what you’re doing. I’m Axel Foley, Federal Anime Inspector, everyone stop drawing, inking. Except for you, you finish up them tiddies. That is an anime girl with the boom, if you know what I’m saying. She’d better not be in high school or we’re going to have a serious problem. If you hadn’t guessed, we’re doing Beverly Hills Cop. We are focused on the newest that has an incredibly awkward title Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. There’s been rumor of a sequel to Beverly Hills cop in the works since the third one came and bombed … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 224: Detroit Hills"

This week on Anime Pulse we got a brand new season of anime, people dropping like flies on a mountain, and being denied a hot valkyrie. Up first Joseph complains about salted pretzels, and Andrew is looking for us to peek his new ice. Then in the industry news Crunchyroll says "No Comment" and Dogo Kobo is acquired by Kadokawa. The finally in our first previews of the season Joseph parries a nobody newbie adventurer, and Andrew using his acting skills to date twins that speak Russian.

Is it really that time again? Oh crap, we have to pick a manga. Or two. We could probably go through the requests. But that would take some sort of effort. Everyone knows we don’t ply effort to things like selection. That’s reserved for silly things like selecting the toppings for carryout or gently handling golf clubs. We did find two, in spite of the effort it took. We hope you enjoy the discussion they’re sure to prompt. Tim has Director Kim. Hey, that rhymes. It’s a webtoon where the titular Kim is a boring office manager. His wife is dead but he has a daughter that he conflicts with. … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 517: Blue vs Blew"

This week on Anime Pulse we got fireworks, a mediocre VRMMO game, and gender swapping. Up first Joseph celebrated the 4th of July with four days off from work, and Andrew is thinking of taking a dip in the drowned girl springs. Then in the industry news a man departs from one train station alive and arrives at the next one dead, and that's all, for once Andrew has no news to speak of! And then finally our reviews see us out with Joseph playing a very bad VRMMO game after work, and Andrew makes a wish upon a star and become a cute girl so he can live that yuri life he's dreamed of.

All aboard! Maniacal laughter echoing into the distance. What do you mean, don’t say that part? It’s written in the script you gave me. I don’t know what kind of amateur hour circus you have going here. You’re clearly hiring me to do a knock off introduction of Crazy Train which will probably get you copyright struck. I don’t care enough to fight you on it, I’m just paid flat rate to read what’s on the page. I’ll let you sort this out while I talk about movies. Tim and Weltall start off with Death Train(1993). A Pierce Brosnan movie where a former USSR General makes two nukes, has a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 223:Sex Train"

Up first Joseph sells his Switch and eats a Blooming Onion, and Andrew shares another small story about his trip to Japan. And finally in the reviews Joseph fights vampires, dragons, and plays the piano in the moonlight. Meanwhile Andrew gets jazzy with it as he lays down a sound saxing.

We founded a new company. We don’t have a charter, funding, or any kind of plan. But we will be offering a Kickstarter. That’s still a thing, right? We pride ourselves on being on the leading edge of trends. See also our brand new NFTs.(Please note this is a joke and don’t worry that we are making NFTs far too late in the party.) Tim has one more visit to Yankee JK Kuzuhana. If you recall, this is the manga where our protagonist, Saotome, is attending a business school. That school was, until recently, only for girls and he’s the only boy there. He’s getting a bit of a harem … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 516: Yankee Girls"

There’s a fascinating era of Hollywood where they just loved making Jack the Ripper into part of a film. This could often manifest as as garbage like Terror at London Bridge where Jack gets resurrected. Or Time After Time where Jack, played by the incredible David Warner, time travels to modern day Los Angeles and begins killing there. But how about a movie that references Jack the Ripper but does nothing with it? Enter, Jack’s Back (1988). The premise is that at the centennial mark of Jack the Ripper killings, a copycat has started up. And they’re killing the same kind of victims as OG Jack. James Spader plays a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 222: To Catch a Spader"

Looks like the boys are back in town. By that, we mean the two hosts you’ve come to know an love so, so much. And by town we mean the manga that evident by the title and number attached. So won’t it be a surprise to everyone when we actually spend the whole time reviewing a pair of riding lawn mowers. Of course we can’t afford any of that. So we start with Tim and Black Night Parade. It’s Christmas in Japan. Our sad sack of a protagonist works at a convenience store and plans on stealing an expired Christmas cake. This gets him in trouble and fired. He stops … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 515: Black-Chan"

Imagine it’s the year two thousand. The President rules America as he travels Europe. After twenty plus years, he’s still vital and oversees our national pastime, Death Race 2000(1975). Fan favorite racer , Frankenstein returns to compete once more along with a few newcomers. Who will collect the most points and kill as they race from New York to L.A.? Those of us in the future know the answer but we’d like you to try this with fresh eyes. Yes, we did the Roger Corman classic Death Race to honor his passing. We figured what better way to pay homage to the man who is responsible for more people being … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 221: Death Sex"

Price check on manga. I need a price check on manga. Yes, I am aware this is a supermarket price check gag and that it was old even back in the eighties. Which means it’s beyond not relevant to make one now. Maybe we could do a random department page over the intercom. Grocery stores still do that. They also do those funny announcements about security like that deters shoplifters. Tim has Blade of Retribution. It’s about a Korea, Shiho, who’s a Kendo master. His sister heads off to college in Seoul. Then she dies and he decides to investigate because she wrote the infinity symbol in her journal. This … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 514: Blade of Mother"

It’s Monday, folks. At least when we’re recording. It also is often when we post because that’s our schedule. But even if it’s one of the other six days of the week, treat it like it’s Monday. By that we mean groan, clock in not more than a second before you’re obligated, and glare at the first people you interact with. Then brace yourself for discussion of movies. We start us off with Hudson Hawk(1991). Depending on how long you’ve been familiar with the man, you might better recognize him as Mister Action star with the patented glower of someone who has less than a minute to get to the … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 220: No Hawk"

Oh my goodness, things are moving along again. That means a post is due. Have we done something about leaves being raked? Does that work for anything? No? Crap. We’ll cut right to the brass tacks then. This is a manga show and we’ve managed to read and produce a review for two. We hope you’ll listen, like, subscribe, and send two box tops plus proof of purchase along with a check for shipping to claim your prize. Tim has Hatarakanai Futari. It’s about a pair of siblings who are shut ins that do fuck all. Focused mostly on the sister, Haruko. The parents are alive and working to get … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 513: MachFut"

Two households, both alike in dignity. In fat America, where we lay our scene. And that’s about all we can figure to work in a Shakespeare reference in the few minutes we knock these out. Besides we wanted to get a little classy before we tackle an A24 movie. Yup, we watched Civil War[2024]. If you’ve seen the trailers, then you’ve got some expectations as to what we’re in for. War scenes, bad things happening, and lots of explosions. Instead, you’re treated to a civil war in the US happening because reasons. And we follow ‘journalists’ as they try and get to the White House to get an interview with … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 219: Freeway Wars"

This week on Anime Pulse we got more previews, attacking someone over spoilers, and 100 year anniversaries. Up first Joseph quickly mentions his attendance at the 100 year anniversary for is other job, before Andrew goes into community with a question about anime eyes. Then in the industry news Andrew takes it away with a stinky Yu-Gi-Oh event, and a man who got a little too heated after Oshi no Ko was spoiled for him. And finally in the second round of previews Joseph finds himself isekai'd to another world where he becomes young again and begins attending a magical high school, but Andrew on the other hand breaks wind as his family mission has him become a fable.

If you’re reading this then you’re probably hearing about all the issues on website posts. Which is ironic because the only way this shows up is that the issues are resolved. One of those kind of funny paradoxes where you get to hear about it for the next couple of episodes now that it’s all done. It’s kind of like getting the results back from a cancer screening after you’ve already had surgery to remove a growth. If it helps, we’ve been keeping up with the recordings at least so we have manga. Tim has Since the Red Moon Appeared. The title is a bit explanatory. Some red moon events … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 512: Red Secretary"

Everyone has heard the word in Hollywood. That word is exploitation and shady sexual favors. Wait, that’s not a word. The word is remake. That thing we’ve been complaining about long enough to wear out a couple of presidents. Hollywood is nothing if not persistent in their endeavor. Once they’ve bit down they will do a death roll until everybody has drowned. So we’re talking about a remake with Road House[2024]. Jake Gyllenhaal is literally not me as a replacement for Patrick Swayze. Whereas Swayze was a vaguely unexplained tough guy, Gyllenhaal is a disgraced MMA fighter. He gets randomly gets found by a small bar owner from the Florida … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 218: Cruel Road"

This week on Anime Pulse we got a bunch of previews, very little IRL news, and space ships! Up first Joseph skips the IRL news section with Andrew to go straight into community, which is all about our favorite anime space ships. Then in the industry news, there is one! And finally we have a chungus previews episode to make up for the fact there will be no show next week. Joseph is banished by his goblin family for buying an elf slave, and Andrew takes a train to camp out with a wise wolf.

This week on Anime Pulse we got no IRL news, short stacks, and a father takes a really long bike ride. Up first is the community section, because both Joseph and Andrew have zero things to talk about. Then in the industry news it's a swap as Joseph is the only one with something to mention, and it's about an old man who rode his bike over 300 miles. And finally in the final reviews before we transition over to previews for the season, Joseph is pouring syrup all over his tiny senpai and Andrew enters into a very long distance relationship with all the drama trappings.

Suddenly there was a shout. The maid pointed towards the entryway. “Look out, he’s got a nug!” She bellowed. We discovered afterwards that she had long been diagnosed as having too much black bile and that lead to a curious condition. A transposing of letters in her speech and reading. This did not affect her day to day for what maid needed to be properly lettered as she polished the silver. Still we were taken aback by the presence of two manga. Tim has Fool Night. Not a night that’s jam packed with jesters, jugglers, and other jovial jackassery. It’s sometime in the future and the world is covered in … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 511: Fool Land"

Then in the industry news we got a single whole topic, but it's pretty big, 60,000 minutes big to be exact! And in the reviews Joseph breaks the economy with his monster drop ability, and Andrew discovers a loli vampire living in his neighborhood.

It seems there’s a little rift open to the past. I can hear ragtime music and people talking in transatlantic accents. Hop in your old bone shaking Model T and drive down past the five and dime. Because we’re on a trip through history and film with Vivacious Lady(1938). Jimmy Stewart plays a professor who meets a nightclub performing girl, Ginger Rogers. They hit it off instantly and get married just before heading back to Jimmy’s home. He’s a bit spineless so he hasn’t told his dad that he’s a married man and hasn’t even consummated. Would you believe that wacky hi jinks and even shenanigans ensue? Tim has Sugar … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 217: Spicy Lady"

Before you there are two drivers. One of them is signed by the publisher and easy to find. The other has to be downloaded from a Megadrive link you found on a Substack post. Choose, but choose wisely. One of them will corrupt your boot sector and force you to reinstall the OS. The other will fix your issue. At least until you forget you did that and reinstall anyway. Weltall has Dr Slump. It’s Akira Toriyama’s first success. We do not talk about Wonder Island, lest we get hit by a solar flare. We have an inventor named Senbei who decides to make a robot girl. She doesn’t know … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 510: Dear Akira"

This week on Anime Pulse we got fake sausages, a duke with blue balls, and a convicted rapist gets the middle finger. Up first Joseph talks about his experience with Dog Haus and a lovely eight plus mile walk, and Andrew might actually have some IRL news for us this week as he promised last time. Then in the industry news Tokyo's High Court says it's ok to call a rapist negative terms, more inaccurate English Dubs, and the good and bad of One-Punch Man season three. And lastly in the reviews Joseph wants to pork his hot blond maid but is cursed with the touch of death, and Andrew attempts to apologize to his girlfriend in the rain but Truck-kun has other ideas.

Let’s talk security. Now, most people don’t think about this but your windows are an overlooked ingress point. Most people will put on sensors or bars. But that won’t keep out the postal goblins. Everyone fails to consider the postal goblins. They slip past all you conventional measures and start dumping flyers for restaurants that aren’t yet open and will close before you can use the coupons. In that vein we have Armed Response[2013]. As often happens, we have a guy and he works at a bar. He starts telling the patrons a story about how he made his money.

Have you tried tater tots? If you went to public school in the United States, it guaranteed you have. We want you to forget those sad, lumps of starch that masquerade as potato bits. Grab some from the store in the frozen section and break out the air fryer. That’s the only way to truly enjoy the delicacy. And if you cannot, well then. Clearly you don’t own an air fryer.

Then in the industry news Andrew is pumped about a new anime by the Rena-a-Girlfriend creator, and Ghibli promotes a new section of its park with an animated video. Lastly in the final previews only episode for the Winter 2024 season, Joseph quickly abandons a snotty Gal in the cold so he can be reincarnated with a hot dragon and sexy spider, and Andrew goes around picking up witches and tosses them in the burnable trash bin.

Oh no, I hear buzzing. It’s either an angry transformer, cicada mating season, or the bees. We all know that there’s nothing worse than the bees. Unless you’re not allergic like Nic Cage’s character in Wickerman. Then they’re mostly pleasant as long as they stick to their job of making honey and pollinating. Like bees featured for a few seconds in The Beekeeper[2024]. How’s that for a non-sequitur intro? Jason Statham is a Beekeeper. Not the, just a. And that involves him keeping bees on the property of a nice old lady. Until she gets scammed by a drive by pop up that tells her she has all the viruses. … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 215: Bee Paradise"

Lastly in the previews Joseph gets married to five princesses after adopting a Java Sparrow, and Andrew dies in a plain crash and finds he has become a pretty female doctor for the 7th time in a row.

We’re really going to shake things up today. We have a manga. But wait, there’s more! Manga that is. Ok, you caught us. We’re not really breaking the mold here. We’re being reliable. The kind of reviewers you can count on to deliver quality content. Or at least content that is delivered. We’re kind of dissembling here because this week’s bit isn’t all fleshed out and we had to get something down for the episode description. Tim has Bocchi the Rock. If you’re into manga or anime you’ve probably heard about this one. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, hue hue. It’s a slice of life about Hitori. She … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 508: Hot Rock"

And lastly in our previews for the week we have a rare joint preview as Joseph and Andrew are nearly killed by a smiling statue and become players, then Joseph gets enslaved to some sexy demon fighters and Andrew goes to Hawaii to battle an unknown enemy along side a Japanese transformer.

Wait, is that a box? What’s in the box? No, really, what’s in the box? You’d be forgiven for thinking this means we’re talking about a well known and referenced nineties movie. We are talking about a movie that was part of the “have to watch” if you were slightly into film in that era though. Featuring a no-star Canadian cast that can’t help but beg for a box of Timbits and subpar coffee with every meaningful glance. Which can only mean the box we referenced prior has to be part of Cube(1997). The premise is fairly simple. There’s a bunch of cube rooms connected to other cube rooms. Some … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 214: Cube-age"

This week on Anime Pulse we got the abolishment of antiquated technology, telling people to die kills them, and a very small community section. Up first Joseph doesn't have much to say about anything so he passes on his IRL news to Andrew, who has forgotten to post a community question right up until the last handful of hours before the show.

You know those cooking shows where they bring on the absolute worst people? Like, they find someone who was born without a sense of taste because they were raised on a steady diet of pizza rolls and hot cheetos. Then they give them a kitchen stocked full of ingredients and let them loose. Neither do we but we’d like to see it happen. Especially if they were forced to try and remake something akin to their favorite food. Luckily we have a couple of manga to make up for the lack of what could be on TV. Tim has A Knight With a Time Limit. It’s an isekai which serves … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 507: Brave Knight"
