This week on Anime Pulse we got wasp swarms, hacking ghosts, and no community!? Up first IRL news sees Andrew back in London but not before going on the run of a lifetime, and Joseph found himself on the receiving end of a buzzing menace. Then in the industry news, there is none! And without any community segment, because Andrew got a bit sidetracked with IRL life things, that means the final previews centric show sees things out. Joseph discovers there’s a reincarnated skeleton in his body made up of 100 girlfriends, Andrew transforms into a giant lizard that is totally not Godzilla so he can beat up other girls in fighting games, and then the two join forces to assassinate corrupt politicians, dive into their hot boss’s mind, and abandon homeless children.
