Get your tissues folks, because this week Anime Pulse is suffering from hay fever. Well, at least half of it is. Starting us off is the IRL news where Joseph talks about selling out for Borderlands loot, and Andrew has the opposite question to last week where he wants to know what anime we’ve grown out of. Industry news rolls in with FGO popularity drops, the top food anime, and the UN’s anime ban proposal being slapped down. And lastly the reviews cap things off, with Joseph venturing forth into the murky waters of drama and Andrew punch girls with his anti-magical fist of justice.
The spring previews are over, meaning Anime Pulse returns to their regularly scheduled reviews. First up IRL news comes at you with Joseph wrapping up his time on Borderlands GOTY edition, and Andrew wants to know what anime have you warmed up to over time. Afterwards the industry news is full up of fake copyright strikes, disappointed manga authors, and Akira Toriyama being knighted in France. And finally the two wrap up with reviews, with Joseph failing to take off in a living plane and Andrew confessing his love to a girl who can’t hear him.
Wait a second, is it me or did it get kind of dark in here? Because I’m positive Joseph just previewed a softcore porn. That’s right, we got basically hentai, police losing their shit over nothing, and your least favorite genres of anime. IRL news follows along as Joseph is once again on his own, and Andrew updates us on the KickVic situation. Industry news hits us with Cup Noodle animated shorts, and Crunchyroll fumbling their job in an amusing way. And finally we come to our final previews show for this season, as Joseph punches his way out of a hentai and Andrew strikes out twice trying to play baseball.
Break out your sun tan lotion and get the ice, because this week on Anime Pulse we are laying out the burns on both ourselves and others. First up is IRL news where Joseph has mowed his lawn until he turned into a crispy chicken, and Andrew wants to know who we think the worst Anime Moms are. Afterwards the two talk more about the ongoing KickVic saga, as well as shooting models into space for the olympics. And finally the previews this week cap us off, Joseph being reborn in another world as an overpowered samurai who hunts demons and Andrew plays us a musical number while shoving a kappa up someones ass.
Are you ready to sell your soul to the loli devil? Good, because this week Joseph upsets all the ANN readers with one his previews. Before we get to that, the guys hit us with what has been going on with them IRL. Afterwards the industry news is short and sad, as Anime New Network loses its shit over loli fox girls and mangaka all across Japan scramble to buy up watercolor ink. And lastly are more previews, with Joseph introducing us to a feel-good loli fox girl and a cat-ish girl from Nagoya, and Andrew summons his newest stand to help translate the romantic feelings between two mythological creatures.
This week on Anime Pulse the crew talks about anime being used in politics, going on a cleaning spree, and more anime from the spring 2019 season. First up is IRL news with Joseph being alone at home for a week and five days, and Andrew gets into community asking about what anime we have backlogged. Then with industry news, we got topics like an Anti-Moe animation talking down on anime and Kizuna Ai making it into the big leagues of most respected people in the world. And finally the previews wrap things up, as Joseph picks up some harems and Andrew puts on some slightly off color rose tinted glasses.
After taking a week off for Easter, the Anime Pulse crew returns just in time to open up 2019’s spring anime catalog. As usual Joseph and Andrew begin with IRL news, covering the things they’ve been up to since we least heard from them. Afterwards industry news is back with 20 foot Gundams for sale on Craigslist, the KickVic saga continues, and the passing of horses that have been immortalized in anime. And finally the previews return, as Joseph has one very bad show and one “ok” show and Andrew fulfills his contract to the devil with more cute girls doing cute things.
On today’s episode of Anime Pulse we celebrate the 600th episode, and the 14th coming of our ancestral founder Ichigo. He joins Joseph and Andrew as they discuss what has been going on with Ichigo, as well as submitting the questions from our dear listeners for him to answer. We also talk about Ichigo the firefighter, what anime tropes you hate the most, and we even hear from our resident Southern Belle. No show will be held on Easter, but look forward to our return the week after where we’ll be covering the new anime of Spring 2019.
Remember dear listeners, episode 600 will feature an old favorite of the show, Ichigo! If you want to ask the OG host of Anime Pulse any questions, you may submit them in the forums or by leaving them in the comments on either this or episode 598’s comments section. Want to know his favorite Japanese food? Why he is called the ‘Emo Eskimo’? Or perhaps how he came to be called Ichigo in the first place? All these questions and more are yours to ask! But first on this episode of Anime Pulse, Joseph talks about his new kink of being bullied by women and Andrew falls asleep watching Shazam. Industry news gets kids hyped for exercise, as well as JSDF trying to temp otaku to join with shotas. And the reviews wrap us up with Andrew tricking everyone into think he is reviewing an anime in 4 words, and Joseph enjoying a battle known as love where the loser is the first to confess.
What happens when your family gets caught looking at child porn? What manga do otaku want to see adapted into anime? And can you win the heart of a man by inventing a way for him to drink your pee? All these questions and more are answered on this episode of Anime Pule. First up Joseph quickly jaunts through his week of IRL news, and Andrew asks us what conventions we would like to attend. Afterwards the two discuss the mask wearing Yoko Taro quitting his VR-YouTuber jig, and an ESL textbook teaching by using an ‘in another world’ story. And lastly the two go through their reviews, with Joseph overlooking a dense male protagonist and Andrew goes on a happy-friendly quest to find his mommy.
