Episode 919: Fall 2025 Preview #3

This week on Anime Pulse we got unboxing updates, the Goku of isekai, and man-made creatures. Up first Andrew got stuck in traffic coming back from a golf trip, and Joseph has a solid date for the unboxing stream. Then we glaze over no industry news, again, before delving right into the last round of previews. Joseph finds out he a classless vampire who sucks at sucking but believes anything is possible if you just train enough, while Andrew puts on a super hero mask and gets his butt kicked time and time again before going bald.

Popcorn Pulse 252: Novocaine Kiss

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Anything interesting in the news today? There is, of course, another Tron movie out that no one asked for. Which people seem to be praising the score once again. And for some reason Jared Leto is headlining it. Good thing we didn’t do it for this show. Though there is always the looming threat we will do that. Lucky for us there is alcohol. Speaking of which we watched Novocaine[2025].

Manga Pulse 545: Isekai Panic

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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.

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. Joseph gets isekai’d as an assassin who collects materials to use at a campfire cookout, and Andrew reincarnates as a villainess who loves monster meat and punching women.

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.

This week on Anime Pulse we got Andrew back from Japan, Joseph reading all 1000 pages, and Fall previews. Up first Andrew fills us in on his second time in the promise land, and Joseph has put in a worrying amount of time into Stardew Valley. Then in the industry news the indie vtubing community has once again been torn asunder, as the hellhound has returned. Finally the previews see us out with Joseph unlocking his gatcha luck summoning an awkward office worker to be the last boss, and Andrew is in love with a furry who is so ordinary he drinks from a ramune bottle.

Manga Pulse 544: No Isekai

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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.

This week on Anime Pulse we got gender swapping isekai dads, smart phone limitations, and apartment hunting. Up first Joseph gives the sad news about his offer on a house, and Andrew asks the community who their top female villains in anime are. Then in the industry news there is none, but don’t worry, we got another edition of Would or Wouldn’t. Finally in the last review before Andrew heads to Japan for two weeks, the guys team up to tackle Joseph’s first foray into the villainess genre but with an otaku father twist to the mix.
