It’s the week before Christmas, but that doesn’t mean Anime Pulse won’t stop giving the reviews. First up though IRL news has Joseph excited to hand out the gifts he bought, and Andrew wants to know who your top waifus and husbandos are. Afterwards industry news brings us topics like sleeping around with Monster Girls, the good and the bad of tourism, and yes, even more KickVic news. And lastly the reviews have Joseph adopting a demon loli, and Andrew travels to Mount Fuji with a bunch of moe girls.
We hope you enjoyed our guests from MFA, and be sure to keep an ear out for an appearance Joseph and Andrew will be making on their podcast in the coming week. With that said, this week on Anime Pulse we’re talking about spending our savings on a gatcha game, watching bad anime all the way to the end, and playing a deadly game of truth or dare. First up IRL news reveals Joseph has been in a giving mood this season, and Andrew got lost in Germany. Afterwards the industry news rolls through with new, oh so gracious, copyright laws in Japan and the man stepping in Vic’s shoes gets trolled. And finally the reviews wraps things up as Joseph goes planet hopping, and Andrew becomes king of a game.

The local con season has come and gone and that means it’s time for more manga selected from a grab bag for Tim. This time the manga roulette has brought Tim to The Saga of Tanya the Evil. It’s an isekai where the protagonist is a salary man on earth who enjoys firing people. One of his firees takes this badly and shoves him in front of a subway train. In the afterlife, he meets various gods who want people to believe in them so they send him into a world of magic to be reborn as a girl soldier. The characters is lazy and obnoxious and fun to watch. It gets a Crackers.
Weltall then does Perfect School. Two twins, a boy and girl, are just switching schools. We don’t know why this has happened but we start to get hints. She begins by identifying a girl in class who appears to be ripe for psychological manipulation. She convinces the other girl to change her hair and this begins the protagonist weaving wicked strings throughout the school. It’s not very engaging or up our alley though the premise pushes it up to Borders.

The requests keep coming and they don’t stop coming. We’ve got another two sent in via the po box. Films from Rooster Teeth reviewed in the order of release tackled by both of us. This will be a bit different as we’re not inherent fans of the group aware of outside of a few things like RWBY or Red Vs Blue.
Being surrounded by a sea of otaku, the positive influence for anime, and cooking anime. These and more topics are what you’ll find on this week’s episode of Anime Pulse. First up IRL is out like a flash with The Outer Worlds still failing to hook Joseph and Andrew seeks out the answer to if anime has been a positive or negative influence on your life; with examples.
