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 index anime does feel like its chopped up sections of the light novel. Despite the cool elements & themes it kind of let itself down
Wakkako -zake was a delightful little anime. It was about a working gal who pops into restaurants after a day of work. She basically has a g-rated foodgasm every episode
Joey, I think I can gain your interest in Gundam again. No, there’s no adult as a protagonist this time. This Gundam is different, though. I’m talking about Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans, or Gundam: Iron Blooded Harem.
Gundam IBO is basically gangsters in space, and the lead dude is basically a kudere child soldier type. I guess ladies love monotone, because the ladies in this show want to jump his bones.
There are all sorts if female characters in this show. We’ve got princesses, bruisers, mom types- nearly every archetype you’d like.
I won’t reveal how these relationships end, but I’ll just say that it’s worth it to pilot a Gundam.
