Episode 910: Summer 2025 Previews #4

This week on Anime Pulse we got horny islands, painful walks, and fighting games. Up first Joseph recounts his journey on Friday of walking 16 miles, and Andrew is still on that fighting game grind after a rank reset. Then in the industry news we have none, don’t worry though Andrew will talk about something later on. And finally round four of previews has Joseph escaping from horny women so he can solo camp and make dishes using math, while Andrew rolls some rocks at some pins in the city.

Manga Pulse 540: Betrayed Balls

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Another manga show, so another pair of manga and a pair of ratings. Just another day in paradise where the manga is always ready to be smacked down or uplifted. You would be wrong though and gloriously so. We actually have three manga today though one dovetails right into the other. Like a box joint of mixed metaphors.

We have bad news for you, bank teller person. The robbery is coming from inside the bank! Of course robberies usually happen inside a bank if they are bank robberies. Ones conducted outside of them are can be classified as cash in transit heists if the thieves are stealing from the vehicle itself. Important notes if you’re planning on being listed on the FBI’s list of most wanted bank robbers. That way you can say you were on the scoreboard when you’re in federal prison.

It’s hot in Topeka so we recommend that you stay hydrated. Also don’t forget to grab a string cheese on the way out. We bought them in bulk and don’t want to see them expire. Hell, take two and have one for later. We also have the knock off bag juice products. Capone Solar really isn’t that bad if you don’t mind the taste of old orange and pickle juice.

Popcorn Pulse 245: Hero Cat

Punch, kick, it’s all in the mind. Or that’s what weirdos will tell you. Then you strike them in the face and ask them if that was simply a personal construct or not. Of course they will go call the cops which is the adult version of tattling. Which is really the only reason nihilists and solopsists get away with being smug jerks in a civilized society. Let us bring that around to Chuck Norris.
