The real trouble with Tribbles isn’t that they eat everything and reproduce like Duggars on methenphatamine fertility treatments. It’s that they attach themselves to the skulls of suit wearing business “tycoons” and convince them to play in politics. Why, we’re sure if you stopped and think about it you could probably name at lest one boardroom surfing twat hammer who’s so afflicted. Unfortunately, the only cure is a flamethrower to the face.

With Summer finally gone, we can clean up the sand and put away the barbecue. Now it’s time to start saving up for holiday shopping seeing as Summer never reimbursed us for gas, beer or snacks. Summer’s a bit of a mooch, is what we’re saying. We’ll still welcome them back when Spring leaves us alone and afraid. Continue reading “Manga Pulse 337: Little Bites”

This installment of the shows pairs well with either a spring bottled red and a steak, done to your specifications but if it’s well done you should know you’re a heathen. For the beer drinker we recommend a grilled chicken and a slightly chilled IPA. For the more dedicated among you, we recommend a finger of whiskey. Continue reading “Manga Pulse 336: Magma 4”

Not believing in the Kobayashi Maru doesn’t make it any easier to beat, as Weltall and Tim found out recently. It also turns out the hiding under the console and screaming that you’ll turn over the ship if they’ll just leave you an escape pod and let you live isn’t a wining strategy. Those Trekkies take their reenactments seriously and can bruise when provoked. Continue reading “Manga Pulse 335: Path to the DMZ”

There are some things in life which are just plain classy. A finger of whiskey, neat on a cold day. A silk tie done in a proper Windsor knot. The clean lines of an Aston Martin. We, however, do not have much truck with class. We could explain more but you’ll only understand once you’ve listened to this episode where we tackle sensitive subjects like a raging bull after a cape.

Late starts aren’t new to anyone in the world, we assume. This is especially true for everyone in the Delayed Puberty Awareness support chain on Tumblr. We began a bit late as recordings were in progress and Weltall’s managa was loading slower than a geriatric lumper.

Tim began with a review of Othello in which an animated doormat wakes up and goes to school. She hangs out with a group of girls who hate her because doormat’s parents gave her the Japanese version of the devil’s dictionary. Luckily doormat’s split personality awakens and begins to get vengeance on her friends.

Weltall then discusses Kangoku Gakuen. It’s about an all girls school that’s forced to allow boys in but only five. They all adjust to school life normally and one of them graduates which honors which he shares with a female friend he never harbored a secret desire for…is what you’d expect if you’ve never seen a manga before. Instead, there are lots of the usual staples. Titties! Fear boners! Shennaigans! Also, random titillation because they forgot porn is easier to find.

Weltall: Kangoku Gakuen – Even if you receive it as a present, burn the book and piss on the ashes.
Tim the Enchanter: Othello – Even if you receive it as a present, burn the book and piss on the ashes.

No music cause it was on the franken PC and I barley got it out as is…

Finally, a show that focuses on the manga. You’d almost think we’ve done one of these once in awhile or something. Through the magic of circumstance we both managed to do some slice of life mangas at the same time. Considering how dull they usually are, it’s nothing short of a miracle if we generated some entertainment from them.

Tim talks about Saikyou Densetsu Kurosawa. It’s a slice of life about a socially awkward construction worker who wants desperately to be popular. He decides that he will find way, in his simple and methodical way, to win the hearts and minds of his coworkers. Being socially inept, he fails multiple times. And while the story isn’t as excruciating as some it only earns a borders.

Weltall then discusses Cheese in the Trap, a manwha. Like the lives of some people we must all know, at some point, it goes nowhere and does nothing. Sort of like a fat pigeon glued to a manhole cover. It’s about a girl who resents a boy for reasons the author doesn’t want to elaborate upon. Without any character growth or substance to speak of, it too earned itself a borders.

We often receive a number of suggestions which we ignore in our email. Solicitations to buy blue strawberry plants, pleasure our women longer or to find out the one weird food you should never eat end up in the trash. However, we almost always fulfill our manga shows with the suggestions of listeners. The chief reason being we are often lazy and get tired of hitting the random button.

It is time, once again, for an episode where we discuss the mangas. That’s right, we talk about the drawings done in panels which purport to be some sort of art. In our continuing quest to prove otherwise, Tim and Weltall perform admirably and full of vinegar. Continue reading “Manga Pulse 324: It Hurts”

We’re here once again to talk about the power of the dash. Some people prefer heat seeking missiles or the old fashioned machine guns but a quick burst of speed will always be our personal favorite. There’s nothing quite like punching it when someone attempts to come up from behind and leaving them in your wake. Continue reading “Manga Pulse 323: Hell Sword”
