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”

At long last the final episode of Winter 2016 previews has arrived, after this Anime Pulse will return to it’s regularly scheduled program of reviews. Starting things off this week is “less drunk” Red, who is sober enough to actually not make sexually references every ten seconds as he does his IRL news. Meanwhile Ryo is doing much better, in that she has not had a case of the cracking-head-open-against-desks this week. After IRL news it’s onto the Industry News, with Red’s article about love confessions and Ryo’s about another Hatsune Miku figurine. After all is said and done we come to the final previews, and a brand new outro; let me know what you think! This could be something that changes every week for now on, or it could be something new to replace the old that signifies the ending.

Aaaaaaand we’re back. Ladies and gentlemen Anime Pulse returns from a three week break, which we address right at the start of the show. That and the scare tactic from Red last show, both issues are addressed before either host move onto their IRL news. Speaking of which, Ryo is falling apart. Literally. And Red, well, he’s flying high earning the big bucks at work and spending it all on shirts. With the weekly updates out of the way next up is industry news, where Red talks about monster girl hentai and Ryo is all about those damn birds. And finally a new season hath come and with it brings new shows, so Red and Ryo dig into the Winter 2016 season.

We’re back and this time we brought a cheap swirling background. Oooooo bad special effects sure do get my motor running! Blonde and I review a hentai that feels a tad bit like Freaky Friday if that movie followed the title more closely. After that we discuss the pros and cons of sex robots.

This week on VG Pulse, we buy a new console! We start off with side notes of a midnight outing and Christmas stories, before we head off into the regular news where we discuss the absurd price of the Oculus Rift, as well as rumours about when we might finally hear some details about Nintendo’s NX console! After the news we finally do our final review of Fallout 4, and close out with talk of food, anime, and Bloodborne!

So here’s a test. Who reads this? Who still listens? Let me know in comments section for this episode. This is going to be a pretty important test, and depending on its outcome Red is going to either keep rolling with the show or is going to hit the switch and put this podcast to bed. So if you still want this show to be a thing you’d better speak up, otherwise Anime Pulse will come to an end. That said, here’s the rundown for this episode: Red and Ryo try a new introduction with Red partially messing it up, and then they go straight into IRL news. After which Red reads the list of the most villains characters in anime and Ryo talks about an expensive Lum statue, or is it a figurine? Who really cares, it’s a giant depiction of Lum that’s probably already sold out. And to cap things off Red reviews the strong-female-warrior anime of Madan no Ou to Vanadis, and Ryo reviews the monster-girl filled world of Monster Musume.
