Just one second. Kackkk! OK, I think I hacked it all up. Yes, we have two mangas as usual for your approval. Or not. We’re not your dad.

This week on Anime Pulse we got Team Rocket levels of crime, a one-sided Demon Slayer review, and questioning anime characters. Up first Joseph doesn’t have much to say about his week for once and Andrew does a little better in his Street Fighter rankings, but the community section steals the show with a very small number of replies to an ask-me-anything themed interview with any character of your choice. Then in the industry news Black Lagoon opens two cafes, a costly Demon Slayer advertisement, and resealed Pokemon cases found full of drugs. And lastly in the reviews Joseph graduates from demon school feeling a little underwhelmed, and Andrew goes to the Red Light district to hunt demons.

Oscar season has come and gone and left us with little to talk about. That’s because we don’t care about the awards because we’re not professionals. At least that’s our excuse. Still, one film dared us to talk about it with all the sappy reunion stories leaking like yogurt out of that hooker we paid in two thousand seven. We have Everything Everywhere All at Once[2022].

Manga Pulse 493: Embarrassed Bro

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

How many language can mangas come in? That depends on how you slice it. If you’re being a bit of a pedant and talking about the source, it’s probably Japanese only. Otherwise you’d call it by the local name like manhwa or manhua. If you’re talking about translations from the source, then however many languages you can translate into. Here we are, solving problems and answering questions.

Popcorn Pulse 197: Quiet Rain

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

With Weltall’s impending trip to the land of the rising sun which illuminates the tentacle porn, we figured a movie about Japan would be just right. It’s from the eighties if that helps and isn’t a comedy. It’s also not weekend at Bernie’s though that’s been requested over seven hundred times. We figure that’s an outlier from a rabid Terry Kiser fan. If you’re reading this, Gerald, we’ll get to it if and when we choose.
