This week on Anime Pulse we got a brand spanking new season of anime, a connivence store that will be nothing but the ice cream isle, and the best filler arc to grace us. Up first Joseph updates us on the Fall Festival Giveaway, and Andrew updates us on Scotland Loves Anime. Then in the industry news some illustrations for Lycoris Recoil are changed to avoid killing cosplayers, and a Kit Kat commercial makes us adore the chocolate. And in the final section the previews return with Joseph and Andrew putting on their belt jackets, speaking German, and becoming Stylish Ruffian Slayers.

Especially if the social media hype has gotten to you. Then you watched it and promptly forgot about it. Which is how Tim and Weltall became probably the last two people in the world to bother watching a Netflix original movie that came out months ago.

This week on Anime Pulse we got a Japanese mayor who moonlights as the Punisher, a RomCom that doesn’t cause massive cases of cringe, and anime that inspired us to become more than we were. Up first Joseph has been putting up with cats, organizing shelves, and running a monster girl brothel. Meanwhile Andrew hasn’t been doing much, so we skip right into the community stuff to talk about biscuit hammer and what anime has pushed us to pursue. And finally in the reviews Joseph attempts to use smoke signals to talk to a very short and cute classmate, and Andrew is confessed to by a girl after failing to properly respond to a confession by a guy.
