Episode 961: Sentenced to Be a Fighting Game

This week on Anime Pulse we got girls playing Street Fighter, the death of a director, and raises. Up first IRL news with Andrew hitting a fighting game wall, and Joseph gets a raise that is so lackluster he looked to see if Amazon was hiring. Then in the industry news, Space Battleship Yamato’s director passed away at the ripe old age of 98. Finally ending off with more reviews as Joseph is forced to be a hero with a loli goddess who requests head pats, and Andrew somehow ended up at an all-girls school where they secretly play button smashing fighter games.

Lastly are the previews with Joseph being kicked from his party for confessing to a cute girl he killed to save her from becoming a demon lord, and Andrew dons a suit of samurai armor after he eats a curse and gains a high school girl follower.
