Ze Shows Anime Pulse

This week on Anime Pulse we got manga animated with texture rigging, getting down with the sickness, and anime to watch with aliens. Up first Andrew returns from his minor break to indulge us with his stories from the trip, and Joseph got a sinus infection and actually had to take a sick day off of work. Then we give a pass to industry news, because previews tend to run the show a little too long, but the community is still here with some Ayy LAMO. Lastly we're into a new season with new anime as Joseph east monsters, becomes a great sage, and is totally not banging his ninja-like companion. Andrew meanwhile becomes a North Star rooster who uses petals to reincarnate.

Does anything take you back to the good old days more than a Scholastic Bookfair? Not Tim because his parents didn’t authorize the spend for such things. There were plenty of books in the library for practically free. Kids who’s parents wanted to encourage reading though might remember the covers of Animorphs. You know, those hilariously bad transformations of some random kid turning into a boring animal. Well it was also a show! So this one is going to be a bit different as we didn’t both watch the show or read the books. Vanessa did though and she’s going to try and sell Tim on the experience. Listen to … Continue reading "Script 2 Script 37: Animorphs"

This must be the fake movie phone episode. What with the five five five starting us off. Does Hollywood even bother with that anymore? If not, it’s now ours. And we’ll make loads of disgusting lucre, we’re talking hundreds of yen per year, to license it out. Why we’ll be able to retire or at least die. Either way we have some manga reviews. Tim starts us off with Hooligan’s. This has nothing to do with either ne’er do wells nor with unruly soccer fans. It’s about alchemy in a vague Victorian-esque era. That’s also three hundred years after the discovery of alchemy. There’s a group of supreme alchemists who … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 555: Hooligan’s Abyss"

Look, we really like going back through film catalogs of famous actors. But if death could just slow it the heck down for a bit. Maybe go collect some mosquitoes instead. Because there are only so many losses we can take and the Academy’s “in memoriam” isn’t going to get them all at this rate. So we just said goodbye to Robert Duvall and decided to do something that was around but was not the Godfather. We have The Outfit(1973), a movie based on a novel. Which Tim has a few interesting, he swears, tidbits about the author and character. Duvall is getting out of jail after he and his … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 261: Fuzzy Wuzzy’s Outfit"

We count on our volunteer skywatch to be on the lookout for threats. Make sure you know your region designation, your local chapter captain, and the report number you’re to call if you spot anything. As always be on the lookout for the most devious air threat, the dual manga review. This twin engine menace will appeared at dusk on Mondays, ready to strike like a ninja. In fact it looks like there’s one coming in right now! First up is Tim with SHWD. The cover tells us this is pronounced “should”. Like, should you even bother opening this up and reading it?

Lastly more reviews with Joseph failing to properly communicate with the hero's party, and Andrew gets back on that saddle and recruits some spicy horses.

How may reviews for Superman movies does the world need? It needs ours and that’s about it. Everyone else can go back to Krypton. Yes, we sat down and finally watched James Gunn’s Superman[2025]. We figured we didn’t want to place it in the list of movies we’d watch when we get around to a theme episode sometime. If you’ve existed in Western pop culture, you know the basics. Alien from Krypton, many many powers, raised in Kansas, and fights villains. Some differences here are that Papa Kent is alive and both the Kents are lobotomized boomers who can’t operate a phone. Louis Lane is obnoxious, maybe that’s closer to … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 260: Superbunny"

Have you taken your vitamin C lately? Health advice? No, we’re asking if you’ve taken a double dose of manga reviews. You might think that would be vitamin M or maybe R. We say C because it’s short for charm which our reviews are never short of. Of course we’ll probably forget this the next time a description needs be made but that’s all part of our vitamin C. Up first is Tim with The Regressed Sword Saint’s Magic Theory. There’s a magic world where our dude is the titular Sword Saint. A man so skilled he basically defeats anyone at anytime. The only thing is he’s always wondering what … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 553: Handyman Magic"

All this and more up next on VGP … Continue reading "VG Pulse 430: NASA Grade Engineering"

You know what people really love? No, not millions of dollars in unmarked bills delivered to their front door. It’s sequels after years of waiting. Which is why the movie Tron: Legacy was the most beloved of all. So how do you follow up with that? Wait over fifteen years and deliver another sequel. So we get Tron: Ares[2025]. Tron: Ares asks the bold question, did anybody watch or remember Tron: Legacy? It stars Evan Peters as the grandson of Dillinger and he created Ares, played by Jared Leto.

MX17 – Sorry for the lateness in the posting of this show and also the quality of said show.

Where do we get those wonderful toys? At the wonderful toy store, of course. It’s something like the FAO Schwarz toy store but it has electronics. Like Virtual Boys that are done in green so it doesn’t fry your retinas. Then you end up trading apartments with Jerry Seinfeld while addicted to Kenny Rogers chicken. There. Is that enough somewhat discordant chains of logic to fill the beginning of this now? Off to the manga. Tim has Break New World. It’s dystopian and you can tell that because everyone has to wear chokers. They all have a social credit system from A through E. People who suck enough to be … Continue reading "Manga Pulse 552: PTSWorld"
