Popcorn Pulse 263: Last Station

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Let’s start off with a joke. What comes after sunset? Knight time! What better way to segue into the movie we have. It’s all about knights but not the last one. Also it’s a tale about a knight but not a knight’s tale. It’s about the last ones, the Last Knights[2015], if you will. There was no more after this. They were all clearanced out and we moved on to things like surfers.

This week on Anime Pulse we got more previews? Yeah, remember when Joseph said last show was the last previews show? He lied. Up first is IRL news with Andrew has regained his audio quality, and Joseph did his first mow of the year. Then in the industry news we have nothing, but community makes up for it with anime original characters. And finally those pesky previews have Joseph attempting to save his lesbian sister from breaking up with her girlfriend by finding a lover himself, and Andrew performs food rakugo to reunite modern day Japan under one banner.

Oh no, you just posted cringe! You are going to lose subscriber! Jokes on you, buddy, we always post cringe. We are creatures of embarrassment, shaped by these experiences as much as our victories. We don’t like it but we do not fight it like some people. We do a manga review show so there’s something of a floor to the expectation we just have to accept.

Popcorn Pulse 262: Silence of War

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The impossible has finally come to pass. Star Citizen has been release in full, fully realized. It’s sweeping awards in every category and Netflix has already paid the studio one billion dollars to adapt it to streaming. Or maybe Chuck Norris has passed and rather suddenly. Which at least prompted a resurgence of old internet memes. To that effect though, we have Code of Silence(1985).

This week on Anime Pulse we got more previews, mall walks, and our favorite villains. Up first IRL news has Andrew has been smashing it with his weekly fitness targets, and Joseph won $200 in a raffle. Just one piece of news about Dragon Ball, and then it is straight into the previews. Joseph abducts a princess knight after his village is decimated by a blond loli just to tell her that her skirt is too short, and Andrew is feeling romantical as he replicates an ice queen in new game plus.

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.

Script 2 Script 37: Animorphs

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

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!
