This week on Anime Pulse we got the opening of Fall Festival Giveaway, isekai cooking, and anime movies of a lifetime. First up IRL news where Andrew has been on a streak lately in Street Fighter, and Joseph has been collecting a ton a trash in hopes of winning a million dollars. Then in the industry news, a vtuber Joseph use to follow is in hot water after her ex-boyfriend posts about her abusive behavior and Naruto’s director doesn’t care what anyone says. Lastly we reach the reviews where Joseph uses his super culinary skills to cook up orc, dragon, and kraken.

Popcorn Pulse 270: Mental Vengeance

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It’s been a very busy week. People constantly running around, doing things. Having all sorts of consequences. Honestly we’re happy that it’s been as calm as we can hope for as summer winds down. We’ll just be glad to not have to run the air conditioning all the damn time. Maybe have an excuse to wear a hoody outside and take along our concealed manga. But that’s a whole other show. We have Vengeance: A Love Story[2017].

It seems there’s another superhero movie out and we need to watch it. Who’s making this demand of us? No one in particular that we can point to. It’s just a sort of need. We can feel it. They call to us. Like the pirates of a certain ship in a much better movie. So we watched Supergirl[2026].

Manga Pulse 563: Domu-Sama

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We recently were watching a show, a British show, where the host cheekily complained about making so many custom intros for their show. Wow, that must be a lot of intros that they’ve done. Let us look up and take count. Two hundred, that must be a lot. If you’re some sort of amateur. We beat the pants off of that. Of course we forgive the anglo for thinking they work.
