This week on Anime Pulse we got Florida hype, being teased by your super sexy maid, and the coolest sunglasses in anime. Up first in the IRL news Joseph took a nice long walk, and Andrew has had a bit of an emergency. Then in the industry news we only got one topic, as Joseph was feeling hungry and went with some food news about Burger King. And finally in a surprising Gattai episode, Joseph the hero attends an event to become the next demon lord all while his hot blond maid lifts her dress at him and Andrew (does not) get back into the giant robot.
