This week on Anime Pulse we got groundhog day romances, snagging hot merchandise, and anti-heroes. Up first Andrew is back from his Chinese New Year celebrating, and Joseph got some GamerSupps merch just in time to buy more. Then in the industry news a lewd artist got in hot water with the vtubing group VSPO. And finally the reviews wrap things up with Joseph living in a walled city watched over by Ramiel, and Andrew making a sci fi sandwich out of three singular episode anime.
