This week on Anime Pulse we got the worst monster girls and guys, trying to be evil and failing, and a total failure of a unboxing stream. Up first IRL news with Andrew talking about not having much luck in his Street Fighter tournaments, and Joseph opened some cards for an audience of none. Then in the industry news, Netflix might somehow be causing a change in the way Japan produces anime. Lastly in this gattai special as Andrew looks through a prism to read the journal of a death game, and Joseph gets a harem, a giant robot, and an entire fleet of spaceships after reincarnating.
