This week on Anime Pulse we got muscular tomboys, a Mario game night, and grapes. Up first Joseph bemoans the quality of Applebee's food, and Andrew wants to know about our favorite monsters in anime. Then in the industry news Crunchyroll is giving away money to all their users, and an executive for a big anime publishing company is in hot water. And finally in the reviews Joseph refuses to believe his tomboy best friend has a nice rack, and Andrew ends up in an arranged marriage to a down on her luck and abused girl.
