This week on Anime Pulse we got the annual Anime Pulse Christmas Gift Exchange, the worst anime of 2023, and Pro Mercy Joseph. Up first the IRL news has Joseph tooting his own horn about his Mercy game in Overwatch 2, and Andrew has been up and down the country all week long while playing a Meteoroid game on the 3DS. Then in the industry news there's just one thing worth mentioning, and that's a big name in anime who think he's still got plenty more to learn. And lastly in the reviews Joseph wonders why isekai protagonists would prefer magic and monsters over plumbing and showers, and Andrew is training to be the best Santa there ever was.
