This week on Anime Pulse we got fake sausages, a duke with blue balls, and a convicted rapist gets the middle finger. Up first Joseph talks about his experience with Dog Haus and a lovely eight plus mile walk, and Andrew might actually have some IRL news for us this week as he promised last time. Then in the industry news Tokyo's High Court says it's ok to call a rapist negative terms, more inaccurate English Dubs, and the good and bad of One-Punch Man season three. And lastly in the reviews Joseph wants to pork his hot blond maid but is cursed with the touch of death, and Andrew attempts to apologize to his girlfriend in the rain but Truck-kun has other ideas.
