This week on Anime Pulse we got more bad tourists, fall festival giveaway winners, and golden apples of youth. Up first Joseph shelved BioShock after a bug cost him some time, and Andrew was down with the sickness. Then in the industry news a rather young idol is hoping Santa will visit her this year, and some big names in the vtubing community are graduating. Finally in the reviews Joseph gets an extension on his life thanks to all those apples he eats, and Andrew is engaged to a space oni against his will.
