This week on Anime Pulse we got blinking all over the place, the best anime of 2024, and muscle mommies. Up first Joseph passed on returning to BioShock to instead play Dishonored, and Andrew asks the community what their best anime of 2024 was. Then in the industry news we got some isekai coming at us, the ten things tourists do that annoy the Japanese on trains, and the return of One Piece. And finally in the last reviews of 2024 Joseph becomes OP after hitting level two and proceeds to bang a wold girl, and Andrew works at a temple with a lazy elf who is big into anime and video games.
