This week on Anime Pulse we got Christmas Gift unboxings, the charity for a real life counterpart to a virtual horse, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Up first IRL news sees Andrew gets in some last minute shopping while he is in Scotland, and Joseph is totally cheating his way through a separate save in New Vegas. Then in the industry news some fans raise money to give a racing horse a place to retire, bet they'll be on Santa's good list. Right before reviews Joseph and Andrew perform the annual Anime Pulse gift exchange, what will they get? Finally reviews! Joseph ignores all the advances a bunch of hot demi-humans make towards him, because dammit he's a doctor not a bachelor! And Andrew heads to a small room to share it with a criminal as they sing their hearts out.
