This week on Anime Pulse we got gender swapping isekai dads, smart phone limitations, and apartment hunting. Up first Joseph gives the sad news about his offer on a house, and Andrew asks the community who their top female villains in anime are. Then in the industry news there is none, but don't worry, we got another edition of Would or Wouldn't. Finally in the last review before Andrew heads to Japan for two weeks, the guys team up to tackle Joseph's first foray into the villainess genre but with an otaku father twist to the mix.
