This week on Anime Pulse we got Mangakas going to jail, Christmas gifts, and Rock'em Sock'em Megalo 2. Up first the IRL news sees the 3rd Annual Anime Pulse Gift Exchange occur, with Joseph and Andrew having a grand ol' time discovering what the other bought for them. Then in the industry news, just two articles to tide us over until the New Year with the probable end of Galko-chan and the possible return of Rurouni Kenshin. Finally it's our last review show of the year as Joseph is summoned to another world to do their taxes, and Andrew equips his robots arms to play Punch Out: Nomad edition.
