This week on Anime Pulse we got a Japanese mayor who moonlights as the Punisher, a RomCom that doesn't cause massive cases of cringe, and anime that inspired us to become more than we were. Up first Joseph has been putting up with cats, organizing shelves, and running a monster girl brothel. Meanwhile Andrew hasn't been doing much, so we skip right into the community stuff to talk about biscuit hammer and what anime has pushed us to pursue. And finally in the reviews Joseph attempts to use smoke signals to talk to a very short and cute classmate, and Andrew is confessed to by a girl after failing to properly respond to a confession by a guy.
