What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been listening to the various shows for the better part of 18 years. From downloading episodes at my family PC to my iPod, to using the old Anime Pulse app (RIP), to playing the newest uploads directly from the Podcast app, not a second has been wasted. Keep the reviews and rants comin y’all!

Alora51 · Sep 2026

I have downloaded all episodes from dec 2013 onward, and I am starting with VG pulse (as the title suggests). I am very impressed with your content. You are informative, but you aren't afraid to nerdrage when the moment calls for it (Dead Rising 3 was a great review). I just got done with 176, and I appreciated your format from the moment I started. You guys (and girls, because where would we be without them). I appreciate the fact that you don't give any information on a topic without at least a half informative review (Net Neutrality was a great discussion and could be given to any uninformed person) sorry for the block of text, but your hard work deserves the praise, and the only way I can show it is by bragging about it. And get those ladies talking Millenum! and I love Kas's accent. it's hawt *salute*

Type cero · Apr 2014

Well the thing is there's so much more to anime pulse than just the anime podcast, there's also popcorn pulse, manga pulse, etc. so really in all truth your not stuck listening to the same person repeatedly. Not that it matters since each show on its own is fascinating, informative, and humorous. I would recommend it. Definitely worth your time. Something here for everybody!

AdamDiaz00 · Feb 2014

I have been an avid listener for a few years. I do miss Ichigo and TC but as with everything life goes on and people change priorities. I still enjoy the Red and Rio show though. Just missing my weekly fix now. Still my favorite Anime podcast.

ProxyOne21 · Sep 2015

Gave these guys the 3ep test, and decided to drop. The IRL new at the beginning of the show is similar to listening to paint dry, followed by someone reading all of the forum comments from the past week that are primarily the same few users commenting. These two segments take up over 1/2 of each episode leading the hosts to try and rush though reviews in order to stay near a palatable amount of time. The reviews themselves are quality, although rushed.

ee9918 · Mar 2018

If you like listening to kids talk about how awesome they are because of how much they can drink, this may be the podcast for you. If you're over 16 and stopped caring how much cheap beer you can binge on in your dorm room, you should look elsewhere. Little anime insight; little of anything interesting discussed. Not even amusing enough to be considered train wreck enjoyable. Plenty of better 'casts out there. Skip this one.
