    Ivy Insights

    The Ze Shows - Anime Pulse podcast is an incredible podcast that has been around for a long time and has a dedicated following. I have been listening to this podcast since high school, and now as a college student, I am still an avid listener. The podcast has evolved over the years, branching out into various shows such as Manga Pulse, Fan Pulse, Popcorn Pulse, and Script 2 Script. It's impressive how the hosts have managed to create so many different shows while maintaining their informative and entertaining content.

    One of the best aspects of The Ze Shows - Anime Pulse podcast is the variety of content it offers. Whether you're interested in anime, manga, video games, or just general fandom discussions, there is something here for everyone. The hosts are knowledgeable and passionate about their respective topics and provide insightful reviews and discussions on each episode. They also aren't afraid to express their opinions and even nerd out when it comes to certain topics.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the humor. While not everyone may enjoy the humor style of every host, there is definitely something for everyone. The hosts have developed their own unique personalities and bring their sense of humor to each show. This adds an element of fun and entertainment to the already informative content.

    However, there are some aspects of The Ze Shows - Anime Pulse podcast that could be improved upon. One recurring criticism is regarding one of the hosts, RedUnit10's pronunciation of Japanese words. Many listeners feel that he doesn't even make an attempt to learn proper pronunciation and often mispronounces simple words or phrases. This can be frustrating for listeners who are more familiar with Japanese language and culture.

    Additionally, some reviewers feel that RedUnit10's reviews can be too revealing of the shows being discussed. They prefer to skip his segments unless they know they won't watch a particular show as they feel his reviews give away too much information.

    In conclusion, The Ze Shows - Anime Pulse podcast is a fantastic podcast with a wide range of content that caters to anime, manga, and video game enthusiasts. While there are some areas that could be improved upon, such as pronunciation and review style, overall it is an exceptional podcast worth listening to. The hosts are knowledgeable and passionate, and their humor adds an extra layer of entertainment to the informative discussions. Give it a listen and see for yourself!
