This week on Anime Pulse we got the last mow of the year, edgy crossdressing elf boys, and locations for anime not in Japan. Up first Andrew has his Christmas shopping set and ready, and Joseph has put down Stardew to return to the legendary FPS New Vegas. Then in the industry news Japan is thinking of protecting anime, like they do their culture. And finally we have a rare gattai show as Andrew tours the end of the world with his digital monster while thinking about two mornings, and Joseph drops off the massive luggage a hero turned to mincemeat has at the Lincoln Park concert.
