The Hit List nears completion after 5 long years of waiting on this episode of AniMaysterpiece.  AMNAM presents Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004) where secrets are revealed, all during stylish heated bouts of Kung-Fu. With the bloody Bride revving up her continued hunt for revenge no one is safe. A few members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad linger full of regrets and glory long since gone. However, that doesn't mean it will be a simple drive to the finish line. We will have to avoid being buried alive, black mambas hiding in suitcases, and even a Superman origin story or two.

Our latest Animaysterpiece event begins with Katsuhiro Otomo's legendary anime film Akira. In 1988, a mysterious explosion destroyed Tokyo and ushered in World War III. The year is now 2019, and Neo-Tokyo exists in a state of fear, corruption, and division. A member of the Capsule bike gang, Tetsuo, is kidnapped by the military after colliding with a strange, psychic child. His best friend and gang leader, Kaneda, joins an underground resistant movement in hopes of rescuing him. Meanwhile, Tetsuo starts developing psychic powers of his own. Corrupted by his new abilities, Tetsuo rampages across the city in order to free and confront the fabled esper Akira. Kaneda is determined to get through to his friend, but will a (really cool) motorcycle and a laser gun be enough to stop the coming apocalypse? This one is so serious we're not even gonna give you a comical list of things to do for today's exciting episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

A finale of an age-old story on tonight's episode of Anime Was Not A Mistake. As it seems now our tale's many characters are at their breaking points. A murder of crow circle them, the play is yet unwritten, and the dance unfinished. Through this and all will the prince obtain his heart, the writer pen a satisfying conclusion, the child of crows feel love, and a duck be born again in the dance? The stage is set and the curtain rises one final time. All we can pray for is for the success of Princess Tutu.  Rate, Review, Subscribe, and Listen to Us on Podbean/iTunes/Stitcher/Spotify Follow us on Instagram:@animewasnotamistakepodcast Or on Facebook:@animewasnotamistakepod Music Provided: “Sis Puella Magica!” – Yuki Kajiura – Aniplex – Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Puella Magi Madoka Magica Music Collection - 2011 “Zoltraak” – Evan Call feat Alina Lesnik – Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - 2023 “Dungeon Meshi Main Theme” – Yasunori Mitsuda feat.

The final course is served in our Delicious in Dungeon x Toriko combo series. After leaving the Golden Country, Laios and his friends are attacked by a griffin. This perilous encounter gives us some insight into Senshi's past and motivations. The party is slowed down again when changeling mushrooms mix things up, forcing them to think quickly and adapt. As the party descends deeper, outside forces join the fray and the dungeon's ecology becomes ever-more unstable. (But don't worry, there's still time for a quick bite.) Back in Toriko, the titular Gourmet Hunter and Coco face-off against a deadly Devil Python. Both are forced to push themselves to the limit to overcome this sinister serpent and find the coveted Puffer Whale. However, as their flavorful adventure continues, an even stronger foe is skulking around in the depths.

A dance of ravens and crows begins anew on this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake as the curtains rise for a second act. We continue the performance that is Princess Tutu as all of our characters have seemingly met their storybook ends. However, all is not as it seems, in this anime. A duck longs to be a swan, a crow yearns to be a lover. A knight a storyteller and a prince to be free. As our pieces are posed to dance on pointe in the finale, what will happen? And will we have to make some shocking changes to the script. I've seen some intrigue in the courtyard and as your "best" friend I advise you have a public fight in front of the whole school!

In what's already being hailed as our best episode yet (by us), we dive into another combo platter of Delicious in Dungeon and Toriko. First, Laios and his friends arrive at the dungeon's Sixth Level. After dealing with some uncanny shapeshifters, the party gains a new member in the form of the beastman ninja Izutsumi. A supernatural detour then brings the party to the legendary Golden Country, a paradise within the dungeon that remains frozen in time. There, a surprising revelation leads Laios to question his destiny. Back on the surface, Kabru discusses similarly existential matters with the Canaries, a group of elven dungeon specialists known for leaving destruction in their wake. Next, in Toriko, our heroes have to get past a troop of dangerous Troll Kongs to reach the extra-flavorful fruit they guard. Finally, Toriko and Komatsu team up with another member of the Four Heavenly Kings to find the rare Puffer Whale.

Christine, Christine? Tonight, on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake presents Sinister Six's first true blue direct sequel with The Phantom of the Opera's musical continuation Love Never Dies (2011). We take a trip to Coney Island in the hopes of making 10 long years of waiting make any sort of sense in the musical theater canon. Christine Daae arrives to sing an aria or two with her fractured family, only to find out that her power as one of theater's greatest heroines has no effect in this land of sideshows and jaded chorus girls. Bathing Beauties, please tune in and offer us your commentary on this controversial cabaret. With a son that is only 10 YEARS OLD what kind of intrigue or subterfuge could take place.?

The latest installment of Sinister Six digs way too deep into the “natural horror” genre with 1976's Squirm. When a freak electrical storm strikes the town of Fly Creek, angry worms emerge from the ground and start attacking people. As the worms unleash their wrath one tree at a time, city boy Mick arrives in town to visit his long-distance girlfriend Geri. Fly Creek's very sweaty Sheriff Jim immediately suspects Mick when odd, worm-adjacent occurrences begin popping up. Mick also has to contend with Geri's mother Naomi (who's basically in a different movie) and her odd neighbor Rick. After they discover the first of the worms' many victims, Mick and Geri race to solve the mystery of whatever's nibbling away at Fly Creek. They probably only have until nightfall, when worms are at their most powerful. Probably. We're not really sure what the moral of this story is, but we promise that it involves more worms than you're expecting.

Good News! In a most scandalosious turn of events, that still sticks to the vague principals of magical girls and anime, our humble little podcast is heading down the yellow brick road with Wicked: Part One (2024). Although our intrepid hosts are well versed in the magic of weebdom, we needed another more attuned to the art of showtunes able to decipher The Grimmerie. That's right fellow Ozians, Gabe Rivera is here, descending in a steampunk bubble to set the record straight. While this is happening Dan is channeling his emotions in the hopes that one day he can fly, all of course under Jonathan's totally not menacing and manipilutidiness madness... Topics discussed within are which type of Elphaba and Galinda watch of our cohosts are. A deep dive into the lore of Gregory Maguire's novels. And the introduction of the ethereal being that is Dulcibear. Something has changed within us and Anime Was (Not) A Mistake will never be the same.

The dice have stopped rolling, but Anime Was (Not) A Mistake has more dungeons and delicacies to explore. Immediately back by popular demand, Delicious in Dungeon resumes with Laios and his friends searching for an exit. A tense meeting with the warrior Shuro forces the party to reevaluate their ultimate goal. Falin has been transformed into a terrifying monster by the Mad Mage, and Laios cannot risk the Island Lord going after her. Defeating the Mad Mage himself may be the only option that remains, but are our heroes really the best party for the job? Continuing the trend of pairing Delicious in Dungeon with a special side dish, we'll briefly step into the colorful (and flavorful) world of Toriko. While the Gourmet Hunter Toriko is beefy enough on his own…we advise leaving room for a THIRD course of shonen action.

A duck, a raven, a prince a knight. Some stories come to an end and other questions arise on this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. Today on the podcast, we see as Duck, Rue, Mytho, and Fakir deal with their assigned roles in a cosmic story dictated before them. Should a sword of swans be used to shatter a prince's heat? Could a knight forgo the innocence of others in order to save his charged sovereign? Will a princess of crows discover who she truly is? And last, but certainly not least, can a duck prove her love without the use of words?

Once upon a time...there was an anime podcast (Anime Was Not A Mistake) with two cohosts. One of them. A shonen fan through and through, the other, a man of taste not afraid to embrace the beauty of all that was maho shojo. "I know!" said the man with taste. "I'll introduce my rival to the classic magical girl anime Princess Tutu. Once I do that, he's bound to see the error of his ways." In a series devoted to both ballet and fairytales we are introduced to our heroine Duck, who is literally a duck, turned girl, turned into Princess Tutu. When given the quest to restore a storybook prince's heart shards lessons on love, emotion, and the ever-changing hands of fate and destiny are presented through dance and classical music. Suddenly as the man with taste cackled gleefully over his plan the shonen fan entered. "Jonathan, what are you doing in there? Some of us have got to use the bathroom!" "Nothing! Nothing at all!" screamed the man with taste, as the toilet flushed...

Our Weebs & Wyrms arc comes to close with the grand finale of Record of Lodoss War. Heroes and villains converge upon Fire Dragon Mountain, where the legendary dragon Shooting Star guards the Scepter of Domination. The dark wizard Wagnard intends to use the scepter to awaken and control Kardis, the primordial goddess of chaos and destruction. As evil ascends, Parn and his allies journey to the island of Marmo. Lord Ashram, betrayed by Wagnard but still possessing the Demon Sword, also moves to foil the wizard's plan. The final battle for Lodoss begins as the ritual to resurrect Kardis is set into motion.

Fated battles await in today's exciting installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake: Weebs & Wyrms! First, Dungeon Meshi reaches its halfway point as the party finally faces the infamous Red Dragon. The battle pushes Laios and his friends to their limits, and a grim discovery afterward proves hard to swallow. Marcille may have a solution in the form of ancient dark magic, but the dungeon (and its master) won't make things easy. In Record of Lodoss War, King Fahn and Emperor Beld finally face one another on the battlefield. However, their duel ends with both rulers dead after Karla the Grey Witch intervenes to sow chaos. Certain that Lodoss will never know peace with Karla controlling things, Parn and his party go to confront the witch directly. Sacrifices will be made, but the stability of Lodoss is far from guaranteed. Dragons rise and dragons fall on today's flame-grilled episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Spectacular! Spectacular! A Sinister Selection? It's in the vernacular! Anime Was (Not) A Mistake pulls back the red curtain and tunes the orchestra to present a 40th sinister film celebration!  With plenty of returning actors and a director to this humble podcast we explore the themes of freedom, beauty, truth, and love with Baz Luhrmann's seminal Moulin Rouge! (2001). In this Parisian, jukebox musical, toy will encounter decadence, tropes, and many compilations that would make the cast of Glee blush.  When the bright eyed Christian (Ewan McGregor) wanders into the bordello of sin that is the Moulin Rouge and falls in love with the star act, The Sparkling Diamond, Satine (Nicole Kidman) a passionate, maddening, romance begins. You will certainly feel as if you are on an absinthe trip...singing moon included. But in the end should someone die? Perhaps it will be one of your co-hosts? Why are we watching this?

A new Sinister Selection crash-lands on the scene and vows to dispense cosmic justice…just very slowly and on a budget. In 1987's Alien Private Eye, Earth is threatened by an odd combination of narcotics and nuclear weapons. Our only hope is Lemro, a super-cool alien who lives among us as a private detective. Aided by a mysterious woman and a pair of rival space cops, Lemro searches for the two halves of a powerful alien artifact. One half is currently in the possession of the villainous Kilgore, who's using it manufacturer a potent (and very confusing) drug called “soma.” We're not sure how Lemro intends to solve this case, but it'll definitely involve dancing, fighting, and a Nintendo Power Glove.

All voyages must come to an end, and tonight on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake we take the next steps into the future with the Season 1 of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Frieren, Fern, and the rest of the intrepid mages continue on their path towards first class magedom. What lies before them is a labyrinth filled to the brim with unfeeling clones and even worse than that a one-on-one interview with Serie herself. Frieren will need to rely on all her spell craft, knowledge and maybe even the friends she has made along the way to achieve what she sets out to do.

Today's Good Movie Podcast marks our third visit to Gotham City, this time for 1993's Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Made between the first and second seasons of Batman: The Animated Series, the movie sees Bruce Wayne's old flame Andrea Beaumont suddenly returning after 10 years. At the same time, a mysterious vigilante known as “The Phantasm” starts eliminating Gotham City's biggest mobsters. As the Phantasm strikes from the shadows, Batman's heroic public image takes a hit. Bruce himself even wonders if he should abandon the cowl and pursue a normal, happy life with Andrea. It soon becomes apparent that Bruce is not the only one to have been transformed by grief. Batman must face his own dark reflection in an explosive final battle with the Phantasm…and a certain other villain with a penchant for jokes.

Our journey through realms inspired by tabletop RPGs continues with another Delicious in Dungeon and Record of Lodoss War combo episode. In the Mad Mage's Dungeon, Laios and his party must traverse the watery Fourth Level while learning a few (harsh) lessons from the dungeon's ecosystem. Then, a surprise encounter with an Undine leaves Marcille drained of her mana. With the help of an old teammate, the party will have to craft an energizing brew if they want their mage to continue. On the island of Lodoss, the arrival of King Kashue in Valis gives Parn the inspiration he needs to become a great knight. While the party gets to enjoy a few fleeting moments of peace, Karla the Grey Witch continues to scheme in the shadows. Emperor Beld begins his destructive advance into Valis, with King Fahn standing ready to face his old nemesis in battle.

Our journey continues once more with Frieren: Beyond Journey's End on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. On this casual batch of four episodes we may get a new priestly party member that's on a voyage of his own for his "Gorilla Warrior." With some liturgical magic, perhaps the party will take down a Refelga infused plant monster, participate in a ball, and help out a stubborn old woman in polishing her statues. It may seem like a subtle bunch of morals lie in store. Ten Years aren't as long as they seem. You can try to replace family. Those with an itchy butt wake up with smelly hands... this and much, much more on tonight's episode.   Rate, Review, Subscribe, and Listen to Us on Podbean/iTunes/Stitcher/Spotify Follow us on Instagram:@animewasnotamistakepodcast Or on Facebook:@animewasnotamistakepod Music Provided: “Sis Puella Magica!” – Yuki Kajiura – Aniplex – Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Puella Magi Madoka Magica Music Collection - 2011 “Zoltraak” – Evan Call feat Alina Lesnik – Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - 2023 “Dungeon Meshi Main Theme” – Yasunori Mitsuda feat.

Our Halloween Spooktacular continues with 2001's Thir13en Ghosts. While still mourning the untimely death of his wife, Arthur Kriticos is informed that his estranged uncle Cyrus has passed away as well. Arthur takes his family to see the mansion that Cyrus left for them, but his late uncle's house is far from ordinary. An avid ghost hunter until his supposed death, Cyrus had turned his home into a glass labyrinth designed specifically for imprisoning spirits. With Arthur and his family trapped inside, the mansion's infernal machinery activates. 12 ghosts are set loose within the house, free to rampage until Cyrus' strange ritual is complete. The blueprints for the machine also mention a thirteenth ghost, one that can either bring the house down entirely…or give Cyrus exactly what he wants.

That can only mean that our fated Halloween Spooktacular has officially begun! We have six horror movie favorites coming your way, starting with John Carpenter's mind-bending In the Mouth of Madness.

Trent's search leads him to the town of Hobb's End, which has seemingly popped up out of nowhere to match the setting of Cane's books. All sorts of supernatural horrors spread out from the church wherein Sutter Cane does his writing. Is there a logical explanation for all of this? Or is reality truly becoming stranger than fiction?

Feel that rumbling and rolling, as Sinister Six continues with a Jurassic journey. When all you have is a quickly written script, a dream and an animatronic T- Rex you have to make a movie. Tammy and the T-Rex (1994) gives us a romance for the ages, starring Denise Richards and Paul Walker in their film debuts. With crazy bullies, a mad scientist, big jungle cats, and plenty of gore, will this one finally provide the extinction of Dan Ryan? All Jonathan can do is promise this film will be Dino-myte!!!

The latest installment of Sinister Six warps down to Earth as we suffer through 1992's Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe. Jesse “The Body” Ventura plays the titular intergalactic cop, who chases the evil Secundus across the stars to New York or Canada or Minnesota. Secundus has returned to our world to find his genetically-engineered son Tommy, who he hopes will enable him to solve the Anti-Life Equation (not the one from the Snyder Cut) and gain absolute power. Abraxas and Sonia, Tommy's mother, quickly form a connection as they fight to foil Secundus' plan (which involves repeatedly pushing people aside and stealing their cars). Like any good 90's B-movie, it all builds to an epic confrontation in an abandoned factory. Abraxas and Secundus will do battle once more to decide the fate of the universe or Canada or New York or Minnesota, we don't know.

Good Movie Podcast? reconvenes to the realms of archelogy and adventure with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984). Dr. Indiana Jones returns with some new friends, the spunky kid Short Round and the anything but outdoorsy, lounge singer "Willie" Scott.

This Spielberg summer block buster sequel is quite important to both Dan and Jonathan but will it feel more like a wildly fun minecart ride or just some "snake surprise."
