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. Sorry it took this long, but if you are still sore about it just remember to rate, review, and subscribe. Remember to be the way of Master Pai-Mei's Five Finger Exploding Heart Technique...sudden and deadly!

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.

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. Remember to sharpen your cutlery, roll some dumplings, and avoid unfamiliar mushrooms for today’s golden-fried episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

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! Only by challenging your fate and putting on your pointe shoes can you hope to reach this story's end!

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. Please remember to check under your pillow for nightmare clams and enjoy a giant wheel of cheese for today’s well-mellowed episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

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.? We ask on this podcast, to enjoy as our "dear old friends" hoping that you will hear us sing once more. Beneath a moonless sky....

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. Remember to wear your greasiest shirt, drink a few egg creams, and eat plenty of spaghetti for today’s uncomfortably-soggy episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
