The train is finally leaving the station on today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. Originally released in 2020, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Mugen Train gave the world some much-needed anime goodness and set multiple box office records. The film focuses on Tanjiro and his friends joining Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira, to investigate the strange disappearances that have been happening on the Mugen Train. The Demon Slayers are given a one-way ticket into their dreams courtesy of the villainous Enmu. As the only remaining Lower Rank demon of the Twelve Kizuki, Enmu is determined to consume everyone on board in order to grow stronger. Our heroes must find a way to come back to reality and stop Enmu dead in his tracks. But even if they succeed, a much darker threat is looming just over the horizon...

On today's (mini) episode, we'll be joining Goku and his friends for another non-serialized movie adventure. In Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug, the titular villain arrives on Earth with the intention of "terra-freezing" it to his liking. Lord Slug becomes even more formidable after Shenron grants his wish for eternal youth. In order to defeat this foe, Goku must access a previously-unseen level of power (albeit one that's not quite super). Will this new form be enough to stop Lord Slug? Or will our heroes have to rely on Gohan's terrible whistling skills instead? Find out on today's compact and concise episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake's second annual Animasterpiece Theater concludes with one of the most smoky, seductive, and sexy films of all time.

Counting the moments through heartbeats, stalwart glances, cigarettes, and trips to the noodle stand. This movie will leave you wanting a passionate love affair of your own. If that is a secret close to your heart, why not do what the monks do? Climb a mountain, there is a temple there, whisper your secret into the stone, and cover it with mood.

Our Animasterpiece Theater event continues with Shusuke Kanedo's Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999). In his third and final Heisei-era adventure, Gamera returns to fight the flying menace known as Gyaos. Gamera has become a bit edgier than the public (and the audience) remembers, and his destructive battle in Shibuya turns Japan against him. Meanwhile, a young girl named Ayana discovers a strange creature that she names Iris. Ayana hates Gamera for accidentally killing her parents in a previous battle, and the enigmatic Iris seems to share her skepticism about the so-called "Guardian of the Universe." Empowered by Ayana's anger, Iris grows into a true monster and becomes determined to fuse with the girl. Gamera, despite having lost his connection to humanity, must intervene before Iris can irreparably damage the balance of nature. Can Gamera win with both the odds and world's negative vibes stacked against him? Your faith in giant turtles will be restored on today's mana-charged episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake continues Animasterpiece Theater with the second on the bill of Kaneto Shindo's folk horror films. In Kuroneko (1968) malevolent spirits seek revenge and lap up milk in this feline furor. After being wronged by greedy samurai, the age old trope of cats having nine lives comes front and center. What wrongs would you put up with to be with the ones you love, long since thought dead and gone? Be weary when stumbling through the bamboo grove at night, that meowing you may hear may lead you to your doom...

It's the most cinematic time of the year. Dan and Jonathan take a little break from Anime (As if they don't do that enough already) put on their spats, and top hats and prepare for some Asian cinema with Animasterpiece Theater. The nocturnal mammals in the recording studio have given us the go ahead for our second month long film festival and we have a got quite a range for you all this year. To begin, a haunted frolic in the tall grass with Kaneto Shindo's Onibaba (1964). In the days of Japanese civil war, a small family does whatever they need to survive. Lie, cheat, covet, and steal. Really, its just like recording an episode of this podcast. Dan is always avoiding falling into bloody pits, and Jonathan found a mask that surely won't adhere to his face...

Nothing good comes from lies, and today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake is no exception. This month's Sinister Six misadventure concludes with Wonder Woman 1984. Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, is living in the neon-coated 1980s and fighting crime outside of the public eye. Working at a museum by day, Diana meets an archeologist named Barbara Minerva (who wears glasses, eww). A stupid special wishing stone comes into their possession, but it's quickly stolen by the charming conman Maxwell Lord. Diane's secret wish is granted and her fallen boyfriend Steve Trevor returns to life. Barbara's wish is also grant, allowing her to ditch her glasses and become really mean. Diana and Steve resolve to stop Maxwell Lord from plunging the world into chaos with his inconsistent wish-granting powers. But stopping Lord may require a bigger sacrifice than Diana is willing to make. And then Barbara becomes a cat. It's complicated. So if you're ready, hop on board the nearest invisible jet and join us for the latest installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. (And this episode is over two hours long, so please remember to stay hydrated.)
