It is time once more, to channel your Hamon into your inner being and ascend an oil strewn tower with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency. On Anime Was (Not) A Mistake this week Dana and Jonathan get into a brawl over squid ink pasta and regrettably have to train together under Lisa, Lisa, in the hopes of showing three ancient pillar men what for. Of course, with it being a very bizarre adventure, expect the unexpected. One second we could be dislocating our own spines to dodge fatal blows, and the next could have us dipping out of the way of boiling blood, leaking from someone's fingertips. Also is there something on my back....I really hope that it's not an entire brain latched onto me? Why aren't you answering? Do you have a pigeon in your throat or are you just happy to hear from us? Thanks for listening!

Our podcast jumps back into the Joestar mythos with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency. Joseph, the short-tempered grandson of Jonathan Joestar, arrives in New York City with his grandmother Erina. Joseph is attacked by the fallen Hamon master Straizo, now an immortal vampire, and becomes aware of a looming threat. An elderly Robert E.O. Speedwagon is being held captive by Nazis, who are experimenting on a mysterious Stone Pillar. JoJo travels to Mexico to rescue his old family friend, but he may be too late to stop the dangerous lifeform sleeping within that stone. We invite our listeners to crack open a cold Coco Cola and don a 100% beetle scarf for today's Hamon-infused episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

On Anime Was Not A Mistake, of course we believe in spirits, we record in a bloomin bar! We are taking a look at the love to hate, hate to love classic, Last Night in Soho (2021). This film is spooky, but not due to the ghosts, but due to the ham-fisted dialogue. Sit down with a pint and get ready to stir up the spooks of the past with us. Jonathan recalls a time when he Vespas flowed and when any young ingénue could easily find a start in the Big Smoke. Dan Ryan only remembers the vague cops and the taste of toad in the hole... Anyways. climb the mirrored staircase with us and listen to the discordant chords of the "Swinging Sixties"

Just in time for Halloween, our Sinister Six event rears its ugly head with 2017's The Bye Bye Man. After discovering a strange nightstand (yes, you're reading that correctly), a trio of college students are haunted by a ghoulish entity known as the Bye Bye Man. He's got coins, a dog, a coat, and an unexplained loved of trains. Elliot, who is sadly our main character, searches for answers in order stop this deadly curse. His quest leads him to the local library and nowhere else, really. All the while, Elliot and his friends descend into madness as the Bye Bye Man grows closer. Probably. The Bye Bye Man is pretty hands-off, all things considered. We invite you to light up a burrito and grab a slice of sad pizza for today's mayonnaise-filled episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake! Don't think it, don't say it! (unless you're recommending our podcast to your friends)

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake returns after a bit of a hiatus with the next part Ouran High School Host Club! On today's episode we have sibling rivalries, naughty boy types, the sun, the shore, and some things that haven't aged all too well... Anyways, the antics of this host club always bely a certain deeper meaning. I'm sure that Dan and Renge could ague about the different strata of shota for days. Jonathan is just going to choose to sip on a cool drink at the indoor resort. It's good to be back!

Our podcast must contend with yet another smug vampire as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood comes to a close. Having survived the inferno at Joestar Manor, Dio Brando is determined to conquer the world. As Dio creates an army of undead minions, Jonathan Joestar trains under Baron Zeppeli to master the Ripple. Identical to the sun's rays, the power of Ripple seems instrumental to fighting the Stone Mask's curse. Dio is always one step ahead of our heroes, however, and has mastered some dangerous techniques of his own. JoJo and his friends must battle fallen knights, zombified villagers, and even a few snakes to reach the top of Dio's dark tower. Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando will have their fated duel, but JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has only just begun. Try not to lose your on today's exciting episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake encourages you all to "Kiss, Kiss, Fall in Love!" … well, in the parameters of mutual consent, that is. On today's episode, a beginning of a new retrospective, Jonathan takes Dan on a wacky, romantic tour of Ouran High School Host Club! Here the young Haruhi takes the first steps on a journey full of discoveries. From shattering gender norms, breaking out of introverted shells, and dealing with a clubroom full of idiots, one never knows exactly what to expect in this series. Dan and Haruhi will surely be swept away in this club full of tropes and at times, deeply nuanced story telling, if they can see pass all the goofing. Will Dan finally convince Jonathan to try "Commoner's Coffee"? Will Jonathan receive every cent owed to him when Dan broke that priceless vase? And finally, is this series a fading flower, or a rose fully in bloom? Tune in and find out!

A new era of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake begins today, as does the multi-generational feud between the Joestar family and Dio Brando. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood sets the stage for this dramatic saga with a Victorian horror story. The young Jonathan Joestar finds his idyllic life overturned by the arrival of the wicked Dio Brando. What starts as a conflict between brothers takes a turn for the bizarre when an ancient Stone Mask comes into play. The mask allows Dio to shed his humanity (or what little he had left) in exchange for supernatural powers and immortality. JoJo must accept his destiny and wield a few special powers of his own in order to save the world from Dio. Along the way he'll have to contend with street toughs, switchblade hats, and names that are bound to cause copyright issues. So find your best drinking cape and join us for a Hamon-powered installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
