Be it Imitation Denki Bran, or apples raining down from the sky, Anime Was (Not) A Mistake has got you covered, because after all Night Is Short, Walk on Girl. In this tale we follow our lovable heroine as she treks through the Kyoto streets on a zany adventure. Along the way she downs some liquor, chugs on to find a lost children's book and meets a doting Senapi so often, it can't possibly be coincidence. Will this long night ever come to an end or is it more about having fun on the journey of life? Either way you have to keep up this a guerilla theater podcast now.

Episode 141: Mobile Fighter G Gundam: Part II.I
Sunday Dec 12, 2021
Sunday Dec 12, 2021
The circus has come to town and our humble little podcast will never be the same. As our retrospective of Mobile Fighter G Gundam continues, the Gundam Fight finals are getting more intense (and plot-heavy) by the second. We are introduced to Allenby Beardsley of Neo Sweden, who pilots the Sailor V-inspired Nobel Gundam. She's got big protagonist energy, so we should probably pay attention to this one. Then, we get a rather unexpected look at Chibodee's traumatic history with clowns. Finally, the Chairman Wong's villainous (and fairly obvious) scheme is set into motion. The Four Heavenly Kings will emerge and only one clown will remain standing on today's installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake produces a Sinister Six episode, guaranteed to make any listener go bananas with Congo (1995). Leave it to Dan to choose a movie by, for, and starring (at least in a unconvincing suit) primates. However this move has it all. Gorillas, Diamonds, Laser Guns, and Laura Linney? Yes you read that right. Amy podcast good? Join us for the adventure action flick that left Hollywood swinging and please make sure you put a dupe in the banana. You won't regret it.
