Sunday Oct 10, 2021
On behalf of the Galactic Federation, Anime Was (Not) A Mistake is investigating the 1984 film Locke the Superman. Colonel Ryu Yamaki recruits Locke, a legendary and seemingly immortal psychic, to combat the growing forces of the villainous Lady Kahn. Jessica Orin is a prodigal psychic who is central Lady Kahn's scheme, as her powers make her the ideal esper assassin. Jessica believes that Locke murdered her parents, putting the two psychics on a deadly collision course. Is Locke strong enough to stop Lady Kahn's tyrannical vision of the future? Will Jessica ever learn the truth about her parents? And why does that priest have a robotic hand? Some of these questions and more will be answered on today's 80s-infused episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake.

The hunt for the Rainbow Crystals at Anime Was (Not) A Mistake is on as we continue our season 1 watch of Sailor Moon. In order to find what we need we must confront a bevy of minor characters that may or may not show up later. A little psychic boy, a slacker shrine attendant, and a fat cat, how can we even manage? With the threat of the Dark Kingdom lingering over our podcast, we need to band together and track down the truth of the Moon Princess. Help us loyal listeners!

Episode 130: One Piece Film: Gold
Sunday Sep 26, 2021
Sunday Sep 26, 2021
On today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, we're hedging our bets and joining the Straw Hat Pirates for another cinematic adventure. In One Piece Film: Gold, Luffy and his friends travel to a massive casino ship known as the Gran Tesoro. After losing a deadly wager with Gild Tesoro, the owner of the ship and wielder of the Gold-Gold Fruit, the Straw Hats plan an elaborate heist in order to save Zoro and beat the house. Of course, things don't go exactly as planned. Instead, they might need a little extra luck in order to take down Tesoro and free his many captives. All that glitters may not be gold, but anime was (probably) not a mistake.

Episode 128 - AWNAM: Sinister Six VI: Money Plane (2020)
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
Wednesday Sep 22, 2021
Our latest Sinister Six event continues and the stakes have quite literally never been higher. Fate has forced us to take a look at Money Plane, a film made by people who don't understand money or planes. In this aerial heist movie, a skilled (?) thief named Jack is blackmailed into robbing the legendary Money Plane. Anything goes on the Money Plane when it comes to gambling, whether you're playing Smash singles or Settlers of Catan. The entire scheme is organized by Darius "The Rumble" Grouch III, as portrayed by Kelsey Grammer in a separate movie. But for Jack's team and even the Rumble himself, this flight plan might encounter a little turbulence. You might want to keep an air sickness bag ready for today's installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, where our Plan A is never quite as good as our Plan B.

Make a wish, loyal listeners. The Summer of Cyborg continues in part with chirping cicadas, blooming flowers, and pure existential dread. Anime Was (Not) A Mistake accelerates to rapidly approach the end of the series, with a few moments of horror and a final respite. We all wake up in a frozen time/space, 003 is determined to save Cairo from a deadly virus, 009 falls down the rabbit hole of memory, and a particular evil organization makes a new move in their sinister plan. Don’t lose hope though, even though the memories may fade, the feelings on this week’s episode will remain in your heart forever.
