Anime Was (Not) A Mistake keeps skating up that hill, with Sk8 the Infinity. Reki may be wrecked, but on this episode a skating tournament is announced and our characters get a little bit deeper. After recovering in a beach episode our main cast deals with toxic relationships, inferiority complexes, and a confusion between love and pain. All typical anime/podcast faire. However, we still have a few episodes to go and who knows where the slick treads of this podcast may lead? Will Reki and Langa cement their "friendship?" Only Dan and Jonathan can be sure, as they cling to their boards in uncertainty...

A controversial continuation of a beloved game, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has been summoned for today's podcast episode. Two years after Meteorfall destroyed Midgar, Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart have built a new life in the city of Edge. Humanity faces a new crisis in the form of geostigma, a dangerous disease seemingly carried by the Lifestream itself. Burdened by this illness and his own grief, Cloud has become distant from his friends. A trio of silver-haired youths arrive at Edge in search of their lost "mother." Our heroes quickly deduce that this so-called Reunion will lead to the resurrection of the villainous Sephiroth. AVALANCHE must return to battle in order to stop this apocalyptical plot, while Cloud will have to find the resolve to face his nemesis once again. Things are...much more complicated than this simple blurb can convey. We can't promise that everything will make sense on today's installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, but everything will definitely look (or sound) cool!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake encourages our listeners to pick up a skateboard and join us in watching Sk8 the Infinity on our latest episode. Is this anime everything Dan has ever wanted before? Reki and Langa are two up and coming skaters in Okinawa, destined to prove their talents through their skating skills. In a series packed with passion, friendship and skill, what lessons stemmed to be learned? Is your skating passion calligraphy? Italian Cooking? Dressing as a Cat? Or something else? You will have to tune in to see... Are we hip with the kids?

Today's Sinister Six offering is certain to melt your heart...if it doesn't put you to sleep first. In The Incredible Melting Man, an astronaut (named Steve, just Steve) returns to Earth as the lone survivor of a disastrous mission to Saturn. But Steve is feeling a bit under the weather. Being exposed to solar radiation filtered through the rings of Saturn (we think) has turned him into a melting man! Steve embarks on slow-paced rampage, consuming as many people as possible in order to survive extraterrestrial ailment. Opposing him is the very unpleasant Dr. Ted Nelson, the very hungry General Perry, and a variety of very unlikeable townspeople. Before listening to today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, we advise our listeners to have two buckets ready. One bucket is for goo, the other is for lemons (it won't make sense in context).

Deep on the internet, there's a podcast...somewhere. One, where two dreamers watch anime...and stuff. Out there in the dark, there's a Baz Lhurmann movie that will embody both Dan and Jonathan and truly test their hunka, hunka burning friendship. Uh-huh, that's right tonight on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake Sinister Six Special Dan and Jonathan scarf down the kaleidoscope fired peanut butter and banana sandwich that is Elvis (2022). Love it or hate it, you too are sure to feel something about it. All snow jobs aside, this one has been a long time comin and Colonel Jonathan Parker get a lot of satisfaction torturing that old hound dog, Dan. But it wasn't me who killed him! It was your Love... and probably his diet.

NEWS ON THE MARCH! On this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake Jonathan and Dan examine one of the must influential films of all time in Orson Welles's opus Citizen Kane (1941). From humble beginnings, to operatic heights this is a story of wealth, intrigue, and mystery. As the world searches for the meaning behind "rosebud" viewers are introduced to some ground breaking filming techniques and a story that has withstood the test of time. Our usually screwball hosts actually discuss a film with deep and insightful intent? What kinda podcast is this? Are either of them going to run for office in the future? And does anyone want some "hot water?"
