Our humble little podcast tends to find itself right at home in haunted houses, and today's episode is no exception to that. In the next batch of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba episodes, Tanjiro is joined by the always-anxious Zenitsu Agatsuma. The pair is ordered to investigate a mysterious mansion that seems to be at the heart of some recent disappearances. Encountering some despondent children, Tanjiro resolves to rescue their sibling from the monster that controls the mansion. The group is quickly separated and plagued by multiple demons, including the tsuzumi-wielding Kyogai. To complicate matters further, a boar-headed Demon Slayer is currently rampaging through the mansion as well. Tanjiro will have to overcome his injuries and focus if he wants to survive against Kyogai. And what about Zenitsu? Is he really sleeping on the job? Today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake should encourage you to walk to the beat of your own drum...unless that drum happens to swirl people around inside a giant house.

Sunday Mar 20, 2022
Our latest Sinister Six event continues and Paris will never be the same. Today, fate has handed us the 2009 military/action/science fiction thing G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. After a mission involving nanomite warheads goes awry, U.S. soldiers Duke and Ripcord join forces with G.I. Joe. The Joes are an international military organization who have just the right amount of laser technology to get the job done. James McCullen, the deceptive CEO of M.A.R.S., plans on using his company's own warheads as part of a larger scheme. McCullen is joined by a Doctor wearing a monocle and a Baroness wearing glasses. The Joes must fight to save the world from certain destruction while also confronting their own sepia-toned pasts. We hope you have the mettle (and 2 free hours) to join us for this explosive adventure. Because when all else fails, Anime Was (Not) A Mistake will probably fail, also.

HELP! Anime Was (Not) A Mistake is trapped in a small private podcast on this week's Sinister Six Episode! Lady in a Cage (1964) is the focus, and we hope that you can survive it better than a three foot drop. Olivia de Havilland throws down some electric slam poetry, while trapped in a claustrophobic space. Meanwhile, winos, faded southern thieves, and reefer madness ensue. Will Dan ever be able to draw the line between humanity and his animalistic nature ever again? Jonathan is just happy to be along for the slow, slightly elevated, ride.

We here at Anime Was (Not) A Mistake are certain of two things: we're decent at Elden Ring and terrible at kickball. That weakness could prove fatal as we dive back into Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Now officially receiving missions from the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjiro heads to Tokyo to investigate reported demon attacks. To his horror, he finds Muzan Kibutsuji there instead. Kibutsuji is known as the progenitor of all demons, and is directly responsible for murdering Tanjiro's family and turning Nezuko into a demon. Tanjiro also finds a glimmer of hope in the form of a demon doctor and her apprentice, who are researching ways to turn demons back into humans. Their meeting is soon interrupted by a pair of demons who have managed to synchronize their dangerous Demon Blood Arts. While listening to today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, do remember to focus on your breathing, stay limber, and keep your eye on the ball (and the arrows).
