Episode 81: Dragon Ball Z: Double Bill: Dead Zone/The World's Strongest
Saturday Sep 26, 2020
Saturday Sep 26, 2020
The leaves are changing, the pumpkin spice is flowing, and the Dragon Balls are being used for nefarious purposes yet again. We'll watch as Goku and his friends as they fight to save the Earth on a (slightly) cinematic scale. First, in Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone, the Z Fighters face Garlic Jr. and his band of spice-themed henchmen. Next, the criminally underrated Dr. Wheelo unveils his plan to steal Goku's body (even if Chi-Chi disapproves) in Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest. We hope you'll join us for this action-packed anime double feature...just don't expect too much sass from Shenron, here on Anime Was (No)t A Mistake.

Episode 79: Ghost in the Shell
Sunday Sep 13, 2020
Sunday Sep 13, 2020
On today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, our humble little podcast finally returns to its roots. Join us for a deep dive into a world of cybernetics and existentialism as we watch Mamoru Oshii's 1995 masterwork Ghost in the Shell. Major Motoko Kusanagi is a cyborg serving Public Security Section 9 in the not-to-distant future of 2029. The Major and her fellow agents are determined to apprehend the mysterious cyber-terrorist known as the Puppet Master. This mission puts them on a collision course with dangerous criminals, questions about the nature of humanity, and a giant spider robot. Though we've moved on from piracy, it might still be a good idea to make sure your network is secure...

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake continues the swashbuckling theme with Disney's Treasure Planet. On this episode, we discuss the awful week in general anime-based pop culture, while assuring the world that we are all still here. Next, we revisit the Disney vault in order to offer our opinions on one of the films that supposedly "tanked Disney animation." There are plenty of ships here, but perhaps not the ones you might be expecting. Listen and ride on your own Solar Sail! Also Happy Birthday Dan, hope this podcast was a good father figure for you!

Hoist Your Colors, and join the podcast revolution as AW(N)AM determines the true "Pirate Queen." We are off to Shipwreck Cove in order to elect our new leader, but will you release us from our earthly bonds? Only you can decide by listening, being halfway through this franchise we assure anime is coming, so board our crew. Is the Kraken OP?

Anime Was (Not) a Mistake is back for a continuation of The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Tonight join Dan, Grant, and Jonathan as they dive to the depths of Davey Jones' Locker with key and chest...no, not my chest, in hand, in their longest episode to date...till probably next episode.

Would you go to the ends of the Earth for this podcast and anime adjacent properties? We hope so.
