We would cross oceans of time … and apparently the limits of anime for our viewers. Tonight, we continue the theme of creatures of the night, with something a little bit different.

The D stands for dang good movie on this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake.

Sunday Oct 25, 2020
In a frightful departure from our usual anime fare, we will be taking a look at Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. The year is 2000 and The Blair Witch Project has taken the world by storm. A group of ill-fated movie fans venture into the woods near Burkittsville, Maryland for a night of drinking, smoking, and well-mannered frivolity. They wake up with something far worse than a hangover and attempt to solve the mystery of their gruesome rave. Though this sequel lacks the magic of its predecessor, it makes up for it with hard rock, goth lore, and lots and lots of forest beers. Video never lies, but sometimes this podcast does.

Remember to stock up on Triple-C Holy Water and call Mephisto to arrange a carpool. We hope you'll join us as the story of Blue Exorcist ignites. *gasp again*

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.

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...
