Anime Was (Not) A Mistake

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake’s Summer of Cyborg continues in globe hopping pursuit of Black Ghost. Be it, Christmas in Paris, a foggy London theater, or in the midst of a civil war in the Republic of Muamba, today we have some cinematic movements for you all! 003 dances through the past, 007 is cast in a familiar role, and 008 tries to pick up the pieces of a broken homeland. These moments will cause you to question the line between machine and humanity, while delving deep into the backstories of three of our heroes.  You know Dan, I once acted in a production of The Mists of London… alas, I’m getting ahead of myself, that is a story for a different time.

Our "Summer of Cyborg" event continues as the 00 Cyborgs encounter old friends and confront new enemies (sometimes, they are one in the same...) First, we delve into 004's backstory and see how it colors his perspective on the ongoing Black Ghost conflict. Next, 009 returns to his old neighborhood while searching for a kidnapped Dr. Kozumi. Things have changed in Tokyo, however, and the 00 Cyborg are forced to face their toughest opponent yet. Finally, something happens involving a giant octopus. We hope you'll join us as our nostalgic look at Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier moves forward.

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake is starting a cybernetic summer celebration with cohosts Dan and Jonathan’s retrospective on a beloved 2002 anime. Cyborg 009: The Cyborg Soldier. In this Summer of Cyborg strap in as we devote the next few months to assembling and analyzing a series that made us into the weebs we are today. Nine mechanically engineered, superpowered cyborgs, a shadowy syndication by the name of Black Ghost and enough Shonen action you would think you were a kid, pressed to the T.V. screen watching Toonami again! Join us in the fight for justice, I mean we have to put these red uniforms to good use…

Tonight to conclude Anime Was (Not) A Mistake's first Animasterpiece Theater marathon we bring comedy, nostalgia, and good old fashioned kung fu. That's right, it's a real ballroom blitz in Stephen Chow's seminal Kung Fu Hustle (2004.) Keep your lollipops close at hand and get ready to master your most latent talents. Tonight Dan and Jonathan challenge the Axe Gang, all while avoiding the Landlady's stony glare, and destructive pipes. We may know kung fu, but we're still podcast hosts.

Anime Was (Not) a Mistake continues Animasterpiece Theater with Jonathan’s final sumptuous pick. In Park Chan-wook’s 2016 romance/thriller/period drama The Handmaiden everything is not as it seems. A cunning thief waits on a Korean socialite, held cruelly under the thumb of her sadistic uncle…almost as if a pressed leaf, cemented within the pages of a heavy tome. However, one thing this intrepid robber didn’t expect was to have her own heart stolen. In a film that has more twists, turns, and sensuality than the greatest romantic novels, join us as we indulge in the melodic ringing of passionate bells.

Usually, we here at Anime Was (Not) a Mistake pride ourselves on being. “Fast, cheap, but average.” However, that is not the case today! Jonathan and Dan welcome you all to our first Asian film festival, entitled Animasterpiece Theater. For the next few weeks, we are donning our best berets and looking at some Classique Asian cinema spanning decades and our personal tastes, from our box seats. Won’t you join us? Tonight, we begin our little festival with Shin'ichirô Ueda’s cinematic, cult classic, comedy-horror One Cut of the Dead (2017). This will be sure to thrill, chill, and maybe even KILL you…from laughter. Get your prop bloody arms ready, take your union provided bathroom break, and most importantly, whatever happens, absolutely “Do not stop rolling!”

This week on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, the Sinister Six has driven us into the farthest reaches of space (but at least it's filled with pretty colors). Famed smugglers Stella Star and Akton stumble upon a crisis that threatens to destroy the entire galaxy. The Emperor's son has gone missing while searching for the evil Count's superweapon. It's up to Stella, Akton, and the robotic sheriff Elle to find the prince and foil the Count's somewhat ineffectual plan. We hope you'll join us for an action-packed adventure filled with lasers, metal tubes, and Texas accents in 1978's Starcrash.

AWNAM returns with another Sinister Six pick. Join Jonathan and Dan as they head off to Nilbog for some country living and vegetarian snacks in Troll 2 (1990). This film is anything but predictable, we advise you to bring along your Double Decker Bologna Sandwiches, to avoid a hellish death by popcorn. There are goblins...I mean trolls around here and they have a hankering for human/plant hybrid flesh. The only way we can all survive is to refuse to eat, call upon Grandpa Seth, and whatever you do don't eat anything! No that's not an invitation to piss on hospitality...

The classic anime Saint Seiya makes its triumphant return to our humble little podcast. The Galaxian Wars tournament continues as the Bronze Saints fight to claim the Gold Sagittarius Cloth. The latest bout is cut short when the mysterious Phoenix Saint arrives on the scene. This masked fighter is quickly revealed to be Shun's older brother Ikki, who is presumed to have died while training on the aptly-named Death Queen Island. Phoenix Ikki, now consumed by hatred and anger, proves to be more than capable of defeating the other Bronze Saints. Joined by his palette-swapped brethren, Ikki steals the Sagittarius Gold Cloth and escapes into the city. Will Seiya and his friends be able to retrieve the powerful relic before Ikki gets the chance to use it? Luckily, you won't have to wait another sixty episodes to find out. We hope you'll us for another Cosmo-empowered installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake.
