Sunday Aug 30, 2020
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!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake brings the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with the fifth installment Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

Anime Was (Not) a Mistake is back once again to finally fulfill the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise trilogy with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. We mourn a friend's loss of a Wii by reconsidering our pieces of eight. In this episode, we discuss why this film "feels a bit too long" as we search for a true Pirate King. 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.

That's right, we are watching The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Tonight you can expect sultry pipe organ solos, Krayken correct pronunciations, and even a jar of dirt. Would you go to the ends of the Earth for this podcast and anime adjacent properties? We hope so.

Episode 72: Kill Bill: Volume 1

Sunday Jul 26, 2020
Anime Was (Not) A Mistake takes a quick pit stop from pirating, as we trade in our cutlasses for Hitori Hanzo steel. With Kill Bill: Volume 1 we seek out red-tinted vengeance against The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad and trek the globe, from California to Okinawa, one way. If anime was given a genuine live-action treatment then this movie really makes us want to wiggle our big toes. If you have anything else to say now if the f&*kin time! Bang, Bang, this podcast shot us down.

Episode 70: Adolescence of Utena

Sunday Jul 12, 2020
Anime Was (Not) A Mistake embarks on one last trip to the dueling arena. In our longest episode to date, some time has passed and we have all grown older. The characters that we have come to love and understand seem very different. Utena's memory is hazy, Anthy has a new look, and I won't even touch on the repressed memories bubbling to the surface. Everything changes and isn’t that the price of growing up? You’ll have to find out as we watch Adolescence of Utena. Make sure your seat belts are buckled and please mind the speed limit.

Sunday Jul 05, 2020
In Anime Was (Not) A Mistake’s first (NSFW) episode we are off to Daten City to analyze the antics of two anarchy angels in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. These gorgeous gals may be sent from Heaven, but they love to raise some Hell. There is enough boppin tunes, jaw dropping lewdness, and raunchy language, that you may need to wash your mouth out with soap and a clean pair of underwear after listening. Let’s Fly Away Now, Fly Away Now, Fly Away!
