After witnessing Two Heroes in action and facing the End of the World, we resume our retrospective of Mobile Fighter G Gundam. The nefarious Devil Gundam is on the rise and Domon Kasshu seems ill-equipped to handle it. Master Asia affirms his dedication to this mechanical menace, forcing the Shuffle Alliance to sacrifice the remainder of their brief screen time. We hope you'll join us for more giant robot battles, fierce rivalries, and some weird line about a lighthouse. Gundam Fight All Set! Ready? Go!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake finally ascends to the dueling arena to confront the apocalypse. With the last three episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena, there are still so many questions left to be answered, but we don’t want to give everything away. What you can expect? Plenty of roses, betrayal, and a climax you won’t ever forget. If we don't break the world's shell, we will die without truly being born. Smash the world's shell, for the Revolution of the World … and podcasts, we suppose.

Episode 58: Cats

Yeah, our podcast may be called Anime Was (Not) a Mistake, but even we couldn't resist getting our paws on an invitation to the Jellicle Ball!?!? Think of this episode as Beaststars with a pinch more of musical theater thrown into the mix. Trust us, you will never look at cats the same way again. Here as always, we have the cute and cuddly Jonathan Kwiatkowski, the Irishman who can't resist a good fillet o' fish Dan Ryan, and joining us from the Heavyside Layer/Zencastr is none other than friend of the podcast,"Grizabella Grant Farrokh." With all three of us assembled, surely one of us will be the "Jellicle Choice?" Stay tuned for plenty of "meowcentric" Broadway/Film history, a few "intropurrspective" questions, and hearing the three of us dry heave through the hairballs that may be a song or two. A new memory is waking! TOUCH MEEEEEEE IT'S SO EASY TO LEAVE ME!!!!! But....social distance too, okay?
