The darkness surrounding us is something far worse than Daylight Savings Time. Today's episode focuses on Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge, an OVA series that adapts the cult classic Darkstalkers fighting game franchise. The vampiric (and aristocratic) Demetri Maximoff reawakens and casts a literal shadow over the mortal realm. This perpetual darkness allows other Darkstalkers to emerge across the globe, but only one of them can truly rule the night. Will it be the confident and alluring succubus Morrigan Aensland? The cute and theatrical catwoman Felicia? Or the undead rock star known as Lord Raptor? A pious vampire hunter named Donovan Baine joins the fray as well, determined to rid the world of evil. These characters and many more will put their ideals on the line and battle until the end. And that end might come sooner than they think when a certain alien overlord arrives on the scene. Remember to practice your combos and tune your electric guitar for today's bloodthirsty episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

These are Godless times, loyal listeners! In continuing our annual Spooktober celebration Anime Was (Not) A Mistake gets ready to go to the prom with Brian De Palma's 1976 seminal Stephen King adaptation Carrie. Dan's "dirty pillows" will undoubtedly be on full display, as Jonathan recalls just how those boys could dance...and likes it!!! However, in between buckets of pigs' blood and personal time in the punishment St. Sebastian closet, we have to ask ourselves is this a film of multiple genres? Tragedy? Comedy? Rom-Com? We will all be the judge. Anyways, we should all go hit the showers or else ... they're all gonna laugh at you!

The evil forces of M. Bison (this time played by the late, great Raul Julia) have returned to plague our podcast once again. Today's Sinister Six pick is none other than 1994's Street Fighter, the less-loved but cheesier counterpart to the Street Fighter II anime film. This version puts the spotlight on Colonel Guile as he fights to free hostages from M. Bison's villainous grip. Chun-Li Zang, joined by enters the fray in order to avenge her father. Ryu Hoshi and Ken Master also get tangled up in things while trying to con arms dealer Victor Sagat. Guile's friend and fellow solider Carlos Blanca is also being held by Bison, with Dr. Dhalsim performing genetic experiments on him. As the battle rages on, this band of fighters from the streets start to resemble the characters we know and love. The conflict reaches its peak at M. Bison's Shadowloo headquarters, which has no shortage of TV screens and branded merchandise. We strongly advise our listeners to invest in Bison Bucks (and avoid getting sued by the U.N.) for today's sinister installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Style. Power. Sinister Six. Anime Was (Not) A Mistake presents a peak into the maddening atelier of Jonathan and Dan. In a podcast so seductive, today we watch Ridley Scott's 2021 odyssey House of Gucci. Lady Gaga is a star in Jonathan's eyes, but her performance as Patrizia Reggiani, may be the final thread that leads to Dan's undoing. Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Selma Hyaek, and even Jared Leto (fresh from the Waluigi school of acting) are all here. The stars are ALL here... but does the style, and bonkers acting choices outweigh any substance? Put on your track suit, snort a line, and stir your tea. The evil Jonathan arc has finally begun. More fashion, more problems.
