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...

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.

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. With a movie full of zombie sharks, a father/daughter relationship set in the stars, and Javier Bardem's scintillating accent what could go wrong? Apparently a lot. No, you aren't smelling low tide but, perhaps the plot of this movie? Can we plunder the treasures of this film franchise, or is it better left to the depths? Join our crew and listen?

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake - Episode 104 - AWNAM: Sinister Six II: Spookies (1985)
play

03/07/21 • 95 min

Our first Sinister Six adventure comes to end (along with all of our credibility) with a viewing of the 1985 cult classic Spookies. This horror "film" focuses on an evil magician stealing the souls of unsuspecting victims in order to resurrect his dead bride. In an unrelated movie, several unlikable partygoers wander into the magician's abandoned mansion to have some fun. An Ouija spells doom for these folks, as one of them becomes possessed and intent on murdering the others. To that end, she (or maybe the magician?) summons the titular "Spookies" to dispatch her friends. These rare Muppets have a thirst for blood and a flair for the dramatic. There's also zombies, I guess. Will the partygoers be able to escape this terrifying abode? No, but you should still listen along with us anyway.

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 says don your swords and sandals, for a cybernetic clash of gods on today’s episode of our Summer of Cyborg series. With Black Ghost, seemingly out of the picture, a new world threat emerges. A pantheon of super beings, claiming to be of divine descent descends on our beloved team. Just what is this glorified pantheon and what of this “justice” they claim to fight for? Will humanity survive or surrender in the wake of this strange world order? We can only hope that the 00 cyborgs can band together and answer our prayers.
