  Episode 379: Dragon Ball GT - Shadow Dragon Saga (Part 2)

  Aug 16, 20261h 41m

  Previously on Dragon Ball GT, SS4 Goku and Nuova Shenron turned up the heat on their battle and decided to fight at full strength. This week, we’ll be checking in on Vegeta as the Saiyan Prince reflects on his life using a partial clip show. While Vegeta laments Goku leaving him in the dust, Bulma finds a way to help her husband achieve a similar power boost. Goku and Nuova’s battle is soon interrupted by an icy new villain who has no intention of fighting fair. Though Goku emerges victorious, he is left blinded and exhausted as the final Shadow Dragon emerges. His name is Syn Shenron, the One-Star Dragon, and his ability to absorb the power and abilities of the other Shadow Dragons is nothing to sneeze at. Even the arrival of SS4 Vegeta does not improve the Z-Fighter’s odds, as Syn Shenron transforms into the even stronger Omega Shenron. The Fusion Technique is the only option that remains, but let’s hope that Gogeta can take the fight seriously enough to win.

  Episode 378: Dragon Ball GT - Shadow Dragon Saga (Part 1)

  Aug 9, 20261h 44m

  An ominous black smoke is issuing from Drawing Board-kun on this episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. Though King Ghidorah has been defeated, we’re not done with evil dragons just yet. Last time on Dragon Ball GT, Goku and his friends, they had just finished gathering the Dragon Balls in order to undo the damage from Super 17’s attack. Instead of Shenron, however, a sinister-looking, chain-smoking dragon emerged: a byproduct of the negative energy that had been building within the Dragon Balls since Goku’s adventures first began. Black Smoke Shenron split himself into seven Shadow Dragons, each one embodying a different element and poised to destroy the world. Reassembling for another adventure, Goku, Trunks, Pan, and Giru first encountered Haze Shenron, the two-star dragon of pollution, terrorizing a small village. Though this Wario-esque dragon may not look like much, our heroes should know by now that appearances can be deceiving.

  Episode 377: Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991)

  Aug 2, 20262h 5m

  The future isn’t looking too bright in 1991’s Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. With the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria having failed to stop Godzilla, Japan faces certain doom if the kaiju makes landfall again. Suddenly, a group of visitors arrive from the future and offer a solution: they will travel back in time to kill Godzilla before atomic radiation made him the monster he is today. But can history actually be rewritten? Or was Godzilla always destined to return in 1984? And while the Futurians claim to be on a mission to save Japan from the King of the Monsters, is their true goal to put a very different tyrant on the throne? Remember to switch out your brain discs and keep an eye on those darned Dorats for today’s nemesis-reviving episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

  Episode 376: Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989)

  Jul 26, 20261h 56m

  A long-ago planted seed begins to grow as Anime Was (Not) A Mistake's Summer of Dan event continues to bloom. There are some rose beds that should not be disturbed and when Godzilla, human and plant cells are combined things are going to get heady in Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989). After the sudden death of his daughter, the grief addled Dr. Shiragami will not let the thorny limits of the natural world keep his daughter's soul from fading away. The Japanese government, yet again, assembles a military force to stop Godzilla and a newly sprouted psychic terror budding in the pastoral countryside. Even with all this going on, there are shady Saradian dealings, espers communicating with kaiju, and many roses beautiful, yet deadly. With all the excitement going on you might need the Super X to shoot a cooling ray at you to lower your body temperature so you may rest. Dan and Jonathan can only watch from the shoreside though. Trembling in anticipation, sensing floral psychic waves, and trying their best not to breathe in too much pollen...

  Episode 375: The Return of Godzilla (1984)

  Jul 19, 20262h 32m

  Where one summer ends another summer begins as two kings reawaken in full force to Anime Was (Not) A Mistake. Both have been sleeping beneath the bubbling magma as The Summer of Dan kicks off with Koji Hashimoto's The Return of Godzilla (1984). Our humble little podcast takes its first gargantuan steps into the Heisei Era with a reboot/sequel to the original Kaiju film that started it all. When a fishing vessel is attacked off the Japanese coast, a sole survivor, Hiroshi Okumura, claims that Godzilla is back to rage once more. This cold-blooded Kaiju spikes old Cold War tensions between Japan and the U.S.S.R. and the world must watch as this terror's wake of destruction starts anew. Intrepid reporter Jonathan must watch, in horror and awe, as Daniel pilots the Super X. Truly, this is humanity's last bastion of hope. It's going to be a long summer...
