Anime Was (Not) A Mistake

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake anticipates the splendor and the magic of the fast-approaching Millenium Comet. That's right, its time to make a wish as we watch Pokémon: Jirachi, Wish Maker while continuing our Pokémon movie rewatch journey. When the mysterious Jiriachi awakens from a 1,000 year slumber it is up to Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock, and Max to prove that their friendship can stand the test of time. And what of the dazzling stage magic, provided by the mysterious Butler and the lovely Diane? I sure hope there isn't some kind of eldritch Team Magma tie in to awaken a Groudon effigy? Anyway, while Jonathan is making a wish every night of the week, Dan is more concerned with the Pokémon themed carnival rides...

Another helping of high fantasy is heading your way with both Delicious in Dungeon and Record of Lodoss War. As Laios and his friends venture deeper into the dungeon, good nutrition will be harder to come by. Luckily, Senshi knows a few golems who are good for growing fresh veggies. Another party led by Kabru gets the spotlight for a moment, but they soon fall victim to some bite-sized treasure insects. Laios ventures into some Living Paintings to see if he can grab some takeout, but a mysterious figure grabs him instead. Back in Lodoss, the party finally meets the elf Deedlit. They are soon captured by the soldiers from Alania, who are quickly defeated in-turn by Marmo invaders. The Kingdom of Valis now remains as the last bulwark against Emperor Beld and his forces. A Black Knight arrives, a Princess is captured, and an immense dragon stirs as Parn and his friends fight for answers. Remember to pack some sanctified sorbet and be mindful of mimics for today's freshly baked episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!

Angst isnt all its cracked up to be and when some demons are thrown into the mix, magic might be the only way to solve some sort of problems. Also, its someone's birthday and what better way to celebrate than with a Jumbo Berry Surprise? Weebs and Wyrms? Eventually I will get it, I swear...
