Anime Was (Not) A Mistake keeps skating up that hill, with Sk8 the Infinity. Reki may be wrecked, but on this episode a skating tournament is announced and our characters get a little bit deeper. After recovering in a beach episode our main cast deals with toxic relationships, inferiority complexes, and a confusion between love and pain. All typical anime/podcast faire. However, we still have a few episodes to go and who knows where the slick treads of this podcast may lead? Will Reki and Langa cement their "friendship?" Only Dan and Jonathan can be sure, as they cling to their boards in uncertainty...

A controversial continuation of a beloved game, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children has been summoned for today's podcast episode. Two years after Meteorfall destroyed Midgar, Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart have built a new life in the city of Edge. Humanity faces a new crisis in the form of geostigma, a dangerous disease seemingly carried by the Lifestream itself. Burdened by this illness and his own grief, Cloud has become distant from his friends. A trio of silver-haired youths arrive at Edge in search of their lost "mother." Our heroes quickly deduce that this so-called Reunion will lead to the resurrection of the villainous Sephiroth. AVALANCHE must return to battle in order to stop this apocalyptical plot, while Cloud will have to find the resolve to face his nemesis once again. Things are...much more complicated than this simple blurb can convey. We can't promise that everything will make sense on today's installment of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, but everything will definitely look (or sound) cool!

Today's Sinister Six offering is certain to melt your heart...if it doesn't put you to sleep first. In The Incredible Melting Man, an astronaut (named Steve, just Steve) returns to Earth as the lone survivor of a disastrous mission to Saturn. But Steve is feeling a bit under the weather. Being exposed to solar radiation filtered through the rings of Saturn (we think) has turned him into a melting man! Steve embarks on slow-paced rampage, consuming as many people as possible in order to survive extraterrestrial ailment. Opposing him is the very unpleasant Dr. Ted Nelson, the very hungry General Perry, and a variety of very unlikeable townspeople. Before listening to today's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, we advise our listeners to have two buckets ready. One bucket is for goo, the other is for lemons (it won't make sense in context).
