Join Anime Was (Not) A Mistake in our new environmental endeavors. Stop Pollution! Give Back Our Sun! Let Kaiju settle their differences through words and not violence! While that last demand may take a while to take off the rest are key themes present in Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971). Following a time skip in our retrospective, Godzilla is now a hero of Japan faced with pollution incarnate, Hedorah. This new kaiju has a host of tricks hidden and is certainly not afraid to play “dirty” Will Japan and the King of the Monsters come out of this film squeaky clean? Listen and fins out!

Anime Was (Not) A Mistake is like a beast-with three heads, fans, critics, and a confused audience, all combined. Appropriate, being that today’s film is Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964). This is a weird one starring what many consider to be Godzilla’s arch-rival, straight outta space, King Ghidorah! In addition to action packed kaiju battles, plot lines in this film include the following: A Princess Venusian, the worst assassins ever, one “over it” Mothra larva, a bullied Rodan, and plenty of Shobijin music numbers for you stans! Godzilla has his claws-full, so lend a year and listen.

Good Day, Star-child Anime Was (Not) A Mistake says “Hello!” On this episode we witness another kaiju battle, but this time the stakes are raised. It is not just humanity who quakes in the wake of beasts, but the forces of good and evil are called into question. In Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) only peace can restore the balance brought about by Godzilla’s nuclear rampage. What lies inside the egg's shell? Will Greed overtake us and make us forget the ringing voices of the Earth! We must look to the youth and learn from our past mistakes. But, will it be too late? Spread your wings,listen to the call of the Shobijin, and prepare to find out!
