Anime Was (Not) A Mistake

On the Season 3 finale of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake, hosts Jonathan and Daniel, at last, confront The Beast and their own pasts in order to finally leave The Unknown. Loyal Listeners, gather your courage and hope as we traverse the perils of harsh winters, the loss of childhood innocence, and yes, even teenage experiences in high school. Only with your continued support can we return home and give that special mix tape to the ones we love. Will this "denouement" be as sweet as potatoes and molasses? Or will we feel the harsh, metallic, sting as a pair of bluebird scissors render our adelwood flesh to lantern oil?  Either way we thank you pilgrims, for accompanying us on this strange voyage Over the Garden Wall…and that, dear friends, is a Rock Fact™.

This time on Anime Was (Not) A Mistake we reconvene for our Satoshi Kon vs. Mamoru Hosoda marathon with one of the best Christmas movies of all time, Tokyo Godfathers. Even though we may be on a quest to return a lost baby to it’s family, we can’t resist stopping for a drink, doting over cats, and squabbling in the streets with the people we’ve grown close to. Don your Santa hats and festive spirits, there’s only one anime trope that we want under the tree this year, and that is true family are the friends you make along the way. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve gotta drink some Sake in this cemetery. Merry Christmas!
