Anime Was (Not) A MistakeEpisode 312: Princess Tutu: Part 4: FinaleA finale of an age-old story on tonight's episode of Anime Was Not A Mistake. As it seems now our tale's many characters are at their breaking points. A murder of crow circle them, the play is yet unwritten, and the dance unfinished. Through this and all will the prince obtain his heart, the writer pen a satisfying conclusion, the child of crows feel love, and a duck be born again in the dance? The stage is set and the curtain rises one final time. All we can pray for is for the success of Princess Tutu.

The party is slowed down again when changeling mushrooms mix things up, forcing them to think quickly and adapt. As the party descends deeper, outside forces join the fray and the dungeon’s ecology becomes ever-more unstable. (But don’t worry, there’s still time for a quick bite.)

We continue the performance that is Princess Tutu as all of our characters have seemingly met their storybook ends. However, all is not as it seems, in this anime. A duck longs to be a swan, a crow yearns to be a lover. A knight a storyteller and a prince to be free. As our pieces are posed to dance on pointe in the finale, what will happen? And will we have to make s...2025-04-132h 14Anime Was (Not) A MistakeEpisode 309: Delicious in Dungeon X Toriko (Part VI)In what’s already being hailed as our best episode yet (by us), we dive into another combo platter of Delicious in Dungeon and Toriko.

Today on the podcast, we see as Duck, Rue, Mytho, and Fakir deal with their assigned roles in a cosmic story dictated before them. Should a sword of swans be used to shatter a prince's heat?
