On this week's episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake we return once more to Cardcaptor Sakura on her quest to transform the Clow cards, through her own magic. There are still many strange, happenings all around town and a constant presence of the long believed dead Clow Reed. Syaoran is still at ends with confessing his true feelings to Sakura, despite Tomoyo's gentle guidance. Eriol is still just at the sidelines, swearing that "things are going to get interesting" but we will have to wait and see. Meanwhile, Toya knows that his sister it tripping the light fantastique and that Yuki is slowly succumbing to the angelic presence within him. Still, there is plenty more to do and see as we quickly approach the end of the series. A close friend is back from Hong Kong, the cards show their gratitude to Sakura, a trip to a waterpark that could have been and email and finally yet another school trip to a snowy ski chalet. Just how much budget do these Japanese elementary schools have? Stick around as we see Sakura's journey through to the end...I hear the cream sodas here are worth the price of admission.

With the Clow Cards all finally gathered, darkness overtakes Anime Was (Not) A Mistake as we sit microphones and Tomoyo's camcorder at the ready... First, Yuki's human form is returned thanks to some energy granted to him by his "best friend" Touya. Still the angel of all our dreams though. Next, Sakura descends into the past for some kind words and life lessons from the OG Cardcaptor himself, Clow Reed. With newly instilled self-confidence, one final trial lays before our heroes. Eriol's machinations culminate in a test that could result in the memory erasure of everyone of the characters we have loved so dearly along the way. Can Sakura use all her befriended cards, skill, and knowledge she has accrued over 70 episodes to prevail? This challenge may prove too daunting for even the most skilled magical girl. However, through the bonds of friendship and love we can truly rely on Sakura's eternal slogan "It will all work out." Cardcaptor Sakura has taught us all that with optimism, tasty sweets, and just a little bit of magic we can all be the mohojo shoujo we dream of being. And yet the question still stands...what if there was just one more card?

Spooktoberfest 2026 comes to a semi-sinister end with 2024’s Immaculate. Sydney Sweeney stars as Sister Cecilia (say that five times fast), who became a novice nun after inexplicably surviving a childhood accident. After receiving a personal invitation from Father Sal Tedeschi, Sister Cecilia joins the Our Lady of Sorrows convent in Italy. The convent is ostensibly meant to care for elderly nuns, but its leaders' true plans are much darker. Miraculously, Sister Cecilia becomes pregnant despite being a virgin. While the other nuns treat Sister Cecilia with a mix of adoration, jealousy, and suspicion, Father Sal stresses that this “immaculate” conception must be hidden from the outside world for the time being. Locked away and kept under strict supervision, the frightened Sister Cecilia must unravel the mystery of Our Lady of Sorrows as her due date draws closer. Indeed, her captors have seemingly abused modern science to bring forth something unholy. Luckily, Anime Was (Not) A Mistake has covered this subject before. As Mewtwo taught us, attempting to clone the divine can only lead to lots of explosions.
