The premise of these reviews is simple: watch the first episode of a series and then immediately sit down to record a review mini-podcast. The reviews are five- to ten-minutes long and entirely off the cuff. As always we only review new shows (so no sequels or continuations) and try to avoid anything that just looks outright awful.
These are the first batch from the new season and now we’ve broken them into (helpful?) categories:
Sentence: Free to Go

I hope you have tweeted Gail Simone thanks for the term “fridged” because I can’t even recall what term or phrase that was used before that!
Overlord was the weakest anime so far, and I have watched the pillow boys anime. I don’t know how to describe it, but I feel like it wasn’t written with much of an audience in mind. Maybe self-insert fantasy describes it best.
