This is something new for 2015. We’ve decided to starting highlighting each anime season with a mini-version of our end of the year awards. We hope this helps cap-off the season with a splash (and helps us remember all of great things by the time the end of the year rolls around). So without further ado, our picks for the best of winter 2015 . . .

First impressions are great but what about our thoughts after we’ve watched an entire series week to week? We figured our listeners might want to hear our final impressions as well so we’ve created the Case Closed Review podcast. Just like the S.W.A.T. Reviews, these will be mini-podcasts and completely off the cuff.
Here are the shows we finished which ended this winter:
Listen – Final impressions of GARO the Animation from MAPPA. It is streaming on Hulu and Funimation.

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works #013 – Break Your Heart

When we last left our heroes it was not looking that good for them. Saber has been captured. Caster controls a tremendous amount of mana, Ryuudou Temple, and the Fuyuki Church. Caster also has Assassin and Souichirou Kuzuki as strong physical attackers as part of her alliance on top of her own outrageous magical ability. Rin has broken her alliance with Shiro who is injured both physically and emotionally. On top of that Archer seems to be loyal but that fealty is highly conditional. Shiro and Rin have been down for so long it is starting to look like up to them.
And it is only going to get worse.
On the plus side Kirei Kotomine is out of the picture for the time being.
But he has a bad habit of popping up in accordance with Murphy’s law.
So, yeah. Pretty much just the worst of times.
