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.

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 fall:

Listen – Final impressions of One-Punch Man from MADHOUSE. It is streaming on Hulu and VIZ.com.

Listen – Final impressions of Magical Somera-chan from Seven. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – Final impressions of The Perfect Insider from A-1 Pictures. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – Final impressions of Young Black Jack from Tezuka Productions. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.
