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 spring 2015 . . .

Case Closed Reviews: Spring 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 spring:
Listen – Final impressions of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders S2 from David Productions. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Listen – Final impressions of Kuroko’s Basketball S3 from Productions I.G. It is streaming on Crunchyroll and Daisuki.
Listen – Final impressions of Sound! Euphonium from Kyoto Animation. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Listen – Final impressions of Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches from Liden Films. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.
Hisui: Spring Anime 2015 Expert
Since we have started doing the SWAT reviews Kate and I have watched a good deal of new anime. It means we get to see hidden gems as often as we get hit with some nasty surprises every season. It also means we can make guest appearances on podcasts talking about the new season. This time I was on the Spiraken Anime Corner (a spin-off of the Spiraken Manga Review) talking about the new and returning shows in the spring season. My only regret is I did not really talk more about Go! Princess PreCure. It is a great show that has really been pulling on a rich legacy of shojo anime and needs a bit more attention from the older fandom that would appreciate the references in the series. It is still great as a kids cartoon but that extra dimension is mostly going ignored.
See which series I recommend, which series you should avoid, and what should you think about watching despite the fact they might not seem up your alley.
