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

Listen – First impressions of Go! Princess PreCure from Toei Animation.

Sentence: Lock ‘Em Up and Throw Away the Key

Listen – First impressions of Isuca from Production NAS. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.
