We’re 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 2016 . . .

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.

Kate’s picks:
- Go Read Kuroko’s Basketball. Now. FOR FREE.
Before releasing the series (hopefully) in physical form, VIZ has started putting up chapters digitally! Haikyu! is also among the free offerings. - The Biggest Print-fun for a Graphic Novel EVAR
And there are still too many people who don’t know Raina Telgemeier’s name.
Alain’s picks:
- The Failure of Diplomacy
While the First Opium War turns violent quickly it might seem like peace would come just as quickly but that would be a foolish assumption to make. - The Power of Carrots
A intriguing examination of power of incentives. They have the power to greatly influence people’s behaviors but can have unintended consequences if not fully thought out before they are implemented. - No Prequel. No Sequel. Just Be Happy You Got an Ending to This.
It is time for GME! Anime Fun Time to take its turn reviewing Giant Robo: The Animation – The Day the Earth Stood Still. - Galaxy Bang! Bang!
Nozomi Entertainment has license rescued Galaxy Angel and is not putting it out on Blu-ray. You will buy it. That is all.
I love the humor from these early chapters of Kuroko’s Basketball.
