S.W.A.T. Reviews: Spring 2014 Pt. 2

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 final batch from the new season:

Listen – First impressions of The File of Young Kindaichi Returns from Toei Animation. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Riddle Story of Devil from Diomedea. It is streaming on Funimation and Hulu.

Listen – First impressions of No Game No Life from MADHOUSE. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Mekaku City Actors from SHAFT. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of Mushishi the Next Chapter from Artland. It is streaming on Crunchyroll.

Listen – First impressions of M3 the Dark Metal from Satelight. It is streaming on Daisuke.
