It's almost the midpoint of Spring, and you know what that means! It's time for us to give you our early impressions on Spring 2024 seasonal anime. However, since this season is so packed, we needed to call in the experts (A.K.A. Dave from the Treehouse Anime Club Podcast).

Join us as we unravel the mysteries surrounding the spring season of anime. What's good? What's mid? What SHOULD people watch? Find out in this extra long episode of AniPro.

Also, we spend the first minutes of the pod discussing our guest's top anime, as well as their history with anime.

What better way to celebrate mother's day than to review an anime with many "step on me mommy" energy characters, the 1995 hit OVA: Golden Boy! With a coloured legacy like the one the manga-ka had, what could possibly go wrong?

But first, Cole, Mike, and Jay discuss their favourite "step on me mommy" characters, anime has dumb titles (including and especially Light Novels), and more!
