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.

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!

Cole, Mike, and Jay are going on an adventure and need a mage to round out the party. Fifteen applicants have given the boys their resumes, and it's up to them to decide the most worthy applicant the only way they know how: Tournament style! (Tournaments are back, baby!)

Also, the boys review the 2000s Ai Yazawa manga: Nana, we do be eating, and more!

But first, Jay's watching some cartoons, Mike's getting schooled, Cole quit Elden Ring (but we knew that already) and more!
