You voted, so this week, Anipro watches "Kimi ni Todoke: From Me To You"; a classic shojo romcom that is just begging to give you the sugar sweet feelings in your belly. (There may even be pre-marital hand-holding).

Did the boys like the sugary flavour of this romance anime? Or did it have a sour after-taste?

Tune in to find out!

But first, the boys are dense AF, some new reviews are revealed, and more!
