Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the anime side of things, I’m going with Blue Giant – this is definitely a case where the anime can blow the manga out of the water, even if the anime matches the manga panel for panel, because the anime can present the music being played. On the 4K front, we’ve got a lot of really good picks this week, with Andor in particular catching my interest, though there are plenty of other great options as well.” Blaine says, “I would go with one of the Disney+ series coming to physical media, whether it is Star Wars: Andor, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, etc.”
