| Comments | A more conventional portal fantasy isekai, where the main character can travel back and forth beween the fantasy world and our world, meaning that they can bring treasure from the fantasy world into our world and put it in a retirement account. Alex: I feel like it speaks volumes at the state of the world that in a series like this, even one from Japan, the power fantasy from this series is “Get a retirement account.” | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Crimson Peak is an underrated gem in Guillarmo Del Toro’s filmography, and I’m really looking forward to being able to pick it up in a UHD release. Otherwise, I’m leaning towards Galaxy Next Door on the anime side, and the Republic Pictures horror collection otherwise.” Blaine says, “none of the titles I’ve seen jump out at me.”
I am a big fan of Frasier, so I was pleased by the new series. It’s getting a second season, so I hope it’ll get even better (and maybe have a few of the original cast back…pretty please)
