Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going to be picking up Heavy Metal L-Gaim, as it’s one of the anime series on my to-watch list. That said, Rock is a Lady’s Modesty is a series I was able to watch with my parents and they enjoyed, though I wouldn’t consider it kid friendly (what with the copious amounts of profanity). My UHD pick is my other anime pick of the month, with Perfect Blue.” Blaine says, “there have been plenty of editions of both titles, but I’ll still say that To Kill a Mockingbird and The Wizard of Oz should be in every collection.”
