Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Of the titles I’ve seen, The Guild: Season Five is an easy recommendation. New Wallace and Gromit is always must-see material, though.” Alex says, “Not a lot that I’ve seen this week. That said, I do want to see Mardock Scramble, as well as Five Element Ninjas, and I need to see Triad Election (having seen and enjoyed Election), and Tintin. I’m going with Tintin as my pick of the week.”
