Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “grab the Hitchcock collection if you don’t already have fancier editions of those titles.” Alex says, “Attack on Titan isn’t really my cup of tea, but I can’t deny it’s a very good show. I’d recommend checking some episodes out on Funimation.com, Crunchyroll, or Hulu, and if you like it, picking that up. Otherwise, I’d recommend waiting until next week.”
