Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “if you already have Doctor Who (and you should), go for the classic Universal horrors.” Alex says, ” I’ll admit I’m in an anime state of mind due to being at Kumoricon this week (also, if you see me, say Hi). So, I’m going with the SAVE Editions of Baka & Test this week. The show’s a fairly straightforward comedy anime, but it’s still very enjoyable and well animated, with some nice satirical touches (though I’m not sure if they’re intentional or not).”
