Comments Alex: Anime series about a portal to a fantasy realm opening in the middle of Tokyo – and the JSDF repelling an incursion from that world before setting up a foothold on the other side. The novels the show is based on tend towards the incredibly unpleasently hawkish. The anime tones things down to something closer to “Michael Bay movie” in terms of the political overtones.

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “If you have a 4K TV and player, The Fifth Element is definitely worth picking up.” Blaine says, “I agree with Alex. Of the titles I’ve seen, the format upgrade of The Fifth Element is the most compelling release this week. I bought the first season of Class through iTunes, but haven’t watched it yet.”

  1. I dunno about 5th Element being that great in 4K. I watched it recently and I think the added resolution will just enhance the cheesiness.

    I’m willing to give it a shot, but not enough to shell out money for it.

    …and for some reason 4K content is sparse on certain nautically-themed websites. Also I hear that for some reason the people who get their hands on 4K content tend to downmix the audio to stereo which just pisses me off.

  2. Huh? I had no idea there was a King Solomon’s Mines miniseries. Starring the late Patrick Swayze, no less. I may have to dig that up and take a gander.
