| Comments | Isekai (Another World) anime series where the main character (as the title suggests) ends up getting brought into a Fantasy world with his smartphone – he has access to our world’s internet, and in turn can use that to get access to information that would not be available otherwise (think the chemistry textbooks in Ash’s trunk in Army of Darkness on steroids). The Limited Edition comes in a rigid slipcase with art cards, an art book, and a cellphone charm (naturally). | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Stardust Crusaders is a good jumping on point for the JoJo’s franchise. It’s the story arc of the franchise that got the most buzz through other works, meaning that if you’d heard anything about the franchise before, it was probably in relation to this arc.” Blaine says, “Psych was largely great and well worth checking out.”
If you can grab the two Blue Planet series on Blu-Ray (or 4K), do it. Gorgeous nature documentary.
