Comments | Alex: Action anime series about high school girls having to fight to save the world. I can’t excatly say what the tone of this is though. The cover art implies that it at least starts moderately light, but covers can be deceiving. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “none of the titles I’ve seen are particularly compelling, but Ready Player One is definitely on my ‘must see’ list.” Alex says, “Ready Player One is also on my to-watch this as well.”
I rewatched the Ready Player One movie, and I think I enjoyed it less than I did in the theater. The book was much better, and the changes to the story steal a lot of the charm.
If the book was better, I may have to just pass on the movie. The book was mediocre at best.
