Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “my pick of the week is Otherside Picnic. It’s a very solidly done supernatural horror/suspense anime, particularly the writing and the character dynamics, and I’m definitely intending to pick up the novels in the not-too-distant future.” Blaine says, “the best is probably Magnum, P.I., but it’s not really mind-blowing.”
