Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “My pick of the week this time, on the anime side of things, is Short Piece – it’s the last of the big major anthology films. While we’ve gotten short film collections since then, they’ve generally been web-only things, like the Japan Animator Expo. On the 4K side, I’m going with Heat – which is probably one of Michael Mann’s greatest films.” Blaine says, “nothing jumps out at me from this bunch.”
