| Comments | Netflix Original anime series from the creator of Cowboy Bebop, set in the same universe, but following a pair of aspiring musicians. This release is by Sentai Filmworks, so likely they redubbed the series, rather than pay to license Netflix’s dub. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the anime, and general ‘If you’re a fan of animation you’ll like this’ front, I’m going with the Masaaki Yuasa collection – we don’t quite have all his big stuff out on physical media yet, as there is no physical release of Devilman Crybaby. However, this is a solid selection of some really, really good animated films that showcase Yuasa’s craft as a director. Otherwise, for general viewers I’m going with the Columbo collection.” Blaine says, “I’m recommending the Columbo set with no caveats.”
Missing from the reviews of Bitch Slap is something that received a little more publicity at the time, and will be of note to fans of 90s fantasy TV: Lucy Lawless, Renée O’Connor, and Kevin Sorbo all have cameo supporting roles.
I was quite surprised to learn that Trolls Band Together is a kid’s movie, and not a documentary about horrible people online.
