Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the anime front I’m going with SPT Layzner – it’s a series I’d been hoping would get a HD release for quite some time. On the non-anime front, No Time to Die is a solid final outing for Daniel Craig as James Bond, though Last Man Standing is a guilty pleasure of mine, and because I already got the Daniel Craig 5-film collection in UHD, I’ll probably upgrade my DVD relase of Last Man Standing instead.” Blaine says, “I don’t think I’ve actually seen anything on this short list of releases, but No Time to Die is the one that most draws my interest. I own both that and Spectre but have yet to find time to watch either.”
