Alex says, “Oshi No Ko‘s first season was one of the best anime of 2023 and the theme song (“Idol” by Yoasobi) hit number one on the Worldwide Billboard charts, which is why I’m not only making this my anime pick of the week, but my overall pick of the week. The UHD release of Farewell my Concubine is my UHD pick.” Blaine says, “Nothing jumps out at me this week.”
