Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “While it’s a steep price, if we get a complete boxed set of Naruto Shippuden after this, I’d honestly consider picking up the Naruto boxed set. Is there a lot of filler there? Absolutely, but you get most of one of the definitive shonen anime of the start of the 21st century (of the ones that have finished running – One Piece is still going) – and if Shippuden gets a similar treatment, that gives you the entirety of the story. Otherwise, I’m going with the UHD release of Yojimbo and Sanjuro (if you have the ability to play UHD disks).” Blaine says, “I’d also say that the Yojimbo/Sanjuro set is the pick of the week.”
