Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector – 08

(Kyouchou no Kenzoku)
"The Black Bird's Kindred"

It lost its V-fin antennas and got the Banpresto logo shades treatment like SRX, but the Huckebein Mk. III makes its appearance in this adaptation as the Exbein, complete with the "Ace Attacker" theme. Ryouto goes all out with it as well and uses the AM Gunner's Full Impact Cannon with the Boxer parts still attached to deal with the arrival of the Inspectors. Now there's sheer robot awesomeness and then there's that.

Tegami Bachi REVERSE – 08

Niche's twin sister doesn't believe in clothes, let alone underwear.

"Blue Notes Blues"

One two-cour season and eight episodes later, we finally learn a bit more about Niche's past as the Child of Maka. Up until now, there hasn't been a whole lot about where Lag's faithful dingo came from, so when the preview last time indicated that she would be reunited with the legendary creature and another gold hair, blue eyes, woman with claws for hands, I was expecting big things this week.

Bakuman. – 08

"Uncertainties and Expectations"

Boy was this episode of Bakuman full of twists and turns. From start to finish, I never expected things to go the way they did this episode.
