Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector – 09

(Insupekutaa)
"Inspector"

After witnessing Mao Industries on the moon get taken over by the Inspectors, the focus shifts to Tesla Reich Institute where they're in the process of doing the same. There, the forces led by Vigaji are interested in taking over the research facility and stealing the latest Earth Federation prototypes, forcing the pilots of the Project TD team to escape with them. Coming in to lend a hand is none other than Trombe.

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt – 09

(Tenshi ga Mizugi ni Kigaetara)
"If the Angels Wore Swimsuits"

Okay so it's no question the demon sisters aren't going to be leaving the plot for at least the rest of this season, but no complaints there. After all, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be getting a volleyball match of celestial proportions. I suppose you can consider this your typical swimsuit episode, but in terms of PSG, that's kind of weird isn't it?

Tegami Bachi REVERSE – 09

It won't cause her to explode like a Gaichuu, but Lag's Akabari is effective in its own way.

"200 Years of Solitude"

Just like the preview hinted at last time, we have a full-out fight between Niche and her sister after the latter decides to kill Lag along with the foolish townsfolk. With the sheer amount of action involved, it was an episode very unlike the usual ones. What I really enjoyed was how it touched upon Lag and Niche's past and finally made the memories of the main characters the focus for a change, plus there was Lag stepping in to save Niche as well. For those reasons, this arc covering Niche's past have quickly become some of my favorite episodes to date.
