Panty and Stocking (Episode 6):
Panty and Stocking are in the middle of killing replica ghosts, and take a bathroom break. Once outside, students are going by wondering why they aren’t in uniform. Seems the new queens of the school have put rules into place. Brief explains they are the mayor’s daughters. They arrive, and are introduced as Scanty and Kneesocks. The four of them begin arguing over the new school rules. They meet again in the cafeteria and are ridiculed by the demon sisters. Right before Panty can freak out, Stocking goes off. They have decided to settle who is better, but our angels are done before they begin. Now left to taking the loser class, they run into Brief and a loser ghost. The ghost claims to have information. and takes them to a ghost plant which is creating all the replicas. We soon find out the demon sisters are behind it. Panty and Stocking transform, and the demon twins do the exact same. The girls are about to fight, and Brief ends up with the stone used to create the demons. Panty starts attacking the replicas, and Stocking holds off even more attacks. Brief jumps into a nearby toilet, followed by the replicas. They all start coming out of the toilets in school. Panty and Scanty begin fighting, while Stocking tries to protect Brief from Kneesocks. They fight for a good amount of time. Right when Scanty and Kneesocks have Brief, Panty is ready to let him die to kill the demon sisters. They disarm the sisters and destroy the stone, which causes the school to explode. The sisters leave, but vow revenge. The sisters report back to the mayor and are punished for their failure.
This was one single episode, without parts and it was awesome. This episode revealed an actual plot line. The fight scenes were very well done. Scanty and Kneesocks were also an interesting pair, and I look forward to more of them in the future.
Tarou’s sister and mother end up finding text messages from Yuuno on his phone. They assume Yuuno is after him and vow to prevent that. Mio is beating the crap out of Tarou per usual. Nothing is working as Tarou’s condition is just making him enjoy it more and more. Afterward, Yuuno is in a nurse outfit, and Tarou praises her. He arrives home to his mom and sister getting him into the bath so they can join him. He makes them get out, but they were able to grab his cell phone and read his texts again. They send Yuuno a text inviting her over. Once Yuuno comes over, his mother and sister are being overly nice and Tarou is bothered by their behavior. They ask about their relationship, and Yuuno says they aren’t dating yet. They go up to Tarou’s room and it is trashed and there are muscle posters all over his room. There are also female gym outfits in his closet. After everything has settled down, he apologizes. She explains she is not bothered to be alone with him anymore. When it seems they would kiss, his mom and sister barge in. They try to show albums of him as a kid, and make up lies about him loving them. They end up fighting against each other. Yuuno isn’t too bothered by it all and is actually jealous of his family. She tells him of her dream to marry the man she loves and to have a warm and happy family. Yuuno runs off, and Tarou finds the plans to scare off Yuuno. Michiru catches his mom and sister, and Tarou allows her to use them for a photo shoot as revenge.
Not nearly as funny as last weeks, but Tarou’s relationship with Yuuno is growing. Seeing how she is much more comfortable with Tarou is nice, and I like that they have something developing. His mom and sister were hilarious, and I am glad they got almost a whole episode with them in it.
Manami is asking Kyousuke to come to the fair to try some sweets. Kirino is home and a package has arrived for her. Kyousuke is out with Manami and they find her grandfather laid out on a table. The grandmother comes out and says he is playing dead. While having some tea with her family, her little brother shows up with a monk’s haircut. The grandfather teases him. Manami brings out candy for Kyousuke to try, that she made herself. He praises her and her grandparents say they should get married already. Kirino is in her room opening up her package and it is a Meruru dakimakura. Kyousuke is hanging out with Manami in her room. He tells her that he will help set up for the fair. Manami invites him to stay over after he is finished, and he agrees. Kirino is now eating dinner with the family, and their mom says he will be staying at Manami’s. Manami offers Kyousuke to take a bath, but he tells her to go first. After she offers to take one together, Kyousuke turns it around on her and agrees. As they head to bed, they find both of their futons next to each other. Her grandfather arrives and pushes them both into the room. Kyousuke argues with him, but Manami says she is okay with it. They ask how each other would react if someone said they liked them. Kirino is back home and unhappy at Kyousuke not being home.
Manami is absolutely the cutest in this episode. I love her shy demeanor and how she tries to make advances, but is always nervous trying to do so. She is my personal favorite to be Kyousuke’s love interest.
Mune and Sen are looking in to missing students and notice a trend in their disappearances. Sen believes her brother is behind it and plans to steal data from his servers. As they are trying to leave, an alarm goes off. Matabei and Sanada show up to see where they are going. Jubei and Hanzo show up as well. After some grilling, they all end up going on vacation. Sanada and Sen are arguing over who has the better swimsuit, and suddenly they transform. They try and make Mune decide, but he gets all embarrassed. We find out Yoshihiko has asked Naoe to get rid of Mune. Sen is in the server room and searches for the great shadow, which brings up a secret access confirmation. Naoe is cleaning the bath when Mune arrives. She is hiding and assumes if she is caught, he will have his way with her. She ends up falling on top of him in the bath. Everyone gives chase after Naoe, and Mune informs Sen she is an assassin. She uses an item given to her by Yoshihiko, and it unleashes a tentacled spirit. It backfires and eats her. It attacks and Sanada is able to defend it, and Sen shows up to help. Sen unleashes an attack, but Naoe is taking damage as well. Sen and Sanada begin arguing again. Hanzo and Matabei are caught while trying to protect them. While still arguing, Mune breaks them up. Sanada explains they must break the core connected to Naoe’s chest. Jubei transforms and with the help of Zen and Sanada, they are able to defeat it and save Naoe.
This is the best episode yet. There was plenty of humor, a good amount of fan service, but the battle at the end was awesome. I liked seeing everyone coming together to help defeat the monster. The story is finally progressing along as well, with Sen and Mune realizing Yoshihiko is up to no good.

@G-Nitro That screen shot of Kirino with a dakimakura, priceless. Good going on the mention btw! I like to see this site really take off and not die down like Animevice (now just a anime wiki now with forums topics of just vs., no thank you).
Panty and Stocking was awesome I really liked the new mystery ghost. Looks to be promising.
