[Japanese clips are subtitled in English.] Episode 39 looks at "Joshikousei" (High School Girls), "Bartender" and "Asatte no Houkou" (Towards the Day After Tomorrow). Joshikousei is another venerable entry in the pantheon of up-skirt late night anime that highlights the importance of clean underwear, especially for high school anime girls. Bartender casts the title role as a miracle worker with a cocktail shaker, whose prescriptions are as efficacious as the best of medicines. Asatte no Houkou pairs a little sister who wants to escape her childhood with a jealous ex-girlfriend who wants a fresh start... so they magically swap ages.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is what you would get if you did a mash-up of a horror, mystery and harem anime... and made it engrossing. Nishi no Yoki Majo is an often boring, sometimes exciting, Cinderella story... that is, if Cinderella had had to deal with the Inquisition. Garasu no Kantai is a retelling of something akin to the French Revolution, except it's done in a weird parallel universe outer space, where countries are populated asteroids and there's no lack of oxygen.

Juu Oh Sei follows a pair of twins who are whisked off to a prison planet of carnivorous plants following the apparent political murder of their parents, their only escape embodied in becoming the planet's Beast King. Super Robot Taisen is yet another in a long line of battle suit anime sponsored by toy company Bandai to promote a new line of action toys, special psychic powers included. Pumpkin Scissors, despite the strange title, is a fairly straightforward post-war reconstruction epic, complete with banned weapons, government coverups and pushy girls with guns.
