theme night coming up

As soon as I heard we were having an "underappreciated/underrated anime theme night" for one of our showings this semester, I knew exactly what I was going to bring.

L/R: Licensed By Royalty.

A lot of the series is similar to James Bond-type things.  The main characters are agents of an undercover government agency and have all sorts of spy devices and disguises.  There's the doctor who's continually inventing new things, some of which are actually useful, and others of which look neat but fail hilariously.  Then there's Mr. Pennylane, who always says "That's right." in English during mission briefings to confirm the agents' suspicions.  The whole thing is set in a country that's supposed to be a takeoff of Britain, so the random English kind of makes sense, but it's still funny.

As for which episode I want to show, that's where the dilemma is.  My immediate thought was to go with episode 4, which shows how awesome the main characters are at what they do while still maintaining their everyday personalities.  It's also a very entertaining episode overall, with plenty of laughs.

However, that episode doesn't contain my favorite character in the series.  I actually forget which episode he first shows up in, but it shows how epically awesome he is.  Yeah, you read that right, I have a male favorite character from a series.  I need to figure out which episode this is (I think it might be 5 or 6).

Dilemma, thy name is anime.
