Synopsis
Three Ginrei episodes: dress deception, giant robot clone, and desert rescue with Tetsugyu.
In episode one, Ginrei's dress is stolen, only to be used to fool the enemy. The second episode deals with a giant robot made exactly in her image. Finally, the third episode concerns Tetsugyu and Ginrei investigating a lost research team in a "wild west" desert setting. (Source: ANN)
