In an alternate version of Earth, the Cold War is still in effect after 140 years. The world has been divided into the East and West Bloc, each with powerful organizations and assassins running the show. Agent Mylene Hoffman is as sexy as she is deadly, and while she isn’t bedding with the enemy, she works for Western Bloc’s elite Zero Zero organization as a top-rate spy.

Earth has been struck by a major catastrophe, causing most of the land to be covered by water. Meet Aika Sumeragi, a scavenger who unearths everything from nostalgic treasures to lost technology from the depths - for a price. During a routine assignment to find the rumored energy source Lagu, she finds herself face to face with a man called Hargan and his harem of scantily clad women named Delma! Now, with danger afoot, Aika finds herself smack dab in the middle of a conspiracy involving secret weapons, a crazed scientist and of course, panty shots galore!
Agent Aika is a lot ecchier than 009-1 so be warned. But if you don't mind that, it has a similar old agent movie feel to it and wastes less time on boring dialogue.
These two animes both feature heroines with great physical abilities and that are good with guns. They are both also secret agents.
Both Agent Aika and 009-1 are action-packed ecchi anime. The main lead is a strong-willed female who isn't afraid to show off her body in the process of fighting the bad guys. If you like anime with a "James Bond" feel, both of these anime fit the bill.

Together, they join forces to stop the mad scientist Dr. Gilmore, their creator, and Black Ghost itself. Can they prevail against this nigh unstoppable enemy before the world falls into their villainous control?
Old school anime from Shotaro Ishinomori's hands, full of (then) hi-tech cyborgs and machinery and dark conspiracies, not to mention his very peculiar charades!

These anime both share the theme of "girls with guns" and feature heroines using their skills to fight a greater threat. They also feature a political environment that is unstable.
