Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

This show is what you get when Gainax, an anime studio infamous for cliffhanger endings and being ing crazy, makes a parody of western cartoons which is similar to the Powerpuff Girls, but instead of being child-friendly, it's... not. Aside from the name, there's the fact that Panty and Stocking, the main characters (incidentally, these are sister angels we're talking about), can turn their namesakes into pistols and katanas (respectively), and the one about there being more cursing in one episode than several of South Park, and the other one involving a plethora of sex and terlet jokes. Surprisingly, it's actually not porn, despite coming close on a few occasions. You know, because the creators are trolls.

Funimation released the dubbed version on the 10th, and I found a perfectly legal stream of it on the 15th.

Don't watch this if you're easily offended. Or moderately offended. I have no idea what possessed me to post this.

According to the developers of Gainax, this was exactly what they wanted to make for years.

Is it any good? I've heard kind of mixed things but Gainax is usually pretty ok.

It's easily one of my favorite TV shows. Better than Gurren Lagann, even.

For the record, I don't like FLCL.

I enjoy the show. It's typical Gainax, surreal and filled with random innanities. My kind of show honestly, though I can see how it doesn't appeal to people.

Well, most opinions about this series is mixed; you either hate it or love it.

But yes I am still surprised people in Gainax actually want to "make" this type of show most.

Well, they did come up with the idea when they were drunk.

I'll probably check it out then, Gainax usually doesn't disappoint. I was surprised to see ads for it though, rare enough for anime.

How many anime are drawn like this? If I didn't know it was by Gainax, I never would've guessed before getting to the obligatory cliffhanger ending.

Well, Gainax mixes and matches their art styles. I meen if you really look for the typical Gainax tropes, you can tell this was them. And I honestly REALLY like the art style, I enjoy it when people try to go for stylised instead of the typical Anime art style.

On the whole I enjoyed it but, its not something i'm going to go out of my way to watch again. It's good, not great.

I disagree, but I'm a serial spammer.

Season 2 anywhere?

Gainax is still pretending to not be making it.

Watched only the first couple episodes dubbed (Double A PM me the stream). I love this .

I still prefer Excel Saga for my random factor.

I watched it dubbed and stopped at the second half because there was a different voice actor for Excel, who was not as hyper as the previous one was. I don't know if I'll ever finish it because the personalities are so different.

True, that shift threw me off as well. I don't know I still found it entertaining. Have you seen Poni Poni Poemi? It's two episodes of chaotic awesome.

Edit: Also the sub of Excel Saga is honestly just as funny, without the random VA shift in the middle of the run.

SUBTITLES VERSION!

That's how I watched Pinkie and Stocking at least...

Yeah well it's dubbed now, go watch it again.

fp, did you watch Powerpuff Girls and other American shows as a kid? If you didn't, that's probably why I like it more than you.

I actually loved The Powerpuff Girls as a kid. (I'm a gay dude, I had to have somthing girly to latch onto) like I said, I don't absolutley love it, but I got a nice warm nostalgia feeling from it, both from the Gainax tropes and the Powerpuff girls/Tartakovsky vibe. I'd definatly watch it again, i'm just not going to go "I need to buy all teh DvD's and watch it everydaaaay" like some anime fans I know *cough*roommates*cough*. But I'm definatly going to buy some merch from this, I think they're gonna have some really cool tie-in stuff. And I'm a sucker for swag.
