"You're going to be my 1000th"
---Panty
Yeah that's about as attractive as the rest of the series.
The best way to think of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is to imagine the powerpuff girls doing porn.
First up, it fails as a comedy. I mean it fails really hard. The jokes are all desperately stupid. They are on the level of somebody taking a plate s**t and smacking themselves in the face with it over and over again, and cackling everytime. It's not funny to begin with and it gets old fast.
Next up ? There is no next up. There's no story no character development. It doesn't try so there's nothing to evaluate.
The Art: Well it's kind of interesting and different. The best way to think of it would be chibi Stripperella with brief moments of more suggestive material. The creators said…

"Fuck if I have a clue." -Panty
I'm not one to normally start off a review with a quote, but from my perspective nothing summed up this show quite so perfectly. Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is the anime parody of western cartoons. To put it accurately, you take the Powerpuff Girls and cross them with South Park. The result, an amalgamation of crude humor, sex jokes, false ecchi, monsters of the week, Team Rocket, and two "Angels" who may just be the antithesis of angels. Allow me to say that it was fucking incredible.
Story: ???
Yeah, I'm not really certain of how I should label this aspect of the show. I mean, c'mon, you read the description, what the fuck is this? How can I possibly score that? It's a bit easier to talk about it rather than apply a numerical value. The story on i…

Now, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is not your typical anime. This is one of the most profane and dirty shows I haved watched probably in my entire lifetime, but you know what, it works. Panty and Stocking is one of those shows you're uncomfortable with watching at first, but then you just accept the fact that you're watching something of its caliber. Gainax, you truly know how to experiment.
Story 6/10
Now I know I shouldn't be expecting much from a comedy show, and I didn't going in. Every episode is a new little story that tells us of the coarse adventures that Panty and Stocking go on regularly. Now there are recurring plot points (I mean if you could even call them that) that pop up here and then. For example, starting with episode 6, the two demon sisters, Scanty and Kneesocks,…

Overview:
There are certain opinions that are accepted on MAL, and certain opinions that stir up lots of anger. Certain anime series can't be praised and others can't be criticized without creating an absolute hailstorm of "unhelpfuls". I don't mean to come across as a mean spirited contrarian and kick any sacred cows, but I have to be honest. This is one of my least favorite anime comedy series. I don't think I laughed once the entire time. That's an accomplishment! I'm pretty easy to make laugh. YES, I understand that the director intended the series to parody the crass stupidity of American comedy and show what American comedy feels like to a Japanese audience. The problem is that this is NOT a good parody/spoof of American stupidity. It is just a very lazy and totally ineffectual copy…

WARNING: This review contains mature language and content that may not be acceptable for all readers.
Panty and Stocking is a unique anime in the sense that in not only has some of the fastest jokes I've ever seen in an anime, but this is the dirtiest, sluttiest, grossist, most foul mouthed anime I've ever seen, including hentai!!!
Story: The story is your basic monster-of-the-week story with Panty and Stocking fighting a different ghost in each episode and each ghost having his own unique powers. However, I will point out that because this is such a short anime, the episodical nature of the story doesn't wear you down as much as it would for animes with 100 episodes or more.
Also, I don't want to spoil anything, but by the final episodes the story gets much more climatic and you have…

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is the most obscene, vulgar, and over the top anime that I’ve ever seen. That is what makes this series so unique and enjoyable. It does, and says things that you’d never expect to see in an anime, and it does it all really well. But with that said, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is not without its problems.
Story:
The story in this series revolves around the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking. They are angels that got kicked out of heaven because couldn’t follow the rules. A handler named Garterbelt accompanies them on their mission to obtain the currency of heaven called Heaven Coins. Their goal is to collect enough Heaven Coins to buy there way back into heaven, but the only way to obtain the coins is by killing ghosts. The story of this series is r…

Do you think you’ve seen everything in entertainment that would make you wide-eyed in disbelief in its various forms of hedonism and debauchery? I’ve got one show for you to feast your eyes on, and, to no surprise, it is thanks to Gainax, by the lead people responsible for Gurren Lagann, unsurprisingly. The name of this title is Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. If you think I use the terms hedonism and debauchery in any negative fashion, trust me when I say it molds those two things into one glorious package.
A way to describe Panty and Stocking, in a nutshell, is to think of the show as Japan’s answer to western animated TV shows, particularly in America. They are open about the aesthetics of the animation and art style it encompasses that feel right at home to some of Gainax’s wackie…

Warning: this review contains some foul language. If you can't handle that, then this review is over... don't watch Panty and Stocking.
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt... A title I’m going to shorten from this point on... Is a show about two angels who’ve been expelled from heaven, and must destroy ghosts in order to be accepted back through the pearly gates. They follow the lead of a mysterious black priest named Garterbelt, who shelters them, manages them, and aids them in finding their targets. However, now that they’re living new lives as mortals, what will be more important to them... Their quest to return to their old home, or the vices and sinful pleasures of their new home?
Our central character is Panty Anarchy, the older of the two sisters. She’s obsessed with sex, and has b…

Gainax decides to take on Western media and produces some interesting results.
As always, my reviews are spoiler free.
Story - 3/10
Panty and Stocking, a pair of angel sisters are rejected from heaven due to their questionable natures. In order to get back in, they must kill ghosts to collect heaven coins. It seems like a pretty simple story, and that's because it is; each episode (with a few exceptions) is divided into two halves, each killing a ghost wreaking some sort of havoc in the city. This havoc is usually directly involved with some sort of crude humor (the tissue factory has been taken over so men can't "relieve their frustrations, all of the city's sewer waste has been possessed, etc.). Panty and Stocking will show up and, with an interesting incantation and poll-dancing maho…

Wow, it's like everything unappealing about both western and eastern animation rolled into one, with a dash of what your mom thinks South Park's sense of humor is like (she probably doesn't realize there are at least satirical and dry British elements in South Park, however heavyhanded). Here's the thing: stuff like farts and orgasms and erections aren't inherently funny. They're potentially funny (but probably not) when juxtaposed with something incongruous or unexpected, but they can't just tossed around like they're a free pass to instant comedy. Meanwhile, it doesn't really matter how "weird" a show is if it looks like it was slapped together in flash animation. The contrived absurdism of the youtube generation flabbily huffs onward.

Well. This was an experience.
PSG is essentially Powerpuff Girls meets South Park, without the social commentary (mostly). The vulgarity is ramped up to 11--so much so that at parts it even made me a bit uncomfortable. (Not an easy thing to do!) If you think that today's crop of adult TV animation is boundary-pushing, then you haven't seen anything yet. The series follows two fallen angels (Panty and Stocking) as they attempt to buy their way back into heaven by eliminating numerous earthly 'ghosts,' which are constructed from the regrets of those who have died. Unfortunately, a lot of these regrets are based around various unsavory elements, which means that Panty and Stocking, when they're not clashing with one another, are fighting giant shit monsters, giant snot monsters, giant vomit…

Basically, I tried watching this show when it came out. And I absolutely hated it. But after tossing and turning the thought around, I finally decided to re-watch it, and I absolutely loved it.
I do NOT suggest watching this show if you are easily annoyed by excessive sexual references, profanity, and if you take every little thing too seriously. Also if you're those types of people who like to nitpick at anime which is...
BUT I DIGRESS.
STORY:
Basically it takes place is Daten City, a place between Heaven and Hell, and you've got Panty and Stocking who are two angels who kill ghosts to collect Heaven Coins to get back to Heaven. Although this show has completely randomness in every single episode that usually don't follow one another, the entire plot still shines through the whole time…

Supposedly, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt was created when the staff of Gurren Lagann got drunk together and ranted about how they wanted to try something different. (At least that's what I gathered from looking up information about it). The result is a series with the theme being "vulgar and indecent" jokes inspired by American adult animation. How does it fare? Let's take a look at Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.
This is another comedy without a major overarching story. Rather, it's very episodic with most of the episodes having nothing to do with each other except for using the same characters and humour. The setting is that two angels are on earth, fighting supernatural monsters called ghosts to earn heaven coins so that they can return home. Moving on to the important quest…

Now I am not the type to write a review. Only because of this anime's unique and amazing(some say orgasmic) qualities I am even bothering to create this review.
Never have I seen anything this strange become something this amazing. It's like the ugly food that you never wanted to try, but once you've tried it you taste the sweet nectar of its sheer brilliance.
Now please enjoy.
Story:
Story is its weakest point, and that is a compliment. This anime isn't meant for the story yet the episodes keep you interested. You don't watch this anime to understand the twisted plotline. You watch it to enjoy the roller coaster ride that is the twisted plotline. The laughs, the sexual jokes and ecchi, the action! There is so much well played mindless comedy its amazing. The ecchi is a lot more comed…

If you're going to watch this show, you should know a few things right off the bat:
It is a not a sophisticated series.
As an anime in general, its selling point is not a deep and compelling story with fleshed out characters, exploring various philosophical issues in order to deliver a good message.
As a comedy anime, its humor is not very classy. Its laughs are not derived from insider knowledge (well, most of them) or sublime writing.
So what exactly is the appeal of this anime, you ask? In Gainax's own words, "vulgar and indecent jokes".
This is usually not a good selling point for anything, because honestly potty humor is very rarely an effective form of comedy. It is quite possible you will not find this series appealing even if you legitimately give it a try. That's fine.

The main outlines of this show are angels, getting Heaven coins to go back to Heaven. However, the lack of creativity within the episodes are absolutely dreadful, so they have to parody other popular show in order to get better publicity. The characters are also major stereotypes and have no real plot devlopment thrown at them, just make them completely one-sided and that's it. Going back to the story, there's not much devlopment for the characters or story, which proves to have a bunch of pointless and uninteresting fillers. Also, the main "humor" parts of the show are sexual references, not like the occasional sex joke, this show is swamped with them, and engrish.
Overall, I think the story is bad, uncreative, and does not put up to the standard it set. The animation is pretty good, as…

"So what's the point?"
The main argument as to why Panty & Stocking is a masterpiece are all embellished ways of saying "funny," "it's a parody," and "cool art." Some people go as far as to say that Panty & Stocking is actually genius scripting - a juxtaposition between today's current moe anime standard and hardcore "American pop culture." I've even come across the explanation that Panty & Stocking is "a new level of anime," one that doesn't require intricate or meaningful plot, characters, or story - essentially an anime that thrives on emotion and it's acute sense of humor.
That my friends, is complete bullshit.
Panty & Stocking is an anime that relies on swears, penis jokes, and violence as its selling point. Now many anime have capitalized on at least one of these points before and…

ah Panty & Stocking, probably one of the most controversial shows from Gainax in quite a while, and since they made good ol' Evangelion, that's saying quite a bit. P&SwG at heart is a love-letter/parody/pastiche/you name it/ to/of Western pop culture. Filled to the brim with toilet humor, references, asinine plot elements and even more inane characters, it's like I sat down to watch some animu and ended up watching something on Adult Swim/Comedy Central. Is it a show everyone can enjoy? Definitely not, it's pretty much cut right down in the middle between lovers: people who absolutely adore it and everything it stands for, and haters; people who wonder how this show even managed to crawl its way out of the depraved minds of the people who thought this insanity up. Will you enjoy it? You ca…

Out of all shows that have been presented in Fall 2010, it seems there is no show like Panty and Stocking which has so decisively split viewer opinions into clear cut groups that either believe it's the best thing that's ever happened since sliced bread, or have banished it to the depths of utter disdain. The question I ask right now and will answer in this review is if one or even both sides are justified.
First thing that one should wonder is what this show was trying to accomplish. I'm not a fan of Gainax, and thus I am not extremely acquainted with their works. However it's pretty apparent that Gainax was trying to do something that would be different. What they have isn't a complicated or redeeming story. Far from it. The two main characters Panty and Stocking are impulsive and obses…

I'm not going to mince words here, gentlemen. This right here is what is commonly referred to as an "orgasm of excellence". This series is so good it'll probably kill you by the time it's done. As in, this thing Gainax has made here can roughly fall under the definition of autoerotic asphyxiation. But that's just a summary of the show's quality as a whole, let's break this shit down:
PREMISE:
To put it plainly, the entire point of this show is to take the illusions otaku have surrounded themselves with for the last 10 years and annihilate them through a wanton, infinite assault of sex and Western style. This show is not Sora ga Otoshimaru Hime Desu Beats! or whatever the hell it is you people watch nowadays. This is about a gun-toting whore and her diabetic goth friend slashing and shoot…
