Title: Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt

Director: Hiroyuki Imaishi (Gurren Lagann's director)

Character Designer: Atsushi Nishigori (Gurren Lagann's character designer)

Chief Animator: Yoh Yoshinari (Gurren Lagann's mecha designer and key animator for Gurren Lagann episode 1 and 27)


The story is about 2 angels named Panty & Stocking who are sent to Earth to deal with ghosts.


So far, only Stocking's VA is confirmed as Yukari Fukui (Nia in Gurren Lagann).


Oh my good sweet dear lord, it's GAINAX meets Bleedman...! Good god, Japan has actually made what appears to be the Worst Thing Ever! Pretty sure this thing is gonna summon Satan himself upon its debut.

Damnation, the premise sounds retarded and the art looks like the same style as that horrid Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi show. We have one image and two sentences worth of info and this already looks disturbingly bad. It is from GAINAX, though, so prepare to have every in-crowd anime fan on the internet calling it the best thing since samurais and tentacle rape once in hits.

WHAT THE FUCK! Who thought this shit would be a good idea? I didn't think it was possible, but now I hate those Gainax-retards even more!

QUOTE
The story centers around a teen-celebrity-like blond-haired girl named Panty and a black-haired Goth Loli girl named Stocking. The two are angels sent from the heavens to battle the "Ghosts" on Earth.

Fucking hell, it's "Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan" as produced by GAINAX with Bleedman as director! GodJesus help us all...

I think they're trying to go for that goofy parody vibe, but you know it will fail (I bet you could make a drinking game with the number of unnecessary panty shots there will be). Kind of like how Totally Spies! tried for a Charlie's Angels angle and failed.

After delivering us Gurren Lagann I thought there may be a chance GAYNADS was getting better. Apparently they were gearing up to release another production that makes me ashamed to admit I watch anime. Thanks a lot GAYNADS...

This series confirms that my decision to swear off anything GAINAX made beyond Nadia was the right decision.

I just can't wait until these two ADVENT. I wonder what wacky ADVENTs they will have. I wonder if Children will be involved...

Nothing about that show indicates to me that it's any better than GAINAX's usual fanservice-laden, awkward children-riddled, mindfuck ending-stained shitfests. I don't care how many shirtless guys with goofy shades ramble on about manliness.

Well, in it's defense, the awkward child does grow out of it, and the ending isn't nearly as depressing or as confusing as Evangelion, but there is plenty of fanservice and I just got the impression while watching it that you wouldn't like it.

Well, the first half of Gurren Lagann is good. I'm not a huge fan of the post-timeskip episodes, besides the final battle.

That anime always looked kinda dumb to me. What little I've seen of it reminded me of Fooly Cooly.

Unless it's a comedy, I could go on with how stupid the very idea of throwing galaxies is, from both a physical and storytelling standpoint. Even Dragonball never got that ridiculous.

I think we're getting a little off track from the prepubescent fanservice girls with pantie-shaped guns.

I don't know what else to tell you, other than that we clearly have very different tastes.

I'll admit though that this new series does look pretty stupid. Who the hell names their characters after undergarments?
Other than Akira Toriyama, of course.

Akira Toriyama.
Gamer-e
Fuck, beat me to it. Yeah, just look at Bulma's family. Hell, every significant character in the Dragon Ball's universe's name is a pun and some of the characters themselves are parodies of other things, like General Blue (pretty much a gay Aryan) or the Ginyu Force (sentai).

If you are looking for seriousness in Gurren Lagann you are fucking crazy. The anime was about a boy who uses a robot that is seemingly powered by imagination and will. These physics defying robots go into the world of absurd and then some. The anime consistently produced a you can do it theme, and was a blast to watch.

As for bitching about fanservice for fucksake you liked Code Geass. Let me state Geass was one of the best animes I have ever seen. That being said the stupid fanservice moments if I counted them all fucking rival Gurren Lagann if not surpass it. Fanservice and anime go hand and hand. Its more so your willingness to overlook it.

Also I think Shmeckie would purely hate it because he wants to. Not because of any fault of the anime's what so ever.
Gamer-e
I was gonna bring it up, but Shmeckie has complained about the fanservice in Code Geass multiple times and I can tell just by looking at that other show that Code Geass is completely different from it.

As for the physics defying robots... That can be said for pretty much any mech anime.

Now tell me, how much does this show resemble Fooly Cooly? Like I was just saying, what little I saw of it reminded me a lot of FLCL.
Arc Baltic
I don't remember flcl at all so I'd be a bad person to ask.

Well, the director of Gurren Lagann did animation for FLCL episode 5.

I haven't watched much of FLCL myself, so I can't say how similar they are.

Gurren Lagann has a plot.

Bullshit, that series tries to put forward a straight-up plot. Even I know that. This ain't Excel Saga, here. From where I'm sitting, it just looks like the otaku studio's attempt at trying to be cool.

Unless you're doing a straight goofy comedy series, throwing galaxies is fucking stupid.

First of all, no they don't. Unless you can find me all the fanservice found in Shin Chan, for instance. Second of all, I've stated many times how ridiculous the fanservice in Geass is. Third, GAINAX is ridiculous and creepy with their fanservice, as those men have not been laid in their lives.

Actually, this comparison fails, because MS3TK is purely a comedy show. You can't use "it's just fiction" as an excuse to write whatever insane bullshit you want, especially if it is completely retarded.

THANK you.

There is a thread for Gurren Lagann already, y'know.

Lookie, they've released a trailer for this shit!

After seeing the promotional image and reading the story I knew it was going to be horrible, but damn, this could very well turn out to be the worst anime ever made. Fuck you, GAINAX.

And you know what the most mind-boggling thing about all this is? Some people actually like this. I mean... fucking hell!

You left out the moaning (or is it one repetitive moan being played over and over again).

The art style almost looks like a parody of all the American cartoons that try to look like anime. As a matter of fact, I'd say this series might actually BE a parody of American cartoons.

Not a terrible concept, honestly, but the execution looks pretty awful. All I got from that trailer was LOL ZANY WACKY CRAZY STUFF HAPPENING SO FAST ZOMFG NO WAAAAAAY!!! If the series itself is anything like that, then I'll be avoiding this as if watching it gave people cancer.

The trailer feels like they're shoving way too much at you at one time. Not to mention I couldn't help thinking, "those hacks ripped-off Gir."

So the first episode is out and subbed. It's... not what I expected. I'm not sure what it is just yet but it's certainly not what I expected.
