Panty & Stocking is the irreverent, adult-humor based meta anime show that Velma wishes it was. EDIT: Thanks for all the likes guys! 👍🏽

Reminder: there isn't a current outrage culture. It's just that social media was designed to magnify angry voices so you hear it more often than you used to. Kids these days aren't much different from kids those days. It's just the medium that's changed.

“Panty and stocking is so problematic!!” Half of these people would never say this to South Park 💀 edit: Ty for the likes!!

So glad panty and stocking is getting a new season hopefully it’s just as raunchy

I think this show is the perfect embodiment of the phrase: *"I am cringe... but I am free"*

Fun facts about the Anarchy sisters: -The two of them got banned from heaven for different reasons. Panty had way too much… uh… adult fun time, and Stocking ate way too many sweets (which is also the reason for her large… uh… assets). -As implied above, Stocking really really likes sweet things. She also despises spicy things. Conversely, Panty loves spicy things and hates sweet things. -While Panty’s the one who’s actually out to get the guys, both of the sisters are considered drop-dead gorgeous by pretty much everyone, and even Garterbelt (who is gay) gets nosebleeds looking at them. As for how I know all this, I read it on TVTropes (which is also how I found out about this anime in the first place).

Panty and Stocking was absolutely a show I never knew I needed at the tender age of 15. So raunchy, hilarious, and it was responsible for why my drawings got sharper.

Fun fact, the English voice actors for Panty and Stocking are also the voice actors for Danganronpa the Anime one I mean. Panty has Junko Enoshima's VA and Stocking has Sayaka Maizono's VA. I only found that out because Stocking's VA sounded so familiar to me and I happen to like Sayaka's voice (I particularly like high pitched female voices).

Panty and Stocking is one of those shows where it’s like, “If it’s not for you, walk away.” But the slick animation, fantastic English dub, and stellar soundtrack always keeps me coming back. People complain about it being “problematic,” but us Americans have done worse. Like we literally made South Park, we should be used to it by now. I just feel like people need to learn to have a sense of humor and not take things so seriously. Personally I’m glad it’s getting a reboot soon.

Hot take: Panty and Stocking is the peak of feminist media. I mean, what’s better than having a duo of sisters being a powerful and badass team who care only about each other (and not about their flaws, “unladylike” habits, and other people’s thoughts of them) whilst being unapologetically attractive, sensual, and upfront (again, regardless of their audience in-universe and in real life)? The self-awareness, the boldness, and pure CONFIDENCE when they do whatever the fuck they want is just so awesome. Never tone down this duo, Trigger. As Stocking says (in the sub): “Self control is bad for the soul”

Panty and Stocking walked so Helluva Boss could run. I absolutely loved P&S as a teen and even as an adult. I love the raunchy humor and designs, I even had a slight crush on Stocking. But the ending...I will never forgive that ending

bare in mind the English dub was almost completely different to the Japanese dub. The English version added way more swearing and edgy dialogue/jokes. So to say P&S itself is problematic may not be true, it might just be the English dub specificly. The people who find this kind of thing problematic are like 1% of the population and most of them don't even partake the medium the thing being denounced. For example, most people who complain about video games don't play video games, so pandering to those people is nonsensical because they are all-ready not contributing to the profits of the series.

Panty and Stocking is not the show we deserve. It's the show we need.

Me, who just watched the trailer for the sequel: "Well, I got news for you, buddy..."

When I was 16, I secretly watched this show on my laptop (like a rebellious teen) I had at the time. I didn’t really get a lot of the jokes, but I caught up on them as I got older. I still think that it’s a fun show to watch despite some of its crude humor.

wait till tiktok learns about drawn together, but seriously tiktok throws the word ''problematic'' around so much that i just associate it with little 12 year olds getting offended at anything and trying to cancel things that are literally older than them. Edit: you can ignore this part :D listen there's 100 replies already and eventually i stopped reading em because it started getting into leftism blah blah politics. I will just sum up my thoughts on why i think tiktok seeing P&S fans as bad people is stupid. Just because the shows humor is crude, borderline gross sometimes doesn't mean people who enjoy it are pedos or zoophiles or whatever other nonsense ppl throw out. If i was watching southpark and i laughed at cartman does it mean i'm suddenly a horrible person? Truth is the whole appeal of animation in my opinion is doing what you just can't do IRL, you can make drawn together, you can make P&S, you can make eric cartman dressed up as hitler. If it's not intended to promote or glorify a bad message but that's how you interpret it then you need to loosen up and realize some things are just meant to be crude and for a quick laugh and the shock factor.

I love that this show isn't afraid of being what it's meant to be; it's smut, and it's the good kind of smut. It does not care if you are a tiktoker or a twitter user, it's gonna do what it wants however it wants. It knows its target audience and if you're complaining about it because you're not the target audience, it doesn't give a f*ck.

Saberspark: Panty and Stocking could never be made today. Trigger: Oh Yeah? F*ck you! We're making season 2.

So much for "can NEVER be made today" Studio TRIGGER dropped a trailer for season 2 this week,

Apparently Panty wasnt very popular with the Japanese male audience herself, which at first youd think is ironic given she's almost a complete freebie when it comes to a completely reasonable Sexy Character To Find Hot in a show... but then I think of the sort of girls otaku tend to gush over, and Panty is probably the "wrong" kind of sexy (loud, snarky, greedy but also picky about men) for them.

I feel like it could totally be made today. There's other crass and sexual animations still being made today. The death of cable has been a very interesting development for the world of animation. There's less restrictions now on what you can make.

I don’t get why people can’t just look the other way and let passionate creators make shows with their vision. Your not required to watch the show or agree with it. It’s just content. Your allowed to choose the content you consume. Let fans of the show have what they want. It won’t affect you unless you let it. But unfortunately, cancel culture just doesn’t get that.

This show was like the Conker's Bad Fur Day of Anime, they even fought a giant monster made of crap in the first episode.

I think the thing is, Panty and Stocking was MADE to be one of the most crass and rude animations on the horizon of anime. It touches and shows off so much rude and lewd things that its almost ridiculous how much crazy bs they fit into the entirety of the series. It was like they were aiming to make the most horny and kooky series they could think of.

Fun fact: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt and Powerpuff Girls are in the same universe because in one of the P&A episodes, Panty's worker (or whatever he was) mentioned Blossom and Bubbles to another guy while Panty was focused on other things. Fun fact 2: The girl's design from Me!Me!Me! was inspired by Stocking Anarchy.

I feel like to watch Panty & Stocking you have to keep in mind that these “angels” are the worst people you could meet, just like in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia where we know that the characters are a bunch of psychopaths. Of course they would have “problematic” behaviors, because they’re terrible people (Edit: spelling)

Studio Trigger felt that.

this uhh.. didn't age well?

The art style of _Panty and Stockings_ was inspired by the style of Western animation in 2000s, which what makes the anime looks unique, expressive, and timeless. It's like what happens when Powerpuff Girls were targeted for adult audience.

"could never be made todays" Meanwhile japan:"here a totaly wholesome show called redo of a healer".

Rewatching this after season 2 has been announced is scaring me

This show deserves a reboot, that's all I'm saying.

The finale of Panty & Stocking is widely known as "The day Gainax ruined christmas" since it aired on christmas day.

The fact Drawn Together is the reason this anime exists is insane.

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU PAL

ITS FUCKING TIME FOR SEASON TWOOOOOOOO

You couldn’t make panty and stocking today because people would read the script and be like “wait, this is literally Panty and Stocking, it’s already a show”

I can see why people might find Panty and Stocking offensive. But it's still one of my favorite animes ever. It's kind of like South Park: everyone is on equal footing because everyone is a target for the raunchy humor.

Turns out Trigger wants to prove you wrong

2 months after you posted this trigger released a teaser trailer for season 2 and it looks awesome! Even had a split second showing stocking's ghost form and it's crazy!

What mainly hit me from this show and why I like it so much: It is on 2010ish, powerful and proud women as the main characters of their own story that not mainly involve trauma or romance and on the subject of being "sexually free" was really new and refreshing to me

I totally think panty and stocking could be made today. I feel like the main issue a lot of people talk abt is how it sexualizing women (which it does) but i dont think it does that in a negative light. Its not "women are hot" it is "you can be a women and kill demons and get bitches AND be hot" like when i watched the show for the first time it was super empowering for me atleast :)

I went to Momo-con 2023 this month and I saw so many PASWG cosplayers It warmed my heart to see them not caring about the controversy about the show and just having fun ❤❤❤

Should we tell him?

I actually loved that Panty and Stocking is genuinely unique depending on if it's dub or subbed. VAs on both ends did incredible work but both sides gave thier own distinct feel. It makes it so much more rewatch-able. Also just love the show. It's practically a 9/10 in every way.

This was one of those rare anime’s that translated so damn well to english. It sucks we may never get a season 2 to such an ambitious show. Enjoyed every second of Panty and Stocking’s banter.

Those crybabies are just tryna cancel the show because they can't touch southpark and it makes them so mad. It also just spreads awareness of the show's existance because I never heard of it until now lol.

It's 2024... But let's still keep our hopes up. They said Season 2 might happen, so it MIGHT HAPPEN.

For anyone out there who likes Panty and Stocking, I highly recommend checking out Hiroyuki Imaishi's other works. Dead Leaves, Space Patrol Luluco, and Sex and Violence with Machspeed all have VERY similar vibes and are all underrated. Imaishi was also the director of Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill, Promare, and Cyberpunk Edgerunners (also very over-the-top but a bit more serious than some of his other animations). The dude's an absolute legend and he's largely responsible for that Gainax/Trigger style that so many people seem to love. I also have high hopes for season 2 of P&S. As much as Studio Trigger likes making anime that appeals to the west, they refuse to give in to the puritans. When CDPR initially asked them to remove Rebecca from Edgerunners, they basically told them to piss off. They made nudity a central theme in Kill la Kill. They had a male on male "kissing" scene in Promare because Trigger wanted to show that they'll sexualize both men and women equally.

The English dub of Panty and Stocking is genuinely one of my favorite animes ever because of how funny and over the top it always was and they censored NOTHING. They knew what they were and they owned it 😂

Season 2 has entered the chat

this didn't age very well

I know at the time, I loved the show because I was tired of people pushing the idea of "humor has to be highbrow" for it to be good. I was 15 and tumblr was basically the ruler of online opinion. Everyone was trying so hard to be right they were practically hurting themselves, and I just wanted a fun show I could turn my brain off to for a while. There's nothing wrong with enjoying clever writing, but there's also nothing wrong with dumb mindless fun that SHOULDN'T be taken seriously. PASWG will always have that ridiculous place in my heart ♡

This is exactly the kind of show we need now more than ever. Comedy and satire always pushes boundaries and currently people are so focused on social issues when there are plenty of class issues that need to be addressed. Also the recent successes of Rick and Morty and Inside Job, both irreverent adult animation, kinda show that there really is a market for these things.

LOL SEASON 2 just announced today at anime expo 2023

Watching this after reboot got announced

I absolutely loooooved this show. The character design was on point. It was so uniquely stylized.

While the show was NOT my thing. I have to appreciate that it blows 90% of shows in the edgy adult animation genre out of the water. The animation and humor is a lot more on point, and not nearly as repetitive. It also helps that the series was short, and did not have enough time to get stale. The only other show I'd say beats it out is South Park. (A show which manages to actually do this kind of over the top irreverent humor so well, that even a prude like me can usually enjoy most episodes.)

This aged like milk

this video showed up in my feed after panty and stocking season 2 was announced, sorry saberspark of the past, you doubted trigger studios

When Helluva Boss can flourish, so can Panty and Stocking

Yknow, I really wish more people would make things like this. Like, I’m not saying that there should be more crude and crass type things specifically, but I wish there was more variety with shows, with unique interesting art styles and ideas! Without being afraid of doing something new and different, to go far away from known tropes.

yo went to trigger’s panel at sakura con in washington, we were shown new designs and concept work for the reboot and they’ve started on animation!! respected their no photography/recording request but it was exciting to see none the less!

my only actual serious problem with PASWG is the design of Garterbelt (and some other background characters) but again, nothing a redesign cant fix and i hope they do that for season 2

Imagine you're in the 2010s and shows like P&SwithG and Madoka Magica was your gateway into the magical girl genre. Everything else after just seems like a letdown. P&S in general broke the mold when it came to ideas of typical magical girl shows of things like friendship, women portrayed in that medium, and tasteful humor/ fanservice. It really isn't given as much credit to breaking the mold like PMMM like it deserves.

One thing to mention about how it may or may not offend western sensibilities funimation was purposefully given a wide berth to change comedic lines to get more of a reaction out of people. I got to meet both of the voice actors for panty and stocking at a con, at their panel they talked about how much fun it was working on the new lines and all the dirty humor going back and forth in the recording studio. I can't wait to see this show come back.

I loved this show so hard when it came out, I was already a fan of drawn together, PPG, a massive weaboo and I really felt like this show got me in a way. Panty and stocking felt like my two exrovert/ inravert halves. I was fine with the offensive humour in it because it was never intended to be taken seriously, it's one huge parody. I think offensive humour has a time and place (and not in transphobic netflix specials)

People saying this didn't age well did not watch the full video

The entire show is candy to the eye. The art style is fun and interesting to see. I hope they carry that passion over into the new season

I think, while the fact that people online are more sensitive isn’t bad, part of what made paswg so good was that it pushed the limits of what you could air on tv or online with its jokes. it proved you didn’t have to be mature in your humor to be funny in your media. im very excited for season 2, and while it’ll probably be a bit more toned down in terms of writing, i think with gainax’s recent works it’ll be really amazing.

Does someone wanna tell him the news?

Turns out a trailer came out today for the new one

I always loved this show. I loved how unapologetic it was, it's high energy, the stylization...but mostly I loved that it wasn't trying to be anything other than what it was. This was no clone of anything else. They wanted to bring something new, and by God they did that

people have been calling this show "problematic" for YEARS, so I don't think the "this could never be made today" argument really works lol

Title : Panty & Stocking Could NEVER Be Made Today TRIGGER: Hold my panty & stockings...

This show has literally launched a comeback! I didnt finish the original show myself, and I want to before watching the new series.

It's as controversial as you can get but you know what? It's also a ton of fun! Panty and Stocking is just so unapologetic in how perverted, gross, and juvenile it is that it goes around to being great! It's basically Studio Gainax going "Fuck it!" and just doing what they want not caring what people say about it. And y'know what else? We need more shows like this! Shows made with passion that just do whatever they want!

Fun Fact: Cartoon Network actually referenced this show once in a cartoon! In an episode of MAD a teenager appears listening to a song on the radio, and the song is a remix of the demon sister's transformation theme. Edit: alright gang, sorry but there's a chance that it's not actually a reference and instead just a weird coincidence.

Four months after this video was released it was announced that Trigger is working on a new season that looks just as wild as the original show. So much for, "Can't be made today."

Trigger just announced they bought the rights and a new season is on the way.

Saber: "I use the internet all the time." Also Saber: "ALRIGHT SEMEN! GET OFF!"

I remember when this series dropped. I was in high school at the time and me and my classmates ate it up. It definitely vibed with our tastes since a lot of us were both anime fans as well as fans of crass American animation like South Park and Family Guy. We were basically the target audience

Looks like we were wrong

14:13 Hold It!

Panty and Stocking is one of those shows you think is Family Friendly but really isn't once you watch it like I can imagine a family member with their family and is like " Oh this looks nice. " and their children gets exposed to it all.

PSG is still one of my favorite shows! I was obsessed with its art, humor, music, and general style when it came out and it really had an effect on my sense of humor. I'm really looking forward to the next season!

Hate to break it, love! But there’s a season two coming out! Crunchyroll has announced it too!

Season 2: hey~

I think there's definitely still an audience for shows like this. Off-the-wall, crazy humor and plotlines are pervasive in all kinds of Western media. Everything from Regular Show to Adventure Time to Helluva Boss to Harley Quinn has a level of crazy, unexpected plot lines and confusion. Beyond that, it's not like crassness can't exist in 2023 either. I mean, if Family Guy can succeed, why not Panty and Stocking?

I can only hope that if the second season comes out it directly makes fun of the Twitter freaks

It's crazy that a new Panty And Stocking is being made now

Stocking Anarchy, She wasn't demon lady from the Abyss, And for all we could know, She was actually under mind spell or Mind control from the demons from the Abyss.

The original ending is hilariously genius, just because it came entirely out of the blue, and even the animated cast was left speechless(sans Garter, somebody had to deliver the final line haha). Gainax was making fun of themselves, they have an alleged reputation that their endings rarely make sense (which of course was a byproduct of the rushed final episodes of Eva), so it was like them making a troll ending that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. My favorite detail is the demon sisters being in some corner of the background with a "what the hell just happened" expression 🤣🤣🤣.

After 12 years, back in July at AnimeExpo, Studio Trigger confirmed that we were FINALLY getting... something. With this show. Not outright confirmed to be a second season, but heavily implied. We haven't heard anything since, but at least fans now know it actually is coming at some point.

who's gonna tell em

*Reads title* Me: WRONG

Panty and Stocking was inspired by the Gainax crew( drunk off their asses) watching Drawn Together! Their chosen Dexter's Lab/ PPG/ Invader Zim art style was a love letter to US for the amount of inspiration given to Imaishi and his crew! I'm glad his team shared they were moving forward on P&S ( while leaving Gainax) as a future project! Love the team, love the anime!

The fact that it is so controversial is the reason why we NEED more of it in this day and age.

"Panty and Stocking could never be made today!" *5 months later...*
