With its 10th birthday finally here, let's remember what made Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt such an instant classic to begin with.
10 years ago, the legendary studio Gainax premiered its last genuine hit. This anime would immediately stand out against the myriad of other anime coming out in time in both its looks and its humor, and the team behind it would soon go on to form their own studio, TRIGGER. The show we're talking about, of course, is Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt .
The anime follows angel sisters Panty and Stocking, who were cast down from Heaven for bad behavior and poor performance. Panty is a promiscuous but confident woman obsessed with finding her next hunk of man-meat to have a good time with, while Stocking is a cold morbid goth girl who only cares about her stuffed animals and stuffing her face with sugar and sweets. The two are now forced to work alongside Reverend Garterbelt to catch enough ghosts who feed on human desire so they can one day return to Heaven.
The show is packed with references to Western cartoons. The Comedy Central show Drawn Together is often cited as the source for the series's crude humor and foul language, but it goes much deeper than that. The anime's use of sharp thick outlines, distinctive silhouettes and large round eyes are reminiscent of Cartoon Network shows from the '90s and 2000s, most notably The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory . The design and role of the mascot character Chuck also bear a striking resemblance to Gir in his dog suit of the cult classic Nicktoon Invader Zim . Properties like Ren and Stimpy and the fictional indie band The Gorillaz receive homages, and each episode of the show is divided into two 11-minute mini-episodes like a Western TV cartoon.
Any given segment could be about absolutely anything, from Stocking trying to lose weight to a zombie apocalypse to an episode dedicated to nose-picking. "Nothing to Room" stands as one of the show's best episodes, carried entirely by Panty and Stocking's dialogue. This bottle episode has the angels waiting all day in the living room for a special lunch prepared by Garterbelt, as the two get into conversations about their most recent club night, returning to Heaven, and reality TV. "Sex and Daten City" is also a favorite, with the aforementioned angels becoming celebrities but needing to go delete every copy of Panty's most recent sex tape before their first feature film screening. Each episode is roughly self-contained until the latter half of the series. "Les Diaboliques," the start of the show's loose ongoing plot, is a particular standout on the action animation front, with the high octane fight between Panty and Stocking and the demon sisters Scanty and Kneesocks.
The show is also infamous for its troll-y ending. After the credits roll in the finale, Panty, Stocking, Brief and Garterbelt all return to the chapel, only for Stocking to attack Panty out of nowhere with her sword, slicing her into bite-sized pieces. Stocking reveals she's actually a demon. Afterward, Corset reemerges, and he and Stocking leave the perverse men in complete disbelief of what just happened. This massive cliffhanger never got resolved, as the series received poor ratings in Japan and the crew behind it moved on to form TRIGGER only a few years later. During a Reddit AMA , when series writer Hiromi Wakabayashi was asked if he'd ever make a second season of PSG , he said he and other staff members would love to, but because it's still owned by Gainax, it would be very difficult.
Still, as troll-y and out of nowhere the ending to PSG is, it's so in line with such an off-the-wall and chaotic series. It's a shame such a one-of-a-kind anime never got its second season, but despite it, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is still remembered today as one of the all-time best anime of the 2010s, which echoes of its style appearing in other TRIGGER anime like Kill la Kill and Promare .

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt ( Japanese : パンティ＆ストッキングwithガーターベルト , Hepburn : Panti ando Sutokkingu wizu Gātāberuto ) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Gainax , as well as a series of tie-in media developed around it. The series ran from October to December 2010 on BS Nittele (a free-to-air satellite service of Nippon Television ). In English-speaking areas, the series has been licensed by Funimation (now Crunchyroll ) for distribution in North America, and Manga Entertainment for the United Kingdom.

The show revolves around the exploits of the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, angels who were kicked out of Heaven due to their bad behavior. They are sent to Daten City—a pun on the Japanese word datenshi ( 堕天使 , lit. "fallen angel") —a place on the border between Heaven and Hell, which is besieged by evil spirits referred to as "Ghosts". The sisters take refuge under the care of the reverend Garterbelt; under his watchful eyes, the sisters are tasked with using their ability to transform their lingerie into weapons, and using them to destroy malicious Ghosts. By doing so, the sisters earn "Heaven Coins" with which they intend to one day buy their way back into Heaven. However, Panty and Stocking are constantly sidetracked by their respective interests in men and sugary sweets.

Following the broadcast of Imaishi's previous project, Gurren Lagann , the show's staff went on a trip for rest and relaxation. At that time, they aired their opinions to each other under drunken and humorous circumstances, saying such things as "Next time, I want to try this" in approaches to animation. Almost all of the concepts for the anime were made during the initial trip; the names of main characters, "Panty" and "Stocking", were coined at the very first meeting. [2] Hiromi Wakabayashi, who provided the initial idea for the series, cited American adult animation , such as Drawn Together , as inspiration for the show's crudeness. [3]

The television series was animated by Gainax and directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi . The series' animation is done in a distinct style resembling and paying homage to American cartoons, along with the Yoshinori Kanada techniques normally associated with Hiroyuki Imaishi's work. The series has many sexual themes in every episode. The theme of the anime is "vulgar and indecent jokes", with Imaishi saying, "If we are going to do this, we will try it thoroughly." [2]

The series ran from October 1 to December 24, 2010 on BS Nittele, a free-to-air satellite service of Nippon Television . [6] It was also shown on AT-X seven days after the premiere of each episode, and made available online on Nico Nico Channel (a service of Niconico ) through the series's own channel a day after AT-X broadcast. On terrestrial television, it was syndicated in eight markets, including a few JAITS members like Tokyo MX , and TVQ , a TXN affiliate in Kyushu . Internationally, the series was made available online on Crunchyroll . [7]

The series was released in six DVD and BD volumes respectively over the course of six months, with the first DVD/BD volume released on December 24, 2010, [8] followed by succeeding volumes near the end of each following month. The fifth volume, released on April 28, 2011, includes a disc-exclusive episode ( OVA ) compiling eight short stories, some of which are sequels/conclusions to earlier episodes of the series.

On April 14, 2011, North American anime distributor Funimation Entertainment announced their license to the series, which was released on DVD on July 10, 2012. [9] The Blu-ray was released January 15, 2013. [10] The English dub is directed by Colleen Clinkenbeard , with John Burgmeier acting as head writer and Jamie Marchi , Leah Clark , and Jared Hedges serving as episode writers. [11] The first two episodes were made available for streaming on May 22, 2012 for those subscribed to Funimation's Elite Video Subscription service. [12]

Manga Entertainment released the series in the United Kingdom on July 30, 2012, [13] although upon release, faults were discovered on some of the episodes. [14] A corrected version was released on September 10, 2012. [15]

On November 25, 2016, the official Twitter account for Gainax West posted an announcement teaser image featuring silhouettes of Panty and Stocking with the words "Comming [ sic ] Soon". An announcement for "something new with Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt " was to be made on December 16, 2016, which Gainax West stated would not be a pachinko , pachislot , social network game or Blu-ray. [16] [17] On December 16, 2016, various Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt projects were announced. [18]

A new project based on the series was announced by Studio Trigger at Anime Expo 2022. [19]

A manga adaptation of the series by Tagro was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten 's Young Ace magazine between August 2010 and June 2011. [20] The series was compiled in a single tankōbon volume, released in Japan on June 4, 2011, and was published in English by Dark Horse Comics on May 28, 2015. [21] Another manga illustrated by Hiroyuki Imaishi was serialised in NewType before moving to Monthly Anime Style magazine. Some strips were included in the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Datencity Paparazzi art book, released on June 4, 2011, but the series has not been published in tankōbon format. [22]

The series' musical score is by TCY Force produced by Taku Takahashi (of M-Flo ). The opening theme is "Theme for Panty & Stocking", performed by Hoshina Anniversary. The ending theme is "Fallen Angel", performed by Mitsunori Ikeda and featuring Aimee B. The original soundtrack was released on December 29, 2010. [23] [24] A hidden track is on the CD. The special edition of the volume 4 BD/DVD includes a bonus CD containing television edits of certain songs from the official soundtrack, as well as previously unreleased songs.

A second album, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt THE WORST ALBUM , was released on 20 July 2011 and features 24 tracks, including remixes of previous songs from the original anime soundtrack, some new songs, as well as "Cherry Corrida" drama tracks.

In 2011, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt was part of the Jury Selections of the 15th Japan Media Arts Festival in the Animation category. [25] In 2019, Polygon named Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt as one of the best anime of the 2010s, stating that it "delivered raunchy, stupid humor in a great animation style", [26] and Crunchyroll listed it in their "Top 100 best anime of the 2010s". [27] IGN also listed Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt among the best anime series of the 2010s, describing it as "an irreverent, entertaining joy-ride with dozens of tributes to western cartoons and a bangin' soundtrack". [28]

Panty & Stocking received a polarized reaction from critics. Carl Kimlinger of Anime News Network found the show to be "unremittingly revolting" and "generally not funny". [29] Anime News Network ' s individual episode reviews were equally critical, accusing the series more than once of having a style-over-substance approach and generally flawed, tasteless and needlessly disturbing comedy in spite of its impressive production values.
