Bragas y medias con liguero

This is one of my first modern Anime I ever watched; it looks like a stylized version of 2 Broke Girls but with a lot of fantasy elements UwU.

Love the 2d/3d effect on the show but the show itself has dozens of adult jokes that not many people like it so it gets a 7 for me its a 9

In many ways, this show gets a completely unfair rap from people that had been expecting something entirely different. When one conjures up images of anime comedy, one tends to think of a moe-blob and her misadventures in high school - something the creators of Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt have obviously had just about enough of.

In that respect, they're not alone. This is a show that is truly in sync with true veteran anime fans for its self-referential comedy, its blunt and honest lambasting of ludicrous anime norms and expectations, and its innovative art style.

Do yourself a favor - if you're into anime, have been growing a little bit bored with the endlessly repeated formulae that have been plaguing the genre and you don't mind being occasionally shocked or disgusted, this brilliantly animated and laugh-out-loud show will quickly become one of your favorites.

Easily the sleeper hit of 2010.

This anime is a challenge to the senses, containing both disgusting and sublime imagery, and a synth-heavy pop dance soundtrack that will get you grooving despite yourself.

The sensual transformation sequences and suggestive subject matter make it ideally suited for the 13-year old hormonal boy in all of us, and its nearly blasphemous depiction of angels and religious figures makes us feel a bit guilty for taking such pleasure in its racy, uninhibited nature.

But to look at the surface would be to miss the core of what the show is really about. Instead of a solely sexual mind-trip, this anime takes traditional Japanese values and turns them on their head.

The clues to this revelation are in the lyrics of the music the angels sing, and in the rivals they face.

Anarchy seems to be the trait that the heavenly duo seem to endear, with an unabashed indulgence of their sexual and physical desires. Meanwhile, their demonic counterparts are all about rigid order. (Their costumes are often based upon the uniforms of the 3rd Reich).

Traditional Japanese society tells people "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" while this anime says, "be yourself, and screw the consequences" - it is making an appeal to the youth of Japan to grasp for freedom despite the consequences, reminding me of the kind of things that led to the cultural revolutions of the 60s in the US.

Look deeper and you will see even more.

And even if you don't want to be bothered with deep messages and subplots, you can unplug your brain and enjoy the random sexy adventures of two crazy angels having a good time.

I speak both English and Japanese but the English dub of Panty and Stocking is one of the best dubs that Funimation has made. Jamie Marchi's crass screenplay not only provides raunchy material but made the anime more true to what Gainax wanted. Jamie Marchi, Monica Rial, Christopher Sabat, Christopher Ayres, Joel McDonald, Ian Sinclair, Cherami Leigh and Colleen Clinkenbeard have provided their best voice work in that anime. It's basically if Deadpool had an anime made after him.
