Gainax has unveiled its latest anime “Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt,” from the staff responsible for Gurren Lagann, but the character designs and subsequent reaction are perhaps not what was anticipated…
2ch’s response:
“This is a 360 degree turnabout from Lagann, isn’t it?”
“My hopes were high for something from the Gurren staff, but the Power Puff Girls styling is a bit…”
“Why this style? Are they making fun of sexy lingerie?”
“Ah, looks awful.”
“An anime with these visuals won’t sell.”
“What’s up with this Power Puff Girls doujin anime?”

I'm really interested by the unusual art style. Experimentation is good.
OHMAHGAWD, IT'S NOT SUM RANDOM MOÉ SHIT, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RELEASE MY FRUSTRATED SEXUAL TENSION WITH THIS, GAINAX?!?! JUST TELL ME, HOW!!!
Idiots... it looks like it can be loads of fun, like Ebichu.
99% of 2ch have no taste except for the same shit they've seen a million times.
The art looks like it's taken from Bleedman...
Dismissing it just because it's going to use a different style is very discriminating.
This is why some people who do it for the art/for the sake of doing it find these kinds of discrimination very frustrating. It's like they are being told "You're not allowed to do this and that!" when they are trying to be creative.
I doubt this show can top the questionable stuff the Powerpuff Girls, considering it's a children show(it is, isn't it?), pull off in every episode of their show.
Japanese Directors and Animators if you notice in some of them do watch American Cartoons as well.
Knowing Gainax though almost all the favorite characters will leave or die.
American design... another way to destroy other culture.
FUCKING GRINGOS GET THE FUCK OUT OF JAPAN!
^ De acuerdo.
LOL seriously???
what a weaboo
"non-japanese = bad!!"
lol i laugh at you
Generic anime designs are considered culture?
It looks good. Fuck yeah, Gainax!
Lol GL fanboys are crying themselves to sleep.
What?
I love Gurren Lagann to death and am quite looking forward to this, so... ?
So Powerpuff + Dirty Pair = Panty & Stocking?
That would be... AWESOME...
I wanted something extremely epic and inspiring...
And got powerpuff girls instead.
Despair~!
I can't fap to it, I can't fuck yeah to it, I can't daw to it.
Shit is useless.
You weren't all expecting something normal from Gainax, were you?
As a fan of Power Puff Girls, this acually seems interesting. Stocking looks better to me thru.
looks awesome
who said Powerpuff Girls sucked?
now the anime version, we can call shitty
which is odd, since I like anime more than western
are you all stupid?!
These girls are very kinetic and nice! You´ll see for yourself that this WILL sell.
Plus it´s GAINAX orginal product so it will be explosive.
it look like one of the cartoon network anime wannabes, but hey, its their fault for something something called panty and stocking seriously.
in the other hand maybe it will have those designs for a super awesome animation...nah, too optimistic, maybe it will be a good gag anime.
You know, it's not just about the visuals. I am actually excited for a new Gainax title.
Everything is so generic now; I will give this a chance.
dont like the drawings XD....i hope is at least funny cos i rly like gainax
Art style reminds me a bit of Dead Leaves, which is always a good thing.
I can't wait until I see what they do with this. With such a saturated fan base that is full of people limiting creative freedom, it's no wonder the industry has been on a decline. This already looks better than almost all the generic-mass-produced anime that's been plaguing the industry for awhile now(on the basis of looking like a breath of fresh air alone). If the industry embraces these types of new artistic directions, the trend will certainly weed out all of the current generation of fans that are adamant about keeping everything the same way. Kudos to Gainax for always having balls to experiment with creativity.
I hate the powerpuff girl style! We prefer anime for a reason!
powerpuff girls is an anime...
Who is this "we"? I'm sick of anime designs that are designed for the sake of looking like "anime". Go watch thousands of other "anime" looking titles that's already in the market and will continue to come out as a dime of dozen if you really need your JAPANIMATION fix.
The names are sort of groan-inducing, but I'm actually sort of interested in the style. It definitely has a kind of PPG-vibe that doesn't do much for me, but perhaps Gainax can swing it in their favor? I'll keep an eye on it.
I think it looks better than the typical anime style we usually see.
It's cute, really. But it looks like any other cartoon made in the U.S. Please, Gainax, don't let your artists degrade themselves so!
Spoilers: Anime is japanese CARTOONS
:3
Some people here are too dumb to get that hint by themselfes. Pathetic.
well, you guys don't understand very well...this is called PUNK and it says: FUCK THE SYSTEM.
I think letting artist do what they want to do makes them create something individual...
this is going to be more like DEAD LEAVES than Power Puff girls but I know that some of the Gainax staff are Power Puff girls fans.
I like the style, personally... it makes me think it'll be a quirky show.
“This is a 360 degree turnabout from Lagann, isn’t it?”
More like the continuation...
Visual curve balls are always guaranteed to garner attention. Remember Zelda: Wind Waker? I hope this turns out good for Gainax just the same. I'm actually really looking forward to seeing this. My inquisitive mind is going crazy trying to think of what they're going to show us. I totally can't wait!
Judging it poorly because the style is cartoony? Way to fuel the cliche recycled bullshit that's plaguing the industry already. I enjoyed Gurren Lagann, but why would I want another show just like it? Good shows aren't made by sticking to what sells.
you sir or ma'am are awesome and I support your opinion 100%
Im willing to bet it going to be as violent as GOW. These guys made Gurren and before that "DEAD LEAVES" remember that. if not look it up cause it was bloody.
I love the way they said that "This is a 360 turnabout", and as such, Gainax would in fact be facing the same way as before.
Ah, mathmatical failures.
Idiot, turning 360 degrees is a well known 4chan meme.
Wy is it called a x-box 360? Because when you see it you turn 360 degrees and walk away.
Only trolls fall for the jooke.
THE GAME
Idiot, the quote was from 2channel not 4chan.
Obvious newfag is obvious.
I really like the style. This is now on my radar.
This looks like it's going to be fun. I can't wait =D
This better Be Awesome...
Oh boo hoo everything isn't drawn exactly like every other show you watch. Grow the fuck up.
