Gainax’s upcoming Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, looking to be something of an ecchified anime take on Power Puff Girls, has received an intriguing preview, visible below, along with firm airdates.
As previously discussed, it would appear some quite mature content is making its way into the series, which appears to be supported by the content and style of the preview.
Interesting. Unlike other people I won't judge it by the art. I'll at least watch it. But it's certain succeeded in catching attention, like a panchira of a girl wearing neon pink pantsu.
I was getting a little tired of your everyday anime. This will be a very refreshing break from it all... Either that, or it'll make me feel like I'm watching Cartoon Network. But I hope for the former. I loved Eva and Hanamaru youchien, so I believe in Gainax. But man, that trailer is strangely addicting to watch.
Like everyone else I'm on the "wait and see" side, but here's hope this show makes Gainax relevant as a creative entity again. Oh and it being a commercial hit wouldn't hurt either.
The animation style it definitely western, and there is only so much that can be implied given the artistic style of the animation, regardless of how "mature" the content may actually be.
imo - only the desperate of virgins would fap to any of those two.
The series will probably run for a season and then crash & burn. As it gets lost among the other cheesy western animation endeavours. If anything it will only cater to the under age action figures and other commercialized marketing schemes. Though its rather doubtful that it will catch on with any of the otaku, regardless of where the otaku reside (Japan or outside of Japan).
Reminds me of Invader Zim for some reason. Must be that mascot thing. The feel of the trailer makes me think of Nickelodian cartoons back in the 90s, with some typical anime pervertedness added in.
it's about time somebody parodied shitty modern day western cartoons. thick outlines on characters, badly proportioned characters, and scatological humor are traits of what americans enjoy in their cartoons.
Rike- "Hokay we shruck muhney now... Lets shree... Too much Nadia an Eva stuff... Dumb consumer rike "Sudo Rehtlo" rike Super Lobot Muhnkey Team and Samurai Jack...? Hokay, we make super Letro Rike thing tu Shruck money Flom dumb Consumer..."
But aside from my offensive "EngRish" rant, I'm hoping it'll be worth watching.
Obviously, they are combining Go Niagi stuff with Junko Mizuno and using Power Puff Girls and other American styled "NeoRetro" stuff ala Chris Riccardi. And it's publish or perish and they got to pay their salaries, so I actually wish them well!
I'm just hoping they get a good writer and let him LOOSE not just force "Sludge" that might be "Shocking but socially acceptable and non offensive shocking"...
Of note, did the person who did "Dead Leaves" have a hand in it? I could swear I saw elements of that art style that aren't imitated.
Ugg.. horrible from the preview.. aweful.. Looks like the horrible adult cartoons on adult swim that are so stupid. Sad to see Gainax falling to such lows.
Hey now, Venture Bros looks like this and is on Adult Swim and that show is awesome. Far better than a lot of the crap Cartoon Network plays these days.
It's manic, colorful and looks to be completely juvenile, a sort of grown-up Cartoon Network-ish type dealie that got punched in the face by Dead Leaves and raped by the Powerpuff Girls.
gainax is awesome...stop the hating! eva, FLCL, Abenobashi, Cutie Honey, Gunbuster, HIMM, if anything they get more attention for doing the thing no one else though to do, some of it is original, some of it is...ehhh...but its gainax! love it or hate it! I love it!
the funny thing is, we call it american, but where did this art style inspire from? japan. so it's all backtwisterwardsfuck filtered from japan to america to japan again and will probably be quite enjoyable
Shit looks fucking awesome, i guess since this site's userbase mostly consists of fans of whatever the latest moe trash is wouldn't like something that has any sense of fun or originality.
Preview reminded me of dead leaves and that's a really fucking good thing, dead leaves was fantastic.
And shit yeah taku from mflo on the soundtrack, again i doubt anyone here cares since you're all too busy listening to seiyuu trash.
Well, that was stupid. I mean, the art style alone was enough to put me off. It's such a shame to think that people are gonna watch this just because it's Gainax.
I'm not normally into Gainax shows or over-the-top ecchi or toilet jokes like this. I don't hate them, they're just not my thing.
But it's actually ONLY because of the art that I'll give this a chance. The style's probably a play on western media, but I actually find that more intriguing than off-putting. Different strokes and all that jazz.
the point of a preview is to give you an idea of whether a show is worth watching or not. Not everyone is a tool who will waste their time watching every fucking series regardless of whether it looks like shit.
While it may give you an idea, it's not always a good representation of the show's worth. And why would you watch every fucking series? Read goddamn reviews first.
Looks more like that Puffi Amiyumi or w/e the crap it was called than Powerpuff Girls. Also the most annoying promo I've seen in a while. I'll probably still watch at least the first episode, but my hopes are not up.
.....I think I'll watch the first episode first before coming to any conclusions -_-
GIR?
Wow, this takes me back to the times where I used to watch more western cartoons than anime...
there dog looks like GIR
Interesting. Unlike other people I won't judge it by the art. I'll at least watch it. But it's certain succeeded in catching attention, like a panchira of a girl wearing neon pink pantsu.
This looks like Dead Leaves, which was awesome, but this anime will automatically fail because it has a nigger.
......What did those bastards put in my coffee?!

It's a Japanese animation whose art style is influenced by an American cartoon that was itself influenced by Japanese anime art style.
That is a beautiful thing.
Oh man, I LOVE the powerpuff girls!
GAINAX always does good things, but this series failed for me, especially the style. Don't care about other opinions.
the series will start off like western cartoon
but,
it's the prologue, the animation will be change to our beloved style and the real story will start
I think that's the most weeaboo thing in the entire thread, and that's saying a lot.
my bday yay!
Bern? Rika?
Fucking seconded Bern. Is rifyu now a Gainax artist?
can't unsee.
Like everyone else I'm on the "wait and see" side, but here's hope this show makes Gainax relevant as a creative entity again. Oh and it being a commercial hit wouldn't hurt either.
yay for musical orgams :D
looks like fail to me.

It looks weak.
0.0
It looks american made, rather than japanese.
Reminds me of Invader Zim for some reason. Must be that mascot thing. The feel of the trailer makes me think of Nickelodian cartoons back in the 90s, with some typical anime pervertedness added in.
wtf , this is "Samba" music from Brazil , they just mixed and put there, what a lack of originality
I'm sorry you didn't get to see a whole new genre of music created there.I'm sure you can do way better anon.
It's Japan, they never have original thoughts.
it's about time somebody parodied shitty modern day western cartoons. thick outlines on characters, badly proportioned characters, and scatological humor are traits of what americans enjoy in their cartoons.
Yeah, those Western cartoons are so absurd.
Ima go watch my bug-eyed pink-haired girl animu now.
my god despite the idea it's effen genius!
wow, it's.... so... webisode quality
I can't believe I'll actually watch this. I thought I had better taste.
Sucks ass and balls at the same time
Hmmm....
Skeptical as much as interested...
Rike- "Hokay we shruck muhney now... Lets shree... Too much Nadia an Eva stuff... Dumb consumer rike "Sudo Rehtlo" rike Super Lobot Muhnkey Team and Samurai Jack...? Hokay, we make super Letro Rike thing tu Shruck money Flom dumb Consumer..."

venture bros looks nothing like this. o_o
Looks like anime targeted to west.
o_o
It's the lovechild of PPG and Dead Leaves!
It doesn't look very funny.
I remember when Gainax use to cater anime towards otaku back in the 80s with sci fi.
Now Gainax is just desparately grasping at straws with their concepts now.
lol, I can't wait to see it =D
it actually caught my interest, even with the art, got to give it a go.
Looks fun! I totally want to watch!
Well, let's see:
It's manic, colorful and looks to be completely juvenile, a sort of grown-up Cartoon Network-ish type dealie that got punched in the face by Dead Leaves and raped by the Powerpuff Girls.
...I ken diggit.
Fuck yeah, Imaishi is directing it. I love the guy's work.
gainax is awesome...stop the hating! eva, FLCL, Abenobashi, Cutie Honey, Gunbuster, HIMM, if anything they get more attention for doing the thing no one else though to do, some of it is original, some of it is...ehhh...but its gainax! love it or hate it! I love it!
that green dog thing reminds me of that freaky robot ("ger" was it? i forgot) in invader zim lol
I think I'm going to laugh through the entire first episode. At least I did through the preview.
lol i think i'd like to see hentai works of this XD
That last picture from Newtype, the best part is the left side of the page-- "Panty is CRAZY about SEX!"
Just think of this like Dead Leaves.
It's just a style. Big deal.
This isn't anime... THIS IS A CARTOON!!!
What's the lead in program? Spongebob? I Carly?! Bwaahahah
The Powerpuff Girls' show was not originally intended for children.
Have fun with that thought.
A mix between cutey Honey and Powerpuff :D But looks cool
Somehow felt like some american cartoon got Japanese dubbed... xD
funny enough that seems to be the new look transformers animated was the same way (ironic since it was acctually the other way round)
This looks Horrible. One of the reason I watch anime is to see attractively drawn characters that are stylish. This is cartoon network crap.
If this is the reaction we get to something that's actually different, we're never going to get out of the "shitty, cookie-cutter anime" cycle.
90% SURE THATS GONNA FAIL!
It looks like one of their assignments is to go undercover in a high school to catch "The Bodice Ripper".
Also, there seems to be a Ghostbusters cameo.
The 'Ghostbuster' seems to be the guy called Brief.
why gainax why
the funny thing is, we call it american, but where did this art style inspire from? japan. so it's all backtwisterwardsfuck filtered from japan to america to japan again and will probably be quite enjoyable
when japan does an adaptation of something american it usually ends up pretty good
I love it.
it it no an anime
I'm suprised you idiots are drooling all over this. The same idiots who watch K-on and all that moe shit instead of real anime.
...Gainax really does produce odd shows.
I have no clue how that preview pulled it off but color me interested.
So the mushrooms in Japan are ripe, I see.
I guess I'll go get some to better understand creators' ideas when this stuff comes out.
I don't really know what to think of this... at least they're trying something different..?
This is madness!
This looks so fucking stupid.
Powerpuff girls? It looks like something from Studio 4°C. Search for Global Astroliner on Youtube.
Oh man that looks awesome.
Don't care much for the animation style. I'll at least try it out, but it doesn't look good.
Oh boy the guys who brought you Dead Leaves are at it again! woot!
whats up with that theme song XDD
seems like a mix of Brazilian carnival's samba, orgasms, and pantsu shaking >.<
I'll watch it anyway.....
Actually, it looks more like a Puffy version of Dead Leaves to me.
Or a Dead Leaves version of Puffy, either way it will be more LOL Gainax.
Wow even gir from invader zim is there o_-
Enjoy our Syphilis Cake.
Am very put off by the (imo) ugly art, but will give the 1st episode a chance.
Just damn damn ugly...
The animation looks cool, the art looks interesting. Not everything is going to be something you can fap to. sorry.
p.s. I'm sure you'll end up fapping to it anyway.
Gainax makes as much shit as anyone else, but they can be counted on to be interesting from time to time.
Shit looks fucking awesome, i guess since this site's userbase mostly consists of fans of whatever the latest moe trash is wouldn't like something that has any sense of fun or originality.
Preview reminded me of dead leaves and that's a really fucking good thing, dead leaves was fantastic.
And shit yeah taku from mflo on the soundtrack, again i doubt anyone here cares since you're all too busy listening to seiyuu trash.
Well this is a site for weaboos, do you really expect them to watch something that even remotely reminds them that they aren't Japanese?
You speak the truth. The comments here implying it fails just because it looks like a western cartoon makes me puke. Fucking weaboos.
Truest statement, ever. They're no anti-american culture than they even run their mouths every time the word xbox appears on here.
You sir are fucking awesome!
If by original you mean, "Looks like every other gay-ass show on the cartoon network."
Well, that was stupid. I mean, the art style alone was enough to put me off. It's such a shame to think that people are gonna watch this just because it's Gainax.
I'm not normally into Gainax shows or over-the-top ecchi or toilet jokes like this. I don't hate them, they're just not my thing.
But it's actually ONLY because of the art that I'll give this a chance. The style's probably a play on western media, but I actually find that more intriguing than off-putting. Different strokes and all that jazz.
And it's such a shame that there are people like you that judge a series from a preview alone.
the point of a preview is to give you an idea of whether a show is worth watching or not. Not everyone is a tool who will waste their time watching every fucking series regardless of whether it looks like shit.
While it may give you an idea, it's not always a good representation of the show's worth. And why would you watch every fucking series? Read goddamn reviews first.
And i think that the art style is to make fun of the western style of ppg and such. Well basically make fun of cartoon network :D
Looks more like that Puffi Amiyumi or w/e the crap it was called than Powerpuff Girls. Also the most annoying promo I've seen in a while. I'll probably still watch at least the first episode, but my hopes are not up.
I didn't know GIR from Invader Zim was in this.
What. Is. This?!
This. Is. Gainax! ^_^
A giant black guy in anime? Don't be ridiculous...
Dutch from black lagoon.
Simon from Durarara, anyone?
Elean from Baccano?
Go and watch Afro Samurai. Now.
forget Afro Samurai. All about the Boondocks.
Boondocks is not anime. Do us all a favor and read before posting.
Boondocks isn't anime.
Boondocks isn't anime, but it doesn't give a fuck about whether it is or not. Neither do I.
Please, Anime wishes it was like the Boondocks.
Or Seto no Hanayome...
... MASA-SAAAAAAN!!!!!!
