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!
Wow, this takes me back to the times where I used to watch more western cartoons than anime...
GIR?
.....I think I'll watch the first episode first before coming to any conclusions -_-
there dog looks like GIR

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.

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...

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
