The 5th episode of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has delivered something of a shock, with the second half (or 10th episode if preferred) adopting a rather unexpected artistic direction.
The first part contains the usual antics (representative sample below), but this was largely ignored for reasons which will soon become obvious.
The second part however takes a rather radical departure from the rest of the series:
And what do Panty and Stocking look like in this new world?
The fan response ranges from bewilderment to boredom, and of course the usual stream of complaints…
Errr… I’m the only one that believe 2nd part could be a small homage to Satoshi Kon?? (very similar style to Kon works, and also is similar to what’s depicted in the final chapters of Paranoia Agent…
Well.. maybe i’m wrong.
No that’s what I thought too. As soon as this episode began I thought “What the..? Paranoia Agent?”
After all, this entire series seems to play homage to many thing from American TV. Paranoia Agent was one thing that played on Adult Swim late nights and seemed to be pretty popular. So I connected it like that as well.
The most brilliant thing about “Vomiting Point”:
The episode seems rather dull and pointless until the Ghost attacks. It’s just a bunch of people standing around and talking, portraying an ordinary situation in a very plain way, with nothing funny or interesting happening.
In other words, it’s EXACTLY LIKE all those “slice of life” moe anime, but they replaced the moeblobs with hideously drawn adults.
In this context, the complaints about how “boring” this episode was are twice as funny (and Gainax is trolling twice as hard.)
But see, I bet the only ones complaining this was boring are the same retards who hate k-on.
I’m done with this anime so crazy
I never knew that Bleedman got the chance to make his own anime series! Good for him!
Ugghhh please, you can’t compare bleedman’s shitty amateurish teenager’s drawings to gainax’s animation.
Indeed. Bleedman is superior to this s♥♥t.

Hmmm. How old are you?
I do actually. This show has the worst animation I’ve seen compared to anything else made past 2000.
Haha, that’s pretty funny. Wait, no not really, that’s sad if you really think that. 🙁 Though I don’t think you actually do.
f*cking epic….leaves me breathlessXDlol
