Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

Back in the day when I watched The Powerpuff Girls, I thought that there would be tons of Japanese cartoons in a similar visually over the top Japanese style. I was surprised to find there wasn't. It's taken 13 years for a Japanese studio to respond to this, and that studio just so happens to be Gainax.

It's got everything we would ever want for this style of anime (Powerpuff Girls Z is not one of them). It's got swear words, batshit crazygonuts looniversity animation/story, visual sound FX as standard, crudeness as standard, random live action sequences, random normal style animation sequences, a protagonist who clearly sleeps around, and a whole lot of fucking awesome epic style that goes with everything ive mentioned. Well, it is Gainax after all...

What a ride! XD

Not really a fan of this type of crude humor, but I'm watching this show solely for the awesome art style. And Stocking is fucking adorable.

Damn it, now I want to watch Powerpuff girls

This series has stirred a lot of interest at many anime communities.
I... don't quite understand why yet. ^^;

This is not to say I don't want to find out either. My curiosity has been sparked. The art style is nothing I've seen since the likes of Super Milk-Chan, Dead Leaves, and the PowerPuff Girls.

Probably because it's Gainax. Fans will love them no matter what they produce.

Could be. Some think that Gainax can do no wrong.

Stocking is fucking adorable.


Quoted for truth!
I just watched episode 1 and have to agree with you on that one.
Very cute. ^^

Umm... wow. Invader Zim + Powerpuff Girls + Ren & Stimpy x 10 perversion factor. Yeah, this is really fucked up, but I think tries waaaay to hard. My brain died a little.

I can't be the only one who has noticed this similarity, right?


Invader Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez might be keeping an eye on this one.

First thing I thought of, actually. Yeah, quite the similarity.

Knowing him, he's probably contemplating either suicide or genocide at the mere thought that there may, in fact, be Japanese Zim fans as insufferable as the American ones.

Speaking of which, he hasn't released any new comics in a while, has he? Did he finally go through with his threats to kill himself because of his annoying fan-base?

One can hope. Mind you I find his stuff amusing, but I mean really, being so annoyed at people who love your stuff and give you money that you want to kill yourself is about the dumbest thing ever. Man, gimme some of that love, folks :D.

I actually do find it awesome that he has the balls to point out that he dislikes the people who send him 500 pieces of incomprehensible fan-mail a day, but yeah, I think he's going a bit far with the threats he made (though I'm sure they were all created in the name of comedy!).
he commented on it all right

That was pretty funny, I thought. :)

When you're famous, you have to deal with crazy fans, it's part of fame, and knowing when to pay attention to fan responses, while placing the rest in the circular file.

However, his response was much lighter than I thought it would be. Pretty funny stuff.
