Let me get this out of the way first: I LOVE Dead Leaves. It’s easily one of my favorite anime movies I’ve ever seen, but I cannot in good faith say that everyone should see it. Anyone looking for substance and meaningful relationships in their anime will throw up their ...

So it’s all come down to this: Brief captured, Stocking in Heaven, Panty unarmed. The suspense has reached its highest point, and it’s time for the final battle to arrive. In the end, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt’s last episode’s confrontations recapture the epicness of Gainax’s past works, while adding ...

It’s been a long while since we had some Mayor-related suspense in Panty and Stocking, so it’s finally time for the angelic duo to get back on the storyline train and wrap things up. Episode 12 got off to a rocky start, but made peak performance in its second scenario. ...

Episode 11, already? Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is already beginning its evanescent end, but Gainax is up for one more surreal trip this time around. A focus on everyone’s favorite afro-priest and some odd, conversational humor helps Episode 11 evade the flaws seen in the last episode, while still ...

Episode 10 of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt can only be described as schizophrenic. Addressing sexual fetishes and surreal cartoon violence was a weird step, but as if an apology, the episode is rounded out with a fantastically parody-filled music video that will make any fan crack a smile. Filler ...

 After poo monsters, sex tapes, and “Angel vs. Devil” confrontations, anything goes at this point for Gainax’s angelic duo. With the series a decent way into its second half, some may think that the angels are running out of steam. Far from it; Episode 9 proved that the series can ...

 Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is quickly becoming one of those shows that always finds energy to burn, even through their missteps. Sure, they’ve stumbled a few times, but they’ve been on a serious roll lately. Eight episodes in and Panty and Stocking are still going strong. Thanks to some ...

After one of the best episodes seen in the series, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt really needed to step it up to the next level to stay consistent. I wasn’t expecting Gainax to surpass the last episode; it was just that good. But Episode 7 does the classic anime robot ...

 When Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt debuted, the introduction of two naughty angels fired from Heaven was a unique one, especially when filled to the brim with English onomatopoeia and pokes at American-drawn cartoon design. The characters were exceptionally constructed, the jokes pushed the limit of nastiness and vulgarity, and ...

 After a rise back to power in the last episode, I wasn’t really expected Panty and Stocking to stay consistent. Asking for consistency in Gainax is like asking a Super Saiyan to power up without yelling: it just doesn’t happen. Fortunately, Episode 5 of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt takes ...

Despite Gainax’s efforts, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt has been slipping. After a huge debut, the series was a bright future for the angel duo and their afro-haired priest. Sadly, the last two episodes began to show the series in a more negative light. The humor was stretched, the battles ...

Gainax’s Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt has been known for pushing the envelope in terms of dirty, sexual, and adult humor, but no episode really showed it off better than this one. For their third episode, Panty and Stocking deal with some sibling confrontations and plenty of masturbation jokes. While ...

 After the rollercoaster ride of their debut episode, everyone’s favorite angel duo returns for their second episode. Panty and Stocking’s second episode is a mixed bag of mature humor, clever parody, and generally underwhelming pokes at teen tension. If Gainax kept it up with the edgy humor in the first ...

 Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt has been circulating the anime community for a while now. As Gainax’s newest project, it was bound to have a following. Gainax is no fool to pushing the envelope when it comes to humor, and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt could very well be Gainax’s ...

 Learning from your typical shonen anime, death isn’t something that many of your musclebound heroes take particularly seriously. Take a look at Dragon Ball Z: people come back to life so much throughout that series it’s staggering. One Piece? The hero has so much drive that it really doesn’t matter ...
