Several minor female characters are shown to be randy.
Various conversations over the course of the series indicates that Stocking has almost as active a sex life as Panty. In addition to Panty, there's Stocking, who gropes a bunch of cheerleaders' breasts, is repeatedly Too Kinky to Torture, and is definitely not averse to spontaneously striking poses for men standing by with cameras.All There in the Manual: The names of Scanty and Kneesocks' weapons, Double Gold Lacytanga and Double Gold Spandex, respectively, only appear in their character bios on the website.At one point, Brief wakes up after a nap and thinks that the events of the episode were just a crazy nightmare. All Just a Dream: Subverted in "Trans-homers".Aesop Amnesia: Brief points that out that Panty and Stocking have already had a "petty fighting gets you nowhere" plot, but that doesn't stop them from going into another all-out war on each other.Actor Allusion: Stocking's Noblewoman's Laugh in "The Diet Syndrome" is exactly like Renge Houshakuji's in the dub.Acid-Trip Dimension: The series resembles this.Accidental Hero: A running gag involves the girls accidentally rescuing bystanders from various plights.Absurdly Spacious Sewer: Contains a ghost factory.
Absurdly Sharp Blade: Justified in that while Stocking's katana can slice through an entire demon-possessed semi-truck, Stocking still needs to manually sharpen her blades with machinery, as seen in "High School Nudical".The weird thing is that despite all these girls only being incredibly popular, they seem to have actual power over the school's RRRUUUUUUUUUURRRUs. Absurdly Powerful Student Council: The Mayor's daughters take over the school in "Les Diaboliques", and before that, Barby the Queen Bee Ghost had the whole school at her feet before Panty and Stocking came along.Doesn't stop it from pushing up staircases and through windows. Absurdly Long Limousine: Scanty and Kneesocks' demonic SUV-limo stretches for as long as the anime is absurd.11th-Hour Superpower: Chuck gains one in "Bitch Girls: 2 Girls".Each episode is done in the Two Shorts format, save for the final two, double-length episodes. A number of fans consider it even weirder than FLCL, which really says a lot, though others will say it sits on par with the batshit insane Dead Leaves.
With its strange Thick-Line Animation-style reminiscent of The Powerpuff Girls and other early 2000s Cartoon Network shows note save for a handful of scenes rendered in a "regular" anime style and a raunchy sense of humor that wouldn't be out of place among any Adult Swim programming, 2010's Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is probably one of the weirdest, kookiest, most out there series Studio Gainax has ever produced.
In other words, you're watching a typical Studio Gainax anime. Aided by their dog Chuck and guided by Father Garterbelt, a black priest with a titanic afro and a variety of sexual fetishes, the sisters fight ghosts in incredibly sexy, exciting, and just plain old weird ways. In response, Heaven sends down two less-than-heavenly angels (who also happen to be sisters) to stop the Ghosts: Panty, an incredibly promiscuous blonde who can turn her panties into guns, and Stocking, a goth girl with an eternal craving for sweets who can turn her stockings into swords. Evil creatures called Ghosts have begun attacking Daten City, a city located on the border of Heaven and Earth.
