A friend of mine, over the internets that is, said that the latest animation to come out of the great land or the Rising Sun, Nippon, was a bad excuse for anime riddled with american style animation and characters.
I managed to sneak a peek of this new series, 2 episodes to be exact, and this far I have to say that he has a point. The series does look rather 'americanized' and reminds me of a cross-over between Genndy Tartakovsky's Dexter and Powerpuff Girls. But I liked both shows. Thus it's not a problem for me.
The plot seems to be that Panty and Stocking are both Angels, fallen angels to be exact, the point is that they are looked after by a, what seems to be, african-american christian priest called Garterbelt... and the sole mission of Panty and Stocking (besides having sex with every good looking guy [Panty] and eating every single sugary goodness there is [Stockings]) is to collect something called 'heaven coins' ...if I remember correctly. And they gain these coins by completing tasks handed out by the heavens, conveied to them by the great black priest. These tasks, this far, have included destroying ghosts and phantoms of such, while getting covered in shit.. literally.
All in all, the show seems entertaining and slightly innovative. Haven't seen much like this from Japan before but it didn't give me the same 'chills' as FLCL (FuriKuri) gave me years ago when I first saw it. The show is entertaining and if you enjoyed Dexter and/or Powerpuff Girls, you are going to enjoy Panty and Stockings with Garter Belt.
Enjoy the show, cheers!
