https://pbs.tw.com/media/Ed0YtTeU4AEIuTH.png Ah yes Panty Stocking with Garter Belt Hm where do I start? This show picks a seemingly simple topic antihero angels whove been kicked out of heaven adds its twist on magical girls a sprinkle of plot and a boatload of ...well how do I put this? dirty jokes and makes it into something entertaining. Storyline and Plot The show established a plot early on. These angels needed to kill ghosts to get heaven coins. However after a few episodes it drifted to a different place shoving the ghosts in minor places to link it to the overall idea. I admit this is slightly sloppy on the creators part but I actually enjoyed it. I am a big fan of diverting from the plot for the sake of character development and didnt notice this flaw until someone else pointed it out. Characters Panty and Stocking are simple characters based around one or two of their interests. However I dont feel this takes too much away from the show as their interactions with each other and others are still entertaining despite this. Panty and Stocking dont conform to the stereotypes of an angel they do whatever they want no matter the consequences. On the opposite side there are Scanty and Kneesocks demons who have a passion for following the rules and making the best of themselves. The irony of this drives the characters away from the stereotype that angels are good and demons are evil while still presenting two effective sides. Art Music and Format https://www..com/watch?v=5KN0HgWNo All the art style shifts throughout the show were some of my favorite parts from the ghosts blowing to bits the detailed transformation scene and the cartoony style that dominated most of the show. Accompanying this was the soundtrack which in my opinion was great especially my personal favorite song D City Rock linked above. At first I found it strange each episode was really two combined but I enjoyed it for the sake of my short attention span. It also made the show progress faster and not drag on due to the limited duration of episodes. The Ending slight spoilers Overall the ending wrapped up the show in a neat little bow with a spot for a potential sequel. However seeing as its been 11 years I dont think well be getting one soon. After the storyline diverted from the main plot it finally got back on the rails and became fairly emotional for a comedy show if you dont think about it too much. A bit of cliche was created towards the end making things somewhat predictable but with a little art style swap and nonsensicalness it was combatted nicely.
