Summary:
At Anime Expo 2023, an official sequel was announced and even the first teaser was shown.
The creators definitely had a goal to make an anime unlike anything produced before.
There is a good possibility that the second season will continue the events of the first season.
Many years have passed since the first season of the crazy and amoral story about fallen angels. It seems that the full-fledged continuation will definitely not happen, and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt will remain an extraordinary memory from the past. But in 2022, an announcement of a new project suddenly appeared. Another year of silence followed, and finally at Anime Expo 2023 an official sequel was announced and even the first teaser was shown.
A little bit about the universe
The plot centers around two characters. Panty is a sweet looking blonde, but by nature she is a creepy lecher. Stocking is a gothic lolita with a penchant for masochism. In the past, the sisters were angels, but they were banished from heaven to earth. The girls found themselves in Daten-city, whose inhabitants are constantly attacked by ghosts. Now they will have to exterminate this evil in order to atone for their sins and return to paradise.
Each episode consists of two 12-minute episodes. They represent a battle with the next antagonist, but each deals with a specific theme. There is no general through plot in the series, except for the last few episodes. But the anime pleases with an endless stream of satire and madness. It's hard to name something that is not ridiculed in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.
The creators definitely had a goal to make an anime unlike anything produced before. If you look at the list of people who worked on the project, you can see various notable writers, artists, and animators. Just think of writer and director Hiroyuki Imaishi, who has been involved in some of Gainax' best titles, including Neon Genesis Evangelion and FLCL. All in all, Panty and Stocking came along in 2010 and broke all patterns.
So what's next?
The continuation of the story was not released for more than 10 years. The reason for this was rights issues. The first season was produced by Gainax, but the direct creator Hiroyuki Imaishi left the studio and founded his own. However, the rights to the series obviously remained with the previous studio and it was impossible to make a second season. The battle for the franchise took a long time and ended recently.
Now we know that Studio Trigger, which gave us SSSS.Gridman, Kill la Kill, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, will be responsible for the second season. The title is almost unchanged, except that they added the word "new". Details about the plot, cast and release dates are unfortunately not available. And the announcement was more of a clip than a full trailer. But there is a good possibility that the second season will continue the events of the first. Whatever the new project in the universe of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is, we can be sure that it will continue to break the boundaries of morality and ethics.
