Fast sell:
Foul-mouthed fallen angels Panty and Stocking must rid Daten City of malevolent ghosts if they're to be allowed back into heaven. Guided by pervy priest Garterbelt and blessed with the ability to transform underwear into weapons, Panty and Stocking fight everything from sexy demons to vengeful sperm ghosts in one of the rudest, crudest, funniest and weirdest anime ever made.
Synopsis:
Angels Panty and Stocking have been booted out of heaven for bad behaviour and can't return until they've destroyed the ghosts menacing Daten City. Fortunately, the less-than-angelic pair have some surprises hidden away under their dresses - blonde-haired sex maniac Panty can magically transform her knickers into a handgun while her sugar-addicted sister Stocking can change her stripy legwear into twin katana. Aided by bondage-loving, afro-bedecked priest Garterbelt and their luckless dog Chuck, Panty and Stocking battle a host of bad guys including faeces monsters, sperm ghosts, evil cheerleaders and alien robots ...not to mention their demonic arch rivals, Scanty and Kneesocks.
Panty And Stocking With Garter Belt is Studio Gainax's homage to Western cartoons such as The Powerpuff Girls, Ren & Stimpy and South Park - 13 potty-mouthed episodes of delicious double-entendre, gross out comedy and all-round weirdness topped off with brilliantly audacious animation.
We like it because:
Panty And Stocking is what happens when animators are let off the leash; a wild ride packed with WTF moments, taboo-busting jokes and gleefully imaginative visuals. Half homage to, half parody of American cartoons, Panty And Stocking is a show that elevates vulgarity into an art form.

Editor's Notes:
Gainax, the studio that animated Panty And Stocking, has a penchant for provocative, imaginative and experimental anime, with credits including Neon Genesis Evangelion, FLCL and Gurren Lagann.
Panty And Stocking was allegedly born during a team trip after the airing of Imaishi's Gurren Lagann series, as the drunk Gainax staff came up with a wish-list of what they'd like to see in an anime.
Mariya Ise, Stocking's Japanese voice actress, also plays Tiger & Bunny's Pao-Lin Huang; Aria the Scarlet Ammo's Riko; Air Gear's Ringo; Ben-To's Sen Yarizui and Yes! Pretty Cure 5's Cure Lemonade.
