Best anime of the season or best anime of all time?

Discuss.

I don't like the animation style, too much exactly like powerpuff girls, not that it is horrible. The dialog and scenes were great, however. If it was a more realistic rendering I would possibly watch more then 8 minutes.

I've been discussing cosplaying it with a friend too, depends on if the show keeps being excellent. If so I'd be doing Panty at next years Akicon.

The advisor from my anime club showed me a preview of this; it looks funny as all happy heck!

This isn't anime. It's American cartoons with Japanese language dubs. sigh.

But then Gendy Tartakosky isn't exactly American either....

I don't think you can make me follow this show.

ALL OF MY RAGE.

I love it. The art style, animation, music, premise, and characters are all fantastic. Its dry humor may not be uproariously funny but the show's already off to a creative and sharp start. I'm glad that it's not animated completely in the style of the transformation sequence, then it'd be the same old, same old; what was cool about it was how unexpected it was.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #12 on:** October 03, 2010, 10:44:38 pm »

Anime= animation originating in Japan

That's like saying Avatar: The Last Airbender isn't American because it's style looks like it was influenced by anime, or that Wakfu isn't French because they have Kawaii desu eyes.

Describe this more mature or "happier" anime you speak of? As far as I can tell, while the humor is a bit 'in your face and raunchy,' most anime I see has the same sexual language if not being less mature with its child like way the characters say their feelings. Everything else I kind of agree with you on, and I know there is happy anime out there.

I would like to see some anime with as much language or fanservice as the high school shows, only with an adult cast and things adults have problems with. I've seen enough school dramas, if you know of something that is actually for an older audience I would like to hear about it. No H please, I would like some adult ecchi anime, but I've no interest in going so far as to watch anything pornographic.

luvan1me · « **Reply #16 on:** October 05, 2010, 01:07:30 am »

it's the fact that's it's def in your face kind of sexual humor. and it's not much of humor compared to the way family guy or some other shows protray "sex". in a way other shows poke fun at it. this show kinda just i donno ._. i watched a few episodes and i really can't stand it. it's too much of the sexual content. -_-" i guess the kinda shows i like are like more "serious" in terms of the storyline. like they actually have a plot that sort of draws my interest. for example kekkaishi, soul eater (not so much anymore lol), hitman reborn, haruhi suzumiya (it was strange at first but at least it was less of the in your face kinda stuff and it was balanced out with someone who can at least had some sense ._. lol poor kyon), inuyasha (not so much sexual content but a few jokes with moroku (sp) srsly he needs to stop -_-"), cowboy beebop (was a bit sexual but yet again not as obscene except with faye, she was cool but needs to stop the butt showing <-<), FLCL (YES it was very SEXUAL but i had some laughs out of it, and it took me a while to understand some of it lol and i understood the series, and there was something more there. it just drew my attention and it got me interested i guess cuz it had some mystery about it (at least they were more properly dressed! lawlz XDDD), neon genesis evangelion (was a VERy good manga. loved the plot and characters <3 and this story really kept me on the edge of my seat a lot X3) and there are many others! i loved chobits too but some parts were just >_< *slaps hand to forhead* it was a subtle way to get the more "sexy" appeal of manga/anime to me i guess.

but i can see you're argument there though!
the "happier" anime i guess i speak of is like the more children targeted shows, like pokemon (jap.), miyasaki films <3 (really wish he could make anime ;~;), fantastic children (that was a beautiful work of art).

Classy Viking · « **Reply #17 on:** October 05, 2010, 01:23:43 am »

Well the humor is not that Panty is having sex, (Which we never see. Just the post sex.) but that she is a supposed angel on a mission to destroy these "ghosts" and she is far more interested in the chasing of men and having of the sex. The joke is the dichotomy of the whole thing. It is the same joke with Stocking's love of sweets compared to her interest in the mission.

luvan1me · « **Reply #18 on:** October 05, 2010, 02:29:16 am »

yes i understand that joke >.< it's just the content around it T_T i would watch this if maybe it were a bit less ._. i donno maybe the fact that it looks like the powerpuff girl's style -_-" and that children mindset is set in there cuz of that....

miyasaki films <3 (really wish he could make anime ;~;)

Two things:
1. His films are still anime, just not tv series.
2. He has done several tv series in his earlier days, such as Sherlock Hound, Future Boy Conan, Heidi Girl of the Alps, and Anne of Green Gables. They're all quite good for their genres.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #20 on:** October 05, 2010, 03:55:53 pm »

Awesome anime. Stocking is my twin.

And luvan1me, are you basically saying that you don't like perverted stuff? It's hard to tell with all the emoticons.

luvan1me · « **Reply #21 on:** October 05, 2010, 08:08:22 pm »

@man of the public: yes i do <_< i actually watched anne of green gables when i was a kid -_-" i just wished he would do more) and i meant not movies -_-"

@fleur: nope

i love pervy things just not this ... out there -_-" it's just the fact that's it's drawn in a way that it just gives me the mind set "powerpuff girls....little girls..." yea... had my deal with pedo stuff -_-"

Classy Viking · « **Reply #22 on:** October 15, 2010, 04:18:29 pm »

Brief is my favorite character. The second and third episodes have been great. Well the second half of the third was made of "What this is, I don't even". but good.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2010, 10:56:40 am »

Oh god the second half of the third episode... It was worth it for Stocking turning into Rena from Higurashi for a short while.

Also the more of this show I watch, the more I love Stocking. I was to cosplay every single one of her outfits.

CheshireStray · « **Reply #24 on:** October 18, 2010, 04:39:06 pm »

It's not really a reliable source, but after seeing the folks over on 4chan's /a/ board rage about this show, i was somewhat put off watching it.
Is it actually any good?

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #25 on:** October 18, 2010, 07:25:38 pm »

Pft they're dumb. Panty & Stocking is genuinely fun to watch for the silly art, hilarious dialogue, and ridiculous plots. It's like watching an old cartoon from my childhood, but suited to my current tastes.

Also, poop jokes.

camname21 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 19, 2010, 02:21:36 am »

Without those jokes it might be watchable. That first episode ending ruined the rest of the show for me :/

Cyprus · « **Reply #27 on:** October 19, 2010, 08:29:09 am »

The one episode I watched was humorous to me...this is one my G/F & I will probably be keeping an eye on lol. Would be great to see some cosplayers from this at con.

For some reason it kinda reminds me of the Clerks animated series...

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #30 on:** November 07, 2010, 11:26:16 am »

So, I finally watched the first episode; not bad, the first half was better. The music is terrible. I can't seem to download any other episodes from where I usually get my downloaded anime; they get saved as HTML documents, for some reason...

Classy Viking · « **Reply #31 on:** November 07, 2010, 12:09:46 pm »

I accept that your opinion about the music is wrong.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #32 on:** November 07, 2010, 12:21:09 pm »

You think I should've been more honest about it? Because I was holding back about the "quality" of the music; I just didn't want to upset anyone.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #33 on:** November 07, 2010, 04:32:07 pm »

Quite frankly I love the music, it's so much different from most anime I watch. The OP is fun and happy, and having an English ED is super interesting. The ED is the kind of thing I could have my non-anime friends listen to, plus it's simple to sing along with.

Plus "Fly Away" is freaking amazing. I was that song to play every second of my life.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #34 on:** November 07, 2010, 10:07:17 pm »

I think you need to watch more anime, then, because I hear it quite a bit. Either way, though, it's still poor music.

And don't you mean "I want" instead of "I was"? I'm pretty sure that you were never a song.

Classy Viking · « **Reply #35 on:** November 07, 2010, 10:26:11 pm »

The music is a perfect reflection of the series itself.

See P&Sw/GB has the theme of contrast and contradictions.

In the show itself's main contrast is it's art style (a fast moving, cartoonish style) to it's content (Two "angels" who run the gambit of mortal sins, use ultra-violence to "save" the town from evil). The music reflects this (Outside of the OP, that's just a fun yet generic OP), as the music is normally quick, fun, up beat, dance or "club" beat that is used to choreograph the ultra violent fights. Even the Ending theme is a contrast, as it sounds like a fun little pop song, is set to scenes of the angels being tortured and finally killed in the end.

TL;DR:

The music isn't terrible, as it perfectly fits within the themes and style of the show.

*sigh* Fine, you wanna know why? Here I go...

1 - It was obnoxious noise. I don't typically care for music that sounds like a digital file that's been corrupted. That's what it sounded like.

2 - It reminded me of a dance club where everyone is taking some sort of drug, perhaps multiple drugs. No thanks.

3 - It's simple, in terms of music level. I prefer music made by musical instruments, not a computer. Computer sound effects can be a benefit, but when the entire thing sounds like it was made by a program instead of blood, sweat, & tears, it's not music.

4 - It was so annoying that I wanted to fast forward through it. It was so annoying that I didn't even bother listening to the ending theme. As soon as it started, I hit the stop button and went on watching football.

Is that sufficient for you, or would you like more?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #40 on:** November 07, 2010, 10:50:38 pm »

This anime would be LOADS BETTER if Beethoven's 5th was playing for all the fight scenes. It perfectly fits the style of the show and everything.

Well, actually, it's you who's appearing to be stubborn. You couldn't handle my different opinion, nor did you like my reasoning. Your constant questioning of my rights makes you look bad. You make me want to stop watching the show, you're pushing it so badly. Are you happy now?

Classy Viking · « **Reply #48 on:** November 07, 2010, 11:16:21 pm »

I never questioned your reasoning, I may not enjoy your opinion, and I did (albeit out of a sense of humor) said it was wrong. I wasn't questioning your rights, as much as I was clarifying my use of "there are no words". I apologize for being quite so aggro with my stubborn comment.

(Note: I had a fairly aggressive response here at first, but I decided that it wasn't worth any perceived disrepect. Thus I changed it, to reflect my true feelings on this debate.)
