| My Life as a Teenage Robot is my favourite anime. |

Haylias said: My Life as a Teenage Robot is my favourite anime. Except it's not an anime ;D Anywho, if that's the concept art, I get the feeling that Gainax is trying to rip itself off, to copy the success of Gurren Lagann... |
| with a title like 'panty & stocking' i can't be blamed for feeling apprehensive right? |
brono11 said: with a title like 'panty & stocking' i can't be blamed for feeling apprehensive right? That would normally be the case... ...but it is Gainax. |

Haylias said: brono11 said: with a title like 'panty & stocking' i can't be blamed for feeling apprehensive right? That would normally be the case... ...but it is Gainax. mmm good point |
| ...I'm pretty sure that concept art is My Life as a Teenage Robot... it's even got the same villains and whatnot as far as I remember... |
 |
| my life as a teenage robot or something like that. It's being broadcast in the netherlands for children. |
 |
| This does sound interesting though if it looks like my life as a teenage robot then.... do not want. |
| Panties are the new GAR. |
  |
| weird title indeed |
| What's up with the new trend in anime and movies with weird titles? |
Earth gets angry after a kick in the face. |
| Hell yeah, moar Gaynax. |
| cool im a fan of frantic animation like dead leaves and gurren lagann |
dtshyk said: Unconfirmed info!! This may be the concept art of Panty & Stocking. Pansto? concept art One of the audience of the event expressed his impression of the art that "Dead Leaves + The Powerpuff Girls + FLCL". As people have said that's fanart by Yoshinari of the My Life as a Teenage Robot cartoon. It could be concept art for the new Gainax show, but Yoshinari has been known to draw MLTR before as can be seen by this gif:  |
 |
Isn't that My Life as a Teenage Robot? Anyways, Wierd title... |
 |
| Okay, that's obviously My life as a Teenage Robot. dtshyk, you got trolled again. |
 |
| I love TTGL just as much as the next person, but no. Just no. |
 Znips: When Shay is born she just crawls back in the womb to shitpost for another year |
| Who cares about the premise? Direction by Imaishi with animation by Yoshinari and designs by Nishigori sounds fucking awesome. |
 |
| Spiral Panties! |
 |
| Holy shit. |
 |
| ... Kill it with fire. |
| Great news, bad name. |
 |
| Is this some sort of joke? ........ Uh...well....no comment. |
 |
| I want them *-* |
| I will wait for more information before deciding properly, but I will keep an eye on it. If it's about lingerie-wearing mecha, then it will be a must watch. If it isn't mecha or action, then it will probably be meh. I will probably watch it anyway, with it being Gainax and all, though. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
EPIC COMBINATION. Anything that is like FLCL is gonna be win. Then you add Gurren Lagann staff. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? |
| "Panty and Stockings" sounds like some crappy harem anime. But then again this is Gainax, so it might as well be called "Emo and Robots". |
 |
| A perverted anime, from Gainax, never... |
| My anime list |
| If there's no Kazuki Nakashima in the staff, it definitely won't be the same as Gurren Lagann unfortunately. He's the guy that pushed GL at the top. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| You panties will be the ones to pierce the heavens! Why did I just imagine the whole male cast of Gurren Lagann in woman's lingerie? |
  |
| Well, we'll see where it goes. Gainax has not failed me with any of their that I have watched yet. I can't wait for my new seemingly cliche but actually amazingly epic and thought provoking series. |
| ... wtf? |
 |
| (I know ANN is MAL's rival but just for accuracy's sake) Okay, they have it listed as Pantsuto. Now I know shows like Ladies vs. Butlers can be romanized as LadyBato or like BakaTest. Are you absolutely sure that it's written that way on purpose because it seems like you messed up and confused it that so it looks like PantsuSuto This would be the article I'm mentioning BTW http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-05-05/gurren-lagann-director-designers-on-new-gainax-work |
| |
| I take it this is something different from Gainax's proposed animated project set in Great Britain during the early 1900s? |
garfield15 said: I'm no expert but since the words are English, the proper short name should be PanSto from Pan(ty/tsu) and Sto(cking). This is however your standard Japanese pun, so I'd assume they're going for the pantsu sutokkingu aspect, where the last kana and the first kana in their respective word is similar. Sort of like Bakemonogatari, a composite word.Okay, they have it listed as Pantsuto. Now I know shows like Ladies vs. Butlers can be romanized as LadyBato or like BakaTest.

No, see, I get the joke. That's why I had those examples (not the best examples now that I realize it). That's why I need to understand whether MAL or ANN have the wrong title or that this is a completely different Gainax project than the one taking place in Britain that was announced a few days ago. Given that the "concept art" is from My Life as A Teenage Robot, that means someone is getting trolled or fed misinformation. |

What are the chances that two separate Gainax projects with a similar name are taking place at the same time? |
Xenzio said: netripper said: Thats an american cartoon that I forgot it's name. Looking forward to that. My Life as a Teenage Robot yup. |
 |
| So the Gurren Lagann staff is remaking My Life as a Teenage Robot with gratuitous amounts of HOT BLOODED ROBOT ACTION, fanservice, and Gainax bounce? Holy shit. |
❝goodbyes are always hard, no matter how you might try to make them easier.❞ |
| Am I the only person who thinks the title doesn't sound like an ecchi anime...? Also I like the way the word "panty" in a title can make people ignore the words "Gainax" and "staff of Gurren Lagann." |
