Panty & Stocking in Sanitarybox

Note: Noone should watch this before having seen the main series first, as this is essentially a bonus episode made of shorts and references to other episodes.

Story: The story can not be rated because it is just a short collection of episodes. Rather I will rate the overall quality of the episodes. Compared to the main series I found these stories to be less entertaining or funny than the main series, however, I do like that it builds a bit on just random things about the main and side characters. Overall the story is a 7/10 Heaven Coins.

Art: I particularly like the art style of ... Panty & Stocking because it's more American, similar to that of the Powerpuff Girls or other early CN show styles. I go more into this in my review of the main series. Despite me loving the art style, it felt a bit less in this OVA so I'll knock a point. Overall the art style is 9/10 Backlaces.

Sound: Nothing much to note about the audio. I find the ENG dub more enjoyable to watch this series in because it fits with the art style more than the JAP one does. There's nothing particularly good or bad about it because it's just shorts, it's just good. Overall the sound for the ENG dub is 8/10 Stripes.

Characters: Here I won't be judging the characters based on the OVA, I'll be judging them based on the original series. It is to be noted, and has, that more character building has been done in the OVA through the power of the shorts, although it's mainly useless details. One of them being that Garterbelt is gay and often hangs around gay night clubs in town. Maybe I'm biased, but I love the characters. Overall the characters are 10/10 geeky nerd boys.

My personal enjoyment: I enjoyed it. I thought it was good, nothing particular compared to the original, but it was solid. I've already mentioned what I like and don't like, so not much more is required. Overall 8/10 ghosts, I'm a bit disappointed.

When you average the scores, you get 8.4/10 as the final verdict. It was good, that's it. The main series is much better in several regards, so it definitely boosted the score. It wasn't good, it wasn't terrible, it was just there.

Panty and Stocking in Sanitarybox tries to add a bit more onto the series after it's ran its course by providing one minute skits...which, in my opinion, could've worked better for the series as a whole than 11 minute halves. As it stands, the TV show has too much time to tell a story and runs out of jokes or things to talk about sometimes. However, how does this do as a supplement to the series? Ignoring the fact it's only 8 minutes long in total, the jokes are.....hit or miss. Some of them are okay, but most cross the line into disturbing or uncomfortable, ... not unlike some episodes of the main show did. You can argue that's their point, but there IS such a thing as overkill. Unfortunately, I don't believe there are enough good segments to outnumber the bad, so I can only give it a 4/10.

Watched the whole series followed by this "ova?" Well it's pretty much the same as watching the normal 13 episodes again while having a stroke. The normal episodes were missing a real story and any real content aside from slapstick comedy but this is actually just the equivalent of anaphylactic shock I guess, idk maybe having a lumbar puncture would be more entertaining than whatever the fuck that was. What was that even supposed to be? Like did they pay someone to write those 30 second embarrassingly bad scenes? I liked the characters but gzus you could not pay me to ... watch that again. I would have given it a 0 but I thought the original show was bad so it earns a 1 but then I chuckled once so I guess it can have a 2.
