This is like watching the characters from ppg, dexter's lab, & jimmy twoshoes with an uncensored south park audio. XDD I guess that's one way to put it.

Panty's booger in this episode was as almost as big (if not as big) as Gengai's.


The sexual nose picking waws funny!

I also swear when I sneeze, I don't say fuckchoo though. I just say fuck or shit.

The food and the snot looked way to similar.

I'm watching this anime dubbed but I had to rewatch some of this in sub when I read that Sugita Tomokazu voiced a character :D
I love hearing Gintoki in other anime!

The little girl who likes Panty & Stocking who was being influenced by them and swearing was funny xD

The animation was great in the second half. I loved seeing the two art styles colliding with each other.

My favourite episode so far!

The change of artstyle in the second part surprised me and completely changes the tone and pacing for the P&G. I dig it.

That second part though...that really hit hard. I've been loving this show - but that segment was really well done. It came out of nowhere & felt really experimental (this whole show is kinda odd & experimental though - with its bizarre references to American Cartoons & Tokusatsu shows & its gross lewd humor) but also very depressing and somber. It was something I genuinely didn't expect - that's saying a lot since I've known about this show for a few years now - but then again Gainax was (is - with Trigger - I guess) all about surprising.

Second half was the closest this show has come to being remotely watchable.

I'm considerably weaker than apparently most of the viewers here because the first part made me a bit sick to my stomach. Even though I did enjoy how they played around with the innuendos, there was a few parts where I had to look away.

Second part... It gave off a bit of a depressing vibe... but I guess I didn't really dislike it. It was interesting and I just... wow. It definitely surprised me. It wasn't exactly a negative surprise either. I kind of found myself on the lines with this episode.

However I'm still excited to see what next episode will bring! :D

Good episode, might be the first one where I really liked both shorts. The first one was pretty sophomoric. And weird. And under explained. So basically it's a solid representation of this series. It didn't have any seriously weird fetishes or jokes in bad taste that ruined it basically. And the ending blimp fight was one of the most entertaining fights of the series so far. I guess what really made it work for me though. That the central joke of treating nose picking like an erotic act was really funny. In particular I got a kick out of Panty and Oscar picking each others noses in that one scene. Kind of felt bad for Stocking at the end though.

The second one meanwhile is honestly one I'm still scratching my head about. But in a good way. This short tried something very different. It changed up the art style a little. Though Panty and Stocking's blocky character models remained unchanged and stood in stark contrast to their surroundings to cool effect. Basically though I never expected an episode that barely has the heroines in it. Choosing instead to focus on a random sad sack office drone in the same world as them. The ugly human character models were fascinating and interesting. While it's purpose is unclear to me, it actually told an effective story about a father doing his best for his daughter. And tied P & S in at the end. Plus the scene where he vomits everywhere was really cool. Reminded me of something Satoshi Kon might have done.

I don't get what this show was trying to accomplish in the 2nd half. It was unnecessarily hard to follow just because the storytelling was bad, and all in all it just seemed completely out of place.

I kinda liked the second half personally.

Way I figure it, it was the creative team getting a semi 4th wall break in, with a light jab at their bosses for haranguing them over production deadlines all the time.

This was one snotty episode. As a nose picker myself, I appreciate this show shining some light on this social taboo. Having a clean nose is next to godliness.There isn't any hole on your body that doesn't need a good picking once in a while. We need an LGBT movement for the completely natural acts like picking, farting and burping.

It gets weirder and weirder by the episode. I love it.

The second half was just... wow. Grim, depressing, ugly and disgusting. The animation was magnificent. That was amazing, probably pinnacle of this show, doubt that anything will beat that in those 8 episodes, looking forward to them.

First part was funny, but kinda disgusting tbh XD

Sugita is amazing!!!!

Also, that "bed" scene. Wouldn't be surprised if people already started doing that in real life XD

2nd is your typical Japanese salaryman. At least he was able to get an autograph from Panty & Stocking :)

Anyone remember that Canadian "Grossology" cartoon from the 00's? This is like the Adultswim, kinda-sorta-anime, adult-aimed knock-off.

Animation in the second half was ok, tho

The first half of the episode was just like any other, except much more disgusting and I didn't enjoy it very much. The second half was really interesting with the darker theme and the more realistic animation, but the ending really fell flat imo and it just didn't live up to its potential.

Man that second half was just incredible, I love how they did something so totally different from the rest of the show, while at the same time not making me question the change until it was over. That was such a depressing and real story, I don't get how people can say they didn't get the point of it.

Also the contrast in those shots of panty and stocking in the realistic city was beautiful. I had to watch those again and again because I love how they stand out.

Despite the initial nauseting beginning this was a very boring episode down to the trite the world of today is gloom maybe they should have stuck to their bad sex jokes.

Stocking is not that good to keep watching this, bye.

I can't believe I'm just realizing every episode has a theme. This duo of episodes is gross out humor! The first one was pretty goofy with more insight to how over the heels brief is for panty. While the second one was a neat showing of how those down in their luck interact with panty and stocking! I thought he died and became a ghost, but it seems he was just possessed. I'm glad they were able to get that autograph for his daughter!

Okay, I've been fine with this show's more disgusting parts so far, but having Vic Mignogna in this show is a step too far.

(Oh yeah and there's also the nose-picking thing that was pretty gross.)

I really loved what they did with the second half. For this show it feels unique and different but still fits in with the vibe of the series, plus it was kind of sad and depressing.

What the fuck did just happened. The first segment very gross with those nose bleeding and sexual analogies but nothing extraordinary, but the second one, that brutalist and gross style with realism in the plot, just what and then they with their normal artstyle. Probably the most unique segment in the entire show for how different is and I felt bad for the man and his daughter but then the monster and they arrived, what a thing.

Dude, what the actual hell was this. Suddenly the entire show turned into a whole Satoshi Kon hommage on top of tackling some societal issue and the whole artstyle looks NOTHING like the entire show up to that point. Imaishi is so fucking great at referencing animation into anime itself, no one deserves the title of king of Otaku than him, simply the GOAT.

SOOOOOOOOOO many people were filtered by this in 2010 and still are today lmao, at least I know my knowledge of this medium FAAAAAARR exceed those of people back 15 years ago, imagine being so ignorant you don't know who Kon is the year he dies, I hope they all did their reps afterwards.

What the fuck was the first half. Can't believe I watched that disgusting shit.

I thought the 2nd half would be disgusting too because of the name but it completely caught me off-guard. Maybe that was the point. That was very clever.

The artstyle shift in the 2nd part of the episode came outta nowhere. It looks like a Satoshi Kon anime. Did he direct this part? Wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in some way. Anyway, this was nothing like any previous episode which shocked me the most. Panty and Stocking didn't even properly appear until much later. Panty's "anime" form was on TV so Ig that was kinda cool? Ig we'll never see that transformation scene again. Anyway, the main focus was the old guy who's earnest but still seems to screw things up. It was nice to see that he was trying to be a good employee and a father I suppose.

But the most interesting part was that this was probably the first time they showed how a ghost is made. It's about what I expected. But it was pretty cool. Panty and Stocking did show up in the end but it was in their usual artstyle which was pretty funny. Shame that they didn't show up to the girl's birthday. But they at least gave her something. Better than nothing. Maybe they'd visit next time (yeah, fat chance). So, even though I hated the first part, the second part kinda redeems it. It was totally unexpected. I wonder if there are more experimental episodes like this one.

I love the rupture that we seen in the second part of this episode, it was disturbing and here to create a kind of discomfort because of the rupture between a regular episode and this part. The AD in particular is really a good choice. I can understand why people didn't like this part because of the storytelling but for me it work perfectly well.
