Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Episode 5 Discussion

K9001 said:
No , you are just moaning like a little baby, because you didnt like the ep, whould be more simple post "Dont like it" or simple dont post

But you fail at both...

A2ZOMG said:
And as expected, there is of course the users who are going to react emotionally, say that I suck, and fail to actually defend their opinions. At any rate people like you only prove that my point is more justified, since the opposing opinion is indefensible.

It is people like you who actually should avoid posting in episode discussion topics, since you're contributing nothing intelligent, but frankly I can't really complain since of course it's hard to expect the average person to be intelligent and objective. Regardless if my point is in fact flawed, it should be easy for you to counter my statements instead of trying to pretend my opinion doesn't exist. If that's something you can't do,I highly suggest you grow up, since the world can't cater to your opinion every day.

Alright Gainax, let's see what you've got today.

A Part
-The Runny?
-Well, it's just picking your nose, I don't see how that could possibly....oh god, that booger actually made me curl in revulsion.
-TOMOKAZU SUGITA! (Gintoki, Kyon, Bullet, epic voice actor)
-Oh boy, we're using boogers to float now. This episode's gonna get gross.
-Yeah, I already knew that one wasn't gonna be....you know...actual sex. Looks like some anime cliche's never get subverted.
-Booger Ghost. Man, this is getting really weird. I mean...wow....
-HAHA! I was wondering if they were going to bring up that Panty wasn't wearing something for easy access to panties!
-Okay, we have reached a new level of visual sound effects. "Pants On."
-Well, that was completely disgusting....NEXT PART NAO!

B Part
-YES YES! EPIC ART SHIFT! THIS IS WHY GAINAX IS AWESOME!
-OH MY GOD! IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM "PARANOIA AGENT/MIND GAME!"
-Seriously, I'm too busy being entertained by this animation right now. I don't care if this half is slow (it's not gonna be slow for long I bet)
-Oooooooh...I get it now. It's an in-universe meta episode where in that real world, Panty and Stocking actually exist.
-It's a meta episode...of the previous episode!
-Wow, these employees are total a-holes.
-Oh, this is about to get really bad, really fast. and...whoa, Vomit Ghost....is totally...freaking...AWESOME!
-AHAHAHA! GAINAX, you magnificent trolls of animation (unless the point was to make them stick out). The ending was kinda heartwarming though.

Yeah, Vomiting Point was the best one so far to me even if it was totally depressing.

Maybe for you. I was loving every second of it.

That Goes for you precisely

And you say to me "Grow up"?, better read all your "moaning post cuz dont like the ep and argue with everyone" and reconsider who need to grow up, clearly you fail to see that too

plz, someon slap him

A2ZOMG said:
I have every right to state my opinion of the episode and explain why I didn't like it. Never once did I ever suggest to anyone that their opinion was not wanted or invalid, and my arguments are meant to provoke more intelligent responses to this discussion. I am completely open to well-articulated opinions that differ from mine.

If you can't take an opinion that doesn't agree with yours, you have no place in an episode discussion. It's honestly a pity that there aren't more people who understand how intelligent discussion works.

A2ZOMG said:
And I'll go back to noteDhero's argument. It's perfectly fine if you react emotionally, say I suck, am a troll, etc, because it only proves that I'm more right, and that the show is indefensible.

I much prefer people who actually have legitimate arguments against my opinion though.

it fucking blows my mind that most people who hate on psg for being STUPID AND UNFUNNY are also watching ika musume.

psg is dumb as hell, but it's so much funnier than ika musume. goddamn moefags.

1-31 said:

Sure.
*Winds up for a slap, sends palm flying @11km/s*

Act IV, Scene Troll.
[Stage Left. Enter 1-31 and A2ZOMG.]

1-31's palm nears A2ZOMG. 1-31 realizes mid-swing that although A2ZOMG has a differing opinion to his regarding the currently discussed series, A2ZOMG provides well-reasoned as well as more mature opinions than 1-31.

'Tis much he dares;
And to that dauntless temper of his adolescent angst
He hath an overzealous fanboyism that doth guide his
Ego to post in immaturity.
There is none but he whose being I do loath,
And under him my face is palmed
As it is said many fans' were by 4Kids' dubs.

1-31 redirects his palm toward 1-31. 1-31 is struck.

End Act IV, Scene Troll.

~~~~~~

Fixed

Isn't it awesome to see people trying so desperately to defend their favorite show?

garfield15 said:

Is that not what fans are supposed to do?

Though we could do without the slapping script or whatever.

puchacamilo said:
i think just, this is (like a part of this series) a tribute of some american animation... its like the chapter of the powerpuff girls, when the girls need to go to other city, where all is real and sad (murder, bills, etc)... isn't? =B

1-31 said:

Seriously, is that the best you can do?

I love watching PSG, I really do. It's one of my fav series this season. It's just that your holier-than-thou attitude has me pissed off to the point of fanboyism-friendly-fire posting. This forum's meant for people to express their opinions and generate discussion, not for people to flame each other over 'This show is t3h bestestest!!1!' or 'This show is fucking shit!' They all count as people's opinions. Some may choose to or not to elaborate on why they feel that way. Do you think the rest of us PSG fans don't feel at least slightly annoyed when people bash the show? This is the Internet, hon. If you can't stand the butthurt, get out or get some lube.

K9001 said:


I think you are missunderstanding

I like the show, never say "I dont like it" or something like that, in fact is the first time i post in this "Topic" saying "Good ep 4/5"

Plz read from page 1 all the post from A2ZOMG, all what he does is comment in a annoying way and smashing the comment of other users, trolling all the post he do.

Siva said:
With a valid point, yes. Other than that, no(as you can see above). Being a good fan is one thing, and being a blindly fan is another thing. I am not saying anyone who likes PSG suck or brainless but if I find something wrong with the show I have the right to say so too, right?

Honestly, I have my own favorite shitty show too and you can bash it however you want as long as you are right.

A good show should meet its purpose consistently and effectively.

A2ZOMG said:
I personally find it funny that people strongly believe this show is as simple as love it or hate it.

garfield15 said:

You're like the only person I've ever heard who has a mixed reaction to it so...yeah, that's clearly been my mindset.

A2ZOMG said:

My opinion of this show is mixed. On the one hand I can definitely appreciate good things like the art style, the more creative applications of said art style, and the voice acting.

It's just that the creative applications of the art style are literally all the show has going for it, and basically without that, that's when the show is mediocre. And it's basically been 50/50 between creative and uncreative streaks.

Of course, they tried to do something different in part 2 of episode 5 by telling something of a story that had some kind of meta-joke, but I personally thought that they presented poorly by virtue of just bad storytelling (taking too long over details that didn't matter, not properly developing plot elements to keep the story clear and intact).

And the thing is, there are definitely shows that do gross humor MUCH better than this show. South Park in specific. South Park is actually funny and consistently creative. P&S quite frankly isn't funny and is only creative about half the time. Whether you're consciously aware of it or not, there are in fact real standards for how all types of humor work.

And trying to argue that P&S is somehow avoiding standards is nonsense. "Avoiding" standards is still in direct reference to them or can be classified in itself as a distinct logical purpose. It doesn't matter what type of show it is. A good show should meet its purpose consistently and effectively.

A2ZOMG said:
And your response is relevant how? This has nothing to do with me. The point is I am expecting more intelligent discussion about this series, which has divided viewer opinions.

forksinablender said:


After that's done, we can have intelligent conversation between the people split in their opinions over the movie Freddy Got Fingered.

My point is: Besides maybe the second half of this episode, there's not much to discuss , because this is a series inspired by American cartoon designs and styles, offering only slapstick, extreme shock value, and mindless entertainment. Sure, there's more sophisticated depictions of aforementioned slapstick and shock in American cartoons like South Park, but I doubt Gainax was aiming for consistency or sophistication in plot or character beyond two depraved angels fighting bodily fluid monsters to regain entrance into Heaven.
I think GAINAX was in the mood to have fun with a small budget and I can 'sense' that they're having it with this series.

Also, expectations are not always met. You reiterating your points in hopes of generating 'intelligent discussion' over an anime series whose creators clearly have no intention of proving a point, but to simply have 'fun' reads as you beating a dead horse.
You're reading too much into this series.

I don't think it's "that" small. There have been some unbelievably well-animated scenes in this.
