| Been so long since this aired but I think Trigger did a great job capturing the magic of the anime again. Nice to see some familiar characters back especially Panty and Stocking. Panty in particular had some cute scenes in just this first episode. Even Kneesocks is back! Brief is the hero this anime deserves even though he's such a nerd. Soundtrack is fire. But seriously, this gave back a feeling of old school nostalgia. Bring on more! |

| MANNNNNN, I was already feeling the nostalgia with Grand Blue and Bunny Girl, BUT THIS, THIS IS THE REAL SHIT. The recap was cool, I mean, it has been well over a decade. But right after that, we're thrown straight back into it with Panty getting cut to pieces and Stocking being "a demon." Yeah, as expected, that turned out to be just some little demon taking over her brain. Which, in true PSG fashion, somehow ends up with someone turning into a damn kaiju and terrorizing the city. Seriously, at this point, I just feel bad for the residents of Daten City, these two wreck the place every other episode. And this time, it's back-to-back lmao. But yeah, they put Panty back together, though not before we get a bit of tsundere Panty, which was a nice touch. Then the whole gang comes together to put the final piece back, which, surprise surprise, was her vagina lol. And just like that, she and Stocking are back with that chaotic banter we all missed and loved. And God, that whole fight sequence was FUCKING AMAZING. So damn good to see TRIGGER back. And just like that, we’re back to normal, and right where we left off. MAN I missed this show. Honestly, this felt more like episode 14 than a season premiere lol, but whatever. The real chaos kicks off next week, but for now, let it be known: THE BITCHES ARE BACK, BABY! |

| Feel bad for all the people who had to wait for over 15 years but it's back, it left on a cliffhanger over 15 years ago and the girls are back. That fight was beautiful, the animation is trigger at their peak again even tho Gainax is gone, a lot of the same staff are back. |

| It's been 15 years... I'm glad they went all out, especially since this kind of explicit content has been getting censored a lot in the past few years 5/5. Make 10 seasons like you promised before, Imaishi! |

| THE BITCHES ARE BACK |
| Best anime this season and only my opinion matters. |
That glow-up... It's so good to see them in such high quality, they really delivered. The music kicks ass, visuals and animation are really good, jokes and "WTF?-ness" are on point. This is, like, the greatest season premiere ever, to me it felt like the End of Evangelion of Panty & Stocking. With a bit of Episode 26 sprinkled in lol. Just fantastic Edit: spoilered the images because they took too up too much place |

| Anime of the decade |
| Anime is so back… |
| Holy shit it's been so long I'd forgotten about the legendary meme ending of the original series lol, that's one hell of a place to resume from This is one hell of a throwback though, really fun to see this back again after all these years |
  |
| THE BITCHES ARE BACKKKKK |
| Rolling out of a meh Spring season and into one of the hottest Summer seasons ever (literally too), the biggest cliffhanger in anime history has finally resolved. And we're already set up with a new one into next week lol. Hot damn we even got a Fly Away remix and lots of best girl Kneesocks too. |
Another masterpiece is on the menù for Summer season 2025, thankfully I didn't have to wait 15 years for this work of art because I checked it out a few months ago, it was the best fucking decision in recent years.  It's kind of cursed looking at this show in 1080p but I love it, it makes it look more clear and vibrant, and Trigger delivers with fast paced action scenes. More of this please, the two crazy bitches are back! |

  MAL is the perfect place to shit talk about people's opinions. |
| Welcome back...just fucking welcome back. This was a great way to re-introduce yourself. The new dub cast is pretty damn good. We get Cristina Vee as Stocking. I'll need to look up the others. |
| I got a Masters degree. I don't have to worry bout school anymore. |
| Just as batshit as I remember. Visuals are on point. Felt the chills of experiencing that intense fight scene, the despair when Stocking inevitably gains weight from eating all those buildings. I needed these angels. |

| Holy fucking shit, what a time to be alive. After like 15 years, we finally got it, the next season. Legit Panty just missing her vagina and they giving zero fucks about showing it (in cube form). It's been too long so I can't tell if the soundtrack is new mixes of past songs or just the same past songs but so good to hear again. |
| brief being heartbroken that panty is a moe anime girl is so fucking funny |
| I still can't believe it is real, 15 years since that cliffhanger, the animation and art style were as good as I remember, I had the biggest smile while watching it, we are so back. I missed Stocking so much. |
kimberlypine said: LOVED IT, bit disappointed they recast jamie and monica but the new ones sound good too of course they got recast considering their modern day views on things Production probably wanted to avoid needless drama as well |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| we are so back y'all |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Even a shitpost anime needs to have a shred of coherence that ties everything together. The whole conclusion to Stocking becoming a devil feels so jam fisted in the very last minute (come on Imaishi, you guys had whole 15 years to come up with a good explanation, not some dumb asspull). This continuation to such a cliffhanger from 15 years ago feels lackluster and driven by nothing else but convenience and the need to reset everything to the old status quo (plus 2 demons). To an extent it felt as empty as Nokotan anime, though I'll have to admit even the first episode of Nokotan was legit funny, on the other hand nothing in this premiere felt funny or simply entertaining to me. |

| Well that was freaking hilarious, I'm glad it feels like the same energy and the nothing off-limits style of the original series, it doesn't feel toned down at all (the carrying of Panty's v*gina cracked me up so much lol) It also looks great! Really looking forward to the rest of this season! |
| Based Triggachad just can't stop saving anime. |
| Love seeing my favorite sleazy angels and petty demons back, it was definitely worth the wait. The animation looks as vibrant as usual, hope we get to see revamped versions of the transformation scenes too. As for the dubbing, I watched the original in Japanese but tried the new English dub, seems okay enough but wasn't as sassy as I would've expected. The Latam Spanish dub is pretty meh too, didn't like the voice actresses for the demon sisters at all. |

| Had a lot of fun with this one. I didn't particularly dig the original show that much but this one had a pretty strong start that had me hooked. The post-credit scene in particular. |
 "A name... Toru Rikiishi" |
| I was a little iffy on the animation at first, but they pulled me back in. And the show is still super funny. Freaking love the new ending song. |
| The animation has remained charming and absolutely fun to watch! Hopefully the humor will continue to be ridiculously raunchy XD So glad to see it back, episode 1 definitely has me excited for the next episodes!!! |

| @Kimurah took a gag anime seriously award |
| Crazy show, but definitely fun. Reminds me a lot of early 2000's cartoon network shows. Final scene had me laughing a lot with the main antagonist being run over multiple times. Definitely seems heavily western cartoon inspired. Also I didn't realize this was a sequel... might need to go back and watch season 1. |

5/5. Make 10 seasons like you promised before, Imaishi!
