Polyester and Polyurethane showing up this episode just made this show more spicy. This was some funny shit with the character rivalries.

A multi eyed horse also showed up to make the episode even more strange. Panty and Stocking still proved they were the superior pair in the end. Well played!

Previous episode makes me doubt the future of Panty and Stock but this episode makes me a believer again. I should have never doubt in the first place.

The highlight is, of course, the addition of new two male angels. I always question myself why me, a hardcore BL fan, still watch anime with prominently sexy female characters, and this episode is my salvation. I hope there'll be doujinshi about them ASAP. Oh, I like how Garterbelt try to enter their car, possibly aiming to do something to them in "his own way" but sadly those male angels seem to know Garterbelt's intention and close the door immediately.

Luckily this won't be the last of their appearance.

@Mr_Sai While I get how you feel, I think they did an ok job to replicate their speech. Japan also has slang used by young gen of teens so I don't see the problem with localizing it, nor is it pandering if it's accurate.

A full episode!

Luckily, I was afforded generous opportunity to wash my eyes after seeing those angel boys. Much love to the baddie newcomer, Gunsmith Bitch. Combat was a clusterfuck, and literally everyone in Daten City is a ghost, apparently. Roll them all up in a ball, and... Na na-na-na na-na na na na-na na na-na na... The cursed Scanty and Kneesocks horse can go in the mascot hall of fame.

I didn’t like season 1 I only rated it a 4 and I was a little confused on why I still decided to watch this season despite the fact and this episode defiently made me realize why. I think when P&S isn’t as episodic is where it really shines. (Esp since I don’t find P&S funny) I loved the new angels and people having tantrums that their using slang is so funny bc that is literally the point💀 they repeated again and again that they are newgen angels. They are supposed to be annoying, they are only centered around how they are new and modern, that’s why they have high tech gadgets, make fun of panty and stocking for being “old” and use slang in every sentence.

(Also gunsmith best character) (also I loved the new outfits)

Loved the references to Gunsmith Cats and They Live. Can't wait to see more of the Plastic Boys! I wonder if they have their own Chuck too.

Great idea! I really can't wait for every show to have 9: Ruler's Crown type of awful MTL subs that are absolutely incomprehensible. That'll be fun!

Although I do find kinda annoying how dialogues are sometimes "americanized" (translator takes a bit too much freedom when translating and rather uses a more American expression, in place of the original Japanese sentence. Most notable with Panty's lines ("iPad kids" from this episode is the only example that comes to mind, although partly justified for the reasons I'll explain next)), the use of Gen Z slang was totally justified here. As the other user has already pointed out, Japan has its own slang, and you can't really translate that. The best you can do is adapt it using the language's you're translating to own slang. I suppose that they could have used translator notes, but those are considered unprofessional and never used.

It's not cringe, and it's definitely not pandering (how the fuck would that even attract more, younger viewers?), It's literally how they talk. The issue is that it's Japanese slang, so you wouldn't have understood a word of it. A translator's job is to take the anime and put it into words that people who don't speak the original language can understand. If you don't like that, then you should discard subs altogether and start learning Japanese.

To drive the point home, I'll now write an idiom from my native language, and a literal translation next to it. Localization will be in the spoiler. Let me know if you correctly guess what it means!

amazon subs was the shit that stained this masterpiece of an episode.

love the gunsmith bitch, great addition.

and the upgraded forms of the main cast was great.

I also love the 3d cars sequences, very reminiscent of the previous fight they had with the demons.

This episode was so peak, new male angels, new black bitch gunsmitch girl, expansion on the lore of the angelology and demonology of the series, we learned that the angel names of panty and stocking are pantiel and stockiel and their parents are the monarchs of heaven and they have an uncle called Ramiel. AND HOLY SHIT 2 NEW TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCES. And i can't emphasize this enough the black gyaru weapon dealer girl is so super sexy.

This show really makes fun of everything. Making fun of the Backstreet Boys. and Gen Z nepo babies. Also cool Gunsmith Cats reference. Maybe there will be a episode where Brief tried to go for Gunsmith Bitch and Panty gets jealous. Also the end credit scene sets up the finale. It’s obvious the poly brothers are going to be the main end game villains like how the Demon sisters were in season 1.

That's wrong, the main end game villain in season 1 was corset not the demon sisters.

@KidK my thoughts as well, it fit the new characters well.

honestly i didn't really notice it and it got a laugh out of me when i noticed it, but generally i don't think it really interfered with the episode. Together with the introduction of Scanty and Kneesocks, those are my favorite episodes now

Wow this show just gets better and better. Introducing some interesting new character, great visuals, top tier OSTs and amazing animations. Almost felt like a finale.

I see they've cranked the brain rot subs with the new brothers, kinda enjoyed the joke to be fair.

Hopefully this level of quality continues for the rest of the season

Such an amazing episode this felt like something akin to season 1. New characters showing up reeking havoc, and a new threat is introduced and will be playing a part later in the season. Hell yeah!!

I love the new gen z angels the dialogue in this episode was hilarious. The action was incredible, and the new worldbuilding for this show is interesting.

Love how we're seeing the angel and demon crew hating each other but getting along.

This episode was absolutely brilliant, I don't even know where to begin. The brothers were the highlight of the episode but to me the new P&S and S&K transformation. Love Gunsmith Bitch and her attitude, nice to see some lore drop about the weapons and the hierarchy of Heaven.

Polyurethane and Polyester are some cocky angels, love them instantly. Their transformation was even better than I imagined, nice to see them having some actual muscles too.

I think this episode will be hard to top, it was just too damn good. Still, I look forward to whatever this new lore might bring us in the remaining episodes.

@KidK Dude I'm gen z and I thought the slang they used every sentence was hilarious. It's an over the top comedy show and unironically this was the most I've laughed in an episode. Also not a bad idea for worldbuilding in this show, showing that Panty and Stocking have annoying gen z cousins.

@Revy13_ I forget the exact details from last season, but they definitely confirmed Panty and STocking are basically princesses of heaven and I think the giant sexy foot that came in to beat Garter is supposed to be their mom, which works in the same line of lore development

@Revy13_ Not sure we need to worry about her being tempted by anything but guns, given how she dismissed Panty quickly and then did some "maintenance" on the gun behind the curtain

This brings back Promare vibes. Top-notch quality episode, possibly the best of both seasons at the time of writing this. When they fully focus on one premise and plot, they really know how to shine. How many anime look or feel like this nowadays? Not many.

Imaishi’s SBs this season have been pretty tame, so I was cautious when I saw his name in the credits. But this turned out to be one of the best episodes in the whole franchise. The B-part especially was nonstop over-the-top madness, the moment the OP started I instantly hyped. The new music worked great here, and in this B-part overall.

The first two cuts of the new angels’ transformation were also really cool. The switch from Panty & Stocking’s usual sharp cartoon look to their horny forms is so smooth, nice work Yonemai. Preservative siblings, you were worth the wait. Y'all made up for easily the best episode of the season.

That episode was GREAT! I’d been wondering when we’d finally meet the new twinks, and by episode 6, we already did. Plus, this transformation was unique, it’s the first time they strip off both their tops and bottoms. Technically, since they take off their shirts, pants, and (for a split second) their underwear, something we don’t see but the angel and demon sitters probably do, they’re technically naked for that brief moment. haha :D

The angel and demon sisters new transformation was literally so sexy and cool!!!
