Story: The story of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is basically about two Angels named Panty and Stocking who go around and destroy ghosts in order to gain Heaven Coins. Through out the series, the various events happen and the over arcing story is kind of lost but thats fine. Also, the weapons that the main two use are Panty using her panty as a gun, and Stocking using her stockings as a blade. How silly is that lol. Aside from that, there is not much else to say about the story itself.
Art: This is one where some will like it or hate it. The art style is unique to anime IMO, but the art style is very similar to some old cartoons I watched as a kid on cartoonnetwork. There are certain parts where the art takes on a more realistic form and the characters look very nice. The setting of the show has a very whimsical sort of feel and things have very sharp edges and curvy points.
Sound: The music is what kept me going because of how catchy and funky it was. Just listen to Fly Away from the OST or watch half of the first episode and you will hear it when Panty and Stocking are transforming. If you like electronic type of style and tracks with good downbeats,then you should like the music here. Also, there are many songs that are used from other films like Rocky and Space Odyssey 2001 or are very slightly altered to avoid copyright issues. Strong point for the series.
Characters: This is another part that will make or break the show for people. The main two characters are basically very very sleazy girls who bang a ton of guys, especially Panty since Stocking has a slight bit better sense of taste and is not as open as Panty is. They also swear a LOT, and I mean a LOT, and not just things like shit or damn, but like flat out, f bombs and other very suggestive things as well. To me, it was over the top and got stale, but at times, it was right on and funny. Still, its not common to hear that sort of language too often.
Enjoyment: Personally, I kept watching because of the music, the lewd jokes that I could partially relate to, and the outrageousness of the whole show. There are times where it was annoying and I would skip a bit just to get past an annoying scene or two, but outside of that, it was funny from beginning to the end.
Overall: If you can handle the very strong coarse language and the overwhelming amount of penis and sex jokes in general, then you should give this a shot. If anything, watch the first episode and wait til the transformation scene. And since I rarely rarely consider watching the dub for shows, Ill also add that the dub version of this show, is very well done. Language seems to be even more over the top, but the voice actors nailed the roles pretty well, even the small characters.
