One >> Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt

(watched 4/1/13)

This has to be the most adorable, filthy thing I've ever watched.

Seriously.

Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt is drawn in a style reminiscent of The Powerpuff Girls or Dexter's Laboratory. But the subject matter ...

The subject matter is so far from those cartoons it isn't even in the same stratosphere.

I have never heard the "f" word used so many times in an animated show before. Especially not coming from adorable little chibi mouths.

Basically Panty and Stocking is about two fallen angels who fight ghosts, eat sweets, mouth off, and have lots and lots and LOTS of sex.

Lots and lots of sex.

This show is ridiculously adult, though you never actually see any of the sexy shenanigans going on (it isn't hentai after all). But the language, the subject matter ...

Even the power ups for the angels are just barely this side of too inappropriate for television. They even include stripper poles.

Stripper poles!

The angels fight poop monsters and demon possessed cars and high school bitch queens and their own baser impulses, and they do it with smiles on their faces (basically) and magical weapons (made from their underpants and stockings no less) and filthy running commentary.

Filthy. Believe me.

Panty and Stocking with Garter Belt is delightfully over the top and hilariously fun to watch. I can understand now why it is such a popular cosplay option when I go to conventions. I'll admit I've even been toying around with the idea of cosplaying one of them next Sakuracon ...
