Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt/YMMV


 * Ass Pull:
 * Crack Pairing: Garter/ in episode 11.
 * Crazy Awesome: Every single millisecond of this anime counts as this.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome:
 * Samples here.
 * The soundtrack as a whole is simply awesome, but the Ending Theme of Episode 10 takes the cake. THIS is how music videos should look like. Complete with pop culture references to other music videos.
 * Beverly Hills Cock aka the music that plays whenever the girls are about to do something insanely Badass.
 * All three character themes are driven, catchy electronic dance beats and were--for good reason--the only songs fans were bothering to remix before the OST was released.
 * Just listen to Scanty and Kneesocks' version IN REVERSE.
 * Corset Theme, a bass-heavy, crazy, styling-on-you villain song if there ever was one.
 * Ear Worm:
 * FLY AWAY NOW! FLY AWAY NOW! FLY AWAAAAAAY!. The full version from the OST here.
 * Panty-Stocking! Panty Panty Stocking Ooh~!
 * Clap your hands! Clap your hands! Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap your hands!
 * Heaven, please sing for me a song of life...
 * Anarchy! Everyone wants to be me!
 * Fuck you, bitch!!
 * I want yo~ou to make believe it's the first ti~ime...
 * RRRRRRRRRRRRURU
 * CHOCOLAT CHOCOLAT~
 * Technodildo
 * Yeah, you could go with pretty much any song on the soundtrack.
 * The soundtrack has been released! Rejoice, my friends, rejoice!
 * Ensemble Darkhorse:
 * Scanty and Kneesocks, given how quickly high quality fanart was produced for them after the episode they were introduced aired.
 * This also applies in-universe. They quickly win-over the school, and in "If The Angels Wore Swimsuits", there's a lot more bets for them winning the volleyball match than the angels.
 * Also, Brief surprisingly for the same reason. The bunny outfit might have helped.
 * Amongst each sisterly pair, Stocking and Kneesocks seem to be more popular than Panty and Scanty. This probably has to due with Stocking and Kneesocks having more moe traits than the other two.
 * Evil Is Sexy: Scanty and Kneesocks' Transformation Sequence.
 * Fan Discontinuity: One way some people deal with the obligatory post-credits Gainax Ending is to disregard it altogether, treating the scenes throughout the end credits as the true ending since they give some amount of closure to events that took place in the past few episodes. It goes like this: . Talk about an Ass Pull...
 * Fan Dumb: Following the events of "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City", message boards were quick to accuse Stocking of being a slut.  Not that Stocking is the epitome of purity herself, but calling her a slut based upon her falling in love with the gross ghost is kind of missing the point.
 * Fandom Gank: The ending left fans in tears, when
 * Growing the Beard: In the two episodes up to the (sadistic) Cliff Hanger finale. Fortunately another season promises to cure Lostalgia.
 * Holy Shit Quotient: A legitimate and appropriate response to some of the stuff that goes on.
 * Hype Aversion: There are those who will never even give the show a chance because of the constant praise of what they only see as Hentai, as well as those who tried it due to the praise and still didn't like it.
 * Memetic Mutation:
 * FLY AWAY NOW, FLY AWAY NOW, FLY AWAAAAAY
 * Rule="RRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUULLUUUUU"
 * "But that's against the rurus!"
 * --tte oi! WAT DA FAK!?
 * DIETO!?
 * AAAAAANAAARCHYYYYYYYY
 * GOD MY OH!
 * MY BODY WASN'T READY!
 * Since it came out, it became popular to draw other characters in the art style of this anime.
 * GAINAX RUINED CHRISTMAS!
 * Fly Away goes with everything.
 * Memetic Sex God: Let's just say after episode 12, many, many people have made this.
 * Nausea Fuel: In "The Buzz of the Beehive", it's implied that Panty does not know what a condom is. You have to wonder, with as much sex as she has on a daily basis (and her seemingly non-existent standards) that she would be a veritable cesspool of venereal disease...however, according to Word of God, "angels don't get fat, grow old or get sick". If the girls don't return to Heaven they'll become humans and be unable to maintain their lifestyles without some serious side-effects, which explains their motivations.
 * Nightmare Fuel:
 * Briefly seeing Stocking so... bony in "The Diet Syndrome".
 * is somewhat creepy.
 * Offscreen Moment of Awesome: We never get to see Garterbelt's battle with.
 * Straw Man Has a Point: Most of what the Daemon sisters say about Panty and Stocking is true.
 * Probably not an actual example, considering that Panty & Stocking being colossal bitches is both deliberate and a large part of the humor. Having the villains point it out is just part of the joke.
 * Squick:
 * The entire "The Runny" episode, but bonus points for the part where Stocking blows a huge snotball from Panty right up Oscar H. Genius' nose. UGH.
 * The Panty & Stocking in Sanitarybox shorts from the volume 5 release are nasty.
 * Prickles. That is all.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Almost the entirety of "Vomiting Point". You can't just sit through watching the poor guy's life without shedding some tears.
 * You would hardly expect a legitimate Tear Jerker from a show like this, but Gainax manages to deliver one in "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City".
 * Panty + Brief. In a good way.
 * This troper got a little misty in episode 13 when spoiler: Garterbelt died the first time. Brief's [[Inelegant Blubbering over him did not help.
 * This Is Your Premise on Drugs: Bayonetta meets Futari wa Pretty Cure meets Powerpuff Girls on pot.
 * Another one is Invader Zim meets Powerpuff Girls at a strip club on acid.
 * True Art Is Incomprehensible: Chuck to the Future Part 3, which steps right into Mind Fuck territory.
 * Ugly Cute: The Gonk version of Stocking.
 * Uncanny Valley: "Vomiting Point" features character designs that are...........creepy to say the least. They are, of course, interestingly similar to the style of Tekkon Kinkreet.
 * Villain Decay: Remember Les Diaboliques, when Scanty and Kneesocks were actually a very real threat? Immediately they came down with Team Rocketitis the next episode. They even went so far as to use a Paper-Thin Disguise for that episode! It's almost like they intended for that... wait a damn second... They became a whole lot more threatening again in Panty + Brief.
 * What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: In fact it was. According to an interview, the concept for the show came up during a Gainax company party when the whole staff was pretty drunk.
 * The Woobie:
 * The old man from "Vomiting Point." Poor guy.
 * Brief. Poor, poor Brief.
 * Brief. Poor, poor Brief.
