Line 12:
* Considering that {{spoiler|Stocking was reluctant of going to heaven until Panty thought up the "tube towards heaven" ordeal, was more than willing to marry a ghost (though it unwittingly sent him to heaven) and that she is guilty of gluttony, without taking in account she has admitted lusting and fornicating, which would send her back to Daten City as much as Panty was rejected for having sex indiscriminately, it's actually plausible that Stocking was a demon in disguise all along, or at least was made a demon along the way}}.
 
== Panty and Stocking are actually [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Twilight and Applejack]] in an alternate [[Alternate Universe|universe]]/[[Alternate Continuity|continuity]] ==
* Just watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8djg8H0yzM this video].
** You're not the only one who thinks the same idea. In fact, the whole American and Japanese fandom will explode if [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] gets dubbed to Japanese and both [[Arisa Ogasawara|Panty]] and [[Mariya Ise|Stocking]]'s voice actresses dubs both Applejack and Twilight Sparkle respectively.
 
== The second season will be titled ''Panty VS Stocking with Garterbelt"'' ==
 
== Future Episodes will Parody: ==
* Ninja
* American Fast Food chains
Line 35:
Makes perfect sense, according to Episode 6. Plus, that would explain all the Ghosts appearing only in Daten City (with Little Tokyo as an exception).
* That actually ''does'' make sense via [[Fridge Brilliance]]. Daten City is a pun on fallen angel, and Satan (well, Lucifer) is mainly known for his fall from grace. Of course, that leaves the question of exactly who or what Garterbelt would be, considering the mayor seems to know him from way before...
** [[Arch AngelArchangel Michael]] Maybe?
* Maybe not quite Satan... but [[Powerpuff Girls|Him]].
* Given the [[Theme Naming]] of the Heros and Villains of the show, My best guess would be Knickers.
** But wouldn't that be Brief's [[Evil Counterpart]]? That is, unless...
*** ...Unless [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Brief is secretly an archangel]]?!?!
**** I say he is Batman after all Scanty and Kneesocks limo SUV and their armbands have the bat symbol on them.
* Maybe he's Corset from the OST. ...[[Squick]] at the implications of that.
** I wouldn't be surprised. After all, he (she?) has been presented as Garterbelt's [[Evil Counterpart]] and both a corset and a belt are something you tie around your body. Both are also used to keep something in check - belts for men to keep their pants up (pracmatic clothing) and corsets for women to tie their waists thin (estetic clothing) - much like a boss keeps tabs on his/her underlings.
Line 48:
 
== (Jossed) Brief will have a [[Face Heel Turn]] ==
Scanty and Kneesocks will [[Invoked Trope|attempt]] to get him to go to turn him to the dark side. [[Super -Powered Evil Side|Besides]] [[Chew Toy|the obvious]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|benefits,]] It would also be a good way to give Panty a [[Heroic BSOD]], and some [[Character Development]] into [[Jerkass|less of a bitch.]] Hopefully, if it ''does'' happen, [[Redemption Equals Death|It won't end the]] [[Tear Jerker|way it usually does.]]
* It could also make Scanty and Kneesocks [[Ensemble Darkhorse|(or at least Kneesocks)]] have a [[Heel Face Turn]]. The mayor could easily just directly recruit him as a replacement, probably due to the demon sisters' incompetence, and make him into something ''both'' sides will be afraid of. [[Even Evil Has Standards]], you know.
** This will probably never come to be, but it seems the [[Heroic BSOD]] and [[Character Development]] have already come into effect nonetheless.
Line 77:
 
== All the people are dead in Daten City. ==
* Just think about it, angels that protect the souls of departed people, the ghost will be souls of people who just died, and the demons will try to take that souls to hell
** That would certainly explain why there's a city between Heaven and Hell in the first place - it's Purgatory.
*** So does that mean [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|Panty and Stocking are...?]] If so, then they're not doing a very good job.
Line 84:
* It's well known that Japanese anime fans want their [[Memetic Mutation|waifus]] to be virgins (case in point: [[Kannagi]] [[Fan Dumb]]). It's also well known that many American fans are obsessed with the generic anime style, drawing anything from Western shows to actual people in a style that they think is better than the original (see [[Deviant ART]]). What's the best way to mess with the heads of both? Make an anime in a Western style, explicitly stating that the main characters aren't pure.
** BEST WMG.
** True or not, [[Panty and& Stocking Withwith Garterbelt (Anime)|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]] has certainly succeeded in screwing with [[Fan Dumb]]. [[Studio Gainax|Gainax]] as usual.
 
== There is a reason [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|Panty and Stocking]] remain angels. ==
Line 96:
To troll the people expecting a [[Gainax Ending]]
* To be fair, considering how the series is, ''any'' ending they choose would be a [[Gainax Ending]].
* Who knows? i'm pretty sure that when the sister's fight [[The Big Bad|the mayor]] there will be an over long speech about how the ghost existence is all human's fault. [[Shut UP, Hannibal|and blah blah blah]]
* This WMG has been [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|Jossed. So. HARD.]]
** This troper begs to disagree. Episode 13 keeps getting labeled as a [[Gainax Ending]], when everyone seems to fail to take into account that there's a Season 2 coming. It's more like a Cliffhanger or a sudden plot twist. Calling this a Gainax Ending would be like saying [[Gurren Lagann]] ended after Lordgenome's defeat.
*** I agree in disagreeing but disagree as well. Until we get a flat out official statement, it's all just extented trolling and maybes. That said, the ending, up until the "epilogue", very well DID end just like the original WMG predicted.
* Well, when you assume that the episode ends with the credits roll and everything happening in the stinger is just a non-canon omake (and it certainly will be forgotten in the beginning of season 2 considering what kind of stupid plot hook it is) you are left with a pretty normal "Good pwns evil and everyone rejoices" happy end.
 
== In a coming episode, they will parody the mecha's genre ==
Line 117:
== (Jossed) Garterbelt is an angel. ==
He's gay, and therefore was exiled from Heaven. He directs Panty and Stocking instead of collecting Heaven Coins so that he doesn't go to Hell.
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]. He was exiled for being a pedophile, perhaps?
** Strictly speaking, while that's certainly the joke, he's not a pedophile, or hasn't been portrayed as such. He's only drooled over high school boys of indeterminate age. Gay, yes, but ephebophile at worst (ie, attracted to teenagers). Not only that, but... people really don't get ''too'' bent out of shape about adults appreciating the beauty of teenagers. If they did, anime girls, schoolgirl outfits, and barely legal porn would be much bigger deals. I mean outside of Australia, that is.
* If Garterbelt's journal (shown in the most recent episode as of this writing) is true, then he's even cooler than an angel: he's an ex-gangster who, after his death, was returned to earth by God to the beginning of time as an immortal to fulfill a grand, mysterious, and currently undefined mission.
Line 145:
The preview for the OST has a track called "Corset Theme" and Scanty and Kneesocks theme is called... "Theme for Scanty & Kneesocks"... Put the two together and yeah. Who knows, maybe it'll be like a final boss or something.
* I already mentioned it someplace else, but it wouldn't be to much of a stretch to assume Corset is the mayor... unless they pull a fast one on us, of course.
* Considering all the theories that Brief is an angel in disguise...[[Tomato in Thethe Mirror|maybe that's his real name?]]
* In any case, it ''has'' to be a [[Transformation Sequence]] theme. It's just way too similar to "Fly Away" and "Theme for Scanty & Kneesocks".
* This troper noticed that while "Fly Away Now" is high-pitched - well, more so than Scanty & Kneesocks' theme - and Scanty & Kneesocks' theme has deep-sounding vocals, "Corset Theme" is more in between. Maybe "Corset" is a character that is on neither side? Neutral?
Line 162:
** Well, that explains [[Vagina Dentata|her shape]]...
*** And her little brain devil was a girl ...
** While we're at it, {{spoiler|[[Buffy -Speak|The two brain things]] [[But We Used a Condom|didn't appear to use any protection,]] [[Your Tomcat Is Pregnant|so...]]}}
 
== Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City was created with the intention of [[Take That|mocking]] the stereotypical [[Otaku]] ==
* Male otaku have a lot of unpleasant stereotypes associated with them. According to stereotype, they are ugly, unpleasant to be around, have horrible social skills and [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|are incapable of finding mutual love]]. They also often [[Perverse Sexual Lust|lust after female anime characters]], and a behavior commonly associated with them is to claim their favorite to be their "wife". The seriousness of the claim can range from being a simple exaggeration used to express how much they love the character to, well... Seriousness. Some of the loonier ones ([[Vocal Minority|which tend to contribute more to the stereotype]]) are seriously in mad love with their "wife", and don't seem to consider the barrier between reality and fiction nor whether or not the object of their affections would actually love them back if they existed (if stereotypes hold true in this situation, they more than likely would not). Although nothing points to him being an otaku, [[This Loser Is You|the ghost in this episode]] is [[Department of Redundancy Department|ugly, unpleasant to be around, has horrible social skills and is incapable of finding mutual love]] (well, prior to the episode anyway in regards to the last one). Stocking is very popular among otaku, more so than her sister. Despite being about the last person that anyone would fall for, Stocking ends up falling in love at first sight with the ghost anyway. Although this can be interpreted as being [[Wish Fulfillment]] based on this description alone, it should be noted that the episode makes it quite clear that Stocking has some seriously seriously messed up tastes in men. Pretty much the entire city reacts to him like you would expect most people to, and they mock Stocking for willingly going out with him. [[Laconic Wiki|In short]], the episode mocks the stereotypical otaku by pairing up [[This Loser Is You|someone who fits the stereotype to the bill]] with a favorite target of Otaku [[Perverse Sexual Lust|perverse sexual lust]], and then [[Lampshade Hanging|pointing out how unrealistic the scenario is]].
* More likely it was about that you can defeat ghosts without weapons and that even so called otakus are as human as others and deserve to be loved.
** Considering the nature of the show, [[This Loser Is You|it is more likely the former]].
*** Considering the nature of Gainax, it could very well be all of those things, at once.
 
== Basing in a [[WMG]] from above, an episode will give us [[Actor Allusion|Actor Allusions]]s and [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|to a certain Sunrise's anime.]] ==
[[Hiroyuki Yoshino|Brief]] [[Falling Into the Cockpit|will end up piloting by accident]] a [[Transforming Mecha]] and will gain/reveal a [[Jerkass]] and mean [[Split Personality|alternate personality]] that will lead to a lot of events that will make [[Arisa Ogasawara|Panty]] begin to have feelings towards Brief.
 
Line 199:
** How so? Corset is not Brief, and definitely not an angel. Therefore the WMG is Jossed.
 
== Scanty and Kneesocks are really [[Ascended Demon|Ascended Demons]]s. ==
Going by the logic that Panty and Stocking got kicked out of heaven for being too chaotic (and of course assuming that demonkind is [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]]), Scanty and Kneesocks got kicked out of hell for being too lawful. Their mission of causing Daten City to be overrun by Ghosts is to prove that they're really evil enough to return to hell, even in spite of being a sucker for [[Memetic Mutation|RRRRUUURRRUU]].
 
== (Semi-Confirmed) Corset's weapon will be a [[Big Fancy Sword|BFS]] ==
Line 210:
**** Moreover, he wraps them in his bondage straps to make them into swords. Not exactly the same thing, but similar.
 
== [[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei-sensei|Nozomu]] is a ghost who is the embodiement of all of the despair in the world. ==
* Panty and Stocking will eventually have to take him out.
 
Line 216:
Panty has the opposite of [[Virgin Power]]. She needs sex with men to stay an angel and becomes powerless when she is denied sex for too long (In corollary this would imply that Stocking's power come from eating sweets).
* After the fights in ''Buzz Of The Beehive'' and ''Les Diaboliques'' she immediately seeks sex from the first male in sight. Why? To regain the energy she just lost.
* In episode 12-B Panty starts to lose her powers ''after'' she can't have sex anymore.
* Ehhhhhhhh... I'm not buying this one. Garter [[Poor Communication Kills|forgot to tell Panty]] she was not allowed to have sex ''after'' she already screwed about three dozen guys; what I'm seeing here is that heaven got relatively pissed off with Panty for breaking orders she didn't know she had, and took her powers away as a result. [[Idiot Ball|Damnit, Garter! You should have told her this from the beginning!]]
** Contrary to my original speculation, [[Jossed|It didn't happen.]]
Line 222:
 
== Garterbelt's mission was to protect the key ==
Remember the picture of a key that god gave to Garterbelt everytime he refused to accept his mission? his mission was to find and protect the key. In ''Highschool Nudical'' he wasn't trying to saw naked boys, he tried to find the key, because as we see, the key is a boy's dick, when Panty defeated the ghost with Brief's underwear, Garter discovered that Brief was/have the key. In ''Inner Brief'' he was watching ''closely'' to check that Brief was, in fact, the key. AND WE THOUGHT THAT HE WAS GAY!...wait a minute, and the end of ''Catfight Club''?...
** That makes ''so much sense.''
** [[Fridge Brilliance|OH SNAP!]]
Line 228:
 
== (Confirmed) Stocking ''will'' return for the finale. ==
Which will most likely be [[Twelve -Episode Anime|Episode 13]]. As Panty can't really do anything without her angel powers (Although she might retain some [[Badass Normal]] traits if she gets out of BSOD mode early enough,) Stocking will probably return, saying something along the lines of "I knew you couldn't do anything without me." The result of this combined with fighting the Daemon sisters and [[Big Bad|Corset]] will probably blow our heads off.
* Although technically it's actually supposed to be [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Panty_and_Stocking:Panty and Stocking#Media |26 episodes long,]] which leaves plenty of time for [[Break the Haughty|Panty]] to rescue brief and possibly [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|declare war on]] all the demons coming in. <ref>This is assuming Panty rescues Brief ''after'' the door to hell is opened, since [[Big Bad|Corset]] would have no use for him. [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|Then again...]] </ref>
** That's 26 half-length episodes, not full-length.
*** [[Atomic F -Bomb|FUUUUUUUU-!]]
**** Taking that into account, it will actually be at least 27 episodes, assuming, the final episode will be a double-length one like Episode 6.
* As the OP, I have only one thing to say: {{spoiler|[[I Knew It!]]! But the head-blowing was for [[Gainax Ending|other reasons]] too.}}
** Although, to be fair, there was a "Until Season 2!" splash at the end of Episode 13. Therefore, we can probably expect more.
*** Well, a finale's a finale, even if it isn't the end of the show. {{spoiler|... Brief and Chuck, onward!}}
Line 239:
== "Sex and the Daten City" was set prior to the beginning of the series. ==
Let's connect the dots. After Panty finds out about a copy of her porno being in the net, she decides to exile herself from the world and takes Stocking and Chuck along. They go through all the dangerous situations portrayed in "Fallen Angel" until they can't take it anymore and die. God sends them to Heaven, hoping for them to change their behaviour while there. However, after a few days He notices that they haven't changed at all, thus He kicks them out of Heaven, and the rest is history.
** I connected the dots how you said, and my picture seemed to have skipped a few dots. How did Brief, who [[Love At First Sight|fell for Panty upon seeing her]] in The Buzz of the Beehive, start [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|wanking to her porno]] ''before he knew she existed''?
*** That was Brief? I thought it was some random pervert.
 
== Maybe this one is obvious, but I'll say it anyway: Corset's corset suppresses his powers. ==
Long ago, he battled Garterbelt (And perhaps God as well), the fight ending with the Corset being put on him. Take it off, and he'll go full-blown [[One -Winged Angel|Satan]].
* This means Brief is the key to opening the Corset. [[Unfortunate Implications|Oh God]]...
** Pretty much confirmed; at the very least, {{spoiler|he's the key to unleashing hell on earth.}}
Line 269:
* Garterbelt had known that Brief was Hellsmonkey for some time and had been keeping an eye on him.
* Stocking telling Panty that she hasn't experienced love before in Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City. In Panty + Brief, Panty finally seems to actually acknowledge Brief
** Also, in that episode, Panty said all she needed in a guy was "a pretty face and a large member." At this point we already knew about Brief's ... [[Gag Penis|well-endowment]] ... foreshadowing that he'd have {{[[Bishonen |a nice face}}]] as well, and so Panty's possible attraction to him?
* From High School Nudical, Brief's underwear did turn into a BFG.
* In "The Stripping," Brief was somehow able to bet over $200,000 on Panty's panties, despite being a highschooler. We later find out that it's because he's filthy rich. And where do you think he got all his Ghost-finding items from?
** Also notable because he apparently loses all his money earlier in the episode.
Line 287:
== Just like Panty and Stocking, Brief will have an evil counterpart, too ==
I name him Boxer.
* It's too early in the game to say if it's true or not, but high chances dictates that is names is Trunks, not Boxer.
 
== The pair of panties Panty auctioned off during "The Stripping" are a literal [[Chekhov's Gun]]. ==
Line 325:
 
== (Confirmed) The last episode will be a [[Sequel Hook]] for the second season. ==
Similar to the above, sort of. A: It'll allow for less of a constriction on animation, B: [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|It'll please the fans greatly,]] C: [[Cash Cow Franchise|Gainax can make more money off the series,]] and D: [[Ship Tease|Panty.]] [[Unresolved Sexual Tension|and.]] [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|Brief.]]
* I can imagine a lot of trouble for the studio if they even conceive any merchandise that arises from ''this'' show.
** Oh my god, [[Brain Bleach|I CAN'T UNSEE IT!!]]<ref> [[Squee Bait|Although chuck plushies might be nice....]] </ref>
** I can't be the only one who wants Panty's panty gun, can I? Stocking's sword might be hard to ship to the US, though....
**** Eh, they can just transform them into stockings during shipping.
Line 366:
*** [[Michael Clark Duncan]] perhaps?
*** [[Kevin Michael Richardson]]. That is all.
*** [[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like (Advertising)|Isaiah Mustafa]]. He does seem to be [[One of Us]], after all.
*** Or maybe [[Corbin Bleu]].
 
== (Jossed) The extra episode will feature Panty and Stocking before they got kicked out of Heaven. ==
 
[[Word of God]] has confirmed they're making an extra episode to be released exclusively with the final DVD and Blu-ray set to [[AuthorsAuthor's Saving Throw|make up for the]] [[Recap Episode]] [[AuthorsAuthor's Saving Throw|that is "D.C. Confidential"]]. That being said, a prequel would probably work well.
* Jossed, it's an omake consisting of micro-shorts strung together.
** Actually, that was a special episode that was release on the 5th volume on DVD and blu-ray instead, so it's not sure that the special episode was the OVA or that the release date of the final volume that has an OVA is the OVA
Line 388:
*** Or, Stocking became a demon sometime between returning to Heaven and her [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.
*** Or worse yet, it isn't even Stocking, but someone impersonating her!
*** So Stocking is like [[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Urd]]?
*** I figured if this really ''is'' Stocking, it's {{spoiler|part of a [[Plan]] to take down Corset}}
 
Line 407:
 
== The twist ending can be disregarded entirely. ==
* Think about it: it happens right after the end credits are done with all the copyright and whatnot. There will be no second season; it's just Gainax's way of [[Self -Deprecation]] what with its frequent [[Mind Fuck|Mind Fucks]]s and [[Ass Pull|Ass Pulls]]s.
 
== If Panty gets put back together, she might act a little nicer to Brief ==
Line 415:
== Oten City is a total [[Crap Saccharine World]] ==
If I'm not a total failure at Japanese, then it's a pun on angel. It'll probably be full of [[Lawful Good]] people, prideful people and religious fanatics, prompting Brief to put his wealthy background to good use. Of course, we might not know until much, much later, as he still has to deal with Panty's predicament.
** Or, Oten City is a [[Cloudcuckooland|CloudCuckooLand]]- this troper found the citizens of Daten City to be fairly average, so what about a city full of nutters?
*** Well, considering how Daten City happens to be a city "where love and desire flow freely," I'm guessing Oten is probably a lot stricter in it's moral standards, and probably the closest place to Heaven on Earth as well.
 
Line 426:
 
== Corset would have been completely destroyed if the Panty-Stocking-Garterbelt Giga Drill actually hit ==
The shot to the sky did not summon Panty and Stocking's mother. The only reason their mother came down was because if there wasn't a real divine intervention soon, everyone would be screwed.
 
== God planned everything in order to eliminate Corset ==
Here is my guess: Stocking is a demon, but she acted too nicely in Hell and was kicked out. God then found Stocking and took her in, knowing that having a demon on her/his side would help destroy Corset. God also needed someone to accompany Stocking so he/she took Panty, a single child, and hypnotized her into believing Stocking was her sister. They were then sent to Earth on the assumption that they were kicked out, but God and Stocking knew that wasn't the case.
The season finale is mainly Stocking acting out on the plan to eliminate Corset using Brief and the Oten City Hellgate, while cutting apart Panty was in order to give Brief a motivation to actually proceed towards their target. Garterbelt knew nothing of this plan, and the reason Stocking was sent to Heaven in episode 12 is to have a strategy meeting with God.
 
 
== Stocking is [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|Bernkastel]] ==
First of all, the two look so similar that there's plenty of pictures of Bernkastel styled like Stocking. Stocking's 'promo' outfit also bares more than a passing resemblance to Bernkastel's usual outfit. They also seem to share the same BDSM kink. And their face-heels both come at the very end of the episode they face-heel in.
* Wait a minute... Bernkastel has fame of being a [[Troll]]... The troll ending at episode 13... [[Big OMG|GOOOOOD MYYYYY OOOOOOOOH!]] It makes so much more sense than one would expect!
Line 445:
== Another fallen angel will appear in the second season to aid Brief and Chuck. ==
She may possibly be to Oten City what Panty and Stocking were to Daten City.
* Obviously, the new angel will probably be a reference to one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] and have the ability to transform clothing into a weapon. My bet goes for a girl with a [[Hair -Trigger Temper]] (Wrath) that can transform her T-Shirt in a [[Drop the Hammer|gigantic hammer]]. Of course, her name will be T-Shirt.
* Or maybe is a male angel named [[Badass Longcoat|Longcoat]] who can transform his longcoat into a [[Gag Penis|Lance]]. he can be someone full of pride or sloth...or both.
* Or perhaps a male character named Cockring who fights with chakrams? Or another female character named Strap-on? Really, the possibilities in a show like this are essentially endless...
Line 457:
== {{spoiler|Panty}} didn't get cut up at all. ==
In the first few minutes of the second season she'll walk up to the stunned Brief, Garterbelt and Chuck in her usual "Heyy, what's up" manner.
(The ending of that [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants|Spongebob Squarepants]] episode where he had to go to prom with Pearl and it was a dummy all along comes to mind.)
 
== Scanty and Kneesocks's last name is Anarchy. ==
Anarchy as last name makes sense if they are children of angel and a demon, because of they have traits of both. Scanty and Kneesocks, by chance, or by choice were born as angels, while Panty and Stocking as demons.
* Isn't their last name Daemon? (Thus, Daemon Sisters.) So wouldn't this be Jossed?
** "Daemon"?! What, do you play {{[[Warhammer 40000}}40,000]]?
 
== Angels and demons are actually the same species. ==
Line 481:
 
== The ghost 'attacking' Panty and Stocking in the ending is {{spoiler|Chuck}} ==
It resembles his [[One -Winged Angel]] form no? And {{spoiler|His normal self suddenly shows up in the next shot.}}
* It looks to me more like {{spoiler|some kind of fusion form of Scanty and Kneesocks. It has two horns on the side like Scanty and a horn in the front like Kneesocks.}}
 
Line 487:
Because...um...[[Noodle Incident|why not.]]
 
== Stocking {{spoiler|made a [[Deal Withwith the Devil|Faustian deal]] out of sisterly love.}} ==
This Troper posits this: Stocking gets into heaven at the beginning of episode 12, but finds heaven to be not worthwhile because her sister isn't there. When she sees Panty get into major trouble further in the episode, she petitions God or whoever is in charge to let her go back, but is told "no" for whatever reason. The series already established that Stocking considers some things worth hell (that Ghost she fell in love with), {{spoiler|so she commits the ultimate sin - bargaining with the devil (or a suitable stand-in, if Corset is indeed Satan).}} She leaves heaven {{spoiler|for committing this sin}} and gets the power and ability to bail Panty out, but some time between her [[Big Damn Heroes]] return and the end of episode 13, {{spoiler|her part of the deal was completed - she turns evil.}}
 
Line 512:
 
== Gainax is performing a [[Xanatos Gambit]] with the second season. ==
Gainax knew damn well that the original concept for the show was, more than likely, [[Twelve -Episode Anime|going to get less than a full season]]. However, due to previous [[Viral Marketing]], they also knew that they could throw in anything (Yes, anything. Why are you reading the WMG for this show if you don't realize this by now?) and cause half the internet to spaz out. So, naturally, the rewrote the last episode to include one hell of a cliffhanger. The result? An explosion of speculation as to what the next season will contain. True, it's a bold move for a show that might not get renewed, but at the end, you get two outcomes. The first, they get the second season. The second, the show falls into [[Too Good to Last]] territory and the entire fanbase got trolled. Either way, Gainax is having fun.
 
== {{spoiler|Panty}} will simply come back, as seen in the Ed. Brief doesn't know that ==.]]
Line 555:
* Chastity: Breif is so hoplessly geeky that there is absolutley 0% chance of him getting laid, which is quite a feat, [[Gag Penis|all things considered]]... untill Episode 12/13 (But since Breif truly loves Panty, this can't be considered Lust, and there isn't anything saying Love breaks Chasisty - Remember that Virginty =/= Chastity).
* Diligence: He's probably the only chracter in this show actually shown doing some work, or at least willing to actually try to do something. Sure, he fails miserably at almost everything he tries, and usually can't help with the task at hand (killing a ghost, although that might be because he doesn't have any equipment to do so), but he is most definatly more diligent than the two main characters.
* Humility: He was and still is bullied/universally hated so badly that this is the end result. I mean, I think he's overjoyyed just at having friends. He could have lived the good life with his Father, but instead lives in a dump with his grandad. [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Although that might not be his fault.]]
* Kindess: Oh come on. I don't even have to point out that this is basically his character incarnate. He's even nice to [[The Chew Toy|Chuck]], and even to the main characters... even after they have been rather bitchy towards him.
* Patience: He hangs around with Panty and Stocking. This is almost a requirement for such a feat. Also still goes through with Public schooling, [[Kids Are Cruel|despite how horrible it is for him]] and the fact his Father is proabably rich enough to just get him in a private school/hometeach.
* Temperence: He's overcome everything in his [[Iron Woobie|incredibly poor life]] with massive ammounts of this. It even helps him in episode 13, where he literally forces himself to [[Memetic Mutation|not succumb to Corset's wiles.]] And Corset is implied to be masterfull at the art of Bondage, or at least the first definition of bondage.
== The next season...: ==
* {{spoiler|Will be called Chuck & Brief with Garterbelt}}
== In the next season Brief will... : ==
* {{spoiler|Become the main protagonist parodying shonen/western standards,using his c*ck as a BFS and by the time he collects all pieces of Panty,he will already go through a massive [[Character Development]],[[Clark Kenting|pull his hair]] [[Squee|back permanently]] and become so GAR that revived Panty will not only enjoy his [[Gag Penis]] but also his [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|spiral power]] sexual drive thus she will be able to ascend to the [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence|Heaven]]}}
== Panty regained her angel powers in episode 13 because she had sex [[Good People Have Good Sex|for the right reason]]. ==
What struck me about the Panty/Brief sex scenes in episode 12 and 13 was the difference in Panty's motives. In episode 12, she's frustrated due to constantly being cockblocked by Garterbelt, getting beaten up by Scanty and Kneesocks, getting rescued by ''Brief'' of all people, getting stranded in the middle of nowhere with Brief etc. The list goes on. At that point she may or may not have started developing the feelings for Brief that [[They Do|come full circle]] next episode. If she has, she may not be aware of it. Either way, she's too proud to admit it. Hell, she ''outright states'' that she only wants him because he'd be number one thousand. Cue neither of them enjoying it (Panty's hymen grows back, and Brief actually looks ''bored'' during the act.) In episode 13, on the other hand, one must remember that Panty has no reason to believe that screwing Brief will acomplish what it does. The way I interpreted it, Panty thinks the world is going to end, there's nothing she can do about it, so why not [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|do what she does best]], and why not with the one she has realized she loves? So when she offers her angelic virginity to Brief out of love, she gets her second chance. Tl;dr: [[Anvilicious|Sex for the sake of sex =/= Sex for the sake of love.]]
Line 572:
During episode 12, it was mentioned that Queen Bee, the cheerleader ghost, had died by the sting of the pet bee of a geek. And what did we see in the earlier episode starring queen bee? It was Brief who was taking care of bees. Brief, the guy who gets called a geek throughout the series. Clearly, Queen Bee had only died very recently, possibly even without anyone noticing before she turned ghost, during the schoolyear after being stung by Brief's bee.
 
== The characters can see the [[Art Shift|Art Shifts]]s as well ==
In "Vomiting Point" the vastly different drawing style used to depict Little Tokyo is not simply a narrative technique, as when Panty and Stocking arrive they remain in the style in which they usually appear, clearly distinct from everything else. This indicates that the appearances of characters and objects at any one time are visible to the characters as well as the audience, including any changes that occur. It also explains why Panty and Stocking are massive [[Memetic Sex God|Memetic Sex Gods]]s, as their highly public [[Transformation Sequence|Transformation Sequences]]s, in which they suddenly become impossibly attractive compared to everyone else, would be slightly noticable.
* Then how would one explain the Art Shifts in ''The Stripping''<ref>The "New jobs" montage, specifically the traffic police part</ref> where ''everyone'' Art Shifts?
 
Line 593:
== Stockings clothes have padding in the chest area. ==
 
Based on ep 9B, when Panty masquerades as Stocking, her breasts are MUCH bigger. In reality, Stockings breasts are small, but she doesn't want to feel inferior, so installs padding in her clothes, making this a case of [[A -Cup Angst]]
* I don't think so. Early on Panty griefs ever so fleetingly about how Stockings breasts are bigger than hers. And even earlier Stocking references how all she eats goes straight to ther breasts. But that last one could be denial too. Plus, wouldn't Panty have already ripped on Stocking about that little secret by now?

== Gainax is Heaven, and Heaven just wants us to have a good time ==
Think about it. Heaven could have just as easily sent the two to purgatory if the intent of their banishment was to punish them. If Heaven wanted rid of ghosts, Scanty and Kneesocks repressed, or Corset destroyed, why not just send in a team of not-fallen Angels to do the job, that would clearly be more efficient. No, the reason Heaven sent [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Panty]] and [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|Stocking]] was simple: Heaven wants us to have fun. [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Dispite constant bickering, Panty and Stocking aren't inherently evil.]] [[Hero Withwith an F In Good|They both have their sins,]] but in varous ways they overcame them long enough to do what was right. They are the Anarchy Sisters for a reason: [[Good Is Boring|anarchy is good!]]
 
Scanty and Kneesocks represent the [[Lawful Evil|strict, militaristic guidelines set down by society and government, i.e. the man]]. They [[What Is Evil?|seem superior at first compared to the anarchy of the Angels]], but are quickly identified to be evil at heart, with not an [[Principles Zealot|iota of good will in their beings.]] The Ghosts are the pent up stress and rage [[Culture Police|the rules cause in people not allowed to express themselves.]] Corset, who strikes more than a passing resemblance to a [[Corrupt Church|puritainical leader]] (baring the BDSM), [[Knight Templar|is the ultimate embodiement of that ideal.]] He gets his jollies constricting (without self contol) the will of others, [[For the Evulz|he does everything for his own gain,]] and behind his [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|tightly-kept exterior lies a monster of rage and pure evil.]] Just look at his name; a device used to bring order and conformity at the expense of freedom and overall health.
 
Garterbelt is an exemplary figure in that he learned the balance between internal and external anarchy. He lived a life of total anarchy, and thus was sinful. But then Heaven sent him here to live all of history, and then [[Mentor|guide Panty and Stocking]], because will have mastered the true teachings: anarchy on the outside, control on the inside. He is willing to go to just about as [[Refuge in Audacity|audatious]] means as the Anarchy Sisters to achieve his goals, [[Order Versus Chaos|but it is always for a good cause.]] Just like his hidden BDSM and his namesake, he is ''in control'' of his morals, but just as wild on the outside as we all want to be.
Line 613:
* There may be some interdimensional connection. In many of their works, the protagonists [[Chaotic Good|are]] [[Chaotic Neutral|chaotic]], and the antagonists [[Lawful Neutral|are]] [[Lawful Evil|lawful.]] [[Panty And Stocking With Gaterbelt]] is the spiritual and moralistic embodiment of Gainax, and by extension, the Bizarro counterpart of [[The Bible]](the former is [[Chaotic Good]] versus [[Lawful Evil]], and the latter is [[Lawful Good]] versus [[Chaotic Evil]].)
 
== PSG being licensed by [[FU NimationFUNimation]] means they will dub it. ==
Why else would the DVDs be [http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc//press-release/2011-04-14/funimation-entertainment-acquires-panty-and-stocking-with-garterbelt sche][https://web.archive.org/web/20120310003355/http://www.animemaki.net/2011/04/funimation-ent-acquires-panty-stocking-with-garterbelt/ duled] for a release in ''2012''?
* ...why did this need to be posted? It's stupidly obvious. I don't think Funimation has ever released something ''without'' a dub.
** Not every studio dubs the anime they license. [[FU NimationFUNimation]] has a small track record for un-dubbed shows they simply distribute online or on DVD with subtitles. Dubs are far more expensive to produce than subtitles, so it's usually less a possibility. Unless you work for them, who are you to know whether or not a studio dubs something? This is called Wild Mass Guessing for a reason.
** OP agrees with second Anon in that it is ''not'' "stupidly obvious". Again, why else 2012?
*** Wait, what? You realize that first replier is saying that it's obvious that it'll be dubbed given a ''2012'' release and the fact that Funi picked it up at all, right? Why are you acting like 2012 contradicts an obvious upcoming dub?
**** A particularly far-away release date doesn't tell you anything about how they'll distribute it. Unless we get actual press announcements that they will dub the show, we can't say.
*** *sigh* What I, OP, said ''was'': "I believe that the show will be dubbed, judging by the far-off release date. Discuss." Nothing more, nothing less.
* [[I Knew It!|Confirmed]].
 
== There will be a character with a Bra-themed name/the show has a feminist slant. ==
Line 643:
 
== In the second season, Brief will learn to turn his briefs into some sort of weapon. ==
Defies all logic, but writing-wise it makes sense. The end of the stinger implied that the new season would focus on him for at least part of it, and since {{spoiler|Panty's been diced and Stocking is evil, they won't be around to fight for him.}} While "High-school Nudical" would imply that the weapon would be a shotgun, this troper argues that that was only because Panty was wielding it. If he learned to transform his own underwear, my guess for the form would be a {{[[Ghostbusters |Proton Pack}}]].
 
== So if [[FU NimationFUNimation]] does dub PSG, will [[Shout -Out|not]]-[[Transformers|Optimus Prime]] be voiced by [[Peter Cullen]]? ==
Place your bets now!
* Getting celebrities in other shows will prove tough considering they're in the middle of distant Texas!

== This series may have a video game based on its franchise. ==
And it will be filled with ''awesome''.
 
== The mother of Panty and Stocking is... ==
Line 661:
== Panty and Stocking were killed by Chuck when ''they were still alive'' ==
* Considering some creature like Fastener exists, Chuck could be the ''same'' race. Also, not counting the comical beatings Fastener goes through, it appears that Fastener ''doesn't'' have the same regenerative ability that Chuck has. For example, in final episode, Fastener cuts him to pieces and he regenerates instantly but when Chuck shoots a laser through Fastener, Fastener takes the remainder of the episode to regenerate.
* The ending credits imply that Chuck existed- while Panty and Stocking were both human girls. The first scenes show Panty and Stocking featured on something possibly movie-themed with Chuck dancing on the side. This could mean that Chuck was a huge fan of theirs, maybe even a [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]. In the next two scenes, they both fell off a cliff and a creature (that looks like Chuck's demonic form) kidnaps them...
 
Like a psycho-demon stalker, Chuck wants to really kill them (Possibly eat or 'trophy' them?) but his own stupidity jams the chain lowering the saw. The two escaped(?) into a desert and Chuck chases them only for all of them to [[Downer Ending|die of dehydration]] while attacked by vultures. For killing Panty and Stocking, Chuck is now punished to become their immortal servant- similar to how Garterbelt was cursed with immortality. This also explains why Panty and Stocking seem to beat up Chuck all the time despite him being so helpful; He KILLED both of them! ([[Fridge Brilliance]])
* But in the ''extra'' credits (Fallen Angel ED version 2) Panty and Stocking were both being [[Buried Alive]] in a grave after being hit by a train and shot... [[Tempting Fate|Just who did it?]] [[Fridge Horror|Chuck!]]
 
== Panty is the real protagonist of the show ==
Line 675:
I mean the guy arranged a marriage between the two without telling the Brief until way late and he had no say in it. I would be more surprised if he didn't do this.
 
== Chuck is a [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|Chaos]] [[Warhammer 40 K,000|Spawn]] ==
One who's held the attention of all four Chaos Gods. His greenish skin, grotesque, exorbited eye and ability to rapidly regenerate from whatever damage he takes indicates that his body been blessed by Nurgle, his constant search of pleasure (humping random objects, eating extremely sugary foods, jerking off his zipper) shows that his mind belongs to Slaneesh, his [[Offscreen Teleportation]] and transformation ability is a power given to him by Tzeentch, and as for Khorne, well... did you happen to miss [[Hell Hound|what it is]] [[A Load of Bull|he]] [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family|turns]] [[Spikes of Doom|into?]]
 
== There will be no second season. ==
There is no proof of a second season other than a "To be continued" at the end of the final episode. They put that at the end of all the episodes, yet, the story never actually continues. I think it means that they will continue on with their lives, not the show. On top of that, "Panty & Stocking in Sanitarybox" was probably a way for the writers/producers to say "STOP TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. THIS WAS A JOKE.", because of how plotless and confusing the episode is. The original series also ended in 2010, and it's already 2012. I think there would be some information out about it by now if it was going to happen.
* Also, the director has moved on to a new studio, and [[Gainax]] has moved on to [[Bibliotheca Mystica Dede Dantalian|manga]] [[Medaka Box|adaptations.]] Sorry, but this seals the fate of the show.
* hey now, hey now! don't dream it's over!
