Nonsense. There is Stocking. And then there are those other characters of no importance.
And why hasn't this been released on DVD/BD in Europe yet :|
I started watching this a while ago (two months ago or so). I made it through first six episodes, with the sixth one being so good I decided to make it that for a day. Afterwards, I pretty much had no time. I saw posts that there is some ridiculous twist (and that it involved Stocking, but thankfully avoided all exact spoilers) and Gainax trolled everyone again so I knew that one day I'll have to resume watching it.
That day came yesterday. Thankfully, after sixth episode (tissue factory one) it quite picked up and while there were some weak episodes, the ratio between good and bad ones was much better than at the beginning. I loved the introduction of Scanty & Kneesocks. Most of the episodes were really fun, even if devoid of any overarching plot ("we gotta collect dem coinz to get back to heaven" doesn't count).
And then the last episode (last two episodes if we count Bitch Girls and Bitch Girls 2 seperate) came. Pure Gainax. Earth getting destroyed, a powerful evil monster rising (which felt similar to FLCL to me). But somehow, the crisis was averted. "The End" came, everything went back to happy. The episode was pure insanity, even if it was very Gainax-like, that didn't fit the overall feel of the show. "But that couldn't be it, could it?". "We gotta collect more of coinz lol" didn't sound like really securing a sequel.
...
The scene after credits started. When Stocking mentioned how she wonders if heavenly weapons work on angels I started going "OH NO THEY DIDN'T". But they did. They oh-so-did. The last 90 seconds of the episode blew my mind. I finished watching it 45 minutes ago but I still can't collect my thoughts. I'm unsure what to think of it, but it definitely was a troll of epic proportions. For the first five minutes after finishing, even though I knew there is some kind of twist, I sat with my mind blank. I got trolled. So trolled. So amazed.
Overall, eh. Gainax...... when (if? though it's pretty much confirmed right) the second season starts I'm gonna definitely watch it. Most of the episodes were solid, I liked the humour (except for the really gross episodes, like the first one or nose picking one). It was definitely one of the most unpredictable things I've watched in my entire life. Every time I thought that they can't push the WTF factor any more, they did. Right to the very end. The ending was brilliant in it's own way. My God. Gainax = genius.

PS. Stocking>>>>everyone

Just finished watching this, and the ending WTF. The ultimate "out of left field" moment, whoa. I'll be there for a season 2.
But I must say, no other episodes really stacked up to to second story of the 1st episode (Death Race 2010), or episode 6 (Les Diaboliques). The action, and animation in those were the absolute peak of how good this series could be, and I don't they ever managed to hit that peak more than twice. Even though I was still enjoying myself, I'm now quite disappointed that they didn't have another action set piece like the bullet train, or the fight in the school with Scanty and Kneesocks.

Shit, man, I have to get that magazine; not only will it feature Imaishi's PanSto comic, it also has a feature on Yoshihiko Umakoshi!

Yeah, better hurry up and contact your more trusted forwarding service to purchase them, because they are only going to print enough to comply with the preorders, and the only stores that are going to sell them are those listed in the following website, so no regular bookstores either:

I wanted to buy it at Amazon.co.jp, but they don't ship this item outside Japan. It is a real pity.

Chuck to the future 4 was better than the previous 3 combined!
And there's more to come! In the 'Artist Comment, Profile' window, accessible through the GAINAX.NET Toppage illustration section (http://www.gainax.co.jp/top.html), Toyonori Yamada said there will be another batch of this animated shorts in the final Vol. 6 disc release of the series (this ones you posted were included on Vol. 5).Atilac said:

Bumping because that is awesome.
Sorry for bumbing this thread but was second season ever confirmed ? Hiroyuki Imaishi has apparently left Gainax so I was wondering can they even do the show without him. Also Shin Itagakin is gone. According to 2c (yeah, great source) DVD/BD sales of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt were so poor that it's likely they have been fired/forced to quit. Kinda sad since I just rewatched the show and it was even better this time around.

Bumping because this series is licensed and the dubbing is actually good.

I'd totally buy it if it was on blu-ray.

Would love a BD release, but I'll get by with the DVD version. Better than nothing, at least.
I must correct you, the dubbing sounded miscast and poorly delivered. 90% of the charm of this show (for me at least) is hearing japanese actresses swear in engrish. Whoever did the english script decided that swearing was the best thing ever and made every character talk like a pulp fiction character... for whatever reason it's incredibly distracting to me. The characters basically all sound annoying in english. It's a nice dvd set though. I suspect that since I went and bought it on dvd that the bluray will inevitably be out 6 months later for less money
Blu-Ray currently only available in Japan.
FunImation not allowed to release Blurays for future titles anymore (edited so it mostly relates to PSG and the exclusion of Blu-Ray releases)
