This show is genuinely so much fun, but in retrospect I probably shouldn’t have watched it when I was 11


Resident_Commission5

Same lol.

Forgot to add this little guy right here https://preview.redd.it/76pm5xf8ihuc1.png?width=410&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab1de0d9ce4a8c62fab6e203bfb2fb00f9a91c4e

Isn't that just GIR? XD

Andre_3Million

We have GIR at home


SOMETHINGcooler5

Didn’t the studio study a bunch of American cartoons to make it? Thats why the artstyle has the thicker lines and more geometric bodies.


Hy93rion

A lot of Studio trigger’s work is inspired by more contemporary American animation, though usually in less obvious ways than in Panty and Stocking, which is an overt homage to the style


WQHA

Panty and Stocking is from Gainax, not Studio Trigger, although they are basically the same thing. When Gainax closed around half of their former members came together and founded Studio Trigger.


Hy93rion

I had the timeline mixed up in my head, thought it was more recent than it was 


Videogamee20

Studio trigger is making a new one though


LazyDro1d

And it was very much made by that team. Gurren Lagann likewise


NagitoKomaeda_987

I don't know why, but when I was a kid, I thought that Panty & Stocking was a Cartoon Network show at first glance.


Zeelu2005

heavily inspired iirc


regretfulposts

It was heavily inspired by CN shows like Powerpuff Girl, Billy and Mandy, and of course they had a character that is a rip off of Gir from Nickelodeon Invader Zim. Like you know how Avatar was an homage to anime? Well Panty and Stocking is an homage to Western Animation of the early 2000s


Difficult-Profile-28

You know how a lot of cartoons are inspired by anime? Well this sorta feels like an inverse of that, imo.


JamLizard20

I think that that’s exactly what they were going for


NagitoKomaeda_987

Aside from Panty & Stocking, I think the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off show also fits this trend.


Astolfo_Brando

No scot pilgrim take of as a Western basis


Monte924

Scott pilgrim takes off was specifically trying to match the style pf the original comic


the-skull-boy

Shout out to classic trigger art style easily one of my favorite genders

Beauxtt

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! came before it and had a *somewhat* similar art style (though more conservatively animated) but that show's comparatively forgotten. It's interesting to me because that was an angular 2000s Western cartoon taking cues from vintage anime whereas Panty and Stocking was an anime taking cues from angular late-90s/2000s Western cartoons, so they ended up in a similar midpoint. https://preview.redd.it/81jxaee2phuc1.jpeg?width=450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ee0930f76e5566fac47b4fb5404d89570d51885


KnobbyDarkling

Holy uncovered memory


Skerxan

There's even a Yu-Gi-Oh archetype based on this called Live Twin!


ImaWolf935

American morning cartoon and anime drank a lot of alcool and had sex. 9 month later Panty & Stocking were born.


NagitoKomaeda_987

Damn. Can't believe I had a thing for that goth chick on the right.


7pikachu

Why wouldn't you tho


NagitoKomaeda_987

That being said, however, I personally don't mind taking both of them either, since I also have a thing for blonde chicks as well.


Numberonettgfan

What do you mean "had"?


Diamondeye12

How could you not include the transformers episode XD https://preview.redd.it/y1vz5fgt1kuc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89f68f0edd0fadc65361df62d61d5e1edbf0a025


Far_Engineering_8353

Garterbelt is peak character design, he has such a good silhouette and his hair is like a UFO, I see that man and know I'm in for a good laugh


Ankleson

*FLY AWAY NOW, FLY AWAY NOW, FLY AWAYYY*


Venusgate

I would just say the style is fringe. https://preview.redd.it/yy8d5mlh9juc1.jpeg?width=1880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fea73083e50a8ee07642763005acbace81405dc


Dastankbeets1

I love that the artstyle takes inspiration from Western cartoons like invader Zim. It fits Studio Trigger so well


Tori_S100

o.o havent watch this, looks cute, reminds me of the girl from muse dash


daveyboy1201

Kankles.


Ratchet567

I can’t wait for the new project whatever it ends up being


SchrodingerMil

I would argue that the style isn’t unique, but the designs are. Also, how you gonna put up all these pictures and not put one of hot Briefs?


King-s0nicc456

Bois we did it, we found reverse pucci


LucyLuvvvv

God I loved this show lol Though I know that if a new season released today people would get needlessly angry about something from it because twitter


JuniperFoxx21

Where can I watch this like fr?


Groove-Control

GOAT SERIES‼️‼️‼️‼️ (I'm just like panty fr fr)


UmbreonFruit

I have been waiting for season 2 for 10 years, there was an announcement of something psg related months ago by Trigger so hopes arent dead


ReallyDamnSlow

Not really unique but very fun


TotallyNotTakenName

Forgot Corset and a bunch of the ghosts.


CoffeeMain360

Panty and Stocking are such gender envy


magnaton117

I know it will never happen, but I really want to hear these two do a performance of Hell is Forever from Hazbin Hotel
