What is Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt?#
If you are looking for a wild ride that blends high-energy action with irreverent comedy, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is an experience like no other. The story follows two angels, Panty and Stocking, who have been kicked out of heaven due to their atrocious behavior. To earn their way back, they are sent to Daten City to exterminate ghosts that prey on human greed, all under the supervision of the mysterious Garterbelt.
With a unique art style and a heavy emphasis on parody, this series subverts the “magical girl” genre by adding themes of ecchi and chaotic action. If you’re ready to dive into Daten City, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is the anime really finished?#
For a long time, the original run of the series left fans wondering where the story went. However, the answer to “Is the anime finished?” is now a definitive no.
While the original series aired years ago, Studio Trigger has officially revived the franchise. A new project, titled New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT, is set to premiere on July 9, 2025. Recent reports indicate that the new series will culminate in a special 1-hour finale airing on September 17, 2025.
Because of this new production, viewers should definitely keep an eye on current releases rather than assuming the story ended with the original 2010 run. If you enjoy keeping the site updated with the latest anime news, feel free to support us on Ko-fi!
