To commemorate both the 15th anniversary of its original airing and Studio Trigger's new revival season, your OG Marvelous! hosts Nicole (millennial hag) and Stu (millennial unc) talk about another Hiroyuki Imaishi banger, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. One of several Imaishi projects to boast the title "The Anime That Saved Anime," Panty and Stocking is the last great effort from Studio Gainax, the result of a bunch of exhausted Japanese animators getting drunk on a work retreat and riffing ideas for a follow-up to Gurren Lagann. The result is basically Powerpuff Girls for perverts, Beavis and Butthead for unruly women, or (to quote friend of the show Liz) Black Panther for women who pick their ass.
