Thankfully, that problem is no longer, as Trigger has gotten the full rights to the property back from Gainax and is free to make as many new Panty & Stocking projects as they want (Otsuka joked that they could go as far as 10 seasons and a movie, so take that Community!). Director Hiroyuki Imaishi is returning for what was billed New Panty and Stocking (although that’s not the final title) alongside animation director Sushio, writer Hiromi Wakabayashi, and designer Shigeto Koyama.ĭuring the panel, studio president Masahiko Otsuka explained that the staff at Trigger has long been wanting to make a new Panty & Stocking, but they were unable to do so because the rights belonged to studio Gainax. The revival was first announced at last year’s Anime Expo – over a decade after the release of the original show – but very little information was revealed then. It was named as part of IGN's list of best anime of the 2010s, which called it an “entertaining joy-ride with dozens of tributes to western cartoons and a bangin' soundtrack." The anime was notable for its visual style, which paid homage to American cartoons, and its rather crude and irreverent humor. Without a doubt, the most exciting reveal was a teaser for the return of the popular Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt ( which you can watch here), a show about two fallen angels causing chaos while trying to gain their way back to heaven.
