Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt #1

I watched this solely because it was Gainax, and I have to say the level of WTF in this show is beyond my ability to describe. Grown-up, jaded Powerpuf Girls are the Ghostbusters for a dystopian city, with a liberal dose of Ebichu and a dash of Bo bo bo bo bo bo thrown in. And of course, there is something about Gainax's explosions and mayhem that is unique to Gainax: something about the way the lines move and the vehicles pirouette as they all come crashing together into a magnificent booming cloud.

The show was actually 2 self-contained episodes: a format similar to Ebichu. There is nothing subtle or deep about it, but the WTF was indeed so far over the top that I think I'll keep watching for a while.



Watching raws, as I suspected, would be out of the question for me. I barely understood the random sentence here and there, the slang is so thick. My hat is way off to the subbers.
