The show revolves around the exploits of the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, angels who were kicked out of Heaven due to their bad behavior. They are sent to Daten City—a pun on the Japanese word datenshi (堕天使?, lit. "fallen angel")—a place on the border between Heaven and Hell, which is besieged by evil spirits referred to as "Ghosts". The sisters take refuge under the care of the reverend Garterbelt; under his watchful eyes, the sisters are tasked with using their ability to transform their lingerie into weapons, and using them to destroy malicious Ghosts. By doing so, the sisters earn "Heaven Coins" with which they intend to one day use to buy their way back into Heaven. However, Panty and Stocking are constantly sidetracked by their respective interests in men and sugary sweets.

Characters

Panty (パンティ)
Voiced by: Arisa Ogasawara (Japanese); Jamie Marchi[4] (English)

Panty is a blonde-haired pale-skinned angel whose only interests are looking for men to sleep with and basking in the popularity of being an Anarchy sister. She does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as her sister Stocking, instead preferring to fulfill her personal goal of having sex with 1,000 men on Earth before returning to Heaven. She is generally rude and aggressive to the people around her (including Garterbelt, Brief, Stocking, the men she sleeps with, and most prominently Chuck), and is fond of living the celebrity lifestyle of being an Anarchy sister because it brings her closer to the men and fame she craves. However, she does occasionally exhibit affection toward Stocking and a deep desire for what she believes is best for her, despite their frequent arguing. Although she frequently insults Brief, she sometimes shows a less shallow side to her personality with others. She has the ability to transform her panties into a pistol called Backlace (バックレース Bakkurēsu?). She occasionally wields a second Backlace using Stocking's panties, doubling her firepower and allowing her to combine them into more advanced firearms such as a submachine gun or sniper rifle. She can weaponize male underwear, though the weapon's size and usefulness depends on the size of the original wearer's penis.

Daily reminder that this^ is considered an appropriate depiction of women in Japan. That lust you feel towards high school girls is 100% okay, fellow otaku! Women are just sex objects who LOVE fucking all the men they can find!

long time no see flood

I admit it

at times I really love this show, at other times I'm kinda shocked at how misogynistic it can be

oh well, 2001 was a different time and I feel they were trying to channel Clueless

Is it the Azula type of badass, one whose status as a fearsome, dominant force in the show comes from the skills and traits they have? With this kind of character, you know they're scary because you've seen what they can do and they have a concrete, in-lore reason for being so badass. Other characters like this are Walter White, Samurai Jack, Magnum PI, most drama characters, superheroes, etc.



Or is it the Mandy type of badass, one whose status as a fearsome, dominant force in the show is completely unexplained and exists because of the status quo? This is commonly referred to as toonforce, and is usually present in less serious works, but it's still a type of awesome that kind of transcends the Azula-like kind. With this, the lack of explanation lends itself to much greater hilarity and impact than if we would have expected it. It's almost a meta, fourth wall thing in that the universe itself bends to the will of these characters, and even in situations where we clearly would expect them to fail, the world itself subverts our expectation. Other characters like this are Bugs Bunny and Megan Parker.

I think the first of these feels a bit more earned, but the second is more interesting to me and I like it better. What do you think?

Sabrina is awesome

I keep seeing stuff like this

Dennis -- Roman
(self-explanatory)

Dee -- SecondClass
(petty, vain, spiteful, vengeful)

Mac -- Jive
(obsessed with physical form, in denial about literally everything)

Charlie -- Desty
(barely understandable, eccentric, possibly illiterate)

Frank -- MyNameIsCharlie
(horny old dude who tries to hang out with his younger peers)

Rickety Cricket -- Deci
(is constantly belittled and disparaged but always comes back for more)
