Well, I just watched the first episode of Panty & Stocking....and it was amazing. Within the first few moments of watching the episode, I knew that I was in for something fresh and exciting, and it definitely delivered.
The first half of the episode, involving a toilet monster, was hilarious. I laughed when Panty was the victim of the attack and got poop all over her. Stocking was adorable when she proceeded to throw up and then continue eating her cake. I dug that the girls' weapons came from their actual panties and stockings, and they were damn powerful, too. I also laughed at the live action explosion scene, upon the poop monster's defeat, and I was glad when that appeared again in the second half.
As for the second half of the episode, (which, I must say, was a good idea on Gainax's part to split up the episode), was even more awesome than the first. The race to stop the car/truck/train ghost was fast paced and frantic, and I laughed when Panty kept on making sex jokes all the way. The dog pile of the police cars was definitely a highlight.
The first episode was full of excitement and wonder, and the music definitely helped that along with the animation. Panty and Stocking's first episode was definitely what I expected it to me, and more, and I will definitely follow this series through to the end. I can't wait to see what other kinds of wacky situations the girls get into on their journey to collection Heaven's coins.
Plus, this sequence was worth it's weight in Heaven's coins:
