+
+This series is not for little kids!
+
+The two Anarchy sisters are very different from each other: Panty is
+blond, svelte, fashionable, and seems to think only of sex; Stocking
+is dark-haired, curvier, goth, and seems to think only of sweets. But
+when they can be bothered to listen to afro priest Garterbelt, they
+remember that they're angels, and that their duty is to rid Daten City
+of the malevolent ghosts that plague it.
+
+Hm. OK, not quite. The two sisters know perfectly well that they're
+angels, and that their only hope to get back to Heaven is to collect
+enough coins to pay for the trip; and the only way to get coins is to
+destroy ghosts. Saving the city is a bonus, a nice side-effect, but
+it's not exactly foremost in their minds. Men, food, fame, fun, this
+they work for. All the while being rude, potty-mouthed, self-centred,
+and mostly "unfit for society". "Duty" is an alien concept, and they
+only tolerate getting bossed around by Garterbelt because he can
+provide them with shelter (in the church) and money.
+
+This series is as straightforward as can be: there is no sexual
+innuendo, because everything is explicitly expressed. The stylised
+drawings allow the animators to set up scenes that would need serious
+censoring otherwise. We're not talking only about simple nudity or
+sex: yes, Panty removes her knickers every episode (they transform
+into a ghost-killing gun) and Stocking removes her leggings (to make
+swords), but that's the least of it. Garterbelt is heavily into
+masochism, scat makes frequent appearances, Panty can rarely be
+satisfied by a single man at a time, and men's base instincts are the
+main plot motor. Frankly, the whole thing would make many people
+queasy if it were not all played for laughs; as it stands, you will
+laugh, both with the characters and at them.
+
+I loved this series, but I also loved FLCL, and Puni Puni Poemi, and I
+like most of Excel Saga. Fast-paced animation, silly stories,
+slapstick, comedy effects overpowering the plot to the point that you
+start wondering if there is, in fact, any plot. It's not for
+everybody, but I think everybody should at least try it :) The
+director, IMAISHI Hiroyuki (今石 洋之), is an old hand at Gainax: he's
+worked on FLCL, Abenobashi, Re: Cutie Honey, and Gurren Lagann. This
+particular frantic style appears to be his signature. For an even more
+extreme example, look for Dead Leaves (Production I.G.).
+
+The English edition is pretty well made, with good voice acting (and I
+normally hate dubs!), although the English dialogues are quite
+different than the Japanese originals, just turn the subtitles on to
+notice (the subtitles are a rather close translation of the Japanese
+dialogues).
