due to their bad behavior. They are sent to Daten City (a pun on the Japanese word ), a place located on the edge of Heaven and Hell
. Strange monsters called "Ghosts" besiege the city, but the Anarchy sisters wield a variety of mysterious powers, most notably their ability to transform their underwear and stockings into weapons.

and directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi
, aired in Japan between October 1, 2010 and December 24, 2010, and is also streamed on Crunchyroll
. The series is expected to be released in six DVD/BD volumes over the course of six months, with the first DVD/BD volume released on December 24, 2010, followed by succeeding volumes near the end of each following month.
In a live commentary held on December 21, 2010, Gainax announced that the final volume, released on May 27, 2011, would include an original video animation
episode. This special episode compiles 8 short stories, some of which are sequels/conclusions to earlier episodes of the show.
On April 14, 2011, North American anime distributor Funimation Entertainment
announced their license to the series, which is planned for DVD release in 2012.
The series' animation is done in a distinct style resembling and homaging North American cartoons, much different than Gainax's previous works, along with the Yoshinori Kanada
techniques normally associated with Hiroyuki Imaishi's work. The series also has many sexual themes in every episode. Following the broadcast of Imaishi's previous project, Gurren Lagann, the show's staff went on a trip for rest and relaxation. At that time, they aired their opinions to each other under drunken and humorous circumstances, saying such things as "Next time, I want to try this" in regards to approaches to animation. Almost all of the concept for the anime was made during the initial trip; the names of main characters, 'Panty' and 'Stocking' were coined at the very first meeting. The theme of the anime is 'vulgar and indecent jokes', with Imaishi saying, "If we are going to do this, we will try it thoroughly." Hiromi Wakabayashi, who provided the initial idea for the series, cited American "adult animation
" as an inspiration for the show's crudeness.

Protagonists
- The older of the Anarchy sisters, Panty is portrayed as a sexy celebrity blonde. She is always looking for men to sleep with, although her low standards and impulsive choices can lead to her dissatisfaction after the act. Panty does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as Stocking, instead preferring to fulfill her personal goal of having sex with one thousand men on Earth before she returns to Heaven. She is rude and aggressive, and shows fondness for living a celebrity lifestyle, especially when it gets her closer to the men she craves. Among the cast, she is most prone to swearing-frequently in English. She likes spicy food and hates sugar, which can lead to arguments with Stocking.
- Panty has the ability to turn her pantiesPantiesPanties are a form of underwear, usually light and snug-fitting, designed to be worn by women or girls in the area directly below the waist. Typical components include an elastic waistband, a crotch panel to cover the genital area , and a pair of leg openings which, like the waistband, are often...

). It is revealed that she can weaponize any sort of underwear (male or female), though this tends to be somewhat unreliable and prone to giving her completely useless weapons. Garterbelt describes her as being the more powerful of the two angels.

girl. She is generally more level-headed and intelligent than Panty, although she can be just as rude as her sister when provoked. Stocking has a gluttonous appetite for sweets and doesn't gain weight from consuming "normal" sugary foods, allowing her to eat them to her heart's content-on the other hand, she despises spicy food. She becomes enraged whenever someone tampers with her sweets or calls her overweight. She also does not share her sister's interest in sex, though she occasionally displays masochistic tendencies such as bondageBondage (sexual)Bondage is the use of restraints for the sexual pleasure of the parties involved.

. He gives Panty and Stocking their missions, and is constantly annoyed and bewildered by their erratic behavior and lack of commitment to the task at hand. He practices bondage and displays homosexual tendencies, with a particular interest in young males-much to the chagrin of Brief, who is a constant target for his sexual advances. However, the last episode reveals the actual reason why he is interested in Brief. Although he is rather vocal about keeping order in Daten City, he has a masked alias known as "Master G", which he uses to disguise his identity while pursuing riskier hobbies. Despite being clear to the audience, everyone in the show seems to be oblivious to Master G's true identity.
- Garterbelt also has a very checkered past; he used to be a gangster who performed all crimes imaginable. He eventually became the greatest crime lord in his town, but was gunned down in his own office. Soon after, he ended up in Heaven, where he was given a mission from God to find "Hellsmonkey"-a key which can unlock the seal of a tremendously powerful Ghost-and protect it from those who would seek to use it.

", he carries a backpack-like device capable of detecting Ghosts and blowing out a smokescreen. Despite being the voice of reason to Panty and Stocking, Brief tends to be the butt of a lot of jokes as he is constantly knocked around and subjected to various forms of abuse, particularly by the Anarchy sisters themselves. A running gag in the series sees Brief falling headfirst into a pile of garbage. His orange hair constantly obscures his eyes, but it doesn't appear to impair his vision, and when pulled back reveals an incredibly handsome face.
- Brief has a big crush on Panty, who is frequently impassive towards his advances; she does, however, develop some feelings for him upon seeing his face (episode 12),and later stops calling him Geek Boy altogether, following Episode 13 Brief has sex with Panty, though he continues to be treated similarly and it appears the relationship has reverted back to normal.
Antagonists
- The daughter of the mayor of Daten City and one of the demon sisters, Panty and Stocking's archrivals. She appears in episode 6 with her sister. Despite being a demon, she is well-mannered and speaks very formally. As Panty's counterpart, she wears two pairs of panties that transform into revolverRevolverA revolver is a repeating firearm that has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing.

. She is obsessed with rules, regulations, and conformity, as opposed to Panty and Stocking's more erratic and unruly behavior. She is, however, somewhat excitable, and becomes extremely frustrated when things don't go her way. Along with her sister, Scanty comes up with various schemes to kill or otherwise humiliate Panty and Stocking, though her excitability during such situations often unintentionally leads to their own downfall.
- The other daughter of the mayor of Daten City and Scanty's younger sister. She wears angular glasses and has her hair in a ponytail. She uses a large amount of English in her speech, even by the standards of the show. As Stocking's counterpart, she wears two kneesocks (actually mid-thigh stockings) that transform into a pair of scytheScytheA scythe is an agricultural hand tool for mowing grass, or reaping crops. It was largely replaced by horse-drawn and then tractor machinery, but is still used in some areas of Europe and Asia. The Grim Reaper is often depicted carrying or wielding a scythe...
s called . Just like her sister, she is obsessed with rules, claiming that they will solve the chaos of freedom. Compared to her sister, Kneesocks is calmer and more reserved, but she tends to fly off the handle when the rules are being disparaged. Oddly, she blushes quite easily, causing her face to become a lighter shade of red. It is implied that she and Scanty have an incestuous relationship.
- The demon sisters' pet sidekick, and the evil counterpart of Chuck. Unlike Chuck, Fastener is more competent in his work with the demon sisters, although he is still subject to various injuries. Like Chuck, he also only says his name and also drives the demon sister's transport, a Limo G-WagenMercedes-Benz G-ClassThe original 460-series Geländewagen went on sale for civilian buyers in 1979, after having debuted in February of that year.

SUV called . Fastener apparently has a history of rivalry with Chuck, dating back to their college days. There is a small red female devil in a black suit living in Fastener's head, who is romantically interested in Chuck's devil.

, but in a much more extreme way; he wears buckles on most of his body, mouth stretching hooks, and his namesake, a corset (he is often seen tightening them). Corset is Garterbelt's counterpart and the two seem to have known each other prior to the story, referring to an "incident" as the last time they met. Both he and Garterbelt have a large X-shaped scar over their hearts. He seeks to obtain Hell's Monkey, a mystical key that has the power to unlock Hell's Gate and unleash the ultimate Ghost, as a part of his plan to take over Heaven and Earth.
- The "monsters of the week", Ghosts are twisted aberrations born from the regrets or suffering of people, or in some cases objects, who had died and got lost in limbo. Panty and Stocking are tasked with their destruction, which allows them to pass on to Heaven, leaving behind Heaven Coins. Although most Ghosts are savage or destructive, some are relatively harmless annoyances or even oppose their true nature and try to live peacefully. Additionally, it is possible to create artificial Ghosts with a complex machine and a Ghoststone, an artifact that absorbs human evil. The resulting replicas are extremely weak, but can be mass-produced at a frightening rate. The mass produced ghosts also produce no Heaven Coins.
- Ghosts are usually slain with angelic weapons, but there are other means of destroying them, such as Ghosts killing each other or accomplishing what they wanted to achieve peacefully. Demons appear capable of powering up Ghosts into larger forms, but it is unknown if they can also kill them. As a recurring joke, whenever Panty and Stocking defeat a Ghost with their angelic weapons, a paper-mache model of the Ghost is filmed being blown-up.
