hey guys I have an idea, how about we make another Panty & Stocking thread, I mean 200 in the last 2 hours isnt enough, right?

And what the japanese have to say about this? What is their reaction?

"Too western?"

>>40080357
I agree man. We should sage bomb all these shitty P and S (Piss and Shit) threads because that's what every does when they see our K-On threads. You reap what you sow.

Why would you want to watch a shitty westernized show?

>freaking awesome
nope.avi

god damn, calm the fuck down with these threads.

GL was shit and this is shit too.

When will anyone have good tastes in shows?

>>40080415
Fuck yeah man, let's do it. That'll teach 'em not to mess w/ us!

>>40080415
Goddammit fanbases.
Can't a guy decide to like both shows?

>>40080381
I don't understand how they can not like something because it's too western, but they eat up shit like One Piece, which is essentially a long running American comic with one author.

>>40080452
>GL was shit and this is shit too.
>My opinion is fact
>I wasn't here in 2007 when the majority of /a/ liked TTGL

Hurr.

Except a tv anime will never have the same budget as PPG did, i'm not sure how it's going to end because it's Gainax.

>>40080498
>majority of /a/ liked TTGL

>>40080464
No. We have drawn the battle lines, you can like Panty and Stocking or you can like shit. There is no in between.

oh god that looks so good, i cant wait until it gets dubed

>>40080524
>We have drawn the battle lines
lol moefaggots.

RETURN TO >>>/c/ OR SUFFER MY CURSE

>>>/co/

>>40080521
You weren't here in 2007, your opinion is invalid.

Majority of /a/ liked Gurren Lagann. That's how it was and you got on /a/ way after Gurren Lagann has finished airing. Deal with it, newfriend.

>Did not care at all about this until just now.

>Watched Promo.

Fuck Yeah this looks awesome.

>>40080524
Then I am the battle line itself.

Sounds like shit from your description OP.

>captcha hiv/aids cusek

>>40080521
Guess what? It was liked by /a/.

>>40080644
>>40080610
It's still liked by the majority of /a/. Have you even been in those endless 3x3 threads?

>>40080610
That's because the pepole who liked GL were more vocal about it than people that didn't.

In a similar manner you can say that /a/ likes Angel Beats because we saw a lot of posts saying it was great. But it's just that the people who didn't like it didn't post as much as the people that did.

i can only imagine whats gonna happen when this gets dubbed and all the hipsters jizz on it

>>40080725
Even more ammo to piss off moefags with. Fucking glorious if this gets popular. I can only pray.

>>40080676

animationfag here, it look like shit

>>40080357
We would need to make at least 200 more to keep up with all off the K-SHIT threads here.

>>40080725
>hipsters

stop using that word, because it's doesn't mean what you think it means

>>40080641
Oh snap!

>like some cartoon you would see from cartoon network or something, before 2000 hit and western animation was dumbed down for 5 year olds.
Fix'd. I miss the 90s cartoon quality.

Bitches and Whores: The anime.

>>40080946
>i think kara no kyoukai was consistently well animated

>>40080946
>Implying your opinion matter at all

Tee hee

This looks fucking abysmal.

>>40081086
>before 2000

I don't remember anything like this show back then. If anything, the shows that came after 2000 looked more like this.

>>40080676
Angel Beats thread weren't anywhere NEAR the amount of threads that Gurren Lagann had

There was a fucking STICKY for the last episode

>>40081086
>I am so mad and asspained because it doesn't look like every other animu out. Bawwwww
Fixed for accuracy

>>40081118
>It's not moeshit so i don't like it. BAWWWWW

Fuck off back to /c/

>>40081135
What? This screams Cartoon Cartoon, Ren and Stimpy, etc.

>>40081086
>before 2000 hit and western animation was dumbed down for 5 year olds.
Samuarai Jack was 2001 and it was great

Adventure Time and Flapjack are great too quit being a nostalgiafag

ALSO: technically, this will be a 26 episode series. it's just that they're going with an aproach more common in western cartoons i.e. two smaller episodes in a half-hour time slot. so endless CN nostalgia here.

ITT:
Faggots who didnt watched Dead Leaves

I fucking love Saturday Morning cartoons

oh fuck yes, going to enjoy this, hatersgoingtohate.jpg

>>40080357
I have to lol at yoy faggots acting surprised at the amount of Panty and Stocking threads. The shit was popping up a lot on /a/ bofore there was even a trailer to look at. Now that the trailer is out what the fuck did you think would happen? Also get used to it. I as i have gotten used to all of the retarded moemoe# 658 threads on /a/ on a daily basis

>>40081282
>Panty & Stocking have to fight against a gang of cycling Ghosts in a race of death.
>Animation director: Sushio
this is too perfect.

Sounds really worthy of a check out.

so since m-flo is doing the soundtrack, why are they still constantly plastering GEEKS all over every P&S picture?

>>40081327
Only with sOx!

sounds like shit

>>40081280
maid cafes and hostess bars

WHY

WHY THEIR FEET IS PIG-LIKE?

I still want to see that other trailer that they showed at that hobby show in Japan.

12 minute per episodes

It definitely had a OP and ED for each episode too, fuck this.

Style reminds me of Genndy Tartakovsky. I like it.

>>40081534
>Comercials? what are those?

>>40081524

Even as a footfag, I don't complain.

>>40081534
But it´s TWO episodes per episode.

>>40081534
>12 minute per episodes

excuse me?

>>40081534

No, it only has one OP per block of episodes.

tbh this is a pretty awkwardly thrown together trailer

in trying to sync it with the (hilarious) music it's kind of hard to figure out what the hell is going on and requires tons of pausing

>>40081534
Think Magipoka.
It was 24 minutes long with 2 mini-episodes that made up one "episode".

Hey guys. What happens if japanese people hate this and it is not even selling?

Or it will sell because HERP DERP GAINAX = APPLE = SO COOL?

After seeing the trailer this just became my "most look forward" show of the season. Along with the world only god knows, I haven't been this excited for a new season of anime in a long time.

>>40081613
clearly gainax's glorious trailer is too deep for someone like you

>>40081613

You expected anything else? This is Imaishi going back to his roots as a storyboard artist. I mean, could you tell what the balls was going on the first time you saw that Haruko vs. Amarao shootout in the barber shop?

TTGL was the aberration in his work. That was grounded, logical and made sense. Sort of.

>>40081628
also ninja nonsense/shinobuden

>>40081659
Yes, because Gainax always sells

We Gainax fanboys love mindlessly spending money on Gainax-related products.

Deal with it.

>>40081613

I've never seen a well-edited Japanese trailer.

Not once.

Anyway, the new plot summary makes it sound like it will actually have a story. Daten City is the battlefield of God and the Devil. Panty & Stocking were banished from Heaven to Daten City due to bad behaviour. They're collecting Heaven Coins of good deeds.

looks crap

>>40081699
>I mean, could you tell what the balls was going on the first time you saw that Haruko vs. Amarao shootout in the barber shop?
YES!

it was a perfect action scene, it was fast and crazy but you didn't have to watch it twice to figure out what was going on even when Haruko was doing crazy shit like slicing bullets in half.

I see what they were trying to do here but I don't think it works TOO well. could've at least had one somewhat long shot of an action scene at the very end.

>>40081699

I think he means that the trailer itself is probably not fully indicative of the pacing of the show itself as it is just a bunch of scenes randomly thrown togheter.

JUST LIKE EVERY SINGLE OTHER JAPANESE TRAILER OUT THERE

I mean it. Japanese people can't edit trailers worth shit.

>>40081726
I thought he was holding a Connect Four tray.

>>40081726
As long as the dog does not shit them out once the monster of the week is defeated...

>>40081760
>could've at least had one somewhat long shot of an action scene at the very end.
They're teasing you, idiot. They're obviously not going to show you a large scene that they worked very hard on for a trailer. They're saving it.

That's why it was so cut up. They're hiding it from you.

>>40081760
>could've at least had one somewhat long shot of an action scene at the very end.

No Japanese trailer is ever like that. They're randomly edited scenes put togheter.

Deal with it.

>>40081788
>JUST LIKE EVERY SINGLE OTHER JAPANESE TRAILER OUT THERE
Misleading trailers are hardly exclusive to Japan

Anything that deviates into heavily stylized or experimental / weird animation is guaranteed to be hated by /a/.

If it is not some slice of life cute girls doing cute stuff show with cookie cutter designs then it is shit.

The 11's are guaranteed to hate it for the same reason though, they are what the cast of /a/ aspires to be.

>>40081760

> could've at least had one somewhat long shot of an action scene at the very end.

I guess. For a min and a half I don't think it really matters though. The actual show will be full of that heavy contrast, staccato editing though, I'd put money on it. Its pretty much the defining quality running though all of Imaishi's work.

>>40081884

11's have three reactions for it:

-Westaboos love it.
-Sakugafags think it has tons of potential.
-Loli otaku don't care.

>>40081806
>>40081788
Star Driver's trailer was better put together than this

Take this back to /co/ Powerpuff Girls kiddies.

>>40081917

Between this, Heroman and HOTD those Westaboos must be having a good year.

>>40081884
How come Katanagatari has a decent following on /a/ then?

>>40081934
how about FUCK YOU

>>40081884
>guaranteed to be hated by /a/.
Samefagging trolls is not /a/ man. I guarantee you the same people who will say they think this is shit are the same people who will say K-on is moeshit, then turn around and say HnK is not moe enough.

Nice i totally called that stocking was going to dual wield her stockings.

It was the first thing i thought of when i first heard the premise for this show.

>>40081893
once again Imaishi's other work is fast paced and whatnot but not in the same way as this trailer, it's just a Youtube Poop-esque clusterfuck of various scenes pasted together to the music

once again I'm not saying it's a bad trailer or that I'm not thankful that they finally posted it but I wouldn't compare this to Imaishi's usual stuff. hell I doubt he even directed this trailer (and if he did then it's not as good as his other stuff)

>>40080328
>made by same guys as gurren lagann

you are now aware that the young ones will think of GL when we talk about gainax

>>40081927

Star Driver's trailer was all scenes from the first episode, though. PanSto's trailer features scenes from different episodes. Anyway, I think the show looks great and I love how filled with little details every frame is... but the trailer was too random and every single time it was getting good it cut off to something else.

is it just me or is this show's budget even smaller than Gurren Lagann's?

the animation looks great anyway because the people involved are very talented but it doesn't look like they're getting the best funding or anything.

>>40082011
That's fine. Gurren-Lagann's staff pretty much exemplifies new Gainax anyway.

I imagine others have said this, but it looks _exactly_ like the powerpuff girls. Almost as though Craig McCracken and Genndy Tartakovsky were involved.

But hey, gainax, who knows what those guys will do.

Katanagatari
>stylized
>experimental
>weird animation

>>40082001

Directors never direct trailers. Trailers are put togheter by the marketing staff.

Anyway, TTGL's trailer was also pretty ass.

>>40082049
ITANO CIRCUS

WITH BEES
>>40082011
they'll think of GL and this. don't see anything wrong with that, they're a pretty good summary of what modern Gainax is all about.

>>40082052

Who knows.

>>40082001

I wasn't saying it was comparable to his usual stuff, quite the oposite. I don't see his hand on the editing there at all and he has a very, very distinctive way of editing and pacing.

And it was the pacing that was off about that trailer rather than the speed. Thats why I agree he didn't have a hand in it, there's no way he'd fuck up the pacing like that.

>>40082057
> I imagine others have said this, but it looks _exactly_ like the powerpuff girls
only people who can't tell very blatant differences in art style say this

seriously, there is clearly an influence but it's not the only one. if anything the characters are more Jhonen Vasquez-ish than PPG.

I expected WOAH-OH-OH-AH-AH-AH-AAAA-HA-AH-AH-AH
where's my WOAH-OH-OH-AH-AH-AH-AAAA-HA-AH-AH-AH?

It looks shit.

>>40082111
okay sorry, I misread your post.

My reaction to the pv.

The reverse-weeaboo is physically present in that trailer.

>this looks EXACTLY like PPG
>this looks EXACTLY like Zim
>wow way to rip off Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi guys...
>wtf it looks exactly like Samurai Jack which looked exactly like Dexter's Lab
>wow, what is this Johnny Test shit

/a/ confirmed for being the weeaboo equivalent to /co/ elitist "ALL ANIME LOOKS THE SAME" faggots

The round eyes might be a homage of sorts to PPG (but it's not like PPG invented that either). The styles are completely different otherwise.

>>40082291
cry more you fucking faggot

>>40082057
attentive viewers will note how some characters in the show Panty and Stocking have hair. JUST LIKE IN POWERPUFF GIRLS.
Perhaps the creators of Panty and Stocking obtained the "hair" idea from studying the characters in Powerpuff Girls.

At least is not filled with Lesbianism shit like today shows

>>40082304
>cry more
I'm surprised you didn't use MOAR.

The fuck is this?

>>40082291
In our defense, /co/ mostly likes anime, as long as long as you don't try to discuss it there.

I like how there's so many trolls and complainfags for a show that hasn't even been made yet. Good job.

Reminding you once again that one of the animators is a huge westaboo.

Hey look the Power Puf....... Oh nvrmind.

Is this Billy and Mandy?

>>40082368
there are some really annoying elitists there though

when I said "/co/" I meant Western cartoon nerds in general, a lot of them think all anime looks the same and can't notice blatant changes in style the same way these people can't tell the difference between this and Zim and PPG and AmiYumi

>>40082407
not "one of the animators"

the LEAD animator and the guy who originally pitched this idea to Imaishi to begin with.

>>40082407
That Bloo

>>40082291
In all honesty i think it does have somewhat of a Tartakofsky look to it, but i mean that in a good way. I enjoy his work

>>40080328
I honestly thought that was a picture of Patamon for a second.

As much as I tend to like most Gainax shows I watch and they're probably my favorite studio, I can't really say I'm looking forward to P&S.
I like goofy balls-to-the-walls stupid action shit but I'm really just not feeling this.
Nevertheless I'll probably give it the same chance I give everything, as I am not a faggot.

So, what nickname are we going to give to this show? I suggest something like "Powerpuff Sluts" or something of that nature.

Is gainax so it will get both undeserved hate and love

>>40082580
which is funny since even though PPG had Genndy working on it too, it is technically a Craig McCracken show.
>>40082625
have you seen Dead Leaves?

>Concerning the trailer, I don't mind fanservice, but putting a remix of orgasming women is just forcing it. and japanese women don't even sound like that, AT ALL. Good thing they're experimenting with different styles, too bad it blatantly looks like Powerpuff Girls. They should just rename the whole thing to Powerpuff Sluts and that would have done just fine.

jesus, these comments are retarded.

inb4 "why are you reading Youtube comments" but come on, it's obvious that these people are from /a/.

If I wanted to see a regular cartoon, I'd turn on my tv.

>>40082732
Regular american cartoons aren't allowed to have sex and violence in them

>>40082732
If you turn your tv on, you will find anything but cartoons

>>40082769
violence is okay. As long as you don't show guns. Lasers are okay.

I can see this show on adult swim in a few years

First HeartCatch is more like a Western cartoon than a generic kid's anime, then Heroman, and now this. It's like Japan actually knows that 90s/early 2000s cartoons were appealing to all ages and genuinely funny, and are trying to do their best to become more like Americans and produce GOOD anime!

i love this

>>40082865
it will probably be "licensed" (not really but I'm not sure what the proper term is) instantly like Tatami Galaxy was

it would be great if AS gave it a chance but I kinda doubt it, all they seem to be airing now anime-wise are fighting shonen shows clearly aimed at kids. sure they always did that, but they also brought in stuff like Paranoia Agent and Cowboy Bebop which was great.

>>40082876
Jap Culture is all about working the best of other things into theirs. Sure, they can be slow learners at times, but they're amazing in their own little way.

Some really interesting shots there, like this one, for example: a plumber visits a slutty looking housewife, sure sounds like a porn plot to me.

/co/ here.

Can we take Panty and Stocking from you if you don't want it?

>>40082899
if AS licensed, then we'd have a bunch of fat goths thinking this is the new thing and start dressing like stocking.

Who the hell drew this bit? I swear it looks like the work of some female Gainax animator but I can't quite remember her name.

>>40082932
nearly every sakugafag on /a/ is looking forward to this show as are tons of other people

if you can't see the extent to which tons of people on /a/ are looking forward to this then you are wilfully ignoring its popularity so you can feel better about (supposedly) being a minority

>>40082941
Looks like Nishigori's GL work to me

>>40082876First HeartCatch is more like a Western cartoon than a generic kid's anime

You obviously never watched cashern sin

>then Heroman

STAN LEE, are you this fucking stupid?

>now this.

This is just one guy's work


Were you even old enough to watched any of the 90s cartoon.....?

>>40082941

I'm sure that's by Nishigori.

Anyway, I'm sure I know what female animator you're talking about. Shouko Nakamura, right? The one that drew Nia cooking pastry and sexy nurse Yoko? She is AD for episode 4.

>>40082932
Give us Avatar The Last Airbender or Boondocks first then we'll talk.

Can we use this show as an excuse to start up an English sakuga community

>>40082939
who cares, as long as the show becomes more successful and the creators get more money?

annoying fans always exist, even in small fanbases. I've been a testament to that from the get-go. so I'm not sure why you're all so opposed to your favorite anime creators (oh no!) becoming successful.

First PSG cosplay spotted!

>>40083052

Jesus Christ, Japan.

I hated this from the moment I heard of it. Having just watched the trailer... It might be alright

Pretty sure I'll buy this shit once it comes out on DVD/BD. Only 13 eps too, not much of a commitment there.

>>40083036
>>40083036
>>40083036
>>40083036
>>40083036
I SUPPORT THIS as long as it won't be a Livejournal group or something lame like that

an actual forum would be perfect. I guess there's Ben's forum for Anipages Daily but it's really slow moving and far from the huge community it deserves.
>>40082989
...OH! yeah it most likely is, and Nishigori isn't a girl
>>40083016
yeah that's the one I was thinking of.

>>40083036
It already kind of exists as on /a/ in the form of a trolling group.

>>40082769
Because sex and violence are what makes good entertainment.

As Gainax goes I much more in the Anno camp than the Imashi. I found bits of Diebuster and Dead Leaves a bit too obnoxious for my tastes. Still I like Powerpuff Girls so I'll give it a shot. I have about as much faith in it as I do in Genndy's robot show.

Also anyone denying that it looks like a Genndy show should have their eyes checked.

I'm willing to give this a chance.

The animation is different and it will be a refreshing change of direction. + I really like the idea on gainax doing a comedy.

>>40083016
>Woman doesn't get to direct a show about slutty women until episode 4
lol

Look at this picture. It is from the trailer too.

Apparently Panty was having sex with a policeman.

>>40083136
Imaishi has had this direction style for ages.

watch Dead Leaves if you want to see him do an action-comedy similar to this.

>This just screams Saturday morning cartoon

Fucking this. I haven't been this pumped up for an anime in a while.

>>40082876

There's been a good range of shows this year already. I am impressed, Japan. Keep it up.

wait... so they turn their underwear into guns and swords?

>>40083197
>violence and sex jokes and shit and vomit
>Saturday morning

>>40082876
Agreed except that Iron Man has been confirmed to look like shit.

THEY ARE MAKING NEW EPISODES OF POWERPUFF GIRLS?

If this show turns out to be anything like Re:Cutie Honey it will reach my top5.

>>40083277

Yeah, its more that the second trailer was just a massive step down from Koike's first trailer which looked totally sweet. The actual show might be OK, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

>>40083296
First episode was directed by Imaishi.

I imagine Panty and Stocking will look exactly like that whenever Imaishi is directing. Should happen quite a bit.

>>40082932
I don't see why we can't share.

>>40082049
THOSE MOTHERFUCKING BEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

>>40083296
I expect it to be exactly that.

>>40083006
HeartCatch acts more like a Western cartoon not because of Umakaoshi's art, but because of the humor. It's not the regular terrible Japanese humor, consisting of puns and OH NO SOMEONE PEEKED AT MY PANTSU IYA~ ECCHI BAKA. HeartCatch is actually funny.

Heroman, well, it's the usual American coming of age tale, but with the regular androgynous ladyboy one would expect from Japan. I know Stan Lee came up with it, but it's still a step forward for Japan to cooperate with an American and make an anime like this even though it has a lower chance of doing as well as if it took place in Japan.

PanSto is being done by westaboo Yoshinari and motherfucking Imaishi. Yoshinari dreamed of making this, and the Western influence is very obvious. You can't look at this and not realize that the guy who came up with it fucking loves Western cartoons, and think that it's a total coincidence that it happens to look like it had help from Craig McCracken or Genndy Tartakovsky.

THINKING THAT THREE SHOWS IN A SINGLE YEAR THAT HAVE WESTERN INFLUENCES IN SOME WAY OR ANOTHER ARE A SIGN OF CHANGE IN THE ANIME INDUSTRY IS STUPID, SINCE THERE'S OBVIOUSLY NO WAY THREE UNRELATED SHOWS BY THREE UNRELATED STUDIOS WITH HIGH-PROFILE STAFF COULD POSSIBLY CHANGE ANYTHING IN JAPAN, RIGHT?

>>40083052
Well that didn't take long. Doujins for this will be glorious! Especially if they stick to the shows style.

>>40083052

HHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

Can't we have Stocking and Other Stocking instead?

>>40083396
Is it worth reminding you that anime has always been highly influenced by the west...?

>>40083535
Since, like, forever.

>>40083535
It DID, but don't believe anime walks around on stars & stripes-patterned crutches.

>>40083458
