Studio TRIGGER is officially the owner of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt rights and is starting work on the previously announced new anime project. Studio GAINAX held the rights for the series created by Hiroyuki Imaishi (PROMARE) who went on to start TRIGGER. A new visual and trailer are out:
The Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt anime has a cult following and is well known for its crude language and humor. Masahiko Otsuka served as the assistant director, while Yo Yoshinari provided concept art. Atsushi Nishigori was in charge of the main character designs and Takahashi Taku composed the music with TCY Crew.
In addition to anime, Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt series also has a manga by TAGRO. Dark Horse imprint licensed the manga and describes the plot as:
Panty and Stocking are cute but highly dangerous angels, booted out of heaven for wrath, sloth, lust, envy, avarice, and gluttony (at least pride wasn’t high on their list). Now residing among the sinners of Daten City, the angels try to earn their way back into grace by exorcising evil at the behest of their questionable preacher boss, the Afro-bedecked Garterbelt!
The new project was announced at last year’s Anime Expo.
