After nearly 15 years, the notoriously raunchy and visually distinctive anime Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has made its triumphant return with a new season, New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Fans who have eagerly awaited the further misadventures of the Anarchy Sisters can now delight in the latest episodes, including the recently released Episode 11, which continues the series’ signature blend of irreverent humor, explosive action, and unique animation style.
The Long-Awaited Revival: New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt
The original Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt first aired in October 2010, quickly garnering a cult following for its bold, Western-cartoon-inspired aesthetic and unapologetically vulgar comedy. The series, originally produced by Gainax, left fans on a significant cliffhanger, leading to a decade-plus of fervent speculation and hope for a continuation.
That hope materialized when Studio Trigger, formed by several former Gainax employees including original director Hiroyuki Imaishi, announced at Anime Expo 2022 that they had acquired the rights to the Panty & Stocking IP and were developing a new project. This new series, officially titled New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, premiered on July 9, 2025, with weekly episodes releasing on platforms like Amazon Prime Video for worldwide streaming. The return of Imaishi as director, along with Hiromi Wakabayashi and Atsushi Nishigori handling series composition, assured fans that the essence of the original would be preserved while benefiting from Trigger’s acclaimed animation prowess. The new season also introduces fresh dynamics with the addition of two new angel brothers, Polyester and Polyurethane.
Episode 11 Breakdown: A Fresh Dose of Anarchy
New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Episode 11, released on September 17, 2025, continues the chaotic tradition with multiple segments, offering varied comedic and action scenarios. These segments maintain the show’s fast-paced narrative and often surreal humor. For instance, one notable segment, “Being Chuck Maldehole,” delves into the roles of Chuck and Brief, providing them with central parts in a fun, if straightforward, adventure that includes pixel-art sequences and nods to pop culture like Being John Malkovich. Another segment, “Panty Shorts and the Penis of Doom,” further immerses viewers in the show’s characteristic absurdity.
The episode showcases Studio Trigger’s upgraded animation, delivering visually striking action and humor without losing the original’s soul. Fans can expect the usual array of demons, dirty jokes, and stylish transformations that define the series. The episode’s narrative might also blend seemingly standalone shorts with subtle lore drops, keeping viewers engaged in discerning what contributes to the overarching story versus what is pure parody.
Continuing a Cult Legacy
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt made waves in 2010 by deliberately emulating the art style of early 2000s American animation, particularly drawing aesthetic inspiration from shows like The Powerpuff Girls, while contrasting it with highly explicit and raunchy humor akin to South Park. This unique juxtaposition of visuals and mature content, coupled with its episodic structure and memorable characters, cemented its place as a cult favorite.
The return under Studio Trigger signifies a new era for the Anarchy Sisters. With the original staff at the helm and a studio known for its dynamic animation and creative freedom, New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt aims to amplify the madness and continue the legacy of a series that defied anime conventions. The new season is poised to explore new scenarios, introduce compelling foils, and push the boundaries of adult animation even further.
