Love the voice cast (outstanding English dub). The idea of foul-mouthed angel sisters Panty (a sex maniac) and Stocking (a sugar addict) getting kicked out of Heaven for 'bad behaviour' (never specified) is a funny one. Their attempting to earn their way back in is pretty much all there is in terms of connecting plot; apart from that the episodes are pretty self-contained. There's a lot of innuendo and fan-service (without it there wouldn't be much of a show!), as well as extremely strong language, but it's done in a very funny way. And some of the dialogue between Panty, Stocking, and their Earthly 'handler', Garterbelt, is laugh-out-loud. The big problem with the show is lack of consistency.
Some episodes are pretty good, one is very good; and a few are downright poor. Almost all episodes consist of two separate stories, one usually stronger than the other (episode ratings above are averaged out over the two stories; sadly, ratings of strong segments get dragged down by weaker ones). There's far too much reliance on 'toilet humour'. And the art/animation is sometimes wanting; Panty and Stocking, their demonic opposites Scanty and Kneesocks, and Garterbelt, are fine, but several supporting characters are jarringly drawn/animated in a style reminiscent of 'Ren & Stimpy' or 'Courage the Cowardly Dog', which I can't stand.
The ending of the final episode infuriated some fans at the time, whilst others loved it. The promised (or trolled?!) second season never arrived. A return was teased a few years back but nothing came of it. If it did come back, I'd watch it. When this series hits it is very funny. Overall rating, 6.5/10.
