The staff for the New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT<\/a> anime<\/a> announced on Thursday that the final episode of the series will air immediately after episode 12 for an hour-long finale special on September 24.<\/p>\n The anime’s “censored” version premiered<\/a> on Tokyo MX<\/a>, BS NTV<\/a>, Sun TV<\/a>, KBS Kyoto<\/a>, Mie Television Broadcasting<\/a>, TVQ Broadcasting Kyushu<\/a>, Gifu Broadcasting<\/a>, and TV Hokkaido<\/a> on July 9. The “original” version premiered on AT-X<\/a> on July 15. The anime started streaming on Amazon Prime Video<\/a> on July 10, with other streaming services debuting the show later. The version of the show differs depending on the streaming service. The world premiere for the anime screened at Anime Expo<\/a> on July 4.<\/p>\n The returning cast members for the new anime are:<\/p>\n Y\u016bto Uemura<\/a> and Junya Enoki<\/a> voice the new characters Polyurethane and Polyester. The two are the “Tenshi” (Angel) brothers. Polyester is the older brother, and Polyurethane is the younger brother.<\/p>\n Akeno Watanabe<\/a> stars in the new anime as Kneesocks, replacing Ayumi Fujimura<\/a> from the 2010 series. Y\u016bko Natsuyoshi<\/a> voices Fastener, replacing Miki Makiguchi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hiroyuki Imaishi<\/a> is returning<\/a> to direct the anime at Trigger. Hiromi Wakabayashi<\/a> is returning to write the script along with Imaishi. Wakabayashi is also serving as a concept planner. Atsushi Nishigori<\/a> is continuing on as the original character designer. Shigeto Koyama<\/a>, Sushio<\/a>, and Masaru Sakamoto<\/a>, who all previously worked on the original as animators or writers, are designing the characters. Koyama is also credited with art direction. Yoh Yoshinari<\/a> is listed as a “special specialist.” Geek Fleet<\/a> is credited for the original draft.<\/p>\n Kadokawa<\/a> describes the new anime’s story:\n<\/p>\n In Daten City, a realm between heaven and hell, sinister spirits known as “Ghosts” prowl the streets, feeding on human desires and resentment.<\/p>\n Yet, in the darkest moments, two figures emerge to obliterate these vengeful beings with a divine light beyond human understanding.<\/p>\n Their names? Panty & Stocking! But who are they, really? Both Sushio and Mai Yoneyama<\/a> are returning<\/a> to work on the new project. Yoneyama worked as a key animator on the previous Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt<\/a> anime, marking her debut as a key animator. Sushio will work on the new project as an animator. He had worked as an animation director and key animator on the original show. Studio Trigger<\/a> had previously noted<\/a> at Anime Expo in July 2023 that Sushio wanted to work as key animator on the new work, but Trigger did not officially confirm his work on the project at that time.<\/p>\n The original 13-episode anime aired in 2010. Imaishi directed the anime at GAINAX<\/a>. Geek Fleet was in charge of series composition, and the music featured songs from Teddyloid<\/a>, Booty Bronx<\/a>, Taku Takahashi<\/a>, and more. Atsushi Nishigori was in charge of the character design.<\/p>\n
