About Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt

The Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, are angels who were kicked out of Heaven due to bad behavior. They are sent to Daten City, a place located on the edge of Heaven and Hell, where creatures called "Ghosts" have run wild - feeding on human desire. Under the watchful eye of Reverend Garterbelt, it's up to Panty and Stocking to destroy these Ghosts, in order to collect enough Heaven Coins to return to Heaven. Only the Anarchy sisters can save humanity from these monsters and when they're not bickering with each other, they're unstoppable.


FUNimation will release the complete series on DVD in 2012.

On Blu-ray and this year, possibly not too late in it? Good enough for me right now.

Wait, wait, wait....

How much is panty and how much is stocking with garterbelt? If it's anything less than an 80/20 proportion I just can't buy it.

Looks like Funimation *intends* to get a BD out, but Kadokawa are being dicks about it (refer to some of the other threads about this issue).

Hope Funi can breakthrough on this and get a BD release out before long.

All the Japanese extras plus outtakes? Other than not being on Blu-ray, this is pretty much the best I could ask for of this release.

[ToAruOni]

Lots of extras, but I'm not paying $38 for a freakin' collection on DVD. I'm not happy about this, Kadokawa.
