Panty & Stocking Fans Are Ready for the Anime's Big Return

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is finally coming back for a second round, and fans of the anime classic can't really believe that the franchise is actually returning! When former Gainax employee Hiroyuki Imaishi and many others formed Studio Trigger, they quickly became one of the most notable studios due to how many wild projects they would release in the decade since. As part of the celebration for their milestone tenth anniversary, they held a special panel at Anime Expo 2022 this year and surprised fans with the announcement that the classic Gainax anime series would be returning for a new project after twelve long years.

At the end of Studio Trigger's panel at Anime Expo 2022, a special teaser was shown announcing that "new" Panty & Stocking would be coming our way. It's yet to be revealed what exactly this new project will be, but a major clue that it would be returning for Season 2 was the fact that the titular duo can be seen raising two of their middle fingers...teasing that the anime would be getting a second season after being dormant for such a long, long time. 

It was such a series that it never seemed fit for a second season overall, and given Trigger moving on for so long fans never guessed one could happen.
