Shout-Out examples in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.

---

General

• To get the most obvious out of the way, the style of the art, tone, and episode structure resembles one of Cartoon Network's most popular shows, The Powerpuff Girls.
• A pair of beautiful angels who wreck havoc wherever they go? One of which has bright, messy hair with a harsh attitude and the other long, darker hair with a (slightly) more controlled personality? They could almost be stand-ins for the girls from Dirty Pair Flash.
• Panty (while in Art Shift mode) has been compared to Miki Hoshii from The Idolmaster.
• Stocking's appearance and theme may be based off of Marie, from Marie And Gali; in which Marie is also a goth girl who enjoys sugary foods, carries around a plushie, and wears gothic lolita styled clothing.
• The chant Panty and Stocking say during their Transformation Sequence is very similar to Hell Girl's chant before she ferries people to hell.
• Then there's the chant from the dub: "O evil spirit born of those drifting between heaven and earth, may the thunderous power from the garments of these holy, delicate maidens strike down upon you with great vengeance and furious anger..."
• Scanty and Kneesocks could be one to Him of The Powerpuff Girls.

  • The design of Scanty and Kneesocks make them appear like Palette Swaps of Yoko and Nia.

• Chuck bears a striking resemblance to GIR's dog disguise from Invader Zim.
• Corset seems to bear a resemblance to Darkstalkers' Jedah, with a little Dimitri thrown in. He also resembles Triple-6 from Hiroyuki Imaishi's previous work, Dead Leaves.
• Ghosts tend to die in classic Super Sentai fashion: horrible pun, explosion.
• When the moon is a crescent shape, it looks all chewed-up.
• The Demon Sisters' insignia looks like the Bat-Symbol.
• The Demon Sisters, despite having horns and bright-red skin, often remain disguised until they reveal themselves by throwing off their costumes in one swoop - which directly mimics Team Rocket's antics in nearly every episode of Pokémon.
• In the English Dub, Christopher Sabat (Garterbelt's voice actor) seems to be doing his best Samuel L. Jackson impression, especially when he says "motherfucker" in some variant.

  • Fry, you say? More like Suneo all grown up.
• "Let's ditch the idiot with the outdated doll's name, Stockin'."

• When the ghost releases smaller monsters, the sound effect is identical to the one used by Poké Balls.

05-B "Vomiting Point"

The title is a reference to Vanishing Point.

• The episode could be a reference to the The Powerpuff Girls episode "Town and Out" (which had the girls moving to a much more realistic city).
  • Also, the Art Shift has been compared to the styles of both Satoshi Kon and Studio 4C. In reality, the episode was referencing something much more obscure - Shinya Ohira's episode of The Hakkenden, which angered many fans as a result of its realistic, "ugly" aesthetics and loose style. This reaction mirrored the one that fans had while watching Osamu Kobayashi's episode of Gurren Lagann, episode 4, and this episode could easily be seen as an attempt to create a similar reaction.
    • Little Tokyo bears a lot of resemblance with Treasure Town from 4C's Tekkonkinkreet in particular. The audience even visually enters Little Tokyo along with a black crow. The character designs are also exactly like the ones in Tekkonkinkreet.

• The whole episode is a huge shout out to Transformers, of all things. Mostly the live-action movies and the G1 Toon, but with little details here and there from the franchise's entire history.

• The dub completes the homage with soundalikes of Peter Cullen, Frank Welker and narrator Victor Caroli.
  • For what it's worth, the Japanese voice cast outdoes the dub in that regard; the voices for not-Optimus and not-Megatron are actually the same voice actors as from the Japanese dub of the G1 Transformers cartoon.
  • Also the Starscream expy sounds kind of like its G1 self.
  • And there's also iconic lines from the G1 movie like "one shall rise, one shall fall" and "why waste your life".
• Brave Police J-Decker's transformation sequence was used by the suicide bomber

07-B "The Stripping"

The title is a reference to The Killing.

• The guy whose car Panty and Stocking wash looks suspiciously like Tsuna.

• Brief in a red Playboy Bunny costume reminds of Haruko in Episode 5 of FLCL and, by extension, of the bunny girl in Gainax's early effort Daicon IV.

• Panty wearing a red Playboy Bunny costume and Stocking wearing a black one?

• It's their first day as cops in Romero & Carpen Town, and the city has been overrun with zombies. Sound familiar?
• This episode features zombie ghosts. Zombie ghosts.

• Tom Croose? Right out of Magnolia, even.
  • The English dub leans in to the reference even further, with Croose telling us what we should respect and tame.
• A ghost rampaging in a courthouse after ripping itself out of an electric chair? Panicky judge begging for the heroes to do the very job which he had just frowned upon? I could swear I've seen a scene like this before...

• Then she changes into something straight out of The Thing (1982), and when killed, her final line is, "Carpenter!"

10-E "Help! We are Angels"

The title is a reference to Help! (the Japanese dub is subtitled We are Idols).

• Panty and Stocking fight a six-armed clockwork suit of armor that is reminiscent of Viral's mecha.

11-B "Nothing To Room"

• The entire set-up appears to spoof sitcoms. But the only time a studio audience is heard is when Chuck enters the scene.

• Corset's plan is to arrange a marriage between Brief and Scanty, then use Brief's penis atop a symbolically-shaped tower as the key to release an Eldritch Abomination. Sounds awful familiar, and considering the Ghostbusters shout-out with Brief mentioned above, probably not coincidental.
• The emergence of the ghost resembles the opening of the gate in Fullmetal Alchemist.
  • Even more so when you remember that Corset is opening the gate and freeing the ghost to invade heaven, and in FMA, Father opened the planet's Gate to drag God down to Earth.
• Corset's "death" from being squashed by a very large foot from the sky reminds one of something completely different.
