I'm not wholly convinced it's going to be amazing, but nor am I automatically pessimistic about it—just curious as to how they're going to work with it.

It's too early to jump to conclusions, anyway. That's the sort of silliness that comes with the first episode. tongue Or not.

I just can't imagine a show with a character named Panty being good in any way.

Do you like Dragonball?

No, and the people named after undergarments are one of many reasons I'm not too keen on watching it.

I guess it is.

Heh, I'm psychic. (Nyk knows what I mean)

Annnyway, on the subject of this show, it actually looks really awesome. The style does remind me of PPGZ, Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi and, oddly enough, the works of famous fanartist Bleedman. I could really get behind this one.

Whelp, no convincing you then besides trying to be a little more open-minded about these stuff. Or else you'll end up missing out on a lot (not just this upcoming series).

Hey, Ranma One Half was funny.

That's "pantyhose." Though if we're stretching it, I'd also add "Panties."

No, and the people named after undergarments are one of many reasons I'm not too keen on watching it.

What about people named after colors, or musical instruments, or vegetables, or meals, or Journey To The West characters? (Seriously, though — Dragon Ball is fun. The manga, at least. What I've seen of the anime suggests that even in the beginning, they were trying to stretch out chapters to fill a whole episode each.)

I'm not fond of any of those either (except the Journey To The West characters — actually, colours probably aren't too bad either). The main reason I'm not interested in it is that I'm just not into million-episode shounen, but the names do not help.

How about goofy slapstick action-comedy? If you don't mind that, the first few volumes at least are worth a gander.

I hope they make it as lighthearted as it looks in the picture (posted a couple posts back). My head would explode if they managed to deconstruct something like the Power Puff Girls.

It looks promising, needs footage.

In the background, there's a comic look in the preview picture. Makes me wonder if the show will go for a Comic Book Look in some parts...

Looks pretty neat. The sheer blatantness of the Intentionally Awkward Title is definitely winning points with me.

What the hell?

What did I just watch.

Why is it so cool, and it could make fooly cooly look normal.

And why is chuck a Captain Ersatz of Gir and Garterbelt is a black dude with an afro?

I know I'm gonna watch this for the Mind Screw. This series might Dethrone Fooly Cooly as the most Mind Raping anime, ever.

So... it is Charlies Angels + Adult Swim comedy + Gainix. Considering how I avoid Adult Swim comedy shows like the plague, I might watch a couple episodes but my expectations will be low.

Let me embed it for the sake of accessiility

Garterbelt is gonna be an unfunny to rival Batman... I suggest Samuel L Jackson for the dub.

Also, was Panty covered in shit in a couple of sequeneces? Beauty Is Never Tarnished goes down the drain...

And they fight a rugby team in bright pink...

I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to find the right words to adequately sup up my feelings regarding that trailer.

Until I find something better, I'll just have to go with...

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I honestly can't tell whether i like the trailer or not.

it's just so wrong... but it's so wrong it comes all the way back around to being right again...

This looks AWESOME.

I have no clue whether the joke will grow old before the series is over, but I'm in for the ride.

(And LOL at Garterbelt being a black dude in an afro.)
