New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT

New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt was announced as a revival of the cult classic 2010 Gainax anime series, marking the first major production under the new licensing agreement held by Studio Trigger. Following a prolonged period of rights acquisition and creative restructuring, the series was designed to revisit the irreverent, high-energy aesthetic of the original work while leaning into Studio Trigger's signature hyper-kinetic animation style. The revival represents a significant industry milestone, as it reunites key creative talent to continue the chaotic adventures of the Anarchy sisters in a contemporary television landscape.

The visual direction for this project aims to preserve the crude, Western-influenced cartooning style that defined the original while updating it for modern production standards. Studio Trigger's creative team, known for projects like Kill la Kill and Promare, approached the revival with an emphasis on stylistic continuity, ensuring that the subversive humor and distinct character designs remained intact. The announcement of the series was received with considerable enthusiasm by long-term fans of the franchise, who had speculated on the possibility of a continuation for over a decade following the studio's acquisition of the intellectual property.
