* Panty mentions that there are guys up in heaven, so yes.

to:

* *** While Garterbelt isn't an angel, he's ''still'' called Garterbelt and even wears a pair of them. Corset is also named Corset (a traditionally womens piece of clothing) and still wears them. I don't think male angels up in heaven have a problem with wearing female clothes at all.

*** Perhaps he's in the same situation as Garterbelt; forced to live an eternity by being immortal as punishment for doing some sort of crime. He is a ''incredibly'' horny dog thing, after all.

Added DiffLines:

** Also possibilities: belts or sock garters (and garterbelts if our Garterbelt is anything to go by). Obviously there are less sexual pieces of clothing that could be used, but given this show the sexual nature seems like kind of a given. The only potential limit could possibly be the fact that most articles of typical mens clothing that could be retrieved easily would be restricted by the fact most men wear pants or shorts (Panty herself wears either, but favors skirts and dresses when going into a combat situation for obvious reasons and seems to only wear them when there seems to be a low chance of ghosts being a threat that day). Girl angels would possibly have the advantage anyway simply because womens clothes like skirts give them easier access to weapons that could be pulled off in a hurry.

** It's entirely possible that they did earn more heaven coins than that, but then spent them at an equal rate. It's implied, given Garterbelt's black heaven credit card and the fact there's a catalog, that heaven coins are more than just tokens to get allowed back into heaven. They're an actual currency used to buy products produced in heaven. Like when Stocking and, presumably Panty, both bought their respective puddings from heaven.

** I'm pretty sure making a porno is a little more extreme than ContractualPurity normally covers, and the movie title is a reference to SexAndTheCity. While I've admittedly never seen that show, I doubt it has that much literal onscreen, explicit, no-clever-lighting-and-concealing-camera-angles sex.

Added DiffLines:

** It's implied in the first episode that technically these 'ghosts' that the angels face are physical manifestations of grudges and negative emotions that rolled over from real life (Terao produced a ghost out of himself that was implied to be made up of suppressed negative emotions built up from his humdrum life and stressful workplace, which came to a breaking point when he vomited at the work party he was forced to attend over his daughter's birthday), not simply the spirits of dead people as the term 'ghost' would usually imply. Par for the course with angels, Panty and Stockings' angelic weapons may act as purifying tools that dispel the negative emotions that make up the ghosts they face. As for how ghosts kill one another, remember again that these are physical manifestations, implying that it's them being present on the earthly plane that allows them to exist in the first place, and they're not necessarily dead or even undead, strictly speaking (which may be why the ghost zombies presented such a problem in the first place). Though normal weapons would likely have no effect, a ghost using their own attributes, or the demon sisters using their weapons, simply allows them to kill the ghosts as easily as one normal person killing another. The difference for them being that demon and ghost weapons are meant for destroying all things (even fellow ghosts), while angel weapons are meant only to purify personified negativity (and not strictly kill).


Added DiffLines:

** Ghosts don't necessarily represent grudges so much as negativity in general. Patrick Fagry, the ghost that Stocking fell in love with, was considered the manifestation of regrets of men who died before ever finding love. Hence he was gross and sleazy, but ultimately harmless and, in the end, desiring to find happiness above ever destroying anything as ghosts do. Perhaps Mister Husband was a manifestation of pets who died in some way but still had enough regrets to stick around despite being so good natured (such as pets who died without finding a master to be loyal to, or those who just wanted to be loved by humans). As for Chuck, well... he feels like something of a special case, and perhaps not necessarily a ghost.

** There's a difference between being in a porn, and having lots of sex. It's a common double standard in the Entertainment industry. It's the same reason in real life that everyone is shocked by a sex tape of a celebrity even if the actor was notorious for being sexual. There is a difference between knowing that someone has lots of sex, and seeing them having sex. Not to mention that porn has certain connotations to it that are generally frowned upon, and seen as selling one's body in some circles.

** She was most likely an angel then. Panty and Stocking were always angels, just bad ones. Stocking likely became a fallen angel over time which was foreshadowed by her liking a ghost and contemplating not going to heaven.

Possible reason why Panty and Stocking only had three Heavens for 35 ghosts

*** Since they never cease to indulge in the sins that got them fallen from heaven, it's likely that they just had to start all over.

** For that matter, right at ther start they have three Heavens... but Giant Brown Ghost is revealed in 12A to have been ''Number 36!!''

** Except Garter *did* tell her about that part (that's how we find out, unless Garter made it up) and she DIDN'T have sex... and that's when the hymen regenerated, and that's when she lost her powers... maybe it was all so she could give Brief her virginity

If it really was a condition and Garter didn't tell her, it couldn't be her fault. The upshot probably is that...
*** Panty was having sex in a too emotionless, literally notches-on-the-bedpost kind of way ('Who needs love when you can have hot, steamy sex' was probably a statement of self-denial). It was damaging her angelic feminine powers. The moment she denied her feelings for Brief (by wanting to sleep with him as 'the thousandth man')was probably the moment her hymen grew over again (although the loss of powers she experienced when Garterbelt interfered with her attempts to have sex with the men at the party suggests this was well in progress already.. she didn't have the same feelings for those men as she did for Brief, so it is ''not'' sleeping with them that was damaging... although it was what led to her making love to Brief as her thousandth-first... God Moves in Mysterious Ways


Added DiffLines:

** She lost her powers when Garterbelt interfered with her attempts to have sex, and also when she tried to have sex with Brief as if he was just a 'number one thousand', going against her feelings towards him in a way that wouldn't have happened if he was a different man. Both of those incidents went against her feelings and damaged her powers.

** For her lifestyle and lack of effort, Panty was sentenced to restart the Heaven Coins hunt from the beginning, but without having sex. Garterbelt forgot to tell her about the 'not having sex' part, so she was {{Depowered}} by hymen reconstruction, with a nigh-unbreakable hymen to make the punishment stick. But once she learned how to enjoy life and you should do what you ''truly'' want, and she made love (love, ''not'' sex) to Brief, she was able to break the hymen and recover her powers.



*** OR....the Stocking that killed Panty wasn't REALLY Stocking! Think about it- Stocking just repented and got entrence to Heaven again in ep 12. Well, maybe the Devils of Hell disguised one of their own to LOOK like Stocking, sent her to join Panty again, gain her trust and belief that this is her sister...and kill her? Maybe Season 2 will begin with the REAL Stocking coming back to destroy this evil doppelganger and save her sister.

*** One of the criteria for a BLAM[[hottip:*: 1) Comes right out of nowhere. 2) Has little to no effect on the plot. 3) Is ridiculously over the top. 4) Is never mentioned again.]] is that is has little to no effect on the plot. "Alp Girl Panty" ''has'' an effect on the plot, as it gets Panty out of her Heroic BSOD. So no, it's not a BLAM.

** Or maybe, even though Stocking's a devil, she's not keen on working for Corset, and only wants to open the gates of Hell and take over Heaven if ''she's'' the one running the show. So she joins forces with Panty to cut Corset down to size, then allies with him to re-open the gates of Hell now that she's the one with leverage.
