Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is for the most part an enjoyable romp, absolutely completely hilarious and with fun over-the-top action. It's on my top 10 list of Animes for sure!
It's refreshing to see an Main Anime Heroine with a strong sense of sexuality, something that is rarely seen outside of the....disreputable Hentai genre (even there, a lot of the heroines don't seem to get much fun :( )). The series humor absolutely kills, though it can still prove to do more then just comedy when it needs to.
My favorite episode by far is episode 9. "If the Angels wore Swimsuits" was a hilarious first half with a thoroughly entertaining "battle" between the Anarchy Sisters and the Demons. I was sure the second half would disappoint but instead "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City" stirred real emotion in me, and was the first time I considered the characters beyond their basic gag.
All that said, it's not perfect...I don't like the Demon Sisters as much as everyone else seems to with their overtly narrow shtick. I liked them in episode 6 (their introductory episode) and of course episode 9 as I mentioned earlier but the rest of the time, the antagonists of the series both Major like the Demon Sisters and Corset, and the minor Ones like the Ghosts just weren't very entertaining or funny to me.
Also the ending is WTH. Like...seriously....what? I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it's quite a shock and I don't mean that in a good way. It's too bad there hasn't been a season two......
Good Clean Fun ;)
