You mean the part where they mention Seasons 3, 4, 5, 6, and 100, and something about "Panty and Stocking IN SPACE" and whatnot?

Pretty much
I thought it said Panty IN SPACE though

They aren't confirming it, Panty basically just says there will be a second season and Stocking says it's not confirmed yet, and they go on joking, etc. I'm guessing it just depends on BD+DVD numbers, and, going by pre-order numbers, while the sales look to be on what would be the break even point for most series, considering how low cost PSG production looks, I'm guessing the sales are within profit range.

So wait, how exactly are the sales looking right now? Good or bad?

[Suzuku]

Well, for it, good I suppose. I'm just talking about BD pre-order numbers I saw though, without DVD numbers. We'll get the total sales (DVD+BD) numbers in a week or two, and the DVD numbers should be out tomorrow/today.

It sounded like a "confirmation" to me...

Panty: Look forward to Panty & Stocking season 2!
Stocking: Wa-wait, Panty! It's not certain yet! I would love it if it happened, though...

Gainax made it clear in their Twitter for P&S that fans HAD to listen to the OST to the very ending:

They also said that they're announcing something important in today's live commentary:

I'm pretty sure a second season is coming.

This was in no way a cheap production. It might have looked cheap at times, but that was intentional.

I hope that someone from Gainax is reading these forums, or at least similar responses in other forums, so that they know their last minute troll was successful. I myself am thoroughly enjoying the butthurt about how it ruined "the storyline". Like there was ever an actual storyline... That was so obviously a "hey, we're pulling as many unlikely plot twists out of our ass as possible to end this series" joke, that it's actually not as funny as the SRS BSNS response to it from the fandom is... Not that it wasn't still frickin' hilarious...

TL;DR: The last part after the credits was quite possibly the most successful example ever of a studio telling the fans "Hey, look over there", then shoving a lit firecracker up their collective ass...

*Watches the end of episode 13*

Wow, you guys actually watched this whole thing?

Eh, it is their version of South Park I guess. But if only it could be as funny.

Wait, why wouldn't we watch the whole thing? Did you?

No offense, just a question.

I'm pretty sure it was somewhat cheap because everything by Gainax is very budget conscious to a degree. Gurren-Lagann was relatively cheap and it had a higher budget than PanSto.

No, I just watched the last scene out of curiosity, and it seemed very off seeing live action combined with anime.

You know the exact cost of the production? I'd be interested in a site that listed the cost of specific anime productions lol.

Well, if you want funny, at least try watching episode 4A, "The Diet Syndrome." It's about as funny as this show can get, even if it does take jabs at fat people.

Also, while we're talking about South Park:

It's I think the only part of the show that has live action footage so it's not like the whole show is like that,that's the thing with PSG , it's all over the place with some episodes being competely different from each other (episode 5B has nothing to do with episode 9B that has nothing to do with episode 11B that has nothing to do with episode 6) so one episode can't give you a full overview of the show.

[immblueversion]

I guess that largely depends on whether you think it's off-putting for an American cartoon to use live action elements. This series uses the aesthetic of having the design of an American cartoon, and I believe some live action footage actually compliments that.

Also, there's a recurring gag throughout the series in which the death sequences of monsters Panty and Stocking fight are shot as live action paper-mâché models of the monsters which are then blown up. I have no doubts that you picked up on said sequences in the episode you saw.

[Kallen4life]

yeah, this series was awesome .. gave it a 10 on MAL

bring season 2 !!!!!

Spoiler for Secret OST track:

14:27
P: なぁなぁ、ストッキング。あたしらが出演したアニメ、「Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt」が、どうやら大ヒットで、続編の制作が決定したらしいぜ！
S: はぁ？　そんなの誰が決めたのよ？
P: 続編って言ったら、「R」か「Z」か「Generation」？　つーか、あたしら風に言えば「Seaso n 2」！　ついでに、一本足しちゃったりして、「Trilogy」ってのはどうよ？
S: ちょっと？
P: いやいやいやいや、もう、そこまで行ったら、「Season 4」・「5」・「6」って、いっそ「Season 100」まで行っちゃうか？　それに、ハリウッドで映画化も夢じゃないっつーか？　むしろ必然っつーか？　 世界的なスターになるのも時間の問題？　あたしが世界を、ううん、世界があたしを放っておかな いっての！
S: ちょっと、パンティ！
P: ってーか、てか、てか、よく考えてみたら、この星には収まんねぇっつー話？　こうなりゃ宇宙よ、宇宙！　「 Panty in the Space!」　要するに、はるか遠い銀河系って訳！　あたしらの活躍は、未来永劫語り継がれるべき、無限 に続くサーガになるのよ！
S: ちぃ！
P: ふぅ、やれやれ、人気者は辛いぜ。でも、それがあたしの宿命！　受け入れるべき運命！　OK！　OK！　や ってやろうじゃない！
S: はぁ…
P: で？　いつからやるって？
S: 知んないわよ！　このド腐れゲロ糞ビッチ！
P: 次回、「Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Season 2」！
S: う、ちょちょちょちょちょ！　だから、「決まってない」って言ってんでしょうが！　でも、実際問題、今石監 督次第、かな？

[Fran~]

Gainax doesn't know the word "budget"...

Look at Gainax's history for more info about Wings of Honneamise, financial fraud in the 90s... so...Gainax is probably an unique studio because its history is almost an anime for itself... from Daicon to PSG.

Of course, this is a very rough translation.
