I have one theory as to why stocking turned on panty!
remember the ghost that was squirting her ummm..."cream" and making people fat what if that "cream" infected stocking in a somehow different way and it just started to take effect. Kinda like a failsafe for the bad guy.

It pains me to look at something so frickin' awesome and at the same time worry that it merely portrays a concept that may never come to be realized... It's almost about as bad a feeling as seeing a TV show you like being canceled without a thoroughly satisfying conclusion and then learning about all the things that could have been had it not been canceled in the first place.
Still, it gives more for the fans to muse over.

And yes, you are grossly overthinking this.

So that excuse about sports, tampons, etc stretching or breaking the hymen ain't gonna pass in certain areas. Engaging in oral sex and anal sex only still makes you technically a "virgin".

...In a series where it is actually germane to the story in a serious sense (like Dance in the Vampire Bund): Not overthinking it. ...In a series where it is tangentially discussed: Overthinking it. ...In this series (even if it is germane): Grossly overthinking it. Of course, let's be honest. Serious discussion of pretty much anything in this series is grossly overthinking it.

I don't think it's grossly overthinking. Limiting virginity to vaginal virginity (and the one that leads to the reproductive organ) is archaic. Guys in the end just want to only have potential responsibility for "their" own offspring and that's why the limitation is in place. Pretty archaic in the time of birth control.

Yeah, so, how about those Panty & Stocking sales, people? Not doin' too hot. :/ Kinda sad, I expected it to be blasting through the roof or something. Perhaps I have overestimated Gainax?

And you are thinking far too much about this, not because the subject matter isn't worthy of discussion, and not even because you're blowing it up into some misogynistic conspiracy involving a definition of virginity that no one with any sense is saying is anything more than symbolic, but because it's in the context of a series that had monsters made out of poo and vomit and an episode centered around the "nasal g-spot". Undoubtedly the only reason they even came up with the whole "angel hymen" thing is so they could get to bleep whatever the word for hymen is and come up with an in-story reason to get Brief laid (the irony of a slutty "virgin" was icing on the cake). Serious discussion of any kind is really missing the point. When you have to explain a joke, it's no longer funny.
