Can't they just air it at 11pm? I mean isn't that the time shows like South Park are aired? (/me doesn't know at all :3).

Actually, the person in charge of AS's acquisitions has a thing against raunchiness and fanservice, especially in anime. Kim Manning, I think it was

I'm sold. I was sold before, but now I'm like, 400% sold.

That was one of the most refreshing first episodes I've ever seen. I loved Dead Leaves, and this is like, Imaishi turned up to 4 gazillion.

DEFINITELY following this one.

And I reaaaally want an OST. Like, bad. The song played during the stripper sequence was KILLER.

[Ichijo]

This was... something else. My mind has been blown. Can't wait for the second episode.

the change in art style for transformation sequence was unexpected and left me hoping that they'll use that art style more. Not everywhere, but at least once in an episode.

Well she's a complete moron if she's gonna skip out on this potential goldmine, especially if she's responsible for that COMPLETE TRASH I linked to.

Well, Boondocks is a hit-and-miss for me actually.

She, you mean.

Pole dancing angels hunt evil spirits.

Why is this so awesome?

... Oh, yeah. Pole dancing angels.

The art style is like what would happen if Genndy Tartakovsky was the art director for Cowboy Bebop... with POLE DANCING ANGELS!

Yeah, that was one of the moments that sold me on this show.

[JiffyGB]

The police force finally knows its place in a show like this.

If you can't beat em, just zerg rush the unholy crap out of em!

[Syntron]

I would like the entire show to use the artstyle of the transformation scenes...

Adult Swim aired Super Jail; they could air PanSto easily if they wanted to.

We've seen that already. It was called Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! No thank you. PSG's best point is that it's so different from just about everything else. Different can be good. That's something the otaku horde needs to be reminded of every once in a while.

I have faith in Gainax and Imaishi - legendary director, legendary studio. I even get what they're going for here, I think. But as a lonely voice in the wilderness, I just don't think this has legs. Once the shock value and novelty wears off, is there really anything there? How many shit and f*ck jokes can you repeat without it going stale? I found it marginally funny the first time. It's hard to imagine it's going to be funny repeated over and over.

There's nothing wrong with an anime inspired by Powerpuff Girls and Aqua Teen Hunger Force, even if those shows aren't my cup of tea - we've certainly had plenty of American cartoons influenced by anime. But is that really enough to sustain a series once you get the joke? The again, it is Imaishi - maybe he's got a miracle up his sleeve, a story concept that will piece the heavens...

It's not an "us vs them" case here. We're all idiots in one way or another.

I'm with you but trust me: people are gona eat this up like there's no tomorrow. Many people seem to enjoy this kind of dirty jokes quite a bit hence why there's so many fart apps in the app store.

Still it is gainax so they might surprise us with something but I just don't see how it can be even remotely good let alone awesome.

I have no doubts as to whether this is going to be popular - I'm confident it will be one of the biggest hits of the fall. I just question whether it's going to be good...

[Dextro]

Meh, even if it is good it's not gonna be my cup of tea but I don't judge those who enjoy it.

Anyway: when can we expect an OST out for this, anyone know?

Well some of the viewiers here seem to agree with me that the transformation scenes are something very enjoyable within this show, infact they are the climax of the first story. So i just expressed my approval with that opinion. I don't know if an entire show could work that way, but if we enjoy a short sequence so much, then i think it could actually work (and be more compatible with the "otaku horde", thus making more money). But i like the artstyle of the show, so im not a hater.

[Used Can]

I thought the first episode was quite shitty - pun not intended.
The character designs weren't particularly to my liking. The jokes, in my opinion, were of very poor taste, and the whole "we're bad girls" thing was rather meh... I thought it was rather interesting one of the girls was sexually active, but it eventually got old. Although, I guess this sort of humour is rather popular nowadays, particularly with Americans. So, I'm not surprised it's been well received by several people.

The only thing I liked was the henshin scene. I can watch that one several times.
