Two irreverent angels, zero shame. Panty and Stocking were expelled from the pearly gates for their foul‑mouthed, rebellious ways and now prowl the lecherous abyss between Heaven and Earth hunting ghosts and other spirits. Panty is obsessed with sex, Stocking with sweets, and they operate under the guidance of their eccentric, afro‑sporting mentor Garterbelt, whose odd predilections remain unmentioned.

In a bizarre pocket of the afterlife perched between Heaven and Earth, two fallen angels are forced to earn their way back home. Stripped of their celestial privileges, they now roam the neon‑lit streets of Daten City, a place where the ordinary collides with the supernatural and every alley hides a lingering spirit. Their mission is simple in concept: hunt wayward ghosts, collect the shimmering Heaven Coins they drop, and trade enough of those for a ticket back through the pearly gates. The city itself hums with a reckless energy, its absurdity matched only by the sisters’ unapologetic attitude.

Panty and Stocking bring a wildly unconventional approach to ghost‑hunting. The former can transform a pair of panties into a rapid‑fire gun, while the latter converts a single stocking into a razor‑sharp sword, turning everyday lingerie into lethal weapons that affect only the ethereal. Their contrasting personalities—Panty’s overt, flirtatious bravado and Stocking’s dead‑pan, candy‑obsessed cynicism—fuel a constant, comedic tug‑of‑war that keeps the audience guessing which absurd impulse will spark next.

Guiding them through this chaotic bounty is the eccentric priest Garterbelt, whose afro and unorthodox mentorship provide both direction and a steady stream of sarcastic commentary. Alongside them stalks Chuck, a mutative dog who speaks only his name and endures a barrage of physical comedy, and Brief, an awkward teenage tech‑whiz whose infatuation with Panty adds another layer of cringe‑worthy humor. Their interactions form a ragtag family of misfits, each bringing their own brand of irritation and affection to the nightly grind.

The series blends high‑octane action with a glossy, over‑the‑top visual style, delivering each ghost‑busting bout with kinetic flair and a soundtrack that feels ripped from a late‑night anime marathon. Amid the flash of guns, the bite of swords, and the ever‑present city neon, the core intrigue lies in whether these irreverent angels can outwit the spirits that haunt their new home—and whether they’ll ever truly earn redemption, or simply learn to enjoy the chaos along the way.
