Gainax’s New Anime Is Not Audibly Safe for Work
Gainax finally released a preview of their new anime, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Shockingly for such a title, the video is safe for work… assuming you mute it. Because while the show might look like the Powerpuff Girls on copious amounts of LSD with a pair of panties that turns into a gun and stockings that turn into swords (get it? GET IT?!), the sound is simply the girls moaning salaciously in a techno repeat over and over. Which will make it sound like you’re watching underage anime porn, even though you’re not. Probably. I assume. (Via AnimeVice)
