Anime Expo 2022 was filled with surprises, one of them was the announcement of a new Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt anime project by Studio Trigger.
During its panel, the studio showed a short sequence and promotional art of the project. Which makes the production official.
This is the first time we had an official “statement” as back in 2016, Studio Gainax teased that something was “coming soon.” However it wasn't stated if this is a reboot or a continuation of the original anime.

Actually many Gainax staffers that worked on the first Panty & Stocking anime series have gone on to work with Studio Trigger on various projects. These include Director Hiroyuki Imaishi and Character Designer Atsushi Nishigori so it is not a surprise that the studio took control over the upcoming project.
While we don’t have an official release date, we need to admit that this announcement put at ease many fans who were eager to know anything about the series for six long years.
The original series first aired in 2010, with home video releases through 2019. If you are not familiar with it or want to remember old times, you can watch it on Crunchy Roll.
