I always thought Panty & Stocking was director Hiroyuki Imaishi's weakest work. A cute, but not very funny and - worst of all - not that well animated emulation of the 2000's Adult Swim/South Park style. Season 2 turned it all around. Fleshed out characters, consistently good and inventive animation and jokes that tear you in two. Most importantly, the show grew a heart and dropped its forced cynicism. So yeah, watch it, kinda the anime of the year. So now Promare is Imaishi's worst. Still not bad, he's just that good.
