English Dub Review: New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt “The Brothers from Heaven”

Overview

Our Take

Much like how the first season changed the dynamics of the series by the 6th episode, Season Two continues that tradition and reinvigorates the series with the arrival of two flashy new angels whose high-tech style, douchey attitude, and youthful energy shake up the established cast dynamic. Their playful generational clashes and chaotic presence spark fresh rivalries, while a charismatic new ally adds both firepower and fan-favorite energy, creating a lively mix of comedy, chaos, and inventive character interactions.

The rest of the proceedings is a visual feast, as it thrives on over-the-top action, sharp comedic timing, and a flood of pop-culture nods, from nostalgic homages/parodies to films like the John Carpenter movie “They Live” to the newcomers’ flashy skills and irreverent humor clashing with the established leads, producing dynamic rivalries and unexpected alliances, while fluid animation, Jaw-dropping & inventive transformation scenes, and a catchy soundtrack keep the visuals lively and the pacing energetic, all while hinting at broader worldbuilding.

Overall, this episode is one of the season’s most energetic and confident installments, blending humor, action, and inventive visuals without losing focus on the core cast. The new characters add fresh energy and playful chaos, while the lively animation and strong comedic timing keep the momentum engaging from start to finish. Even without revealing plot specifics, the episode sets up a vibrant and unpredictable tone, promising an unraveling plot for the rest of the season, especially after the post-credits cliffhanger!
