English Dub Review: New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt “The Ohagi of Doom; Not 2 Home Alone; Six Hundred Sixty Six Candles”

Overview

“The Ohagi of Doom”

Stocking competes against one hundred million Ghosts in a rock, paper, scissors tournament for a limited edition of ohagi. But due to overwhelming odds, she goes to the last person she would ever ask for help from…


“Not 2 Home Alone”

The Poly Twins infiltrate the Anarchy Sisters’ home after sending them on a wild goose chase, but due to various mishaps and compromising situations in the sisters’ rooms, the other tenants hilariously mistake them for the sisters themselves.



“Six Hundred Sixty Six Candles”

Scanty disappears on Kneesocks’ 666th birthday (which is apparently “16 in Demon years”), breaking her childhood promise to attend every year. To cheer her up, Panty brings Kneesocks to Brief’s high school prom, until trouble erupts at the school dance…


Our Take

This episode begins with two playful segments. The first finally gives Stocking the spotlight in a short but stylish showdown, where her swordplay and comedic misfortune take center stage. The second follows the bumbling antics of the Poly twins as they infiltrate Panty and Stocking’s home, only to spark a string of misunderstandings that lean heavily into slapstick humor and Home Alone-style traps. While lighter in substance, both stories deliver fast-paced gags that consistently showcase the show’s trademark absurdity.

Serving as a clear follow-up to the Scanty & Stocking team-up episode, the final segment takes a more heartfelt turn, drawing inspiration from 1980s John Hughes–style teen dramedies while focusing on Kneesocks during her birthday. Pairing her with Panty creates an unexpected but sincere duo, letting themes of sisterhood, loyalty, and quiet support shine through amid the series’ usual chaos. With standout animation, well-placed flashes of backstory, and genuinely touching character moments, the segment expertly balances outrageous comedy with emotional depth, elevating the Demon Sisters’ bond and making this heartfelt yet wild story the standout of the episode.

Overall, this episode strikes a remarkable balance between outrageous comedy and genuine warmth, blending high-energy antics with character-driven moments that give each story weight and personality. Stocking finally gets her overdue spotlight, the Poly twins deliver ridiculous misadventures, and Kneesocks’ storyline brings some unexpectedly emotional yet heartfelt charm, all while the animation and direction keep the spectacle lively and visually engaging. The mix of humor, chaos, and sincere character beats makes this one of the season’s stronger and more memorable installments, leaving a lasting impression that lingers well beyond the punchlines.
