Now, let's see how will they dubbed this, is it going to be censored or they're going to keep the original :D

-- I'm looking for "The One" and I'll find her more quickly if I audition two at a time. Think you can do better? --

Well FUNi licensed Freezing, so I don't expect it to be censored, and in Eva 2.0 they dropped the F Bomb in the first 5 minutes.

I'll agree: Awesome. Looking forward to this.

There was an announcement for a second season put in the secret track of the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt soundtrack, but it apparently isn't set in stone yet. Look here:

I thought part of the charm of the show was the frequent Engrish cursing and insults. As a dub, it's a bit more traditional cartoon. The disgusting Ren and Stimpy meets the vulgar Beavis and Butthead?

That would be unlikely but if all anime were dubbed by famous actors/actresses then I would watch them in English :P

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

This is perfect for Adult Swim, not to mention better than most of the things they have on there anyway.

Anywho, blu-ray release please :D.

Actually, I'd be more worried if they decided to up the cursing to make it edgier.

Is that even possible?
"Tonight, I sit in the eye of the storm. As fire boils around me, I press forward, winds and lightning lashing my wings. I am no match for what I face. Yet I will not back down, and though fear may place it's stranglehold on my heart, courage will see me through. With tears in my eyes, I hit full throttle. My engines become an inferno, and my weapons light up, awaiting my command.

If I die tonight, I will do so fighting for everything I believe in."

I don't know the premise of this show, but i heard its DEFIANTLY stupid. Something about angels using undergarments as weapons...

and its art style is reminesent of mid-90's cartoonnetwork cartoon characters (powerpuff girls)...

But thats about it.

It's GAINAX produced however, so ill give it a look-see

I think Panty & Stocking may be one of those shows that are better dubbed. Definitely looking forward to this.

Oh man. Those were the cartoons of my time. :)

I'll give Panty and Stocking a watch. The fan hype is convincing me.

If I hadn't seen the Funimation dub for Hetalia, I would be horrified at the potential censorship. But I have no worries. I actually think that this could be pretty interesting. Looking forward to it.

Yeah, Thankfully we don't have to worry too much about censorship now a days, especially in straight-to-DVD/BD releases.

If this boosts its popularity, resulting in a second season, then great!
I still think about censorship spoiling stuff; people like me (20+) have often seen/heared some bad cove-up and for that reason, I avoided watchng dubs, yet it seems that in recent years, the West have eased up on it.

Too bad Funimation reuses so many of the same voice actors, though. ;/ I can already kind of predict who will play who...Vic Mignogna as Brief? Laura Bailey as Stocking? Pleaseee prove me wrong, Funi! ;A;

Hooray! I get to hear Stocking in english.

I think this is one of those anime shows that sound good in english. I think its mainly because the animation style resembles american cartoons.
