The story is about the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, who are angels kicked out of Heaven due to their bad behavior.  They are sent to Daten City— a place located on the border between Heaven and Hell, which is besieged by evil spirits referred to as “Ghosts”. Under the watchful eye of the reverend Garterbelt, the two are tasked with collecting enough Heaven Coins to buy their way back into Heaven by destroying Ghosts using their powers, including the ability to transform their lingerie into weapons. However, Panty and Stocking are constantly sidetracked by their respective interests in men and sugar.

On April 14, 2011, North American anime distributor Funimation Entertainment announced their license to the series, which was released on DVD on July 10, 2012. The first two episodes were made available for streaming on May 22, 2012 for those subscribed to Funimation’s Elite Video Subscription service.

The series’ animation is done in a distinct style resembling and paying homage to North American cartoons, along with the Yoshinori Kanada techniques normally associated with Hiroyuki Imaishi’s work. The theme of the anime is “vulgar and indecent jokes”, with Imaishi saying, “If we are going to do this, we will try it thoroughly.”
