The great debate.Scanty and Kneesocksfags need not apply.
Kneesocks.

Panty
Scanty & Kneesocks didn't have nearly enough screen time to be as well-characterized and charming and Panty & Stocking. I suspect the people who prefer them are judging them based on fetishes moreso than how good they are as cartoon characters.

That's like saying characters from long running shonen series are more well-characterized than those from 12 episode series.
Eyepatch-chan

As for Panty vs. Stocking: I choose Panty x Stocking

Okay, good point; but honestly I think Scanty & Kneesocks just didn't have enough characterization. They were portrayed too much like just "the silly Team Rocket-like villains" and didn't have enough really great moments.

You could perfectly make the opposite argument. If someone preferred a character with little screen time over those with much more background, it'd be because how likeable they are compensated for the lack of screentime.

That manga was pretty great.

There is nothing to debate here.

I can see the logic behind what you're saying, I just don't think it applies here. They both had plenty of screentime.
Good taste otherwise, though.

Yeah you're right, screen-time was a poor argumentation on my behalf. I just think Scanty & Kneesocks weren't used well enough.
I mean I like them, they're fun and charming in the characterization they did get, I just think they could be utilized better and fleshed out more in more episodes. But it's very possible Gainax will make S2 without the main staff (IIRC Yamaga said P&S2 will be made, but Trigger said they would "like to make a new Panty & Stocking if they had a chance" so he told them NOTHING). I doubt that will be any good.

I think the Yamaga quote you're remembering was that it was "in the pipeline."
Last I heard Trigger say anything was when Wakabayashi responded "how do you know it's not happening?"
Anyway, I like the whole dynamic S&K had between each other and with P&S. They're my favorite.
>>143476549
IIRC Yamaga literally said "in the production satges"

Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Apparently it was at some Asian convention, without a further source than that.
