In Daten City, a realm between heaven and hell, sinister spirits known as "Ghosts" prowl the streets, feeding on human desires and resentment.

In difficult times, two powerful beings appear with a bright light that surpasses human comprehension, eliminating the malevolent entities.

Their names? Panty & Stocking!
These fallen angel sisters have been tasked with purging the darkness engulfing the earth.

But who are they, really?
Are they truly messengers of God... or agents of the Devil?

Hiroyuki Imaishi will be back as director for the anime production at Trigger. Along with him, Hiromi Wakabayashi will return as scriptwriter and concept planner. Atsushi Nishigori will continue as the original character designer. Shigeto Koyama, Sushio, Masaru Sakamoto, who previously worked on the original as animators or writers, will be involved in character design. Koyama will also be credited with art direction. Yoh Yoshinari will be listed as a "special specialist." Geek Fleet will be credited for the original draft.

Sushio and Mai Yoneyama will be joining the team for the upcoming project. Yoneyama is making her debut as a key animator after working as one in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Meanwhile, Sushio will be working as an animator after previously serving as both animation director and key animator for the original show. Although Trigger had mentioned at Anime Expo in July 2023 that Sushio was interested in working as a key animator for the new project, they did not officially confirm his involvement at that time.

In 2010, a 13-episode anime was released under the direction of Imaishi at GAINAX. Geek Fleet was responsible for writing the series, while music from Teddyloid, Booty Bronx, Taku Takahashi, and others was featured. Nishigori was in charge of character design for this production.
