Looks like it's official that Panty's and Stocking's real names are Pantiel (or Panyel?) and Stockiel. At first I thought that was just Reiwa kodomo pronunciation or something the dub made up, but you can see Pany's name on her Heaven License. It makes perfect sense, since angel names usually (always?) end it -el, I just did not expect the Japanese to include that bit. I wonder if the Reiwa kodomo twinks' real names are Polyestriel and Polyurethanael.
Speaking of Reiwa kodomo twinks, I was kind of let down after the first couple episodes until episode 6 when the brothers were introduced. The first episode was fantastic in how it followed up after the ending of the original show. I was fully expecting them to go "lol, that never happened", but no, they actually went along with it. Sure, it was all resolved in one episode and then it was back to normal, but that's fine with me. I loved how the next episode was mirroring the first episode of the original show.
The Reiwa kodomo twins are great. What's cool is that they are not really villains like the demon sisters were, instead they are more like rivals. It would not make sense to have "evil angels", that's what demons are. While the demon sisters had their rrrrules, the Reiwa kodomos have their work-life balance. It was hilarious in episode 9 for one of them to come in at the last second, then the build up of this epic team-up, only for him to bail the second his shift was over. They even have their own stripper transformation scene. I was not prepared for it at all, even though I totally should have seen it coming. Episode 6 was really wild. The only thing that's weird is that they are not named after underwear. I guess Jockstrap and Sock just didn't have a good ring to it.
All in all I love the new season. I have rewatched every episode multiple times and I dread the end of this season. Especially the musical
>>72437 was just pure joy, and I usually hate musicals.
There are two changes I noticed:
< No more Garterbelt "lol le pedo priest" jokes
I guess those were pushing the boundary too hard. I cannot say I miss them though. Apparently Garter is straight now? I the episode with the turtles Stocking mentions he's on a date with a woman who own a platypus.
< No more Chuck abuse (or at lease much less of it)
This one got old really fast in the original show, can't say I miss it.
< A lot more ghosts were redeemed this season
I think the only ghost who got redeemed in the original show was the bachelor ghost. This season we have the Duelist ghost, the Bitch Killer ghost, Vibe and Loser Hat. I kind of like that.
