A demon girl tries to have a bowl movement while a gigantic ghost turns buildings into sushi; a ninja turtle parody becomes a violent Gamera parody; and a serial killer inspired by Dario Argento movies is thwarted by the infamous angel who uses her panties as a gun in the new episode of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.

The first two segments are very short with around half of the episode given over the Dario Argento parody of which, alas, there are no clips yet available on YouTube. It's certainly the best part with odes to Argento's 1970s giallo movies Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Deep Red, and, especially, Suspiria. The killer is fixated on slutty blonde girls who all happen to resemble Panty so she and Detective Dario (a caricature of Argento himself) round up all the slutty blonde girls in town and have them stay together in a reproduction of the ballet school from Suspiria. The show even does the scene where maggots start falling from the ceiling.

Maybe the first two segments were funnier, though. The Demon Sisters, in contrast to Panty and Stocking, who are always fighting, are always praising each other excessively. It's the kind of ironic humour that isn't so ironic if you start to think about people who praise one another to excess.

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is available on Amazon Prime.
