The Shocking Truth: How Old Are Brief, Panty, And Stocking Anarchy Really?
The seemingly simple question of "How old is Brief Panty and Stocking?" unlocks one of the greatest—and most hilarious—secrets in the lore of the *Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt* universe. As of December 22, 2025, with the highly anticipated *New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT* series on the horizon, the ages of the Anarchy Sisters and their favorite geek, Brief, are more relevant than ever.
The answer is a chaotic mix of human high school drama and biblical-level antiquity. While one main character is explicitly a teenager, the other two are ancient, foul-mouthed angels whose true ages defy human comprehension. This article breaks down the official ages, the canonical hints, and what the upcoming 2025 sequel means for the characters' timelines.
The Official Ages and Character Profiles of the Anarchy Crew
The core trio of *Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt* is defined by their wildly contrasting ages and personalities. Understanding their canonical profiles is crucial to grasping the dynamic of the show, which takes place in the bizarre, ghost-infested Daten City.
- Panty Anarchy: The older of the two Anarchy Sisters. She is a crude, hedonistic angel whose main obsession is sex and men. Her weapon is her panty, which transforms into the powerful gun, Backlace.
- Stocking Anarchy: The younger sister, but equally vulgar. She is obsessed with sweets, Gothic-Lolita fashion, and has a surprisingly dark nature. Her weapons are her stockings, which transform into the twin katanas, Stripe I & II.
- Brief "G-String" Rock: A clumsy, self-proclaimed occult maniac and geek. He attends Daten City High School. He is the sisters' primary source of information on the Ghosts and the supernatural. He is also the only human member of the crew with an explicitly stated age.
- Garterbelt: The priest of Daten City and the Anarchy Sisters' demanding supervisor, responsible for collecting Heaven's currency, the Heaven Coins.
- Scanty & Kneesocks: The demon sisters from Hell, serving as the primary antagonists and evil counterparts to Panty and Stocking.
Brief Rock: The Definitive Teenager
Among the main cast, Brief Rock is the only character whose age is clearly and consistently stated in the show's lore.
- Brief's Age: 16 years old.
- Status: High school student in Daten City.
- Key Role: The long-suffering sidekick, the "geek boy" who often gets bossed around by the angels.
His teenage status is central to his character, highlighting his awkwardness, his secret crush on Panty, and his generally naive perspective compared to the Anarchy Sisters' world-weary cynicism. The fact that a 16-year-old is constantly involved in battles against grotesque Ghosts and demons like Scanty and Kneesocks is part of the anime's dark humor.
Panty and Stocking Anarchy: The Ancient Angels
Unlike Brief, the ages of Panty Anarchy and Stocking Anarchy are intentionally left ambiguous, though the series provides massive hints that they are far, far older than they look.
- Panty's Implied Age: Appears to be in her late teens or early twenties (a young adult).
- Stocking's Implied Age: Appears to be in her late teens or early twenties.
The crucial piece of lore that shatters their youthful appearance comes from a specific episode. During a flashback, it is strongly implied that Stocking is over 500 years old. As they are both angels sent from Heaven to fight the forces of Hell, their true ages are likely closer to centuries or even millennia, explaining their casual attitude toward human customs and their immense power.
They are essentially immortal, ancient entities trapped in the bodies of hyper-sexualized, pop-culture-obsessed young women. This contrast is the core comedic engine of the entire series.
The New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT Timeline: What Changes in 2025?
The biggest update to the *Panty & Stocking* timeline is the long-awaited continuation, New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT, which is set to premiere on Prime Video starting July 9, 2025. This sequel, produced by Studio Trigger (the spiritual successor to the original studio, Gainax), brings the Anarchy Sisters back after more than a decade.
The primary question for fans is whether the characters will have aged. Given the established lore:
- Brief Rock: While the original series ended on a massive cliffhanger, it is unlikely that Brief's age will have advanced significantly. The new series is expected to pick up close to where the original left off, perhaps with only a slight time jump. He will likely still be portrayed as the 16-year-old "G-String" geek, or perhaps 17 at most, keeping the high school setting of Daten City relevant.
- Panty and Stocking: As ancient angels, time is essentially meaningless to them. They will look exactly the same as they did in the original series, maintaining their iconic, anarchic visual style.
The return of the original Japanese voice actors—Arisa Ogasawara as Panty and Mariya Ise as Stocking—suggests a strong commitment to character continuity. The new series will introduce new antagonists and allies, such as the mysterious Polyester and Polyurethane, further expanding the lore beyond the original demon sisters, Scanty and Kneesocks.
