It will be split into two parts: a daytime session (doors open 12:00, show 13:00-15:30) and an evening session (doors open 17:00, show 18:00-20:30), each with different content. Scheduled speakers include director Hiroyuki Imaishi, series composer and assistant director Hiromi Wakabayashi, character designer and art director Shigeto Koyama, and character designer and chief animation director Masaru Sakamoto. Additional guests are still being negotiated. The event will cover behind-the-scenes stories, design processes, and unreleased materials from the series, focusing on aspects not previously discussed in streams. Ticket price is 4,400 yen (tax included, fees separate). A lottery application period runs from October 6 to October 12, with results announced on October 14. General sales begin October 18 if tickets remain. Each ticket is limited to one per person, and attendees must follow COVID-19 safety protocols including temperature checks and mask-wearing.","whyItMatters":"The event offers a rare deep dive into the production of Trigger's recent sequel series, with the studio promising exclusive content that has not been shared in any prior broadcast or interview.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe talk event is the latest in a series of staff-focused gatherings hosted by Trigger, but this one is specifically tied to the conclusion of the \"New PANTY \u0026 STOCKING with GARTERBELT\" anime, which aired its final episode earlier in 2025. The daytime and evening sessions will have distinct programs, though the studio has not yet detailed how they differ. The confirmed panelists represent the core creative team: director Hiroyuki Imaishi, who helmed the original 2010 series and its sequel; series composer and assistant director Hiromi Wakabayashi, a longtime Trigger collaborator; character designer and art director Shigeto Koyama, known for his work on \"Gurren Lagann\" and \"Kill la Kill\"; and character designer and chief animation director Masaru Sakamoto, who also worked on the original series. The event title's \"3D Uncut Version\" tag is a playful callback to the franchise's aesthetic, but the content is strictly a talk format with no recording or photography allowed. Tickets are sold through LivePocket, with a lottery system for the initial round. The venue, Theater Mixa, is located in the Mixalive TOKYO complex, a live entertainment space in Ikebukuro. Trigger notes that if the lottery fills all seats, no general sale will occur.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Trigger is holding a staff talk event for New Panty \u0026 Stocking on Nov 2, with director Imaishi and the core team sharing production secrets never discussed in streams.
