I'd certainly hope so. I remember now that I was partway through the next episode with the racecar (or was it a motorcycle?) guy and he was just doing the most awful penis jokes (or where they even jokes?)

Um well i do agree that Panty and Stocking gets better, but it never loses that style of humor. It's a lot of curse words, sex jokes and movie references.... lot's of em. The dub reflects that admirably lol.

I like Gundam X quite a bit i will say, definitely my favorite non UC Gundam. Gundam Wing was cool too, one of the first espionage style shows i ever watched and it happened to be a Gundam.
Gundam 00 reflects the same style well too, season 2 didn't do it justice though....... the MOVIE on the other hand had the coolest 20 minute space battle scene i'd seen in years so kudos to Gundam 00 for not being total ass.

I tried Panty and Stocking and thought it sucked. Admittedly I only gave it one episode but the humor was too much brainless potty humor. I don't even have anything about crude jokes it's just that in this case I didn't find it funny.

To be fair you probably can't expect too much from a show called "Panty and Stocking".

I find it hypocritical for Berserk fans to complain about fanservice when the berserk manga features monster rape consistently.

There's a difference between nudity/rape and fan service. Chiefly being that one is meant to titillate for it's own sake and the other isn't. To cite an example for a comparison between the two, the Goat orgy in berserk served to portray the people of the church encampment as being not much better than the demons at the eclipse, equally profane, delighting in their profanity and their baseness and carnality. On the other hand that scene in highschool of the dead where the one girl's boobs are super duper jiggly and the sniper shoots through them serves to portray that that character's boobs are super duper jiggly. There's nothing added to the plot and no statement made. Just as violence is used in Berserk between characters because it is how these violent characters communicate, nudity serves as a plot or symbolic device. Most often I've noticed it used as a visual metaphor for vulnerability. I never surmised that it was supposed to be any more arousing than an anatomy textbook, and if it is to somebody, they probably have some strange fetishes. "Ooooh look at all those naked, emaciated corpses, *FAP FAP FAP*" Does that make sense?

honestly it coulda been I totally forget. I honestly just like to argue with people who complain about fanservice

I stopped reading it mostly because I felt like it was going nowhere

It's going somewhere... just... verrrrry.... slowly. Honestly, you may have done yourself a favor considering it saved you from waiting around on a series that thinks it's pushing itself to release six chapters in a year. That said you can probably catch back up with it in an afternoon or two if it ever strikes you to.
