>But in the current year, it feels more like pandering to Western sensibilities
This is the biggest issue with the new show. Yes yes, I know that the original series had a lot of American references too, but it was still a Japanese show being made for Japanese audiences and it really felt like it. The new show is very clearly being made for Americans who watched dubbed anime on streaming services, and it loses that special, unique spark that the original had.
S1's references were just little one-second one-off things, like, say, the Lady Gaga reference in the D City Rock music video. Not EVERY episode needed to have a full-scale parody of an American movie or whatever, nor did it need to reference ancient memes like fucking Ugandan Knuckles.
The original show was still very focused on the anime adventures of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt This new show is focused on making references and silly faces that American queermos can post about on Twitter. There's a difference.
