Pani Poni Dash! review - 90/100


Pani Poni Dash! Is one of the better comedies, it shines in it’s characters. Every episode made me so laugh, and it was just great. Pani Poni Dash uses much of parodies, that makes the situation even greater. And of course, every story in this anime, it just doesn’t make any sence. The main plot is the coming. Miyamoto Rebecca, or Becky, is a progidy, that had completed her study on M.I.T on the age of 10 years old. She went to Japan to teach in a high school, 1-C. The creators made an excellent job in her character, she is a spoiled brat that has the wonderful line to tell her students to not pick on her:
I’m the teacher you know! And a genius!
The only problem is, this line doesn’t work in front of her class.


The girls in her class are the following: The Forehead (Miyako), the Plain Girl (Kurumi), the Nice Girl (Rokugo), the Sarcastic girl (Rei), ‘Unable to Undestimate’ (Ichijo) and the Omega Maho Idiot(Himeko). Everyone of them has a different character and in combination they are all great. They want to have lessons of their new teacher, but they can’t help to fool around some times, and of course when Becky lacks of. Becky is one lazy girl, that’s for sure.^^ But even so, these girls aren’t always in the picture. When that’s not the case we see the teachers of the other class (Jiji, an alcoholist and a sportman), or we see the animals (The cat in the vending machine, the kero and of course: Mesousa), or in the other case, the persons of the other classes. There is a huge amount of side characters, and everyone of the sidecharacters has their own story and their own character. In combination, this means it’s a great laugh. And let’s not forget the aliens that are observing Becky. I don’t know why, but they are so funny, and of course, this whole situation, it doesn’t make any sence.

The episodes are all randomn, and all the episodes don’t make any sence. You can say that in every episode, the situation gets a ‘bit’ out of control. And that 26 episodes long. It is too funny, especially the little incident with the bus. That was just great. In this anime, something always happens. And it’s always weird.^^

The soundtrack is something special once again, and the OP’s are just great. Furthermore I recommend this anime for everyone that loves Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga. This is just a combination of the two of them. The characters of Azumanga Daioh and the weirdness of Excel Saga, and here you are with Pani Poni Dash!

Pani Poni Dash 26 - The Pool, the Kero, the End

Filed under: Pani Poni Dash


To be a honest, I was slightly dissapointed with this episode. I would have expect some really weird ending, but no. This was fun too, because of the heat in the school, the principal made a giantic pool and let everybody swim.

The following situations are of course Ichijou and her little sister, Himeko being weird, Kami-sama had a really nice ending when he talked to Kero^^, Yuuma and Yuuna were weird once again, and the situation goes on and on. The aliens go home too, after observing Becky. That girl has too much genius in her.^^

Nice ending, a bit plain maybe, if Pani Poni Dash can be plain. This was certainly not the brilliance that made Pani Poni Dash shine, but well. After 26 episodes, I feel I can’t complain about it. It was fun. But not the best.

Pani Poni Dash 25

Filed under: Pani Poni Dash


We continue this episode after the major anti-climax of episode 23. And of course, it’s as good as ever. I must admit that the previous episode really made me laugh, this was enjoyable with a nice climax.

The class is going to save the world of the big comet that will destroy the earth, and guess what? It’s the Ichijou Feast. Of course. How could it be any different? Ichijou talks to the thing, and of course, we know what will happen then, the same as with the bull that wanted to conquer the school. Ichijou makes the situation only worse. With some awesome weapons, they are at least defeated and sucked in the Ichijou Feast.

The climax is something that I almost slapped myself again on the forehead, because it was after all: Kami-sama desu nyaaaa. The cat, with his twin brother. Becky solved the case, and we are going to the final epsiode.

What I really loved was the prelude of this episode. The perfect dramatic commercial and I couldn’t stop laughing. That is the nice thing of Pani Poni Dash because they can make of the corniest scene ever a great laugh. I like that.
