[Anime Review] Pani Poni Dash!


Pani Poni Dash!

"Pani Poni Dash! What the......?"-bezoe

The 11 year old Miyamoto Rebecca becomes the new teacher of a classroom which is full of weirdos. Despite her cute looks she's a little beast and can be pretty sarcastic and offensive. The school is not safe anymore now that she's in charge of a class and her students, Himeko, Ichijou, Rei and a white rabbit who took a liking to Rebecca help her to rough up the school and the neighbour-class with its teacher "ojii-chan

It is really hard to say what is the main point of watching this anime. It probably the slowest anime that I've watched - beside Strawberry Panic. I can only manage to watch 2-3 ep per day the most and did not find it entertaining and only a few of the episodes that I found entertaining. Probably the main reason I didn't enjoy this because of the comedical reference that they use, either I felt it not funny, or I just dunno why I should laugh. At first I though this anime will be the same category as Azumanga, or Lucky Star, but I guess I was wrong.

Character designs probably is the positive side of this anime. I love a lot of character from this anime. Well, Becky of course is the best from all, but probably there will be more than 5 favorite characters from this anime.

Animation is not the best around, but I guess I need to give kudos for the drawing style, since they use alot of reference, there's like a tons of different expression, from old manga, old anime, movie referense, etc

Music is pretty good, I really like the intermission music, and some of the OP ost that I probably will post it to be MotW for the upcoming week

Bottom line: Eventhough its a cute anime, but I really hard to find it entertaining, so bottom line is ok to miss this anime.

Overall Rating: C
