What's a Super Duper Mini Review? Well, since I'm taking a break from written reviews, I decided to put a short list of what I liked and didn't like about the shows I review and put down some notes and fun facts as well. For a little info about the show, I copy the Plot Summary from the Anime News Network pages and throw them in the review so the reader can be a little bit informed on what the bases of the show is about. I also borrow some info from Wikipedia as well.
Super Duper Mini Review
Pani Poni Dash! is a comedy, parody show.
Plot Summary
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 "ojiichan."
--- Anime News Network
Pros:
- A wacky cast of enjoyable characters that makes this show fun. From Rebecca to Ichijou, they are all unique.
- Very goofy and insane show. Reminds me of Hayate the Combat Butler , Lucky Star, and My Bride is a Mermaid, and a little bit of Azumanga Daioh.
- Super cute and colorful art style.
- Tons, and tons or references to movies like Planet of the Apes, The Exorcist, to other things like Super Mario Bros. and Dragon Ball.
- Really cool openings and endings.
- Like other Shaft shows, the art style can be very stylish and unique.
Cons:
- While the show does have a lot of references that are awesome, it's less enjoyable when you don't know them. There were many that I didn't get and I was like "Ok?" and "I don't get it." The fansubs I watched helped explain them, but it still would have been more enjoyable if I didn't have to read the little blurb for every reference they make.
- Like a lot of comedy shows, there is no ongoing plot. Most of the show is episodic.
While I didn't get many of the reference in the show, which is many, I still had a blast with Pani Poni Dash.
If you enjoyed shows like Lucky Star, Hayate the Combat Butler, My Bride is a Mermaid, or Azumanga Daioh, you will definitely get a kick out of this show. Be prepared for all the references in the show, there are maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany.
