Pani Poni Dash Vol 1
Pani Poni Dash Vol 1 Lethal Lesson By Andromeda If you fell in love with Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga, have I got another series for you. ADV brings us Paniponi Dash, a series of classroom hijinks and weirdness. This classroom has a wide variety of personalities. You’ll swear you went to school with some of them or may even identify with one! Of course, the teacher on the other hand... you’ve never had a teacher like her before. Rebecca Miyamoto is a graduate of MIT. Her father is an American and her mother is Japanese. After graduating, she decided to go to Japan to teach. It would seem like a great idea… but there is one little problem. Rebecca is 11-years-old and will be teaching a 10th grade class. She’s got the brains to do it, but mentally is she ready for this? One of the problems that arise is that most of the class thinks she’s so cute! How could you not with her big blue eyes and long blonde hair. Of course when you have someone in the class telling you how cute you are every time you turn around doesn’t help you maintain the authority. It also seems as if the class representative is out to get her for some reason. Be careful of any offerings of food from her. Another downfall of being so young, Rebecca finds herself at times intimidated by the class bitch. But it seems so easy for her to do it. Thankfully others in the class chastise her for causing poor Becky to cry. But this teacher isn’t full of goodness herself. Because she doesn’t take the time to learn the student’s names, she offends them by calling them by how they act, the Bookworm, the Nerd, the Invisible Girl, and so on. This hurts the feelings of one girl so much that she goes and sulks in the rabbit hutch on the roof. But the students and the teachers aren’t the only strange things about this series. For some reason aliens are watching them with Rebecca being their test subject. Why the aliens are there and studying her and the others? I have no clue. But in one episode Rebecca plucks the cowlick from the head of one of her students. After sticking it in her desk drawer the aliens decide to take it. When Rebecca decides to give it back, she has to create a new one. This is where her tormented and abused stuffed bunny comes in at. Not only is it having a problem with getting cold sodas… because god is keeping them warm with his body inside the vending machines… but now he has become the test subject for the created cowlicks to replace the missing one! Poor poor thing. I liked Azumanga Daioh, but I didn’t care for Excel Saga. Paniponi Dash falls right in between the two, so it’s a series that I find funny at times. But there are those moments that I sit there wondering why I was watching it. Of course I’m the type that needs more action or supernatural added. I know a lot of people who loved both those series and so I will be recommending this to one to them. One of the things I enjoyed was the pop culture references, like the cover. It makes tribute to the movie Terminator. That’s one among many that you’ll run across while watching this. When the first episode started I tripped out when I saw the reference to Planet of the Apes. At first I was like, “Dude, that so reminds me of that movie.”, and my friend was like, “Wait... watch… watch.”, and there it was, the statue of … well, not Liberty, but it was close enough to it and funny. DVD Features: 5 Complete Episodes, AD Vidnotes, 2 TV spots, Special Opening: Yellow Vacation, Chalkboard Champions Contest, Reversible Cover, and Clean Close.
