Pani Poni Dash is a fully functional comedy anime that will make you laugh at times, but it is far from perfect. The characters all have fun personalities (there\'s even one that has no \"individual\" personality) that bounce off of each other very well, and the child-teacher is a fun, if clichéd, bonus. One of my favorite parts is the incompetent cast of aliens that is watching over the entire school stage in a bid for research, and basically makes a mockery of military protocol. They also have a depressed, almost Emo, rabbit that makes a scene even funnier when juxtaposed with all of the other characters. There are a few problems, of course. Some of the running gags get old very fast. This is especially true of Miyako\'s large forehead visualization. Okay! She has a large forehead. I got that the first three-hundred times. You don\'t have to keep reminding me, thanks. If you can get past those, then you will probably enjoy Paniponi Dash\'s slapstick comedy.
The animation is pretty good too. It\'s a fair mixture of basic anime and \"chibi\" anime. The colors are a little too bright for my tastes, but are just right for an anime in of this type in this happy-go-lucky school setting. Sometimes, though, the animators try to slide in bits of fan service. While I am all for fan-service, it just seems very out of place. You\'re watching this anime to laugh at stupid situations, not to get turned on (at least, you shouldn\'t be). Also, I\'m not a loli fan.
As for the sound... meh, I have no complaints. I watched it in the original Japanese, and all of the characters had voices that matched their personalities. Rebecca-sensei\'s voice is irritating at times, but it is just a necessary evil. The music is also a resounding \"meh.\" It was functional. It wasn\'t a resounding musical score, consisting of several brass and string ensembles, conducted by a world-class musical genius, but it got the job done.
All in all, Pani Poni Dash is a fun anime that I recommend to some but not all. If you are a fan of comedies, go ahead and check out Pani Poni Dash. You will laugh and enjoy it.
