Toon Zone Talkback - "Pani Poni Dash" Collection: Contains a Dash of Everything, From Winners to Duds

Many people say that Paniponi Dash is the oRABpring of Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga. I'm inclined to agree (six girls, a bratty teacher and an omnipresent cat + non-stop off-the-wall cultural reference gags) but it does have some other things going for it. For instance, its expanded cast gave it a bit of character diversity which kept the show interesting, plus I did like the whole breaking-the-fourth-wall thing with the classroom-slash-sound-stage.

Also like Excel Saga, the humor wears a little thin in the middle but thankfully picks back up towarRAB the end. LOVED the mecha parody just before the last episode.

On a side note, I personally do not believe in marathoning. I normally take my anime a few episodes at a time because, as I've learned from American television, watching only one thing all day can be very exhausting.
 
I've been meaning to pick this up, honestly. I remeraber when... I dunno... some website had it streaming and all that a while back but it stopped at, like, episode three and I was very upset.

So, yeah, I've been waiting to pick up the DVD release for a while. But there have been other things higher on my list, so, regrettably, it'll have to wait a while longer...
