History Anime / PaniPoniDash

* ShesGotLegs:
** Kurumi is a sure winner, especially a scene in the OVA....

%%* {{Bishounen}}: Shu Momose and [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Tsurugi Inugami]].
%%** [[Manga/CandyCandy Ansony]] / [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Anthony]].

* CuteClumsyGirl: Akira Miyata.
** In fact called by both Behoimi and Nanjo.

* FluffyTamer: Misao Nanjo. See FriendToAllLivingThings.

It's a Creator/StudioShaft, reference-a-minute, madcap comedy series best described as early ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''Manga/ExcelSaga''. It was based on the manga ''Pani Poni'' by Hekiru Hikawa, which was serialized in Creator/SquareEnix's Monthly [=GFantasy=] magazine from 2000-2011. The anime was originally licensed by the fine folks at Creator/ADVFilms, and is now licensed by Creator/{{FUNimation}}.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Tsurugi Inugami. He's got a cool name, but is he a badass? Not really.

%%%%%%%%%%%% Before adding a trope, check its page to see if it should go in the Main or Trivia tabs instead.

--> '''Mr. Saotome''': You were out drinking again last night, weren't you?
--> '''Miss Igarashi''': No, actually, it was this morning.

-->'''Rebecca''': Well, before I send you all home for the day, I should probably get around to taking attendance, so is there a Miyako Uehara here today? Sayaka Suzuki. Himeko Katagiri. Rei Tachibana. Kurumi Momose. [[AndTheRest And everybody else]].
-->'''Rei''': That's efficient.

--> '''Behoimi''': So the long-awaited teacher has finally arrived? Come on lets go check her out, guys!
--> The class begins to march out single file.
--> '''Old Geezer''': You step one foot out that door and I'll be standing by your pillow every night!
--> The class stops and begins to march single file backwards.
--> '''Old Geezer''': What a damn buncha cowards.

--> '''Miyako''': Don't call me a worm, you bitch.

* SeriousBusiness: There have been several all-out wars within the Film Club about what film medium to use. Not to mention the intense rivalry spanning generations between the Film club and the Drama Club.

-->'''Alien Captain''': "...Hmm? ...I wasn't sleepin'! I've been awake this whole time! I was... just restin' my eyes, man!"
-->'''Alien Subordinate''': "[[LampshadeHanging Let me give you some time to think up a better excuse.]]"

-->'''Alien Captain''': "Well, that's just a rabbit."

* HairColors

* MulticoloredHair: Rebecca's hair is part blonde, part pink. It's presumably due to her being half-American and half-Japanese, but it's also just part of the character and art style since the other characters have different shades of hair shown at all times as well.

* {{Flanderization}}: The characters were quite goofy in the original manga, but the anime exaggerates their quirks UpToEleven. Certain characters, such as [[CuteClumsyGirl Akira]], become entirely one-note gag characters. Fortunatley, the comedy is still strong and very well-executed.

* GreatDetective: Himeko dresses up and ''acts'' like SherlockHolmes in the OVA.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Kurumi, Yuma.

* TheAce: Ichijou is well and able to subdue ninjas, bungee jump with her hair, infiltrate spaceships, attack people with strings, summon the rain, create HammerSpace boxes and turn them into a plot device, and even plays a mean shamisen where she manages to break the strings without even strumming it.

* PhysicalGod: Lord Cat-Sama. He is God, after all. He just likes to live in a vending machine. Is that so wrong?
** He also likes eat living cans with his VERY long prehensile tongue. Also, the cans '''scream for their life!'''

%% Badass has become a fanspeak term; no longer a trope. You can still use the word, of course, but don't pothole it anymore.

* CustomUniform: Girls have the option of wearing neckties or bows of varying sizes. Some girls also wear cardigans of different colors. Legwear is evidently not regulated, as girls have different socks or stockings [[ZettaiRyouki at different lengths]] and [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience colors]].

** In fact called a Dojikko(fanspeak term and former trope name) by both Behoimi and Nanjo.

* MasterOfDisguise: Akane Serizawa has impersonated others with such accuracy that would make [[{{Spider-Man}} The Chameleon]] proud. Though, her Cat-ears hair tends to stick out.

* ShesGotLegs: Every girl, but Kurumi is a sure winner, especially a scene in the OVA....
** And to add more FetishFuel, she has ZettaiRyouiki.

** Kami-sama likes to add "nya" to the end of his sentences, the same for the giant salamander and "kero".

* BigBad: While Ichijou isn't out and out evil (at least, we don't ''think'' she is), she is very often at the root of everyone's problems, without anyone even knowing it, in fact, and seems to do so intentionally.
