GET READY FOR AN EXCEL-LENT HIGH SCHOOL COMEDY WITH PANI PONI DASH!

LET US INTRODUCE YOU TO YOUR FAVOURITE NEW TEACHER ON 2TH JULY 2007

LONDON, UK, 10th JUNE 2007

ADV Films, the number one producer- distributor of anime outside of Japan, is pleased to bring to the UK the first volume of the hilarious Paniponi Dash on 2nd July 2007!  Fans of Excel Saga and Azumanga Daioh will



 

laugh out loud once more at this new show from Studios Gansis and Shaft (Negima!?) and Director Akiyuki Shinobi (Petite Cossette).

The Story:

Good news?  She’s an MIT grad.  Bad news?  She’s an 11-year-old MIT grad.  So while Becky Miyamoto may be intellectually able, this MIT prodigy is painfully ill-equipped to deal with a group of temperamental teens, especially THIS group.  There’s the bitchy heather, the spazz, the angry nerd, the identical twins, the invisible girl, the freaky class president, the drama geek, the Nancy Drew, the gamer, the princess…whew!  Add to that her pathetically-abused stuffed bunny buddy and idiotic aliens watching her every move and it’s no wonder Becky’s prone to crying fits, tirades, and flipping the class the bird.  Don’t miss the Grade-A comedy from the brains behind Negima!?, Paniponi Dash! is a lesson in comedy that’ll just kill you.

Paniponi Dash! vol.1: Lethal Lessons (RRP £19.99) is an anamorphic DVD-only release including the first five episodes, presented in both English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles.  Extras include AD Vidnotes ™, two Japanese television spots, a special opening “Yellow Vacation,” information for “The Chalkboard Champion Contest,” a reversible cover, a booklet insert, plus clean closing animation and previews of upcoming ADV Films releases.
