Title: Pani Poni Dash
Post by: Bllue on September 30, 2007, 11:27:32 PM
I had to watch this anime on demand, and i'm still not done with it because of that. It's hilarious, got me saying omega, and i love children. Has any one else seen it or should i put up a short autopsy of it? (sorry, bad time management.)

Saw the first episode and part of the second, but that was about two years ago now. Hilarious OVA, though.

I'm sorry, i feel dumb. I've asked this before but i can never remember what OVA stands for.

Anime Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5556) is the best place to look it up, butWikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pani_Poni_Dash!) is also pretty good.

Original Video Animation (or OVA, for short).

It just means that the anime was released directly to video, rather than aired on television or shown in a movie theater. OVAs typically have a higher budget per episode than the average TV anime.

Translated, that means it's shinier than your usual sentai anime, but it still has the same six frame repeating action/transformation/whatever filler scenes in every episode.
War.

"Sentai" is best translated as "Task Force." I think you mean "Seinen."

I'll admit, however, that I always thought "Sentai" was the term for any live action superhero show.

Not necessarily, but if you were to compare the animation quality of an average OVA with the quality of a television series, more often than not, the OVA will come out on top.
