The episode pages below go through the details about each Pani Poni Dash! episode. The pages try to represent the guidebook pages loyally, including additional information presented in paperbacks. ADV's translations have been used in translating chalkboard scribbles/telops and other lines from the show, as they're closer to the original Japanese meanings. In some cases, when ADV hasn't translated something, I've used gg/Oyasumi's fansub translations.
