Idiom Explanation

It’s hard for the person who’s sick, but for the caregiver, who has watched the suffering of the illness for a long time, it’s a lot harder.

**7’s number

This scene was also in the TV version, but it looks now even more truthful to the original version. Doesn’t Watanuki look so cool too?

The Shouting Mu**-bird

The familiar Ya**ji Tanioka's Bird made it to the movie. Does it look pretty strong somehow?

Who’s the Rat?

At the background during the P.E. class, some burly men are pointing guns at each other. There was a scene like this in one of Director Taran*ino's early films about violence.

Coordinator's Eye with Kyouko Kametani

It’s easier to understand it when the white coat is taken off, as the points are in the ribbons and the dress. The white ribbon and blue dress are very refreshing.

Coordinator's Eye with Kyouko Kametani

”It’s a design that combines Becky’s ‘cute’ and ‘slightly cool’ sides”. The way she hides her face with a cap is cool.

Women’s Jersey

Since it’s a standard plain jersey, every model using it became like Kurumi (half true).

Girls’ Gym Clothes

Girls at Momotsuki Academy wear bloomers during P.E. They’re probably pretty rare in schools nowadays.

Fairy of Cowlick

Makes an appearance during the experiment for Himeko’s new cowlick. Being a mysterious creature(?), it’s similar to the strange type of what Ichijou is. If you think too much into it, it’ll be your loss.

Ooshima-san

She’s the girl who appears on the screen a lot during P.E classes. She will frequently appear on the show from now on. If you’re familiar with the staff of this anime, you’ll realize the origin of the name.

Look Back to Episode 3

In relation to Pani Poni Education interview

Hikawa The episode where Watanuki gets skeletionised (laughs).

Kanemaki There’s an explanation that Ichijou killed Watanuki by inserting poison into the drink she gave to her.

Hikawa That’s what I thought too (laughs). It’s certainly a shady Viper Poison Drink (laughs).

Shinbo It’s actually a reference to Aka Ma**shi, but we couldn’t refer to it on screen since it’s a trademarked product.

Takayama And at the end, Old Geezer dissolved.

Hikawa The episode started to get a little weird around that point (laughs). As in, let's make the punchline more dramatic (laughs).

Rebecca Miyamoto. The Mathematics Teacher of Private Momotsuki Academy. Graduated from MIT at the age of 10. Why would such a child prodigy come to this school? First of all, can you get a teaching license in Japan at age 11? In order to find out, I, Hibiki Watanuki of the Student Council Intelligence Club, have infiltrated Class C. Ooh, Miyamoto-sensei has just arrived! She’s wearing an unusual hat… Oh! There’s an amazing cowlick on top of Miyamoto-sensei’s head! I’ll now retreat… trying at least… but I can’t get out from the narrow back of the chalkboard...

Tetsuya Nishimura

26 yo – Photography Director

To be honest, my lifestyle has changed since I started working on this series. It has become rare for me to go home (laughs). I'd like you to pay attention to the bonus part at the end of the third episode. Even though the time was short and I thought “Is this impossible?”, I was so much in high spirits that I worked with the episode until the early hours of next morning (laughs). There are many things to note about this episode, but be sure to check out the blackboard scene in particular. It's full of stuff that those who know will understand. Not only the blackboard, but the anime overall is filled with the thoughts from the Staff members, and being able to feel them while watching is the best. Well, Pani Poni is already the best (laughs).

Parara rapappappa!

Gain 1 Maho

This fanfare-like onomatopoeia connects to the sound of levelling up, and it gives a good feeling. It would be even better if you could acquire something at the same time, but is a Maho useful for anything?

~KARATEKA~

A game that lives on in the hearts of Fami-kids who are now in their 30s. The starting point is the edge of a cliff, so even one step back means instant death. If you forget to bow before a battle, you die. What a bittersweet memory from the Fami**m era.

You... What color is your blood?!

A famous line from the partner of the Savior at the End of Century and a master of Nanto Sui***ken. If you see people who are so cruel that you can't believe they have red blood running through their veins, say this to them and slice them into pieces.

Endonium Super Bomb

In the tokusatsu show about a warrior of love who trained himself in the depth of India’s mountains, an evil organization was going to explode Tokyo Bay with this bomb. The name of the show’s villain group, **e **e Gang is pretty impressive, but their cycling theme song is even more intense (Can be sung at karaoke).

Cat-Eared Bullet Train (drawing)

Because of its cat-eared design, the bullet train Fastech has become a hot topic (among some group). These cat ears are a device that increases air resistance, acting as brakes.

Ro**’s Sword = Cypress Stick

The weapon that the hero Ro** wielded to defeat the Great Demon King was passed down to future generations as the "Ro**’s Sword." Meaning, “Cypress Stick” could also be a legendary weapon, but more importantly, it’s strange how the legendary helmet Iron **sk has a delicate texture.

Ripple Run

Also known as ”Overdrive”. In the J*j* lineage, the first generation, who was born into a prestigious English family in the 19th century, and the second generation, who hated effort and hard work, didn’t fight with Sta*nds.

A variety show hosted by a certain celebrity, who's also a film director under his real name. Since the broadcast period was short, it seems like it won’t be released on DVD. The program had all three members of the Tano**n Trio performing.

Woah, nice cowlick

Because of bed hair, Becky has a cowlick similar to Himeko’s, which even the chalkboard notes with an exclamation of admiration. “Whoa, nice **” is a phrase that can be applied to other things as well, but if you use it too much for male friends, they might run away from you.

Is Convoy strong or what?

Yes, that's right (looking away). Convoy is the main character of a certain American robot anime. By the way, in the beginning, the enemy boss transforms into a shooting machine. Even the boss becomes a tool.

1, 2, Go! Double it!

In a quiz show ***sen Ōhashi hosted, where participants would bet their points to responders, he would say this phrase during the final question (when all earned points could be doubled). Betting it all on that person, who could give you a chance for comeback, was a basic approach.

Daibukkon

The Great Buddha statue that appeared in the early days of Takeshi the Genius' TV show, which has also been released on DVD, is a heartwarming sight to see. With a smooth movement, as if it had wheels, it traveled around the country on a pilgrimage (also known as a sales pitch).

Time to Dash

When the word "Dash" is mentioned, the Fa**com generation will remember "B Dash." The chalkboards of this anime are filled with other nostalgic words, so there's bound to be letters related to Super **rio.

Two Farmers Spark Revolution

In the Fa**com game about “peasant uprising” had the option of two people (as in 2 players) start an uprising, which would’ve been a surprising setting. Recently, there has been also a mobile version that added moe elements.

Rettsu toonamento bigin, by Han

This is a line from Han, the villain of the movie called Dragon Burning or Not-Burning, starring B**ce Lee. The correct phrase is “Let the tournament begin!” But is the next fight really on a tournament?
