Brown Convention Center on October 19-21, 2007. The celebration will be held at the George R. This year in Houston, TX, Oni-Con will be hosting its Fourth Annual Anime Convention and invites your participation. Some segments do feel like its trying too hard to be funny to kids, and the show often references material kids won't even know, but it's still a very enjoyable show throughout, even if it isn't as strong of Ohta's previous works.News for Oni-Con 2007: Oni-Con announces details for 2007 convention And the EDs are just amazing, quite possibly some of my favorites this whole season.Īll in all, the show is pretty funny for the most part and does not become too repetitive with its jokes. Seems to be a recurring theme this season, shows by different studios resembling shows from other studios. Very bright vivid colors (but not too bright) and relatively simple, but appropriate and pleasant to look at. Plus its 12 minute run time ensures nothing gets dragged on for too long.Įven animation-wise this show is more reminiscent of Doga Kobo's comedies than Wit Studio. This does have the side effect of erasing some of the humor, but good direction and writing still sees the show having some good laughs here and there. What you get is a very sanitized Ohta show. Secondly, since this is a kids show, a lot of the raunchy humor or more crude stuff has been totally sand down. Yellow's is still off after all is said and done though.
But, I have to admit, after several episodes of being with them, you get used to them and actually start to like them well enough. This is especially jarring since they are surrounded by a plethora of professional seiyuu, making their amateur performances all the more glaring and noticeable. As it usually goes for characters not voiced by regular seiyuu, everyone sounds off. So how does this fareįirst off, the MCs don't sound particularly well.

But the team is most well known for their work on Doga Kobo's comedies such as Yuru Yuri and Uzamaid. They make some of the best comedies out there from Mitsudomoe to the legendary Sabagebu. I've always been a fan of director Ohta and his crew. It's not a masterpiece, but it's good enough to binge in an afternoon and relax on the couch watching. This show does a really good job of what it set out to do and the shorter episodes help keep the simple plots from going on too long.Īll in all, it gets an 8. My honest opinion is just let your brain relax and enjoy the goofy antics and 4th wall breaks. The comedy will be a hit or miss depending on whether you can enjoy the subtlety of the humor and the fact that the show doesn't take itself seriously. This show also does a lot of references to other media which include: Dragon Quest, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Food Wars, The Phantom Menace(?), Sailor Moon, and other things I may have missed. You need to understand the basics of what oni are in Japanese folklore, like the story of Momotaro.
the show clock in at only a little over 2 hours.Īnother thing to make mention of, this show is a very Japan-styled comedic show. With 5 mini-episode in each full episode, that make Each episode aired at different time over a week and were compiled into a full 12-13 minute episode later. If 60 episodes seems too daunting to pick up, allow me to explain that each "episode" is very short. The main gimmick of the show is that when they need help, their sidekick, Kuma, will give them the Oni tiger-striped pantsu (hence the name OniPan!) and they will transform magical girl style into the outfit needed.
Onipan! is a show about 3 oni girls joining the human world to improve the general opinion of how onis are viewed.
