A 26-episode anime television series adaptation aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between July 4 and December 26, 2005 with its title renamed as Pani Poni Dash!.

The characters attend a high school called the Peach Moon Academy (桃月学園, Momotsuki Gakuen) where Rebecca has taken up a job as one of the teachers after being the youngest graduate at MIT and is being watched by space aliens who screw up the story every now and then.

Though the story hardly strays from the focus of the four first-year classes labeled 1-A through 1-D, the mishaps that occur in them, the teacher's lounge, and on school trips also become sources of material for topical allusions regarding satire, anime, Internet, gaming, and popular culture.

Pani Poni was serialized in the manga magazine G Fantasy published by Square Enix between the November 2000 and October 2011[7] issues.

The series also contains numerous parodies and references to popular culture,[1] which include Planet of the Apes,[13] Star Trek,[14] The Exorcist, Gundam, Devilman, Super Mario Bros.,[1] Little Black Sambo, Usagi Yojimbo, Doctor Who and the Cthulhu Mythos.

The shows were hosted by Mai Kadowaki and Chiwa Saito who played Behoimi (1-D) and Rebecca "Becky" Miyamoto in the anime respectively.
