Remember those cartoon character-based undergarments that kids used to wear? How many of those brightly colored sets were sold in the hope that they might actually grant someone super powers? And what if they actually could? Three young Japanese Oni are about to answer that question when they're transformed into human girls and transferred into a normal high school as part of a plan to ease relations between humans and demons! How? Because when extra-large problems arise, they can don special tiger-striped underpants… Oni-Pants… that let them transform and use special Oni abilities to make brief work of the issue! Of course, with great underwear comes great responsibilities (and the danger of accidental Mooning while in senshi mode), but if someone has to wear the big girl undies, then the future's foundation will hopefully be fundamentally secure!

English Onipan! is an undemanding, likable, and playful kids’ show. I wasn’t originally planning on watching it. I didn't like the Saiki-style episodes and I didn’t find the premise of Oni girls and their magical underwear very appealing. But then I saw parts of the first segment online, where WIT studio shows off how well and dynamically they can animate movement. Like Saiki, the series also comes in a version with longer episodes which I found more bearable. I don't regret the time spent watching this series. As I said, it's a nice show for kids with some interesting themes, colorful animation albeit lacking in detail (which isn't so important, it's a kids’ show after all), simple humor, and likable characters. At the beginning, you can tell that the three main voice actresses got their first role here and it took them a while to get the hang of it, but things gradually get better. The stories were hit or miss for me. Some were enjoyable (Momo's performance, helping out in the shopping street, etc.), while others were an ordeal to watch (most of the idol-themed episodes). All in all, it was a relaxing, slightly above-average show. 5.7/10 ()
