Ikuhara just can’t escape the stage. All of his shows are heightened and ornamented, full of elaborate framing and moments where you’re not sure if what you’re seeing is real, imagined, or somewhere [...]

Originally posted 26 Aug 2011 – Plans are being accelerated left and right. Yuri the Orca aims to marry Tabuki, who is firmly under the spell she’s cast upon him through really tacky singing (so to speak). So Ringo takes more and more drastic measures (dragging a hapless Shoma along for the ride) to ensure [...]

Episode 7 of Mawaru Penguin Drum is full of Ringo’s delusions. She is, after all a girl who has grabbed fate by the horns and is actively wrestling it to the ground. Unfortunately for Shouma, he seems to have gotten in the path as Ringo’s crazy train comes barreling through. Ringo heads out on a [...]

Last time on Mawaru Penguindrum we got a deeper look into the psyche of Ringo, and she was kind of ruined.  I guess next we should get a closer look at and ruin the older brother?  He’s obviously keeping lots of secrets, he has a secret source of money and some chick with a magic [...]

Hey Ringo, does that diary mention anything about frog excrements? Cause if so… Mukatsuku~! There should be 48hours in a day, damn it! I’ve been so tied up lately and without much sleep too. Anyways, with a working Saturday, I actually saw this in office and it was still hilarious and awkward as hell. I’m so [...]

It was.... a really freaky episode. [ RANDOM THOUGHTS ]Ringo on that cliffhanger episode end was so.... scary!!!! The Takakura brothers don't need to do anything for her Tabuki invasion anymore. Ringo is freakier in this episode than before. Psycho stalkers are already creepy, but occultish psycho stalkers is on a different level. Haha. Ringo's wild imaginations about Yuri's true colors, ahaha. Well, they might be true... or Yuri might be someone more evil than Ringo has imagined, haha! I find Ringo's theatrical plays more entertaining than the actual thing. As for the song on the actual play, to be honest I find it as lame as Ringo's version. Not sure if it was intentional. Tabuki x Yuri's finally canon~ I find it pretty romantic when famous people choose to retire to be someone "ordinary". Fabulous max~ Natsume might be evil enough to harm innocent girls and be so determined to crush Kanba... but she might not be that evil. Well... I just can't imagine someone evil to apologize, ahaha. [ FOCUSING ON MAH FAVORITES ]Kanba's getting cash from a dude who gives out penguin envelopes... and this episode shows that though he may be connected to them, he has nothing to do with what happened to his fangirls. But I guess it's now safe to confirm that that person might be connected to Natsume. But this "Kanba crushing" and "Project M" don't seem to make sense. I mean, you can relate "Project M" to Ringo's connection to Momoka.... but what's Kanba got to do with it?! Hopefully this series will already explain how the hell Kanba got associated with that fellow in the first place... and why he's being paid?! As for Shouma, poor boy... doing anything in his power, no matter how much he dislikes it, in order to please Ringo. Ringo's lucky that dear Shouma's too nice ^^; And for some reason the Princess of the Crystal is intentionally assigning only Shouma on Ringo. I suppose only Shouma will be able to handle Ringo's delusions. Kanba may use dirty means, but I don't think he'll be the type to do cruel things to women (aside from stalking and invading her home while she's not around). When they're almost out of options on how to please Ringo because of Tabuki's engagement, Kanba suggests to make Tabuki the one to make a move. Oh Kanba and his crazy and perverted ideas... it seems easier to make Ringo to do such plans... or perhaps he finds it difficult to manipulate her in that way... or maybe things are scarier that way, hahaha. [ FANSERVICE FOR ME ]They're finally together ;_;*sniff* *sniff*Not enough scenes between the two tough =_=
