Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do… …when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. Alice started to her feet, and burning … Continue reading →

Mawaru Penguindrum's ninth episode seemed to be nothing more than a disappointing distraction stalling for time at Himari's expense - yet the ending's powerful presentation makes up for it.

Shaft Headtilt! Was this episode directed by Shinbo or something? Its like I was watching a Shaft series except there’s no “quality” in between frames to tone it down. It was like visual porn. This is the best episode by … Continue reading →

Impressions over the 9th episode of the anime series Mawaru Penguindrum featuring wallpapers from our two heroines Himari Takakura and Ringo Oginome!

I loved this episode! It’s the kind of episode that goes for something completely different, and I really love these gimmicky episodes like this. It’s been a huge while since one appeared, especially in series that have a continuous plot. Those complaining that Himari was a mary sue? Hah, this episode is there to [...]

Despite leaving us with that cruellest of cliffhangers (or cruellest strokes of fate, if you prefer) last episode, this week's Mawaru Penguindrum seems in little rush to further pursue the well-being of Sho as its attention shifts to other matters. Indeed, this entire instalment is an introspective opportunity to shift through the life and key emotional points of Himari as we enter a rather

I watched it up to the improbable kicked-mirror-crashing-down-on-Mom disaster.  This after barely surviving the librarian’s character design + gestures + voice = inevitable catastrophe. Draggle had this to say of the episode: “The extent to which this show manages to tie everything together is amazing.” I totally agree with that assessment.  I actually warned Ikuhara [...]

I’ve been biting my nails wondering what happens this week (Shoma got hit by a car last week). The episode starts with some sort of weird flashback to the twins and Himari looking at penguins (I didn’t quite understand this). … Continue reading →

Whoa, that Sanetoshi fella sure is FABULOUS. And this was quite the mindfuck of an episode. Suddenly Himari backstory and new characters revealed (well, properly introduced technically). Not quite sure to make of all this, but at least the show is back on a much more decent direction. Ringo is seriously creeping people out. ©2011 [...]

Welcome to the most brilliant and disturbing episode of Mawaru PenguinDrum yet! While surreal, and denying easy resolution to a specific meaning, episode 9 has added weight to theories that tie the story to the 1995 Aum Shinrikyo sarin attacks. We also learn the shocking identities of the two other women shown with Himari in [...]

「氷の世界」 (Koori no Sekai) "World of Ice" I had the feeling that the pink-haired "beauty" in the opening sequence may not be a woman, largely in part to how the white trench coat masked his figure, but I would've been perfectly happy if I were wrong in this case.

They’re just trolling us with Shouma’s car accident now. But seriously, this episode was great. They’ve opened things up into an entirely new dimension. End of the World Fate If the Utena vibes weren’t obvious enough before, they’re screaming in … Continue reading →

This series continues to intrigue me on many levels, as this episodes continues to develop Ringo, while also dealing with what project M means to her. Even though the viewer finds out what Project M means to Ringo, I will admit that the plot of the series is a bit wearing on me, as their [...]

Last time on Mawaru Penguindrum, the target of Ringo’s stalkerly affections had gotten engaged to that opera bitch.  What does she have that Ringo does not, anyway, other than beauty, sanity, and a similar age to him.  Money I guess, although Ringo’s parents seemed pretty well off, she’ll inherit that eventually maybe. The point is [...]

Liking someone is one thing, but having to have his baby for the sake of a broken family is way beyond the norm. I somewhat sympathize with the audience that the Ringo arc is starting to bog down and going nowhere. But we are not the only one who thinks that, Shouma needs to put things to haste or things will just turn ugly. [...]

Partying a little too hard at Tabuki’s WOOOH! I’ve been super excited to tag with Jrow for Penguindrum and now I finally can! This will obviously be quite the epic episode seeing as Ringo is determined to, er, progress things with poor Tabuki-sensei, who I’m beginning to realize is a bit of an oblivious dolt. But enough [...]
