So… that was it? Derp. In the end, nothing else mattered. I guess in a way, that was a pretty good end, but otherwise, I don’t feel satisfied :/ ©2011 Kurogane's Anime Blog. All Rights Reserved..

「愛してる」 (Aishiteru) "I Love You" If you've come here looking for answers to Mawaru Penguindrum's ending, I'm afraid I don't have them. The best I can offer is my interpretation of it, which is a bunch of fragmented ideas that revolve around the theme of neglected children and fighting fate.

After a long train ride, we finally reach the destination. It was a wild ride of an ending as everything finally comes together. The whole story revolving around the fate of the family and their purpose. I was on target for some of my predictions but ultimately missed the main point that pulled everything together, the apple. A very touching ending that has partially ruined Christmas! So sad

Few anime are as weird or wonderful as Mawaru Penguindrum, just think of the number of series you’ve seen with rockets, teddy bears, a pink stairway, penguins, and a girl in a cool costume all packed into a minute and a half with moe-fied rock music playing in the background. If that video didn’t give you [...] Related posts: Revolutionary Girl Utena Review Ani-bloggers Choice Anime Awards 2011 Mayoi Neko Overrun! Mid-series Review

Wow Ringo, maybe if you hug it tighter the burning will stop! Yes, just forget about the penguin exhibit full of water right over there! Aah just kidding, it must be tough surviving a mini explosion. Her clothes must be fireproof. Masako’s must have been bulletproof or her bandages are insanely thick, seeing as she [...]

Think Outside The Box I must start by sharing this particular image, showcasing the reactions to Penguindrum each week. Really funny. Anyways, this train ride is almost at the end. What is Penguindrum’s penultimate episode going to set up for us? (Oh, for the people who commented last week, sorry for not replying as per usual.) [...]

Okay. It’s time for answers. Finally the plot is coming together! This episode really had me at the edge of my seat.

Clearly the Japanese education system’s teachings on fire safety are lacking. The World is a Corpse I already mentioned this two weeks ago, when the Takakura parents declared that the world was corrupt. But where they want to fix it, … Continue reading →

As we reach the penultimate episode of Mawaru Penguindrum, we begin with a flashback.  Wait, that isn't really news is it, it would be more comment worthy if we didn't begin with a flashback, right? Anyhow, after exploring the showdown between Momoka and Sanetoshi on that fateful day in 1995 which seemingly put paid to both of their lives, it's back to the present day to find that Himari isn't
