This was another excellent episode about
Shouma x Ringo

Even though it was the stupid CPR crap.

With all that nasty shadow here, I really though it was Tabuki that was going to do that. That is because I see him right here tending to Ringo. Guess I got totally punked but then again this show is good at that. Shouma is a freaking hero in the spoiler
he saved Ringo’s life because she never knew how to swim nor did I think she would not know. #2 Penguin deserves a slap here for being stupid. Oh come on! He gets a fish instead of saving Ringo? WTF? OK, ok. Comedy wise I get it but I find too ironic to enjoy it.

In this episode we are presented with the following beautiful girl named Sami Kuhou as follows,

She looks like a top model or escort slut girl with her 2 friends. However the problem stems at thee end in the spoiler
looks like someone did not like the girl and pushed off the mechanical stairway.
I am immediately suspecting Kanba and you can’t deny he was the last to see her in this episode. However there was someone that girl was talking to on the cell phone before her death. Watch CSI punks! You will get smart. I am going to assume someone hated her enough to do it. Clearly though Kanba is going to have some cops seeing him about this.

About the skunk, he needs his won section for being one of the best gag elements in anime so far. This skunk is freaking funny. His first attack in the spoiler
got so ROFL! It’s incredible really. Although I knew that Ringo’s suicide jumping into the water was not too convincing with her pose here, I never would have though that skunk would do his second gag in the spoiler
that one was funny at the moment it happened. Do feel bad for Ringo about that though.

  • You got love how #1 penguin is in the spoiler
    freaking hilarious with his mirror to see the panties of the girls. Just one question, how the heck the girl in the spoiler
    did not notice the penguin was there?
    At least she should have felt it like Ringo did when the penguin opened her legs.

  • I find Ringo was being too violent with Shouma in the spoiler
    jerking him off like that was not cool but it was funny. Ringo has a way too big imagination here. Especially since it also included a whole “Lala Land part” where her and Tabuki are like King/Queen.

  • From the looks of these girls and their reactions towards Yuri in the spoiler
    they have high expectations from her. I also think that Tabuki made a huge mistake here by being too close to Yuri even if to heal her with some cream. That is a fatal mistake IMO. Ringo certainly got so jealous.
Well this episode sure told out a whole whole lot about Ringo. I am pretty happy as the comedy was great, the depictions of it (including some art in the style of Utena) and most of all the visuals/directing. The character expressions were fine too.

BTW the skunk in this episode made me think of my saving the life of one by slowing down with my car in not killing. Well I heard it's bad for the car since it makes it smell bad anyway.

The end art in the spoiler
was fantastically shown.

Dayum, why is it that this anime wins by default over all other shows of the season! Another brilliant episode.

I loved Ringo's wacky fanasies, so hilarious. Sunshiny opera troupe must be modeled after Takarazuka Revue.
I nearly died (literary since I choked) at the 'If they have no bread, let them eat cake' reference.

Luckily, it was not all hilarity (though I enjoy such moments in this anime immensely), but we also get confirmation that Yuri is not all that sickeningly perfect as she wants to appear + some mystrery development at the end (as they'd say in novels - the plot thickens).
All in all another 5/5 from me.

On a side note, why did that skunk have the penguin logo on his back?!?

Judging by the clothes, I think the red headed lady from the OP shoved red heels girl down the escalator! Though for a second I thought it was Ringo trying to fulfill destiny again or something. That'd be too creepy though, wouldn't it. Hahahahaha.

Anyhoo, I hope we get some more Survival Strategy!!! next episode~ And more Kanba would be nice too.

This episode was made of win and was a testament to Ikuhara's knack for comedy. And it made me LOL how he took the penguins' pervert-ness to the next level - what's with them inside waitresses' skirts and looking up girls' skirts using mirrors XD I also noticed that the skunk has a penguin face mark on his stomach, is it connected to the Penguin Hat?

Like I suspected from her evil look in the OP, Yuri hides beneath her ladylike front a manipulative and cold personality; I couldn't help but feel sorry for Ringo when she confronted her with the curry and that Tabuki had thought she was the one that made it and praised her for it - ouch. Though, it could be divine retribution for Ringo for the way she treated Shouma throughout the episode. I also find it intersting that crows were used as a symbol for Tabuki in the OP and in this episode, a bunch of crows foiled Ringo's plan to have lunch with him.

So, Masako finally makes her appearance. She wants to crush Kanba and it wil be 'according to plan'. It seems she's the Penguin Hat's antagonist. I wonder whether Ringo is working with her, or if she's oblivious to her existense and the power that her diary holds. Does she know the girl in red shoes-a classmate perhaps?-and her death is necessary for her and Tabuki to end up together?

Pretty funny episode until the very last part of course.

Ringo is a crazy bitch. Who knew that the innocent looking girl in the opening could be so crazy? She's willing to drown herself to get the guy she wants. That's a bit extreme. Though I had to feel sorry for her when Yuri showed her ugly side to her and her only. Who else saw that coming?

I think now it's pretty obvious that Ringo's journal has some power to it. Everything that's written tends to happen on time, even if it doesn't come out the way she wants it. And at the end with " Destiny"

As for the girl with the red heels at the end, I believe that it is Natsume Masako (http://myanimelist.net/character/44218/Masako_Natsume) who pushed her down the escalator for these reasons:
1. The hands clearly belonged to a female.
2. The sleeve design matches her's.

Something tells me she's going to show up in the plot very soon.

I have to wonder, do you think Ringo cheats and reads ahead, "learning" about the far future? Also, what are the odds that there are more than one Penguindrum? I think it's possible for that other chick to have had one as well, maybe.

My Survival Strategy got replaced for that stupid Prince-Charming fantasies? GTFO

I ROFL'd at the penguin that made it look like he was trying to save Ringo, but instead took the fish and swam off.

Shadowed CPR scene didn't really fool me. I somehow had this feeling it wasn't gonna turn out as Ringo wanted with Tabuki, but good for her she didn't know who actually gave her the mouth to mouth. Ignorance must be such Bliss.

And no I don't want Shouma X Ringo either.I'd really love it if the series ends with him and Kanba in Himari's Reverse Harem.

Oh my my! That is one of my favorites for this series. Who knew she may be a murderer. My CSI instincts tell me it looks like sheer jealousy or revenge for something.

Sadly, no matter how brilliant this series is, and has made brilliant use of the Takarazuka theater in this episode, not just for comedy purposes, but also character development and show us more of their mind. It's not for everyone.

Not just because many do not understand what is being done, they simply not have patience.

My bet: Ringo is being manipulated by someone through the dairy.

I'm pretty it wasn't Kanba who pushed the girl with red shoes down the escalator. The perpetrator had pretty feminine legs. And the exact same stockings as Masako too.

Even more questions are raised by the end of the episode, but it appears (for now) that the diary might be a red herring. Who knows, what with the director's knack for trolling. Anyway, no Survival Strategy this week, which made me a rather sad man, but at least the fantasies had interesting lyrics. Good episode as always.

So... what? Ringo has one of those Future Diaries from Mirai Nikki or something? Girl is totally crazy. And o noez girlz got pushed down the escalator. If the diary is the penguindrum, what would be the significance of these order of events, especially since this red heeled girl and Ringo doesn't seem to have any connection to each other except for the loose link between the brothers.

The prinnies are still the best thing about this show.

Great episode. I'm eager to see what the Penguindrum, the diary and the subway are all about.

The destiny diary and Ringo's behaviour really resemble of obsessive-compulsive behaviour. In her mind, everything that is written on the diary must be made reality, otherwise something bad will happen to her or she won't get what she wants.

Sometimes funny show. Using the penguins at any possible moment to create little cut ins for comedy might get old soon. The "fantasies" of Apple-chan became annoying after the first two.

Ringo's diary... why do I get the feeling that it's either not describing things that will happen to her, or that she's changing her own future by using it?

As for the woman getting pushed down the stairs, I don't think it was Kanba. Actually, I'm suspicious of whoever she was talking to on the phone. They were discussing a plan to crush someone, and, in this context, just makes my mind spring to 'framing someone for murder'.

Anyway, I'm intrigued, and found this episode really funny.
If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues.
