I have a feeling that the plan written down in the diary might all lead to Ringo/Shouma happening instead of Ringo/Tabuki. If I believe, Shouma ate the curry that Ringo had made in ep 3 with a big smile on his face, helped her wih the lunch that she had made for Tabuki (and probably test-tasted it offscreen), and he was the one to save her and kiss her. So far, the things that Tabuki is supposed to be doing according to the diary are being accomplished by Shouma. The upcoming episodes will reveal more if this is indeed the producers' intention.

Don't you think it shows something about her personality, it's clearly obvious that she believes what she is doing is ok, and to be honest kind of like a fairy tale, which helps build up her crazy stalker mentality, I mean come on she believes she is destined to be with Tabuki, which makes it kind of funny.

Pretty much this. Although I thought she was going to be nicer to Sho after finding out he's a student of Tabuki.

I don't know why some people can't stand Ringo.
In my opinion, she's way better than those typical shoujo manga girls that
dream about finding or winning the heart of their "prince" BUT try to act cute all the time. They act so darn stupid and it seems like (and looks like) they have no brain.

NO. Just thinking about it annoys me. There's no way in hell I would like a girl like that.
Ringo is about the same thing except for the fact that she's a freaky stalker girl and she's really weird. In shoujo mangas, the girl gets everything they ask for. When they confess to the guy they like, they usually don't like them back, but later on falls in love with them or something. Ringo, however, isn't that lucky.
She's very unfortunate because everything always gets screwed up.

I freaking love her. She's hilarious and she is annoying at times but her personality is really weird and funny.

I hope she ends up with Shouma~
I think if it did happen, Ringo would fall in love with Shouma because if it were the other way around...Ringo's a little "too obsessed" and I don't think anything Ringo has done up to now helps her relationship with Shouma. At all. xD
Oh well...one can hope... ;__;

probally my least favorite episode to date, seemed as if they were using the scenes where Ringo was day dreaming to get away with bad animation, they dragged on for way to long and made the episode enjoyable.

Lol, I thought I can enjoy this anime without thinking but...

Wait. Oh yeah, I still can.

I've got a soft spot for Shouma so I really didn't like the way Ringo treated him but still, hidden respect for obsessive stalker is still there. Gotta tune down the daydreams though, I mean, if you wanna stalk and make something yours, you gotta use your right brain as well.

Fun. This episode was just fun. From the rogue, serial stinking skunk, to Ringo's tena-esque flights of fancy. Most of all, I enjoy how this show which has been traveling headlong into whatever direction it is going has finally shot the audience a glance and smiled. Tabuki's girlfriend gets a decent amount of reveal in this episode. Most telling of all isn't that she's an actress, though that could point to a thing or two, but that she's noticed and acknowledged Ringo's attempts.

That was all I needed to make me happy in regards to this episode, but seeing the nasty turn a side character took at the end really fueled my excitement for this story. I've been very judgmental and dismissive of this show up until this point. Perhaps my attitude will change with the next episode.

Yuuup~ Ringo is definitely my favorite character. I want to believe it wasn't her that pushed the lady in the red heels down the escalator, but part of me would be immensely intrigued if she turned out to be a legitimate psychopath. The entire escalator death + notebook made me think of Light from Deathnote... even moreso since her name is Ringo [Apple].

Tabuki's lady-friend whose name I can't remember seems like a real douche hat.... and whatever happened to Kanba?

THIS. When Ringo stops being all bitchy, that would be awesome.

But still. Ringo's crazy. It's kind of annoying.

Best show of the year? I don't know, but man they really nailed Ringo as a character. I mean even though the dreams work as comedy they also give a glance into her thought process, which is obviously pretty screwed up.

Such a great and surprising and funny episode. The caterpillar had me laughing madly, and I kept chuckling whenever the daydream background rose up. I loved Ringo's facial expressions this time. The poor girl - yes, she's messed up, but she seems strangely innocent at the same time. A very determined teenage girl hopelessly in love!

And of course they ruined the impression of innocence in the end - wtf was that? It was disturbing! Great stuff! I love how the show keeps messing with the audience and just veers off in a completely different direction with a teehee and an oompah! as soon as you think you've finally grasped it.

This series is wonderful. I knew it would be good when I first saw their cluttered house in the first ep.

Mamiko Noto singing was pure bliss. Her beauty and wit is perfect for her profession and I love how she pwned triple lace. I wonder if triple lace will end up with Shouma somehow.

Now, is Ringo's diary predicting the future à la Mirai Nikki or is is just that she plans out the day beforehand and is super dertermined to make it work at all costs? Hmm.
Anyway, I like Shou. =)

so yeah i figured about halfway through the episode the diary is most likely the penguin drum
i sorta hope a romance develops between ringo and shouma
im guessing whatever she writes in the diary is bound to happen but not in the way she plans it out. its like her own future diary ( mirai nikki ref right there)
surprise ending
all i want to know is if she planned for the woman to fall down the escalator or she wanted something else to happen. probs something else because whatever she writes never comes out the way she wants it to

This episode was really funny and great in story development as well! The funny style with the story scenes was pretty original and a good addition to the whole story but Ringo sure has some though competition!

What's up with that ending with the woman in red heels? Lets see what's up with that next!

Surprised Ringo is not as yandere as I thought. Her fairy tale delusions are so trippy, lol. But wow, an actress, she can't possibly compare. Her delusions actually replacing reality? Lawl.

Wow #1 was so far up that waitress's ass, lol.

Whoa, Yuri is pretty vindictive. And she seemed so nice and all.

WHOA, DAT ENDING. Could it really have been Ringo? That deviates so much from her "Get in Tabuki's pants" fate line.

I don't really like Ringo too much, but I suppose she's vital to the mistery in this series since it seem the diary is probably the Penguindrum.

I wonder who pushed the hottie at the end?
