| I can't stop fucking sobbing OMG!!D'X Who would have thought it would have gotten this bad?? This beautiful series filled with hope and miracles!! This is something I really didn't expect at all, I'm trembling!! Only two more episodes to go, will my hormones be able to take it?! I have a new found respect for Masako too, and I never liked Kanba to begin with so I feel less bad for him then Sho~ |
  |
I can't get over how Kanba isn't doing anything to help is actual brother. Masako and Mario have the Natsume money - Kanba himself saw to that. Masako is wealthy and can afford the treatment for Mario, so Kanba doesn't really need to do anything for him. Unlike the Takakura siblings, who wouldn't have been able to normally afford payments for Himari's treatments, which requires Kanba to do more for her. Of course she offered Kanba money too, but he rejected it and he was already involved with terrorists at that point. He may not have been able to stop working for them even if he wanted to. |

| kanba = demoman/boss man he didn't want anything to get in his way! double H made an appearance! but himari wasn't there and i hope what i think happen to her didnt actually happen :( also poor tabuki i hope he pull through unless he died aswell :( and whats with the whole cage thing at the end ah its almost over :( so much sad faces! |

What an unfortunate time for Double-H to stop by, but I'm sure they didn't show up for nothing. Hopefully. And it really does feel like we're gonna have a lot of dead people come the next episode. And I don't mean all the poor fools Kanba's been blowing up with his smartphone. Oh & props to Masako for literally taking the spotlight and looking badass. |
 |
| No Masako don't sacrifice your hot body for that idiot. Well this episode shows that Masako was the most logical person in her weird family. StarryKite said: Just a little note: just why #1 is so obsessed with erotic situations and porn magazines? Of course, Kanba was a playboy, but I've never seen his sexuality as his leading quality. :/ Well his a guy willing to kill innocent people because he has the hots for Himari. |
| Can't wait for Kanba to get his |
 |
| This series has a way of turning your most loved character into a sociopath and your least liked character into a freaking hero omg. Poor Kanba. Poor Masako. POOR MARIO WHO IS TAKING CARE OF THIS KID? I'm super sad for all of the characters. This episode was so full of wtfery I can't. Really? Yuri's lover stabbed Tabuki? For why though? I'm fully convinced this series won't have a happy ending ;_; |
| Awwwwwwwww yeah, Kanba being a badass again, blowing things and and protecting girls from glass. What a hero. |

| lol I don't see how this anime is getting worse (like some of you have been saying), if anything, its getting way better! I actually found the first few episodes very boring (with a good ending) to be honest. |
 |
| A part of me just died hearing those ominous gunshots at the end... I don't want Masako to die >_< As an added note, did Himari just die too? O.o |

| Yuri gave the diary part back... I guess we have half of a death flag for Ringo here :x |

| Too many flashbacks, too few explanations. Playing around with mysteries unsolved to keep the audience in. I don't buy it, seriously. I love interesting plots, but this is getting ridiculous. I'm losing interest. This is my opinion, though. Too many things without explanation, hanging in the air. Too many symbols, character development missing in spite of these flashbacks filling up the whole series. I'm disappointed. Let's see if something can be saved on these last two episodes. Geez... |
| Two "creeps" at the beginning were hilarious :) |
| Good stuff. I like the stylistic way they presented the terrorists, all clad in black and the cops not even physically appearing. Also, Masako sacrificing herself was pretty memorable, I like how the first opening seemed to actually foreshadow this as that was the exact same shot used there. Of course, I won't actually write her off as "dead" until we know for sure. As far as Himari, I guess "god" just granted her wish. I honestly never even considered the idea that she was actually shot, I think it's another case of people taking Ikuhara's imagery a little to much at face value. As far as her? I don't know if she's dead or not. But, since we didn't actually see the Penguin completely fade I can't say for sure. I wonder how Shouma will play into all this. |

| Daaamn... that ending :/ It was nice to actually see Duel-H with the gift sad they couldn't meet up... Some great episode with action and great development! That flashback and that ending was just sad :/ |
 |
| 4.925/5 Great episode |
 |
| As this show progressed it got harder and harder to tell who is related to who, and is one relationship incest... oh wait it's not cause they're not related. But wait there's more creepy rich stalker lady who has feelings for Kanba is actually his sister. And that weird girl (at least I think it's a girl) with a mustache kills Tabuki (at least I hope he dies, that means one less idiot walking around) and then runs away in an overly dramatic way, such a drama queen. Sure this paragraph might look like a mess and hard to understand, but so is the show. I mean what are these guys on, crack? |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT CHICK FROM BEFORE WAS THE ONE WHO STABBED TABUKI GOD DAMMIT himari's friends came to see her and she wasnt their i am so angry [GROSS SOBBING BECAUSE OF KANBA] OH MY GOD I SWEAR, EVERY TIME HES INJURED HE'S ALWAYS HOLDING ON TO HIS did masako fire those shots or did the police? i hope its revealed in the net episode everything is smoothly sliding into place so far |
| this episode is really cool I like how kanba kill those police... lol how can 1 ball can kill that much people? even though it was in underground :/ oh love when double-h show up too! they are so cute :p |
| Hmm, seems I was right about Sanetoshi and Kanba. Sanetoshi is the puppetmaster, regardless if he's still alive or not... he's the one manipulating everybody. Kanba holds a leading position in the Kiga Group, if not already its leader. Masako makes her grand... exit? Hopefully not, but chances of surviving an armed confrontation with police armed only with amnesia balls and her special slingshot is terribly slim. Looks like Shouma really has more secrets to divulge. His origins will be explored next, I presume. Himari dies again for the third time. Still no trace of the hat or any mention about the Penguindrum... Tabuki survived the stabbing by... Yuri's jealous lesbian lover. Yuri surrenders one half of Momoka's diary to Ringo, the first successor to her legacy. Is this a passing of the torch? Also, what happens now to the other half of the diary that was in Masako's possession? |
| God dammit, this episode tricked me! I swear I was giggling like a little girl when Double H finally showed up in person. I was looking forward to happy things, why does everything have to start falling apart near the end!? T.T I love that Masako is going out flashily, but I don't want her to die that way, dammit. I don't even care that Kanba killed all those people, he's still a good person... but a little twisted. He's doing the only thing he knows possible to save his family... can't blame him for this mess he was forced into. Have to admit a very small part of me laughed inside, when it was Yuri's play-toy ex-lover... and the way she exited, bit of a lol. Of course, I still hated that scene... I didn't think I'd care about either of those two, but I can't have Tabuki dying right as he and Yuri are so close to actual love. I hope it wasn't implying at the end that Shouma will never amount to anything without Himari and Kanba. Dammit... all they had to do was find the Penguindrum, and they could've easily saved Himari, and none of this would've happened! Now Himari's going and trying to sacrifice herself. Fuck... two more episodes! Gosh... I must crush them soon. |
| That was an absolutely amazing episode. The dialogue between Kanba and Masako was so powerful. I think a lot of people are trying to take things too literally; this anime is 50% symbolism. I don't really think that Momoka's diary can do anything truly magical. Only love can change a persons fate. |

| I will be so upset if Masako dies, I feel so awful for her in general :c |
 |
| Done with Kanba and his needless drama. He's just a murderer now. Masako was redeemed a bit and got some growth, which is good, but the writers obviously needed to stretch out the episode a bit so they threw in some dramatic stares and slow motion shots. Yawn. I'm just ready for this ending to happen. |
     |
| I think Kamba's phone clock broke - it's 16:13 the whole episode. Or maybe he's secretly a time traveler or something, who knows? |
 |
| Wow soooo much has changed since the first episodes... So, Kanba is now a mass murderer... |

| MASAKO, NOO!!!! I really hope Masako can somehow get away! And Kanba.... no, just no! I hope he won't die and gets back to his senses. All that blowing up and killing... He's almost making me dislike his character and he's been my favourite this whole time. I fear that he won't have a happy ending, but I really wish he could have one. And HimarixKanba moment <3 It was so cute, although it didn't change anything. Kanba, you must stop! Even Himari says so! |
| "Oh, I wasn't trying to be funny.. I would've put a 'Haha' at the end of it." |
kalinime said: I don't even feel bad for Masako. She intentionally threw away her life protecting a terrorist. Here's hoping her sacrifice is rendered 100% meaningless with Kanba dying (hopefully after horrible suffering) before carrying out his plan. I cant call that sacrifice as meaningless because she just wanted to protect her brother |
| Kanba is but a pawn, just to save himari even though she sacrificed herself eventually. Wonder how natsume will fend off the police while kanba group gets away... |
 |
| Wait, did the penguin just bring out Yu-Gi-Oh cards at the end? XD |
 |
| afraid this will end up as some kind of butterfly effect where the penguindrum takes them to the beginning, stops sanetoshi and all is good in the world again. but then again it's ikuhara. i just don't know how they're gonna save kanba from this point. and to be honest, i don't want him to be saved. not because i don't like him, but because i don't believe he should go on without being punished. |
  |
| Is Himari going to be our new Monoka? Is she going to somehow save them all? I can't believe it will actually end so bad, but i guess at the same time it makes it more real. I felt the whole Masako story was left incomplete. Like, i hope we get answers and further development cause we can't forget Mario has a hat, and so, why Sanetoshi was trying to pull Masako in? What's gonna happen now? |

| Don't tell me Masako died to save that murderer. |
| Another great episode, everything is moving towards a dramatic finale. I loved the scene with Himari trying to convince Kamba to stop a lot. No. 3 was trying to distract No. 1 from reading the books about some distant worlds ("Space Odyssey") with the pictures of women, but to no effect. This mirrors Himari's behavior in the scene - she embraced Kamba, told him about her love. "Look at me! Stop!". Kamba ignored this though. No. 1 is then seen reading Faust - a famous book about a doctor making a deal with the devil. This mirrors Kamba's relationship with Sanetoshi. I love these subtle details a lot. Masako's supposed sacrifice (I hope she will survive though) was handled brilliantly. All the red color surrounding her, the gradual shots of her legs and arms moving upwards were incredible. Very emotional scene. The music and Masako's speech too. ---------- UPD: more than 1 year later, I still adore this scene. I've rewatched it countless times. |

| Masako sacrifices herself for a brother whose sacrificing himself for his "sister". Also, it's kinda cool that a budget-saving measure like the stick figures instead of crowds would grow on me so much. I like it. |
| Penguindrum ain't missin with these episodes bruh fr. My girl Masako went out like a OG getting ventillated like that especially to this track With what Kanba's been doing on his darker path I don't see him making it by the end tbh. And damn that actress bitch stabbed Tabuki big oof Sanetoshi a sneaky mf but he's a cool as fuck villain I know he got something cooking up next episode P.S That explosive bowling app looks fun as hell not gonna lie >.> |
 |
| Kanba went from playboy to terrorist Himari is dead?! Masako might be too?? This really became dark. We need the survival strategy now. |
