Wow. Just wow. 10/10. That ShoumaxRingo scene killed me... As good as Kanba/Himari scene was, I felt Ringo's and Shouma's was more emotional, perhaps it was the whole fire thing and Shouma basically saying "it's not hers to fix"... Or I'm probably just a big biased ShoumaxRingo fag. My head is still full of fuck though. Lmao. Can't believe there will be no more "WTF is going on!?!?!" on Thursdays....My mind got so use to all these confusions and fate crap :( Epic. ![]() ![]() |

Wonderful anime, great ending, I was close to tears. I knew a "reset" of sorts had to happen because everything had become so twisted. I think it's good Himari was separated from the two because all the mixed feeling of family love and romantic love was washed away. I thought it was weird that the guys were made younger, but it makes sense since that's their age when they shared the fate. At least we finally know that Shouma loved Ringo as well.. I really wanted a kiss there. Her reaching out to nothing made my heart sink. Sanetoshi claiming the train was going to come again was interesting, almost like a threat, not that Momoka was worried anyways haha. 9.45/10 Edit: I know this might be incredibly mean of me, but if it ended with Himari dead, and Kanba in jail or the psych ward from going crazy after losing her, that'd be totally okay with me. Natsume would visit him often, and he's slowly has affection for her. Ringo and Shouma would begin a relationship. This would be the more realistic "you cannot avoid your own fate" angle.

;__; These tears just won't stop! Oh God, those two boys at the very beginning of the show were Kanba and Shouma! :o Probably the most beautiful and heartbreaking show I've ever watched where I didn't even get what was going on half the time. I'll really really miss this show. Everything was stunning - the music, the characters, the visuals, and oh god, the story! Will probably rewatch it as soon as I'm slightly less depressed to catch all the symbolism and whatnot I missed. Really, what a fabulous series. <3 |

How he pushed her away and went in the flames...... ))): It REALLY did remind me Madoka however, i was ind of expecting this kind of ending. |

Great episode. Awesome anime. I'm trying to remember where I've seen this "I don't have memories, then why am I crying?". But I've seen it before, I'm sure it is a common place xD |

Factsies said: Clearly copied the ending from Madoka, 4/10 actually I believe the events you are referring to are the brutal murder and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, from which both Madoka and Penguin Drum heavily borrow Elsewhere, a somewhat startled Warren Worthington III finds that he has accidentally wandered into an electrified east-side world of post-twist teens and watsui-ing teeny-boppers... |

I knew it was going to be a bittersweet ending. It was sad but really good. A lot of questions still weren't answered but I don't really care, I simply loved this anime. Goodbye Mawaru Penguindrum ![]() |

Overall, I think I liked the ride. I won't call it my favorite anime, because I didn't like some parts of it. However, I would have to say the show itself is a beautiful work of art. Kanba/Himari shippers might hate me for this but their romance was rather weird, I suppose. Even when I found out they weren't siblings, their romantic development felt a bit weird. I knew Kanba loved her but I wasn't sure if Himari's feelings were that of a lover or a sister but I could be interpretating that completely wrong; it just wasn't clear enough for me to be too comfortable with it. Plus, I remember the anime saying that Shoma is Himari's fated one? Then again, it might have something to do with Shoma and Kanba being in the same fate so technically, it's like Himari/Kanba/Shoma in my head (So like a sibling thing, which makes more sense). I do see the relationship between the two though so that confusion is easily driven out of my head. What I was not expecting was Shoma to die. For me, Shoma was my favorite character, hands down. I loved his characterization (I suppose that makes sense because, just like Guilty Crown's Shu, he has so much potential). And I knew he had some importance to the characters and he was inevitably the key along with Kanba. However, when he burst into flames and said "I love you", I was like "WTF" Don't get me wrong, I do like Kanba (even though I thought he was losing it for a second), but when Shoma died too, I was in shock. Still, their sacrifice was beautiful so I appreciate both of their characters tremendously. It was bittersweet, insane and fun but just like Revolutionary Girl Utena, it's beautiful in an un-explainable way. I appreciate animes like this always. I'll give it a 8.5/10. Now, I have to get over Shoma's death, argh. <3 |

m4rc0 said: So, for the Madokafags any anime that ends with a world reset is a copy huh? I wonder what those guys have to say about Lain... Yes, because we all know one person says something stupid = whole fanbase feels that way. LOGIC! Anyways, fantastic ending. I teared up when Masako was talking to Mario. (Seriously though, why was he in the anime? Was it to fill in the split Momoka thing?) ![]() |

Aggh the unanswered questionssss! Besides that, this ending was pretty satisfying, I think. When Himari forgot about the bros, my eyes just started exploding water on me. ;_; I feel like the Shouma/Ringo "I love you" was kinda out of place though. I dunno...I just never really felt Shouma loved her that way? Him taking on her fire punishment made sense though, but I dunno...maybe my not shipping them together is creating bias in my brain. @_@; Well this was a good anime, and I love it. I'm not sure how I feel about this ending though. My heart just can't take their sibling bonds being destroyed like that. TT__TT |

Am I the only one who felt nothing? I felt that having the penguins be funny kinda killed the entire mood and the semi-random flash backs made it hard to follow. All in all it was a good ride but meh. 9/10 |
