| At first, I was like "Okay, what?" And then came that Yakushimaru Etsuko OP, and I was like "Oh, awesome." It'll probably take a while to get used to the art, though. Speaking of which, the art somehow feels so SHAFT'y. Not the actual art though. Just the feeling that it's different from everything else. And suddenly, penguins. And suddenly, I no longer have any idea of just what the heck is going on. Tl;dr I just have to continue watching this. On another note, it obviously aired, and yet MAL says it airs tomorrow, and according to other :sources: it airs in like 21 hours from now. A 1 day pre-airing or what? That's kinda weird, isn't it? |

| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| IKUHARAAAAAAA IKUHARAAAAAAAAAA IKUHARAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IKUHARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU BASTARD HAHAHAHAHA OH WOW It was great! Best anime of the season, calling it now. ps. there's NOTHING SHAFTlike about the art. Damn SHAFTfags, Ikuhara was doing abstract shit back when SHAFT didn't do any own productions yet, feh |
| I will be severely disappointed if there are fewer than three gay/bi characters. And Himari needs a personality. But it's weird and fun, of course I'm watching it. |
| 24 episodes anime, already like this anime. Good start on episode 1 :) |

 |
| Love the original idea... this anime does state some pretty interesting questions =3 Though the ending did seem to end with a sister complex =/ |

| Brilliant. The problem was that there was just so much things going on at once. I was very confused, but at the same time, amused. I was totally overwhelmed by incredible directions that Ikuhara showed us. This is, must watch. The best 1st episode so far. |
| Pretty good so far. The only downside was yet another terrible song by Yakushimaru Etsuko (thankfully not as bad as her others, though). |
| What a great episode and what a great start. The best start for all the Summer anime thus far. Is this really for 24th eps if they can keep this up. I might just have a new anime to go crazy for again. :D What they showed at the end was right. Next week is so far away. I really can't wait for the next ep to air already. |
 |
| Holy Jesus that transformation scene..if that gets repeated 24 times I will be a happy man. The OP isn't catchy though...I remember I was hooked on Utena's OP right off the bat since it drew me in with unicorns, iron gates, roses, and a huge dose of fabulous. |
| Ok™ |
| Incest already in the 1st episode. Can't say I'm surprised though. Fully expecting homo pairings in the next so don't disappoint! And in true Ikuhara fashion, FABULOUS transformation sequences, songs during said sequences, and of course, pulling things out of characters' chests. Also laughed really hard when that penguin chased down Blue-haired twin. Other than that, best first episode of the season, in my opinion. But man, this season has been pretty awesome. |

| PURE BLISS *o* |
| This is going to be awesome and it's 24 episodes! Got one problem though... What's going on? Damn penguins, ohh and incest? |
| we got some incest going on in da house, daaaaaamn. |
 |
| So much more fabulous than I expected. Had fairly high expectations for this coming in, and was more than satisfied, outside of a nice hook for the premise, it's quirky and super vibrant, definitely going to enjoy this. |
 |
| i can't handle these penguins their to CUTE haha. |
 |
| Well, this is definitely very interesting. |
busters said: we got some incest going on in da house, daaaaaamn. yeaaa~ xD normally I would drop a show instantly once I see that. but lol this whole episode was a rollercoaster ride for me xP in a good way! haha in a good way =). That whole transformation scene was so hot. |
|
| FUCKING IKUHARA Great anime incoming. |
| Holy crap. Really great episode. Already better than Star Driver ever was. That transforming sequence was awesome. Love the personality of the girl during... Ikuhara the true Penguin overload.  |

| I smell Utena-ness<3 Can't wait. The opener had some smezz looking characters, can't wait until they're introed. |
| I think I'm in love already. Hopefully the incest is nothing more than a one-sided attraction, though. |
 |
| Also in love. Everything about it entranced me. |
| Oh hell yeah. Ikuhara is back in the director's seat and all was right with the world. |
Zoddguts said: Already better than Star Driver ever was. That's not really hard to do. But yeah, interesting first episode. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Ikuhara (yuri) + Hoshino (yaoi) = incest? Nevertheless, enjoyed the episode and will continue. :D |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Incest ^^ |
 |
| Mood whiplash all over the episode! That was amazing! I never watched Utena But if it's anything like this than I might. Nothing of what I expected it to be, Which was awesome. The music is really great <3 Etsuko Yakushimaru is getting popular lately huh? busters said: we got some incest going on in da house, daaaaaamn. I was NOT ready for that *A* |
| penguins and incest, i'm in. |
| Am I the only one who thought the paint on their house was awesome? |
 |
| don't know what it is really about but I absolutely love it so far op and ed are both great Ourobouros said: Am I the only one who thought the paint on their house was awesome? nope, you are not the only one. |

dkrdude3 said: I don't know what the fuck I just watched, but I don't plan on watching any more. You watched 20 minutes of nonsensical crap. Honestly that was just plain idiotic. Dropped. |
| Whoa! I'm lost AND impressed, cool! (^O^) What a weird first episode! I'm not really sure about what to expect from this anime. We got the drama, tear-jerker, incest, and everything else all in one episode! Now that's how I like my anime! Ha ha! Other than that, this looks like a great series to be watching, and it's 24 episode! You know it has to be good if it's 24 episode, right? Ha ha! Looking forward to the next! |
| Looks like this will be interesting to watch. I love the penguins. They're so cute! |
| Oh Ikuhara. You so crazy. |
| That was kind of bizarre. So far, I'm impressed. Didn't know what to expect when I first opened the video. Could easily be one of the best this season. |
 |
Also, dat henshin scene was Fabulous! Need OST now. |
 |

Oh yeah, the episode ... whatthefuckerry of the best kind! :D And I want me some nonhetero pairings soon ^^. |
| so far the most interesting story of this season for me this has the best MOB char LOL.I can't stop laughing looking at those MOB..mayb a few ep can make me calm down a bit >.<~~ |

| No idea wtf is going on, hahaha. Really enjoyable first episode, though. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |

| Family Photo Spoiler in case people missed it like I did. |
| What was so hard to understand? Siblings living together, one of them had a terminal illness, and then she gets saved... But for a price. I was able to follow it perfectly. Could end up being a deconstruction of fairy tales that defy death. Who knows? Loved every minute of Mawaru! Penguins were cute whilst funny, asked thought provoking questions, DAT HENSHIN, Abstract artwork, and a beautiful soundtrack to go along with it! Brilliant! Ikuhara is back! |
