The penguins are so darn adorable!! Me wants the one with the bow X3 And who wouldn't stalk a dude voiced by Ishida Akira <3 Anyho, Ringo is such a creepy stalker but a fun one nonetheless. Wonder what the penguin drum actually is. And and I should watch Utena. |
 |
| Ahaha, those penguins are the best. |
 |
| I love how this show isn't afraid to use color. Ikuhara + Penguins = Must. Watch. |
hinode said: so funny ....all the scenes with the penguins....they are so cute and i don't think the show is so random, if this is random what are you gonna call Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? it's just that we don't know the plot yet, but we'll have to be patience. the show it's awesome, can't wait for more. Anything with penguins is funny. For myself, again this episode is leaving me a big confused because things are still up in the air about the true intentions of the series. |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| creepy stalker girl, at least there was no incest this time penguins and bishie brother make the world a batter place also, what!? hoshino lily is in charge of art? no wonder i absolutely love it |
This episode took a weird turn into a item search at the expenses of Himari's life on the line. Ringo is adorable in the following, that is the most mesmerizing part of her while she was under the place where Tabuki's place. We are given quite the intro about Ringo with a a pink toilet bowl that has buttons to activate its functions and Ringo being in the bathroom while I did do a WTF @ the stars coming out from the bowl. Does it mean that Ringo's shit smells like stars? Of course not but I don't know what else to think of the stars coming out from the bowl and I am also perplexed by Ringo's handbag. Its composition certainly shows a liking to the marine life. Ringo's face kind of reminds of a certain person but not quite sure which one. Ringo has a breast complex according to the following spoiler Seems like things really get explained with Ringo's happy face here when she shows the picture to Tabuki. Here is the scary part of Ringo in the spoiler he looks pretty happy in listening to it. In the end we find out that she is so crazy about Tabuki that she has a diary of his behavior at home in the spoiler About the penguins, they were the best this episode. Their most funny in the following with the underwear,  now that was hilarious. Here is my list in regards to why are they perverted.
About Shouma/Kanba, Shouma got into a lot trouble with that girl accusing him of touching her ass while it was the penguin really and Shouma from the looks of his face is having trouble handling the case. Until Kanba comes to the rescue with his in the spoiler About Himari, I find her rather adorable in her room here. She was cute indeed and her MOE does not stop. Strangely enough as Himari is reading the magazine here, the blonde girl looks familiar from the OP. I found Himari the best in the spoiler Some elements noticed,
BTW I love the ED art in the spoiler |
| More musing about fate--this time from Ringo. I wonder if avoiding the sister's fate means that Ringo's fate will change as well? Excellent series...I anticipate a wild ride. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Lolz the episode sure made a dramatic turn at the end. Who knew Ringo was such an obsessive stalker. Inb4yandere. I also want one of those damn prinnys. |
 |
| What are people so surprised about? In real life if you die then put on a penguin hat and yell "Survival strategy!" the same thing will happen nobody has tried it yet? |

dbaranyi said: This was another totally brilliant episode! It appears that we have a very black comedy on our hands here. It's interesting, the penguin hat was less confident this time. Maybe there is more of Himari in it than we first thought. BTW - I'm betting that the red-haired and blue-haired dancers in the ending animation are the brothers. This series looks to be the best of the season!!! I think the two girls are "double H" the girls you see in a advertisement on the train and in a magazine Himari is reading. |

| I hope they don't pretend like Kanba kissing Himari in ep one didn't happen -_- I WANNA KNOW IF INCEST WINCEST IS HAPPENING <3 |

| Ringo. <3 Well i didn't even plan on watching this show, yet it's like one of best as for now this season. Wasabi said: Inb4yandere. I also want one of those damn prinnys. +1 Also, there's Noto Mamiko here? Can't wait for her to actually appear. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Was not expecting the stalker girl that's forsure. But I liked this episode :> |
 Full of the taste of love, search everywhere for that place. |
| Episode 1: Episode 2: I'm starting to think that the spinning drum might be some sort of helix. Spinning = spiral, drum = cylinder, cylindrical spiral = helix. it seems like there are more single- and double-helices than are normal. Also, the symmetry in the monologues is nice: Episode 1: Episode 2: All the aquatic imagery around Ringo seems intentional. Maybe she really is a penguin. |
| Yanderish stalker Ringo = <33333333333333333 |
 |
| In this anime: messed up people. |
 |
| Ringo is so incredibly creepy! I'm really confused about the Peguindrum ... at first I thought it might be the diary (like a Death Note for getting what you want ex. you write something down, it happens), but after reading Yumekichi's post I think the idea of the penguindrum being something non-physical makes sense. Hmm, a lot to think about! I have a full post about the episode here if you feel like checking it out. Also, those penguins are so hilarious, I can't wait until next week just because I want to see them again. XD |
| At first I was bothered by the stock footage(Survival Strategy Imagine scene from episode one) but by the end it turned out to be a pretty good episode. It should be fun to see how our stalker(Ringo) interacts with Himari's brothers. |
| Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she. |
| ahh this has such an awesome feel/atmosphere. my fave so far this season <33 Second episode delivered imo... I can't wait to know more about the Penguin Drum & miss stalker... |

KyubeyMittens said: At first I was bothered by the stock footage(Survival Strategy Imagine scene from episode one). Me too. I didn't expect stock footage after one episode. I can understand using the same transformation (if that is what you can call it) sequence, but they even repeated the brothers' animation. The only thing different in that scene was the dialogue. I like this show, but I am really curious as to how this can last 24 episodes. I expect a lot of aspects of the plot have yet to be revealed. |
| Mentioned in episode 1, producers don't hide this show is inspired by a classic novel "Ginga Tetsudou no Yoru (Milky Way Railroad)" written by Kenji Miyazawa. His name is heard from the scanner receiving 30GHz band (no way...) again. I don't like such a direct mention to other literary works, but there were similar anime; "Galaxy Express 999" and "Night on the Galactic Railroad" (the former is great). It seems Kenji had obsession to apples and he thought an apple is a mirrored image of the universe beyond 3D space; he only mentioned till 4D in the novel. And here comes Ringo (apple). As they have as many as 24 episodes, they may be going to introduce main characters for a while. P.S. It seems "kiga apple" in the OP means "penguin apple". |
| Ringo - taking stalking to an extreme level. Her way of stalking is beyond creepy! |
| I'm not really sure whats going on or how this series is going to develop plot-wise, but the penguins are funny so I'll stick around mostly for the penguins. |
Yumekichi11 said: Amaya-no-Hime said: I was thinking that too exactly among the possibilities.I think the Penguin Drum is probably the diary or the stamp. Agreed. Looks like one is able to "shape your (own) fate" with the diary and/or stamp. |
 |
| The second episode wasn't that great as the first... But very funny. That diary must be the Penguin drum, unless something unexpected happens. |
| i must admit that penguins are really funny , i dislike most of comedy but this was fun. also i dont understand people that said first episode was better , this was really good. also could that diary be a... future diary? like the one's at mirai nikki? yeah that scene at the end of first episode made me think that the show would be pure shit , but glad its not... for now. |
Riga92 said: I'm not really sure whats going on or how this series is going to develop plot-wise, but the penguins are funny so I'll stick around mostly for the penguins. It seems like the series is going to be focused on fate as determined by the penguindrum VS. the circumvention of fate by the penguin hat. This is first symbolized when the penguin hat changes the fate of Himari by not only resurrecting her, but also eliminating her illness entirely. The penguindrum predicts the end of the world (see the OP lyrics): something that the penguin hat is trying to avoid. It's possible that the penguin hat has come from the future (it says I come from the destination of your fate in the episode 1 transformation sequence) in order to put into motion the "survival strategy" to save the world. |
I want one of this. |
| Fantastic episode once again with sick direction, animation and characterization. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Those penguins are awesome at their work.Best camera men ever. Three lase? And i thought she was going nopan.  Btw, they really are disgusting living with cockroaches like that. Do something about that damn house of yours.How can they eat with a cockroach by their side? |

Do something about that damn house of yours.How can they eat with a cockroach by their side? 0_0 I hope it's not a coachroach. Without a doubt, this is the weirdest series of the season. They always end on a weird note. From the incest in the first episode to the fact that the girl is a stalker. I can't wait to see how weird the next episode will be. |
 |
| Everything is win. O Great Hat. Penguin cam. Creepy stalker. SURVIVAL STRATEGY! |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Well now, I'm still utterly confused and I don't think I've watched an episode that creepy since Madoka Magica. The penguins straddle the line between cute and annoying, but you can't deny how damn useful they are. I'm pretty sure having those things around would only me to partake in only the most depraved or internet perviness. Other than me waxing on a bit more about the penguins I don't have much else to add. I don't know what the f*ck is going on! That Ringo girl appeared cute and normal enough right up until the point she starts scaling high, high, high ledges to get pictures of swallows' nests. Stop using a cell phone and get a real camera with zoom you crazy b*tch! Then it just gets dark and creepy when she camps out in the crawl space under he fully grown adult teacher's apartment. And I never saw it coming either. No dark, cliched evil face or anything really. This was all done so damn subtlely that it just smacks in the face before you know it. OK! F*ck it! I'm interested now. Confused. Weirded out. But interested.  |
 |
| Did anybody else kinda get weirded out by the stars coming out of the crapper at the beginning? Does yandere girl shit rainbows or something? :P I also hate how they draw the normal pedestrians ... and why does the guy's only friend never show his face? He must be one ugly SOB, since there's no ugly people in anime. Still, interesting developments. I thought the yandere was a little creepy but she totally creeped me out there at the end, sneaking under the teacher's house and spying on the channel on his TV. I'd laugh if he turned on anime or even better, hentai ;p Unless this gets super annoying, I'll keep watching if for no other reason than the penguins. ^_^ They're cute as hell! I want one, useless panty-sniffers or not. 4/5 |
| I found this episode oddly hilarious. |
| Stalkers behind Stalker. Need Yandere action in next episode. |
 |
| Im I the only one who thinks that those penguins act like those penguins in Madagascar? xD Anyway...damn that girl is such a super stalker!!! Imagine someone living under your house like that just to hear everything you say and do in your own privacy and then writing them down in her diary knowing everything about you...*shudders* |
