This show is win on so many level. It can fail, I hope it doesn't. About to be either mediocre or great, that's what it seems now. Episode length seems to be around 3 minutes, damn those go fast.
I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls.

Ah, the craziness! It's been a long time since I've found an anime so fascinating, and so unpredictable. I love that they pretty much do whatever they want without being just random.

The frog going "ero.. ero.." cracked me up so much!

Also: love the daily subway advice.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm loving SURVIVAL STRATEGY! more and more. There's something about the animation, music and that crazy awesome Himari's persona that is so much fun.

Also, the slowly mystery slowly building up in this series is making the series very interesting. Then there are the Penguins, but those are pure fun!

Ok, what the hell. Apple AKA Ringo should just stop with all this stalking bullshit, it's not only damaging Shouma, it's also pissing me off greatly.'

Honestly this. I know she feels obligated to follow her sister's "destiny" but her stalking is over the top. I enjoyed the other aspects of the anime, but this heavy influence on Ringo is a bit irritating. I really hope that it they either tone it down or something.

Can we get some insight on whats happening with Kanba. Who's this guy giving him all this money? why is he giving him money? and why does Kanba ask the guy if he knows about the red balls because theyre the only ones who know how to use them?...since when did he figure out what they are? Also what was with the random incest at the end of episode 1, I thought they'd play on that and there'd be more of it but as of now it seems like it was just something random they threw into the story.

Congratulations Mamiko Noto, for getting engaged!
Your performance was stellar and you dress so amazingly! A perfect character if I could ever describe one.
That stalker bitch is just waaaay to jealous, imagining she does such disgusting things.

It wasn't a bad episode per say, but I think they are giving her too much focus. I want more Himari and Kanba.

PS: Penguin #2 is so funny. LOL

Oh god, those killerwhale inserts, my sides.

What I also like is how they are keeping the randomness to a minimum in the show: once the few premises were set in the first episode, it's been coherent build-up ever since. And this gives a serious tone to the show, yet while knowing anything can happen. I feel it creates an underlayer of tension, which is one of the definite qualities of this anime.

Not really a "small party."

Wow, Ringo BSOD'd really hard at that announcement.

Haha, these subway advertisement things are so relevant to each episode. Ringo really needs to learn to give up...especially when she's not even doing it for herself.

I agree, Cool Story Bro. She's so batshit insane. That frog was making the strangest, sexual sounds...

HOLY SHIT, she's going to rape him?! She's beyond crazy now.

And can we finally found out what Project M is?

'Good' guys apparently don't watch porn...whatever. XP

Nice singing haha.

Ringo's creep factor somehow managed to go up even more.

I feel so bad for Shouma, he's doing all of this for Himari. Just because he doesn't do the more dangerous stuff for her like Kanba doesn't mean it's not just as hard.

Not only is the rape part gross, but so is the idea of her emotionally manipulating him by getting pregnant and forcing him to take care of her when he's finally moved on from Momoko to be with Yuri, and is happy. :/

"Tokikago...Fabulous Max!" Never thought I'd get to see implied fellatio in a mainstream series like this one.

Ringo got NTR'ed bad. The Killer whale took her man and now she has to jump from the M of marriage to the M of maternity. Why do I get the feeling that there'll be the M of murder at some point.

Okay I said Ringo isn't truly evil, and I still believe she isn't, but what she is doing is extremely messed up. Well, it definitely shows how much of a psycho she really is. I wonder how this whole "Projet M" (I'm 100% convinced M stands for Momoka) thing ends.

Aside from that, I realize the show is bringing up more and more plot points. While it is still very entertaining it is also getting a little hard to follow. There is this whole stuff about the Survival Strategy, Ringo's insanity, her diary that apparently is the Penguindrum, the weird lady with a penguin who messes with the memory of Kanba's ex-girlfriends, and Kanba who's having business with a mysterious guy apparently related to the Penguindrum. That's a lot.
