| This was another excellent episode about Shouma x Ringo  Even though it was the stupid CPR crap. With all that nasty shadow here, I really though it was Tabuki that was going to do that. That is because I see him right here tending to Ringo. Guess I got totally punked but then again this show is good at that. Shouma is a freaking hero in the spoiler In this episode we are presented with the following beautiful girl named Sami Kuhou as follows,  She looks like a top model or escort slut girl with her 2 friends. However the problem stems at thee end in the spoiler About the skunk, he needs his won section for being one of the best gag elements in anime so far. This skunk is freaking funny. His first attack in the spoiler
BTW the skunk in this episode made me think of my saving the life of one by slowing down with my car in not killing. Well I heard it's bad for the car since it makes it smell bad anyway. The end art in the spoiler |

| Shouma deserves all the attention from Ringo, but I don't know if that is a good thing. |
| still no real progress and no survival plan this time :( Ringo was so mean to the dumb brother. needed more of the good brother. Tabuki keeps reminded me of Head from Star Driver. |
 |
| Lol, another amazing amazing amazing episode xD. The funniest part was when Ringo drowned and the penguin swam towards her to only grab the fish xD. I fking roflol'ed xDDDD. The skunk parts were hilarious too. -The singing scenes -ALL OF IT!!!! Alsooooo~ the legendary Miss Horie Yui made her appearance as Masako-san in this episode :P ( the woman who was talking to the girl on the phone at the end ) |

| Watching this and Utena... Ikuhara is awesome. This episode was funny, smart and managed to keep the mistery going on. |
| Dayum, why is it that this anime wins by default over all other shows of the season! Another brilliant episode. I loved Ringo's wacky fanasies, so hilarious. Sunshiny opera troupe must be modeled after Takarazuka Revue. I nearly died (literary since I choked) at the 'If they have no bread, let them eat cake' reference. Luckily, it was not all hilarity (though I enjoy such moments in this anime immensely), but we also get confirmation that Yuri is not all that sickeningly perfect as she wants to appear + some mystrery development at the end (as they'd say in novels - the plot thickens). All in all another 5/5 from me. On a side note, why did that skunk have the penguin logo on his back?!? Yumekichi11 said: You got love how #1 penguin is in the spoiler Seriously! Just how perverted can those penguins get xDDD |

| this show is so fucking funny and i love all the characters. |
| I really want to know what's going on with Kan. He's been up to something since the first episode. Loved the penguins as usual. <3 Not so sure about the prince/princess bits, however. |
| (◕ᴥ◕し) Hello! Did you know? Barnacles have the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom. |
| I can't even remember the last time I had this fun watching animu. And that's one deep pond. lolpenguin grabbing a carp instead of Ringo. Not unexpected, just hilarious. Definitely the best show of the season. Also, Fabulous Max~ |
| 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. |
| Wut da fock. dat ending. Gahhh now I'm dying to know what the connection between Apple-chan and the lady in red heels is. This is worse than Geass cliffhangers. |

| Well that was... That was so much fun in different ways. Noto Mamiko is tough competition, that's for sure. And that last part was unexpected. That diary really seems to be the Penguindrum but why is it required. And who are the others who want it? I'm really looking forward to the next episode now. I miss the Survival Strategy meeting already D: And them penguins are still full of win. |
 |
| lol One of the penguins is a pervert! But the last part was unexpected. What the hell just happened?! |
| I lol at the No.2 penguin i thought the no.2 penguins was gonna save Ringo and i just LOL |
| Good ending , who could be the one that trow the girl at the end? im still interested in how ringo's future diary works. |
| haha,I haven't laughed that much for a while Ringo is so crazy, funny thing Shouma peeked into diary without her noticing it lololol those penguins, I love them oh, I know who killed the lady at the end |
| Ringo was seriously pissing me off with her fairy tale day dreams. |
 |
| THE PLOT THICKENS. I think it's Kanba that pushed her down the stairs but it was written in Ringos diary. DESTINY? OR DESTINY? |
| Judging by the clothes, I think the red headed lady from the OP shoved red heels girl down the escalator! Though for a second I thought it was Ringo trying to fulfill destiny again or something. That'd be too creepy though, wouldn't it. Hahahahaha. Anyhoo, I hope we get some more Survival Strategy!!! next episode~ And more Kanba would be nice too. |
| Lol. I loved the part which the penguin got that fish instead of her!!! THE PLOT THICKENS!!!! Also, wtf was up with the skunk? Also, NO RINGOXSHOMA!!!!! Ringo was a total b***h in this episode. I was kinda of happy when Yuri told her off. |
 |
| Pretty funny episode until the very last part of course. Ringo is a crazy bitch. Who knew that the innocent looking girl in the opening could be so crazy? She's willing to drown herself to get the guy she wants. That's a bit extreme. Though I had to feel sorry for her when Yuri showed her ugly side to her and her only. Who else saw that coming? I think now it's pretty obvious that Ringo's journal has some power to it. Everything that's written tends to happen on time, even if it doesn't come out the way she wants it. And at the end with " Destiny" As for the girl with the red heels at the end, I believe that it is Natsume Masako (http://myanimelist.net/character/44218/Masako_Natsume) who pushed her down the escalator for these reasons: 1. The hands clearly belonged to a female. 2. The sleeve design matches her's. Something tells me she's going to show up in the plot very soon. |

| I have to wonder, do you think Ringo cheats and reads ahead, "learning" about the far future? Also, what are the odds that there are more than one Penguindrum? I think it's possible for that other chick to have had one as well, maybe. |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
ReaperCreeper said: Ringo was seriously pissing me off with her fairy tale day dreams. That was the funniest part imo. |
| My Survival Strategy got replaced for that stupid Prince-Charming fantasies? GTFO I ROFL'd at the penguin that made it look like he was trying to save Ringo, but instead took the fish and swam off. Shadowed CPR scene didn't really fool me. I somehow had this feeling it wasn't gonna turn out as Ringo wanted with Tabuki, but good for her she didn't know who actually gave her the mouth to mouth. Ignorance must be such Bliss. And no I don't want Shouma X Ringo either.I'd really love it if the series ends with him and Kanba in Himari's Reverse Harem. |

NanoZero said: a Deathnote or Mirai Niki reference perhaps?I think now it's pretty obvious that Ringo's journal has some power to it. Everything that's written tends to happen on time, even if it doesn't come out the way she wants it. And at the end with " Destiny" NanoZero said: Oh my my! That is one of my favorites for this series. Who knew she may be a murderer. My CSI instincts tell me it looks like sheer jealousy or revenge for something.As for the girl with the red heels at the end, I believe that it is Natsume Masako (http://myanimelist.net/character/44218/Masako_Natsume) who pushed her down the escalator for these reasons: 1. The hands clearly belonged to a female. 2. The sleeve design matches her's. |
| So i saw the girl who pushed Kanba's ex had black stocking wich expect for redhair we saw only in OP until now on one wears. Also like someone mentioned, those sleeves. But man, now i feel like watching moar of it... D: |

ReaperCreeper said: Ringo was seriously pissing me off with her fairy tale day dreams. yeah. |
Pure win... Pure Win... ReaperCreeper said: Ringo was seriously pissing me off with her fairy tale day dreams. Sadly, no matter how brilliant this series is, and has made brilliant use of the Takarazuka theater in this episode, not just for comedy purposes, but also character development and show us more of their mind. It's not for everyone. Not just because many do not understand what is being done, they simply not have patience. My bet: Ringo is being manipulated by someone through the dairy. |
 |
| Oh she died......maybe. She could've also just gone into a coma or something. That was probably Ringo. |
 |
| The plot thickens Dun dun dun. But there weren't any Penguin queen this time. I'm officially loving this anime :) |

| Oh God!! Another WIN episode.. Those Penguins made me laughed to tears esp. the one who grabbed a carp. ROFLMAO!! Oosran said: Also, Fabulous Max~ QFT Those fairytale parts are definitely amusing.. |

| WHERE THE HELL WAS MY SEIZON SENRAKYU AND ROCK OVER JAPAN???!!! |
| "You watch too much." "I don't watch enough."  |
| Even more questions are raised by the end of the episode, but it appears (for now) that the diary might be a red herring. Who knows, what with the director's knack for trolling. Anyway, no Survival Strategy this week, which made me a rather sad man, but at least the fantasies had interesting lyrics. Good episode as always. |
| I love what goes on in Ringo's head. The old shoujo manga facial expressions/style are fun too. And Kanba's penguin doing upskirt peeks at Kanba's "victims".. haha, they really reflect the underlying behavior/thoughts of their paired humans. |
| So... what? Ringo has one of those Future Diaries from Mirai Nikki or something? Girl is totally crazy. And o noez girlz got pushed down the escalator. If the diary is the penguindrum, what would be the significance of these order of events, especially since this red heeled girl and Ringo doesn't seem to have any connection to each other except for the loose link between the brothers. The prinnies are still the best thing about this show. |
 |
| awesome ep. jeez i loved the skunk, looooooooool. im feeling that Shou and Ringo will have something together...or not XD |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Best episode yet. This is really starting to get good. |
Z-flame said: Damn there wasn't any Survival Strategy :( When #2 penguin ate the fish instead of rescuing Ringo XD Agreed! |
|
| Great episode. I'm eager to see what the Penguindrum, the diary and the subway are all about. The destiny diary and Ringo's behaviour really resemble of obsessive-compulsive behaviour. In her mind, everything that is written on the diary must be made reality, otherwise something bad will happen to her or she won't get what she wants. |
RyuKirin said: Lol, another amazing amazing amazing episode xD. The funniest part was when Ringo drowned and the penguin swam towards her to only grab the fish xD. That was beautiful. I was thinking: "How are they going to explain how she randomly floated up? ...Wait, he came for the fish?!" Ringo's Imaginary World got a little hard to follow, especially at the caterpillar scene. |
| I felt like smacking Ringo ,she's too... annoying at some points xD;; or maybe its just me.. anyways, funny yet interesting episode even though I hated the fairy tale daydreams she kept having, they were... eh xD;; anywho, LOL Pengi #2 catching a fish and not Ringo, that was, a funny scene as for the ending part, dang, :c |
 |
| Sometimes funny show. Using the penguins at any possible moment to create little cut ins for comedy might get old soon. The "fantasies" of Apple-chan became annoying after the first two. I'm continuing to watch this because the last few seconds were pretty interesting. :/ |
 |
| Ringo's diary... why do I get the feeling that it's either not describing things that will happen to her, or that she's changing her own future by using it? As for the woman getting pushed down the stairs, I don't think it was Kanba. Actually, I'm suspicious of whoever she was talking to on the phone. They were discussing a plan to crush someone, and, in this context, just makes my mind spring to 'framing someone for murder'. Anyway, I'm intrigued, and found this episode really funny. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
