----------------------------------------
A very interesting episode on the background of Ringo with her family as follows,

is looks like a happy family. Loved meeting Ringo’s mother in the spoiler
and it looks like the father is nowhere to be seen. Ringo’s room is very interesting in regards to her having a kappa plushy and other motives such as the chandelier along with the those hanging star things.

Himari was totally epic being possessed by the hat and suddenly becoming a cow in the following,

I would never think she could could drink 6 MILK BOTTLES? As seen in the spoiler
they are very much full. But 6 bottles gulping. Wow! I loved for a first time of something that reminds me of sailor moon, a pose of Himari when she is possessed here. I also liked that they showed Himari without the hat is as good as being dead. Rather a little shocker there.

In the end Himari invited Ringo to her place. Will the survival game activate and the penguin drum from Ringo will be retrieved? More later.

Excellent episode once again.

I'm not sure if the cow and the curry were direct references to Utena but they sure did remind me of those two wacky episodes. All I can say is that Ringo sure is a crazy bitch. I wonder how this will play out in the future episodes.

Also, I can't help but chuckle whenever Ringo references "Destiny" regarding Tabuki. Akira Ishida sure does a lot of roles that involve "Destiny" doesn't he?

I enjoyed this episode yet again. Yeah I also got Utena references from the curry and cow scene. No idea if they were going for that, but I couldn't help but chuckle.

This anime is really good! I was on the fence, leaning to drop it after the end of the first episode, but I'm glad I didn't. The last two episodes were really good and I really don't know where this is headed.

I know the drinking milk thing would have helped her reveal who she was, but was wearing that costume really necessary? I thought they would figure out it's her journal, but I guess in the next episode they will find out.

I like how Ringo doesn't even try to hide her crazy. She should write blond bitch's name in her Penguin Note. Subete wa keikaku doori.

I immediately thought of Nanami's brief cameo appearance in the Utena Movie as soon as Himari appeared in the cow outfit, I was lol'ing. And the curry? I'm loving all these Utena references, it makes me so happy.

Hilarious episode, I am not minding that we don't know what the hell the Penguin Drum is yet, the penguin antics keep me highly entertained.

I flinched when she touched that pot with her bare hands.
Ringo is crazy as hell. Creepy but she's still interesting.
Them penguins are still full of win. And I'm really liking that reused Survival Strategy sequence even though it's reused animation.
But I'm not liking that the brothers keep saying "For Himari" every single time.
So now they know the target but is that really the Penguindrum. Next week I guess.

Lots and lots of curry here. Made me hungry. I'd like some curry for dinner now.

I was considering dropping this show after the first episode, but the last two have been great. The characters are all interesting and I'm looking forward to the next episode. On a completely unrelated note, I've been on a liquid diet cuz I got my wisdom teeth removed, and all that talk about curry made me want to throw up.

Ringo is just so Yandere. If Tabuki does ever get together with her, he'd better never look at another woman or his body parts will end up in the next pot of curry.

So one twin is a real player and the other is the usual hapless anime hero. There are lots of interesting dynamics here. I have no idea where this arc is going.

Yeah I like how they made one of the brothers (kanba) mature and a non-virgin like character (im not saying Kanba has sex with a lot of ladies or anything) im just saying its rare we have a main protagonist who is popular with the girls and doesn't act like a spazz who is blind to girls advances he is also skilled at many other things that apparently his ex's thought him. Kanba is a cool guy he kinda reminds me of a Hero version of Izaya.

On topic:
Im happy the Sensei has a girlfriend and I don't feel sorry for Ringo at all because she is a fucking nutjob she grabbed the pot just for him to eat her curry that was batshit insane.

I didn't like Himari's Hairstyle in this episode but her voice is so HHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! So that made up for it.

I'm finding the Survival Strategy meeting equally nice, every time.
She grabbed it with just her hands!
Fabulous Max~

Tl;dr this episode was full of win. Like the other two episodes. Definitely worth being the best show of the season.

It takes a certain level of crazy to do what Ringo did in this episode especially switching the pots while the first one was hot AND run away with it. I suspect something going on between Ringo and her diary like Ginny Weasley and Tom Riddle's diary. It's not exactly the same kind of relationship but that's what came to mind for me.

LOL! I was hoping that Tabuki would turn out he has a girlfriend to spice things up and drive Ringo to do crazy things to win him. I LOLed when Shouma stepped on the banana peel the penguin threw away, it reminded me of when Chu Chu did the same to Nanami in the curry episode in Utena.

The flashback with Tabuki eating curry with the Oginomes' and Ringo's mother calling him by his first name made me wonder what kind of relationship he has with the family. I also loved Himari's Mickey Mouse hair style, so cute :3

All who's left to make their entrance is Masako and the pink-haired man/woman. From the OP, I gatheted that Masako might have some connection with the Penguin Hat, seeing as the bullets that she uses has the black and white penguin face on them. Is she an ally or a penguin hunter?

Another great episode.

The brothers keep emphasizing that they'd go any lengths for Himari and that's probably foreshadowing enough that things won't turn out pretty.

The penguins are still as hilariously ridiculous as ever (`・⊝・´) (`・⊝・´) (`・⊝・´)

Also, them Ringo's facial expressions. This part really cracked me up.

Okay, I think I'm starting to see where this is going and for that I'm pretty pleased of myself for once. This could be a pretty strong contender for the show of the year if they don't shit this up. And with these people behind it that's not too likely.

I'm absolutely craving for more episodes.

Less interesting than the first two but still so well directed and animated (not counting music) that I am in awe at the quality of this series.

Afraid not. Show of the year belongs to Fate/zero. It's inevitable. Not even showing until October but it will blow this out of the water. How do I know?

Gen Urobuchi(Madoka, Phantom, Saya) + Kinoko Nasu(Fate, kara no kyoukai and Tsukihime) + ufotable = unbeatable awesome.

I read the books. With a story and staff like this I can't see how it could go wrong. If they don't screw it up we shall see something for the ages.

Anyway this episode was quite good. Can't wait to see more.

A panties-flypaper trap. Lol what's that for?

Ringo...Just for touching the hot pot on the stove with her bare hands I'm gonna think something yandere-ish is going to happen soon.

BTW Why doesn't that princess of the crystal (or what ever that penguin hat is called) just tell the brothers what the penguin drum exactly look like?

It was an Alright episode. I liked the cow scene xD it was adorable. It was kinda like the previous episode where they were following her around and stuff. but looks like next episode they finally gone get that destiny diary or something.

I at the moment like the big brother more than the lil one since he's taking more responsiblity too. Unlike the other guy who keeps falling down to a pit in the "Survival Stradegy" :3

Cant wait for more of this anime (just guessing here but i think Ringo doesnt have the penguin drum. and that that blond chick is porbably gona die or something:P)
