| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This is it people! The evolution of the plot propelled forward left me in T_T of happiness. Quite simple the following,  Natsume x Kanba! Yeah! I think they will be good for each other. GIF link of that: http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb480/Yumekichi11/Picture%209/754ffe00.gif Moreover the penguins kissed also in the spoiler In other news the following  Mario! Finally it’s confirmed he has the same powers as Himari does with the Survival Strategy. Where this is going to lead is debatable but I want to see some Shouma x Ringo more. In regards to Shouma at first I was O_O at the spoiler but then seeing his face here in the hospital made it all good. so to all: It's OK, Shouma is alive! We are OK as Shouma fans. Ringo coming to visit was nice too there. It truly is amazing how Natsume totally blew me off at the end. I was totally thinking she would blow out Kanba. That kiss threw me off. It was astonishing that such progress happened and of all things Ringo gave away the diary. So it’s over. Damn it! I wish it would end somehow else. It is still very hard for me to accept Natsume herself after what she did to Shouma and poor nurse in the spoiler Natsume also drugged and humiliated Shouma in the spoiler
So who supports Kanba x Natsume? ME! For now. End arts are nice in the spoiler BTW Image Stitches have been done in the spoiler |

| Ringo is going down a drastically better path after some drastic event. She even gave up on the diary for his sake. I expect her to be more into Shouma. She doesn't treat him like a sideway rock anymore, and actually calls him with "-kun" too. Sweet. I'm now convinced that these twins are immortal, especially Shouma who went through a lot recently. Kanba got dragged by a truck on the highway, and now Shouma was sent flying by a car. They still have their own bodies in one piece. I actually saw that kiss coming. Masako's target was Kanba from the start. The diary may just be a sidedish. And there another kid who goes "Survival Strategy". This anime still continues to interest me. |

| Call me crazy but I would totally ship Masako with Kanba. But this series is kinda a troll. |
| I usually hate kissing in anime, but Masako x Kanba was o.o ... wow. hot. I wouldn't mind if they see raped him for a kiss again as long as this show doesn't make a turn for the Romance side of things. btw Yumekichi do you know/understand Japanese because I've seen that you've been the first person to start threads so soon after the episodes air. |

| ew... what happen to the picture/art quality this week Shouma get food poison for the second time lol Kanba's ex gf ex-wife ..omg the wedding cake >.>" Yuri is the one who took the diary? 0.0'' |

| Argh such a great episode, I love how the theories of the little blonde boy being another Seizon Senryakuer were right on. The entire stylish segment with Kanba gave me a real bad case of the shivers, it was really creepy haha. Cant wait to see the type of fan art japan does of Shoma what with the whole ballgag thing //madly refreshes pixiv// |
| Things I learnt from Penguindrum: Don't eat food given to you by other people. It's probably drugged. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| Wait wat? did i miss an episode cause i dont remeber anything about Natsume and Kenba having a past o.o or maybe i just overlooked it or dont remeber? If someone would enlighten me would be great help XD Anyways nice episode glad to see Shoma up and kicking though sucks soon after he gets into trouble again. And that kiss i was t quiet expecting O.o Hope next episode is awesome like this XD |

MorningGlory said: ew... what happen to the picture/art quality this week I was wondering the same thing. Things look a little off.... |
  |
| So let me get this straight. All the gifts that Kanba hate was all given by Masako at one point. That means she must be a stalker/psychopath ex girlfriend or something. Pretty smart villain beating Kanba and Ringo. |
  |
| shouma seems a drug target xD this was natsume right? for a moment it looked like it was an other unknown character from pingroup side |

| This series just love giving us twice the amount of questions as it does to answer them. That said, this episode was totally unexpected for a few things (1) Ringo actually willing to give up her diary (2) Himari's attitude towards Kanba (something felt off around there) (3) Natsume going for the kiss, and of course (4) Mario, the Seizon Senryaku-er. Can't wait as to what'll happen next episode. From the snippet of dialgue it looks like Ringo gets another 'Destiny' proclamation. Also..

Things look a little off.... yeah, Kanba didn't look normal this time around |

| Fantastic direction and developments as usual. |

| Uh.... might i point out something? it's No.1 that was fishing the panties and being the pervert and all. No.2 was with Shoma all the time. |
| I think Natsume just stalker like Ringo |

Yumekichi11 said: I agree that this episode pretty much proves that Natsume must have some sort of past connection with Kanba. Whether it's a real connection or a vicarious "Ringo"-type connection is still up in the air. I kind of get the feeling that she just stole all those memories from Kanba's previous girlfriends using her Peng-Pong Slingshot. Kenba didn't have any trouble remembering all the gifts he didn't like, the homemade ones: the bento, the cake, and the sweater. I'd think that he'd be able to remember who gave him those gifts if he could recall the gifts so clearly.cookieninja said: In this episode the hall where Shouma passes is to foreshadow that.

If someone would enlighten me would be great help XD Rather, what he couldn't recall was a gift that he liked. Maybe that was because he didn't get any other gifts, any that weren't made with love. But I think that there was a reason for the distorted tune that played when Natsume was trying to get Kenba to remember something as he descended the hospital stairs and crossed the memory halls. A tune from a musicbox that Kanba recognized. And as he started to recall what Natsume's trying to get him to remember, the walls changed: Might be a little bit of a stretch, but it looks like: Edit: So, I think that the important point of this episode was the musicbox. Perhaps it was a gift from Natsume to Kenba, but it's definitely going to come up next episode. And it just occurred to me, but what spins, is drum-shaped, and makes music, but isn't a drum? |

Perhaps it was a gift from Natsume to Kenba, but it's definitely going to come up next episode. And it just occurred to me, but what spins, is drum-shaped, and makes music, but isn't a drum? It says that music evoke memories of something. A time or place and association with a precious activity there. Could Natsume go as far as her first kiss being with Kanba? Certainly it is debatable as to why she destroyed the box afterwards. Could it be back to square 1 jealousy? If that music were to be the musci playing as the first love of Natsume occurs and she has been seeing Kanba with other girls, it could factor in towards jealousy. Why else would she erase their memories? In fact that girl who got shot, was not able to remember Kanba at all? Hmmmmmmm |
| this episode had a very poor art. i hope they improve it next week. As for the episode, im just glad that Shou is okay:) Im Kanba x Himari, so i didnt enjoy the kiss between Kanba x Natsume. Ringo definitely is AWESOME. |

Raven_Shinobi said: I wonder who's Himari knitting that sweater for, she has been working on it since the first episode. I don't think it's for Kanba or else she would have knitted one for Shouma also; it seemed like she was asking Kanba for his opinion as a boy. Mario maybe? I haven't read the manga so don't hit me if I got it all wrong >____> |
 |
| Awesome episode, new survival strategy girl was really cute. Will they quite picking on Shouma? The guy has been through enough. |
| Good to hear one of the remixes being used for the ED. |
 |
| lal PENGUINSTREAM xD the shadow of the one who took the diary looked like yuri, it wasn't natsume o.o MorningGlory said: yeah, i noticed that too o.oYuri is the one who took the diary? 0.0'' there is something really fishy about that.... but later in the subway natsume said she got the diary :/ .... maybe natsume, yuri, tabuki are on the same side '_' |

skymeri said: i must agree, the art made me want to QQ it distracted me so much... it was difficult to focus on the story (i was also looking forward to plenty of hot Kanba scenes this ep... only to be disappointed XD) Indeed. I rarely nitpick about animation, but I felt the same, especially in the first part of the ep. It was kinda hard getting into the story when I was like 'FU-FUDGE! DAT QUALITY! But yeah, with a two-cour anime it's expected for the animation quality to drop down from time to time. Ringo's change of heart was expected, but I do think it was just a bit too much (regardless of the guilt she must have felt), thus it felt kind of awkward. Though I do think the diary is going to appear again. I also think it's very likely that the person who took the diary was Yuri; we all know she's been fishy from the beginning cuz she definitely knows more though she feigns ignorance and innocence. Regarding Kanba x Natsume, I liked the use of that red thread on the sweater, kinda reminds me of the red string of fate. Natsume's reference to Ariadne was interesting since in Greek mythology, she was the one who gave Theseus a ball of red wool so that he could escape from the Minotaur's labyrinth. And later, Theseus abandoned her. Perhaps something similar happened between Kanba and Natsume, or at least that's how she feels. It's not entirely impossible that the two of them met before, perhaps in the child broiler realm (just like Himari and the boy with apple (presumably Mario)) or some similar place. I wonder about the meaning of the musical box because it seems to be important. |

| I dont even know what to say about this episode x.x Red Ball Shooter=Stalker from Kanba's past? *Sigh* Show me next episode |
| for whoever might be interested..the distorted tune actaully was from Antonin Dvoraks Symphonie No. 9 "From the new World", Movement II. Largo |
| Interesting episode. Natsume.... I don't know... :/ Another Seizon Senyaku!? |

SammyG said: for whoever might be interested..the distorted tune actaully was from Antonin Dvoraks Symphonie No. 9 "From the new World", Movement II. Largo That tune really hurts ears. This show is getting more and more interesting. Very wise plot. If erything continues that way, it's a good candidate for the best show of the year. |
SammyG said: for whoever might be interested..the distorted tune actaully was from Antonin Dvoraks Symphonie No. 9 "From the new World", Movement II. Largo Speaking of which, it's used in a crosswalk in Japan signaling "all clear to walk", according to this. It has to have some deeper meaning, I mean you can't use Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 for just anything. Snowley said: That tune really hurts ears. Played in that way, yes, yes it does. |
| FUCKING SAKUGA HOKAI EVERYWHERE GRRRRRR This is my first proper encounter with Kenji Gotoh's animation (he did most things for this episode, including IIRC all key animation) and it was not a positive experience. Good stuff plotwise but good lord character models etc. went to hell here |
| I had a feeling Natsume had wanted Kanba from the start, I mean if you didn't see that coming then well.... maybe you're a little dense, I mean why else would she target his Ex's. I knew from the start when Kanba started listing what he hated that it was probably Natsume that did it, so when the bento came out the first door I was like.... yuuup next will be a cake with wedding theme and then a hand made sweater, damn though her penguin also wants his penguin! Shouma and Ringo.... they seem to get along better now, Ringo's concern seems quite nice. I believe either project M is exactly what Ringo wanted and it works for anyone towards their true desired, or their destined person, or we have no idea what Project M is, and it's just trying to confuse us! I felt sorry for Kanba's penguin, I mean old granny panties, then having to go through Kanba's little ordeal and then getting wrapped up in thread by a handmade sweater then assaulted by Esmerelda.... poor little thing. I don't think Ringo is giving up on her plan though, I think she'll be aiming to get her diary back, also I think that the focus will start being on Kanba, still Natsume.... I think you may be a crazy Yandere.... stop copying RINGO :P Good episode, can't wait til next week |
 Sky High - The True King of Heroes |
| So in the past Kanba was given those presents from Masako which Kanba stated earlier that he would hate to receive them as a gift. Probably because they would remind him of Masako. Masako wants to lock Kanba up and love him every night. She's a stage five clinger. Well with Ringo normalised this show now has a spot open for crazy stalker. What interests me though is that while Kanba was being lead down the stairs someone else contacted Ringo and collected the diary. So if Masako was in the Basement....who collected the diary? |
 "I always take life with a grain of salt, ...plus a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila." |
| I will admit that Ringo kinda redeemed herself (Even tho she gave away the diary). BUT WOW MIND FUCK EPISODE AND Guess starring  When mario appeared I thought it was Himari trying to get revenge that would have been EPIC!! Yuumihara said: BUT WILL SHE RAPE KANBA?!?! Signs point to YESI think Natsume just stalker like Ringo |

Signs point to YESI think Natsume just stalker like Ringo Mario vs Himari, the biggest mother f**king showdown ever.... but seriously it took me a few seconds to realise it was a different person, they have the same voice, meaning I think it's actually the same thing possessing both Himari and Mario, and the hat is trying to do something that may wipe out the other, maybe he too is special like Himari and can go to that wierd psychadelic library and thus it's bad.... since two people can go there, and only one should be allowed soooo.... FIGHT! Rape iminent... I so want Ringo to walk in and then try to stop it because that would be so hypocritical if she started saying things about Natsume xD Rape for the world revolution!!!!!!! Poor Kanba, Its sad to say but You gonna get raped, Shouma it's up to you! |

| wow. lots of rape in this show. penguin rape too?? penguins were epic this week. i really wanted himari to go get revenge. damn. shes still useles.. :( |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Mario.. wat. Maybe it's just me, but Kanba and Ringo's faces in particular look very different this episode. >_> Don't really like it. Anyway, yay for the new version of the ED song. |
 |
| I loved the art design of the hospital during the scene where Kanba's searching for Shoma O_O Aslo while I did notice that there was something odd with the faces this episode it surprisingly didn't bother me at all as it didn't look too ugly to me. After this episode I grow to like Ringo much more, her sense of guilt felt really genuine. I'm wondering for whom Himari is knitting the scarf since I doubt it's for Kamba... |
