Call me crazy but I would totally ship Masako with Kanba.
Then we are both crazy. Cause me too I am shipping them both right now.
We're all on the same ship then.

Then we must travel together.

Natsume x Kanba... I DIDN'T EVEN THINK about something like that, this is anime is getting very interesting, also, I'm glad Shouma is okay, he got my respect.
And more SURVIVAL STRATEGY.

Edit: It is just me or this episode lacks animation skills?

Whoa. Another great episode.

I guess Masako is Kanba's stalker or ex-gf.

And again, the penguins are delivering the laughs as usual. :D

Lol, at the complaints about the art. You do know it has been hit and miss the entire series...right? Especially from a distance. Anyway, it wasn't even distracting in the least as the episode was very strong. What a series.

The ending was unexpected, but this episode was just... strange. So the villain is just another stalker.

genius, beauty, psychosis; all brought on by love and obsession - this show examines these themes in such a inventive fashion - by this episode i really feel more and more of ringo's sorrow - m.p.d. seems to be about the tragedy that too much love can bring into one's life, but oh the ecstasy of feeling - was it worth it? p.s. - love the pantsu thief penguin!!!

Ahhhhhh, I adore Shoma. I can't believe Himari is the protagonist, cause she barely appears in the series -as long as I've watched until now.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this Mario x_x
I hope the series doesn't go downhill after his appearance.

Anyway, the Himari x Kanba scene was cute... Natsume x Kanba, not so much...
Actually I hated the scene and I can safely say that I don't like this Natsume character. :/

Anyway, the art was crappy. This one was probably the worst episode so far. 3/5.

Get to see Shouma and his elegant, barrel roll when he got hit by the car. Lawl.

Are they really siblings? Lol. Seems like Himari might have something for Kanba, too.

Shouma's luck really sucks lol; he's been drugged two days in a row. Lol, panty fishing.

Kanba got sent flying back when a box gets destroyed in front of him...? Ok...

She wanted a kiss? Lulz.

What the fuck, it's the kid that also wore the black penguain hat when Himari died.

Ringo finally snapped out of her "Fated Frenzy" yandere mode. That makes her more bearable... now if only she'd drop the philosophy too... it'd be nice to see her turn over a new leaf and actually live as Ringo Oginome, not the scheming stalker who was living a substitute life for the deceased Momoka Oginome. She nearly raped an older man and schemed to become a single mother at the height of her madness.

Now things make sense. The Mario dude must be in the same situation as Himari and Masako in the same situation as the brothers. The diary must be destiny itself...

That kiss...But somehow it feels like Himari and Kanba are into each other and Masako will be denied.

And dropped.
The general concept had potential, however the execution needs melioration and not small amount of it.

It's not, bad, but it's not very good either.
Might eventually pick it up again, as I don't enjoy dropping animes.

You know I've always wondered: do men really hate receiving handmade gifts from women or does this happen only in anime? Are hand-knitted sweaters really that abhorrent (I understand having your name knitted on it is embarrassing)?

Hmmm so the mystery thickens.

It seems pretty obvious that Natsume is a former girlfriend or a stalker at the same level as Ringo. Kanba talked about all these gifts he received and hated in the past and I'm assuming these said gifts are ones Natsume gave to him. She even presented said gifts to Kanba when he was trying to find Shouma. Also the kissing is a big factor.

This is probably overthinking it but each level Kanba went down was level 3, 2 and 1 with Kanba having penguin 1, his brother penguin 2 and his sister level 3? So either the Food represents Himari, the cake his brother and the heart sweater Kanba or.... I'm just over thinking it.

Honestly Shouma is an angel and doesn't deserve half of the shit he's been through.

So is the slingshot lady looking for the diary for the same reason the brothers are?

at first i thought natsume was one one kanba's exes. and the most psycho one at that, wanting to erase him of every ex mind.
then after reading it here, it kinda makes sense that she's been stealing all these memories from his exes to fulfil some kind of destiny like ringo was kinda doing? maybe the penguindrum drum is not a physical thing, but an implication of fate...
i didn't enjoy this episode as much as i did with the last one, but it left me thinking a lot anyway. on to the next one! o/

Natsume is a smarter version of Ringo. Creepy as hell. i believe she's an ex but trying to reach the destination of fate.

Still an ex thou, all those references to the gifts that she may have given him...

This anime has already forgiven Ringo? Seriously? She is a stalker, and would have been a rapist as well if Shouma hadn't stopped her. Plus, she had been quite abusive to him throughout the story. It makes no sense that Shouma has to be the one to receive the punishment for her.

New station: Nishi-Shinjuku

And a lot of new ships. Natsume x Kanba, Shouma x Ringo and Himari x Kanba... looks like the incest vibe from episode 1 is here again.
Character designs looked a bit different, but nothing too serious. The abstract background art was really well done.

Also, we're formally introduced to Mario. Is he Himari's "destined person" that was mentioned in ep. 9?

This is by far the worst episode.

Just illogical (Kanba's actions in the "trap") and cringe (everything except Penguins ofc).

And yes, it was obvious that the girl is just Kanba-obsessed stalker and maniac..
One Ringo is enough please.

Boring and lazy-written :(

Was it just lack of creativity?
Or plot is turning into some psychedelic-romantic soap opera?

Really disappointed with the show.
