Just popping in to ask the name of the show with the penguin that I keep seeing in people's avatars.

Much thanks. Regardless of the writing quality I'm interested in looking into it from an animation and visual comedy perspective.Infinite Justice said:

I wish Penguindrum was all about the Penguins. Would be such a better show.
Kamisama Memo 08
Dear lord that was a ton of bromance, not complaining because I love my bromance! The twist was hardly a shocker since the reveal happened 2 (or was it 3) episodes ago. That arc was just painfully way too long.

What's with OP singers and cameos these days?
Kinda run of the mill episode. The show has settled into a nice slice of life pattern and no matter what people say, I enjoy it quite a bit. Kouki's still a little shit and the episode sorta answers what if Daikichi and Rin had a real family. Still really heartwarming. I could stand for another cour of this but alas, only 2 episodes to go. I wonder how they'll end this considering it doesn't seem like they're gearing up for anything, really.

I really liked it. One of ADV Films' spawns needs to release it on Blu-ray.Dynedom said:I guess I'm the only one who really enjoyed RahXephon.
edit: Not in any ironic/turn-off-your-brain way either...
Hell yeah. Does character development even exist in Utena?Regulus Tera said:

Show is still terrible. Glad to see Rock Girl back though, I'm shipping for her.
Feel bad for Kagami though. Guy gets the most useless mecha equipment ever and all he wants to do is serve a girl who doesn't give a crap about him. Should have stayed in school kid.

I've only noticed it for Utena herself, everyone else just exists in their own whirlpool of repressed angst directed into revolutionising the world to compensate for their personal deficiencies. That doesn't make Nanami any less awesome!

The designs and animation is ass, the engrish is shitty, broken and used too often, there's too many scenes where a character just stares off to space I mean COME ON if you're struggling to fill the allottted 20 minutes for an episode don't make me stare at someone whose staring at someone/thing for a whole minute or two with no reaction, which by the way can only convey someone whose in shock by making them drop the edible item they are currently holding, don't get me started on the main guy's stupidity around girls, goddamnit she kissed you because SHE LIKES YOU *facepalm*.
I don't even know why I'm still watching this, seeing the main character progress through the show seems to be enough for me I suppose.

Brofist reapplied.
Show is Ringo / Penguins or bust for me thus far. I've already vented my frustrations with the past couple episodes. Hopefully this week's edition gets back on track as this is a show I actually want to like.

Not sure what the consensus on Kouki is on the board but I've liked him from day one. He might be one of the characters to watch as this series develops (stfu manga followers and your spoilers). Any episode with his mom is also a plus.
There weren't really a lot of HNGGH moments in this episode either but I still enjoyed it.

I wanna find out what kind underhanded shenanigans he's been up these last few episodes.
Do we know exactly how he got that money in the subway tram? I recall his uncle telling him that he may lose the house but I don't recall what Kanba said he was going to do about it.
I'm getting somewhat bored of watching Shouma get pushed around by that psychopath.
