Synopsis
Three siblings, twins Kanba and Shouma, and the in-and-out-of-the-hospital Himari who's in poor health, live together at the Takakura home. One day, when the siblings are out on a trip to the aquarium, Himari collapses. The doctors state that nothing can be done for her anymore, but then, a miracle occurs...
Is anyone watching this? It feels like the Star Driver of this season to me. It's only the second episode, but I think I'll like this one.

I really like this anime, i believe more ppl should watch it!
8 Name: Mael !hefBVEyOUs : 2011-08-07 20:18 ID:EWvVeJKd [Del]
To be honest I wouldn't have watched this show if it wasn't for Irk and Sad, I'm glad I started it but I'm sad that i have to wait...19...fucking...weeks.

Wtf, they added an Elfen Lied reference in this show o.O

AnoHana was really cute, i liked it ^^ But it was also sad at times... I thought it was unfair that everyone couldn't see Menma. T-T I found the show and kept up with the release dates for the episodes and was dissappointed when it ended with only 11. :( But I guess that just makes it easier to watch over and over again! It's kinda like a story book. :)

for realsies? :O oh....OH NVM. i thought this was an old anime fer a secundo @_@
19 Name: bang-bang : 2011-11-03 14:22 ID:RPxtFa8P [Del]
Bumping because this is interesting and it's been buried for a while.
Penguindrum is a fabulous anime. There are also copious amounts of weird stuff going on. It's lovely.
20 Name: Connman234 : 2011-11-03 15:32 ID:mksnnXRc [Del]
Definitely a good show, no doubts there. I really do like the mind-F*@! aspects of it. Everytime I get one answer, two more questions arise, and so on. I MISS THAT IN ANIME!
21 Name: Bereisgreat : 2011-11-04 09:57 ID:MYK9ycBS [Del]
Penguindrum is weird. Seriously weird, but genius. It's pretty hard to understand, but all in all, it's a pretty good series. You should watch it if you enjoyed anime like Durarara!!
22 Name: Baka ni Baka : 2011-11-05 21:00 ID:HnRHv/3g (Image: 480x360 jpg, 52 kb) [Del]
LOVE THIS ANIME
23 Name: Hikarin : 2011-12-01 18:56 ID:m/TBqKAO [Del]
Satenoshi is a fucking troll.
That's all I have to say.
(apart from all the crazy theories trying to understand what is the penguindrum or why the hell Momoka had that diary, etc)
This anime is so ... I don't know is I say awesome or crazy, but anyway, that it even quotes Schrondinger's cat!!!
I mean...it's Schrondinger's cat! and... penguins...
24 Name: Connman234 : 2011-12-01 19:16 ID:51TzrUuv [Del]
Love this show. Every episode answers one question I had, then make sooo many more. Can't wait to see how they will end the show at Ep. 24.

I just realized this series's last episode will be out around Christmas Eve. Why. I won't be able to watch it until almost a week later.
This is so not fabulous max.
27 Name: Mael !DoMiNUIT9I : 2011-12-04 15:58 ID:Ny17cmru [Del]
I've been putting this off for a while since I wanted to wait till it was finished airing... I'm glad its finally almost done..
28 Name: Shuriachi : 2011-12-05 14:26 ID:Sow1AxUc [Del]
Ive watched this show an entire Saturday. I must say Im impressed. Its amazing. I dont want it to end soon. But I know its going to D:

This man. Ffffff-
This show.
After I'm finished with this (and after my brain rests a little) I'm definitely thinking of giving Ikuhara's Utena a try too. It's Penguindrum's spiritual predecessor so it can't be anything than great too.
30 Name: CharlieNatch : 2011-12-28 08:31 ID:q4NYWMUb [Del]
This anime wins so hard!!!!
31 Name: Connman234 : 2011-12-28 10:43 ID:ggwLXGDa [Del]
I like how in a strange mind-F@*!ed way they wrapped up every loose end. It was a great show through and through and thoroughly enjoyed it.
32 Name: bang-bang : 2012-09-26 14:49 ID:SnYhkzud [Del]
DESTINY~ bump
More people should watch Penguindrum. It's like a fairy tale with a lot of symbolism on top of symbolism and mind screw. It's a bit whacky, but very interesting.
33 Name: Pillow : 2012-09-26 18:18 ID:SmrWXkAn [Del]
this was crazy, but i loved it. definately recommend it to anyone who wants something a little different
34 Name: darklight : 2012-10-18 14:03 ID:+rLLNGKG [Del]
bumping because I was wondering whether someone could give examples of similar animes or what kind of genre of anime this is. I am interested but I just get so dumbfounded by what the characters do *SPOILER* (stalking and breaking into someones house)
35 Name: C.Alastair : 2012-10-18 22:45 ID:ISCk7wHy [Del]
>>34Hm.. If you want something similar, the closest you'll get will definitely be Revolutionary Girl Utena, which was also created by Kunihiko Ikuhara.
If you want anime that have a similar unique flair to them, I'd recommend anime by the studio SHAFT. Such works include Bakemonogatari, ef-A Tale of Memories, Arakawa Under the Bridge, etc. But other than those, nothing really comes to mind.
Also, anyone hear about the PenguinBear project coming up? Any speculation?
36 Name: Atsuko : 2012-10-19 09:11 ID:GryvYTBj [Del]
I'm quiet confuse with the storyline lastly.. There were just too many flashbacks..
37 Name: Celestial Envoy : 2012-10-19 14:51 ID:f9M1csI6 [Del]
This anime was BORING! The twists were not that interesting, 30% of the anime was annoying (I blame Ringo-Chan for that), the ending was cool but honestly not worth watching all 24 or 26 episodes of it.
38 Name: bang-bang : 2012-10-19 15:19 ID:SnYhkzud [Del]
>>36 There's
a nice apple chart that explains some things. There was another version of it, with a different interpretation of the ending where Shouma and Kanba weren't alive, but I can't find it.
And a lot of discussion happened around the series on
blogs and stuff when it first aired, so that can help too.
