----------------------------------------
God's latest project: An animal that inspires maternal instinct a.k.a love. When the designs are left to either Meido or Kimura, whatever animals both can concoct or have ideas fed to are definitely in the extreme spectrum of the weirdest. Still though, animals depicted like families and friends, that's a yes, but the way that Kimura and Meido framed it was hilariously OFF. Kimura sticking to the crabs, but Meido creating rhizocephala...OK, still part of the barnacle family. Love is NOT confinement FYI!

HEH, Unabara vs. Kimura for a talk-show like design competition for a bird that lives on an island of ice a.k.a penguin. As expected, there are differences between both penguins in design and aesthetics, created as per the personalities and preferences of the designers themselves. But oh well, a draw of a win for both the King and Emperor penguins.

Wait, hold on...English ED??? Well it's the Technoboys Pulcraft Green-Fund version, so...by my request, it's ACCEPTED!

An animal that activates the motherly instinct or LOVE.
I wonder if God really enjoys watching them do those projects. That bear visualization was hilarious. And the resulting creature is something that I haven't seen before. Wow.
The second half was funny as well. The reality show for how to design a penguin so it can survive in the winter.

Shimoda is actually an extrovert but since he's new employee he can't show off much, but now he's ready to show off!

Parasites are truly nightmarish creatures.

Same, it was a nice alternative version but the original ending song sounds better to me.

Interesting episode as always. The designs were really unique making it hard to predict the outcome. The first part where they wanted to created such an animal that tickles the maternal instinct, even if its a male gender. The available designer was the one whose least-suited to the quest, ofc by Shimoda-kun perspective. But the result, surely unexpected, and really suited well with her taste. Yep, the barnacle boys type of animal, the parasitic crustacean which remembered most of her creation at the beginning of the series. To think that the parasites manipulated the host into tickling their own instincts. Lmao, its as creepy as their reality in the true nature world.

The second part was the penguin contest. The new way to educated me how penguin survived into such an extreme cold. The ironic part where Kimura did the simple opposite ideas from Unabara looked simply hilarious. However, the result simply unexpected, and Kimura design truly an innovative way to introduced another species of penguin. Well despite some hilarious ideas such as long-legged (the fact that pengu actually had that, but squat, truly enlightened me) and thorny chick pengu design, everything just way too outstanding.

Good job, you both, and for the first part designer too. Tehee.

It was pretty fun at the beginning with the explications on how the parents act, but the best was the contest to create penguin at the end, sure there are a lot of different species for it, and I didn't know that their legs were folded xD also that english ending... it's probably even better like that, nice

Pretty good episode, the moment the "activate maternal instincts" project went to Meido I knew it's gonna be some fucked up shit lmao and she got help from Kimura... more fucked up shit we go. Cool that the Rhizocephala is actually related to crustaceans, though is it actually edible lmao, or Kimura just eats anything.

The game show was pretty great. Ahh yes, long legged penguins lmao, was pretty shocked when that penguin with a monstrosity of a tongue was accepted, though it became smaller which is how real penguins tongue are. Penguins are always cool though. That ED surprised me, was actually pretty good even though I didn't understand shit lmao.

Lost the exact count but there were like 35ish translation sins this week. It's extra bad this week since not only did they have two of the names on screen in English text during the penguin showdown but all of them are listed in English during the credits.

Great episode other that that though.

Bwahaha the ED is on english version! that was a pleasant surprise!
another weird species: Rhizocephala are parasites to crabs! Eugene H. Krabs probably won't like this!
5/5.

I didn't expect to enjoy this show that much and I'm so glad that I continued watching despite the pretty low score. Great episode!!!
Also, the penguin kinda reminded me of Punpun.

Truly a creature that makes your maternal instincts tickle, great job by the people 'best fit' for the job: Kimura and Meido.

The Penguin with the long legs design of Kimura would be absolutely terrifying

Didn't expect the penguin to have so many odd features. I didn't know the penguin had differently shaped eyes. Then again I've never seen a penguin up close, only behind glass. I heard they smell pretty bad so I thought they'd excrete salt through their droppings. Maybe some do.
