The Extractors have yet another client: the Sunshine Troupe penguins pengians based in Ikebukuro.

Ikebukuro split into Russian Communist East and normal Japan West, and all it matters is the Saikyo Line: a single railroad crossing that splits the city that's not easy to cross. And thanks Ulala for being the guinea pig to test their situation. The Troupe's leader Mikhail wants to bring his troupe into defect to the West to escape oppression and have freedom of expression, but the Extractors find themselves almost being caught by officers regulating this, leading to Equa's self-surrender while Feles, Martese and Alga escape unscathed.

Problem is, Mikhail's friend Mirpen is with the secret police, and much as he wants to help him, there's no way out of this given his resolve. And this case, the other girls and the Troupe infiltrate the police quarters to get Equa back, and by sheer odds of milliseconds, clears their way inside through Equa's Fatal Luck to predict the future.

At least the Sunshine Troupe is in a better place now, given no censorship.

At least this doesn't feel so average, except for the wonky 3DCG.

Comunist Penguins. yep, this is an anime.

Wished more shows were this goofy and plain fun, rather than being tryhards mixing boring infodumps in a pseudo-complex story with mishmash of comedy (looking at you Genius Prince)

I feel like they use penguin instead of human because they can't bother create a lot of human's 3D model.

My favourite episode so far. Penguin wishing for Freedom of Speech wishes to escape from a place filled with Communist penguins. Such an enjoyable episode. Hope the show keeps this up.

The worldbuilding is still quite good. Tho I do wonder how old Equa exactly is.

What complexity are you exactly referring to exactly?

Communist and capitalist Ikebukuro? But, hah, penguins? Just what i like! No wonder Feles suddenly out of character. Though the problem this time still easy as piece of cake, but now they were using a future prediction power from Equa. Got a little revealing about Equa background too. Even if its still nothing to be considered at all. 300? 17? Or 56700000000? Slappy-slappy punch!

Communist penguins. That's something I haven't seen in anime yet. An entertaining and good episode. I can relate to the penguin's wish to escape that place.

Now I wonder who or what Equa actually is.

First 2 episodes were garbage, but the third episode is actually awesome. Penguins make everything better.

Oh, so that was "complex" for you. Never mind.

I said "pseudo-complex" as in it appears like it's more complex than it actually is.

Oh, got you now. To me, it didn't even appear that complex because of the light-hearted drama here and there.

Two words:

PEDOPHILE. PENGUIN.

Also, Slappy-slap. Oh, but that shot of the truck sailing through the air was pretty awesome. Too bad the character animation can't look that good. 😒

I probably would have enjoyed learning about the Cold War in school more if everyone was replaced with penguins
