| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Shouma and Kanba try to looking for Penguindrum Try to followed around that girl that looks like Yandere. Nothing special about this and I don't really get the plot. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| Penguin cam = instant win. |
| ...wat |
| kanba's penguin is a panty sniffer. |
 |
| Woah that apple chick is creepy... |
| What a great episode. Was about to say this wasn't as strong as the first episode, but I was still enjoying it with seeing how useless those penguins are and how the flow of the episode is going. From how people interact with each other etc. One of them is seriously a panty sniffer. xD Then came the end of the episode where they gave me some plot mode and it was great to see. Beginning to think I like where this going now. |
 |
| This was pretty bad compared to the first episode, and I found myself watching the timer on the media player to see how long til it was over. If it doesn't redeem itself next week I'll probably drop this and lighten the Thursday load a bit. |
| This was another totally brilliant episode! It appears that we have a very black comedy on our hands here. It's interesting, the penguin hat was less confident this time. Maybe there is more of Himari in it than we first thought. BTW - I'm betting that the red-haired and blue-haired dancers in the ending animation are the brothers. This series looks to be the best of the season!!! |
| This episode reminded me of the hilariously awful, yet fun to watch surfing elephant and magical curry episodes from Utena. Even when Ikuhara does pointless nonsense in a show he comes up with something entertaining nonetheless. |
| Ok™ |
| The show is starting out pretty slowly but I'm still getting the vibes that bigger things are to come, a la Durarara!! But I'm confident that unlike Durarara!!, it won't just amount to something as underwhelming. Also, we got more of the penguins this episode which is exactly what I wanted. Must. Get. Plushie. |
| That girl looks yandere for sure. I think that the penguin drum is her phone key chain. I think it was a penguin. |
 |
| I found this episode to be pretty hilarious. Seems like Ringo's diary might be the penguindrum? It seems to have penguins written all over it and she mentioned destiny and fate alot so perhaps it is able to predict the future??? nomnomnom |

| Love those penguins, still waiting on something substantial to happen though. |
| Admittedly, this episode was not as great and heavy as the first episode, but for some reason I still really liked it. I found the penguins to be really amusing and nonsensically hilarious. Stalker girl sure is creepy, going to such lengths . So far, this is my favourite anime of the summer season, even though I have no idea how it's gonna turn out (or perhaps precisely because of that). |
 |
| She poo'd stars. I was quite amused watching this. I was also excited to hear Ishida Akira. He is totally worth stalking :D Even after her building climbing stunt, I wasn't prepared for that level of crazy from her.. I look forward to that blowing up. |
| So first ep ends on Incest and the second ends on crazy stalker...I'm liking this trend. |
| Ishida Akira as a bird lover... HNGHHHHHHHH |
| luv that teacher and that stalker girl ahahaha. those penguins are so cuteee i laughed out loud whhen he was eating the shrimp tempura out of that girls bento. the penguindrum is obviously the diary. its shown in the first part of the opening after all. also, it appeared to lay out fate for that girl to play out. himari, shoma and kanbas situation is all about changing fate so i think it makes sense. some how. kind of. i love this series so far. the art is beautiful and dat transfomration sequence weee. its like ginga bishounen but 10000000000000x better!! |

| Good combination of comedy, mystery and randomness. Seriously, that penguin hat transformation is so random... but awesome. Looks like a keeper, as long as they don't stray into weird incestuous brother love. |
 |
| This was a pretty amusing episode, especially with the stalker chick.....man she is creepy. But still awesome. |
| It's as if the entire budget went into that transformation scene. |
| Dude, stalkers everywhere in this episode. Kanba's penguin being a pervert was both... unexpected and to be expected at the same time. Even though that doesn't even make sense. The plot is pretty confusing so far, but I'm liking it. I wonder what kind of creepiness we shall experience next week ;) |
| It's... a sparkling toilet. Wow. And like, really, I have no idea what's going on. But heck, penguins. Penguins everywhere. What's not to like? Seriously, them penguins are so full of win. I would gladly be bossed around by a penguin hat if I could have those three penguins running around with me everywhere. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| This is getting interesting. >:] |
     |
| Sexy Penguins oh bby Also the yandere vibes with that girl are strong. YES. |
   |
| So was that an actual future diary at the end and shit is about to get all Mirai Nikki? |
| ....this show is getting better and better. If it keeps it up it'll get a 10 from me. |
 |
| Stars coming out of the toilet. Penguin cam. Fool, those holes lead to the cosmos. Hentai Kamen penguin. Stalker Chain. Stalker Girl. Win. |

If it keeps it up it'll get a 10 from me. flip this enthusiasm into reverse, and you got my opinion on the series as of now xP only redeeming aspect so far is the penguins... oh and the video that plays on the train about littering and perverts |
| Not too sure about this series just yet but. . . .The best part of the episode: Ringo is a stalker! |
| So now we have a stalker girl too? She seems like the most interesting character so far, and the first indication that maybe, just maybe, that at least the side characters can live up to their Utena equivalents. Of course, any bishounen sensei who is into birdwatching is automatically awesome in my book, but still? Also Kenji Miyazawa gets name-dropped. Give me more of this, please, and stop teasing us, Ikuhara. EDIT: Did I mention that the blonde girl in the OP gets a cameo alongside the penguin girls in the magazine that Himari was reading when the teacher rang? |

| I really enjoyed that twist. I hope we get more like this. |

selective_yellow said: Woah that apple chick is creepy... LOL. Penguindrum is probably the diary? Since the future is written there |
 |
| LOOOOL!!!! the stalkers being stalked!! :p |
| Fuak that was so good. So good. This is good. Fuak! So the Penguin Drum is that stamp that allows you to decide on fate? Or is the diary a diary that has fate written in it? If this shows goes on to be as good as these first two episodes, might be hitting my top 3-5. EDIT: So far, my favorite this season alongside Usagi Drop. |

m4rc0 said: its shit stench ,not star Stars coming out of the toilet. They re-use the transformation scene from last week....lol from last episode I heard something bout not believing in destiny and in this episode they are stalking some girl that believing in destiny .I think the spinning drum is to change the way of thinking of Kanba. Kanba is the only one that doesn't fall. believing on destiny= spinning drum spin spin spin and can't get out from the cruel truth of destiny +1 walking on the dangerous part to take picture on bird nest in the name of love Well, nice episode but I wan next episode NOW >_< |

| Wt..? So fucking unbelievable! Fantastic, perfect! |
 |
| Kanba is one hell of main character! |
| Them penguins. And that reused transformation scene. So much win. Though I still have no idea what's going to happen. Whatever, it's fun. |
 |
| so funny ....all the scenes with the penguins....they are so cute and i don't think the show is so random, if this is random what are you gonna call Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei? it's just that we don't know the plot yet, but we'll have to be patience. the show it's awesome, can't wait for more. |
| I was going to drop this show after the first episode. So glad I decided to give it another chance. It's so creepy but interesting :) will NOT drop....unless it becomes more about naked women than random penguin madness. |
| 夜露死苦 http://mochichandiscoversjapan.wordpress.com/ Visit my Japan adventures' blog. =3 |
| Hahaha, episode 2 was awesome. The penguins are so cool, especially #2. This was the most most surprising show of the season (at least for me). The only thing I didn't like was the reused transformation sequence (mostly how long it was). |
 |
| best anime series of the year already Dem penguings |
| First seconds of this ep already gave us some fabulous stars in the toilet bowl. lol Those Pengui- PENGWINS are hilarious. ROFL |
