A teaser website for Director Ikuhara Kunihiko's new project "Penguinbear" was launched on August 10th. The line on the website reads "Find it out without mingling with the transparent storm."

Penguinbear Project official website

A relationship between the new project and Mawaru Penguindrum is implied in the source code of the website.

It'll probably be more of a spinoff since Penguindrum had a pretty definitive end with the Takakura siblings. I'm surprised this project (assuming it's an anime) even got greenlit, but I'm always happy to know that Ikuhara's up to something.

I seriously wonder what this is going to be about. Destiny or fate perhaps.

Sounds great, curious to know what this'll be about. Does this mean we'll be seeing bears now?

Please stop directing.
The legal age of consent in Japan is 13, so shota is totally legal in Japan. In some western countries shota might be considered child porn.

As I said earlier today to someone who shows me this link,there is a mistake:

You see, the name of the website also appear on the top (the tab) and there, it's spelled: PENGIUNBEAR Project. Would the staff really be that careless (yes, I know they are japanese)? So, I suspect it's a fake.

BUT if it's ever real, of course I would be happy about it! I can't wait for more Ikuhara's trolls.

Wow! I didn't see that coming XD

I'm a huge fan of Ikuhara's storytelling, artistry, direction and everything he dishes out in general. This news really made my day.

The ending of Penguindrum was beautiful and poignant, so I'm not sure if I want this to be a direct sequel. Can't wait for more info.

What the fuck!? Ikuhara actually doing something so soon??

Looks like it will be a spin-off of Peguindrum. Perhaps someone else will have a diary like Momoka and bears will replace the penguins?

Wonder if it will be a movie or another series. Either way, I'm excited!

WOAH WOAH WOAH. Penguindrum relations probably?



Hellz yeah!!
I do wonder what it would be about though. The penguin symbol on the website is totally different from our regular penguins, so i'm guessing it's a new story, or a spin-off of one of the minor characters.

Hope it's a spin-off. Mawaru Penguindrum ended really well. A sequel would very likely ruin that.

Also, "Penguinbear" doesn't have the same ring as "Penguindrum" to me. And it puts a weird image in my head.

So I heard of it here:
http://www.penguinbear.com/
looks like a sequel to maybe what happens after those events? Remember the Goddess never died nor that other person really.

Ok... I'm curious. But I don't understand how a sequel would work.

Unless it's a prequel focused on the parents maybe?
