Penguindrum reminded me of Stardriver a lot because of the whacky music and transformation sequences.
Hot guys and gals, and weird sci-fi-supernatural-ness that the characters all go along with.

Star Driver and Mawaru Penguindrum are opposite sides of the same Utena-inspired coin. Star Driver was written by a writer for Utena (Yoji Enokido), and directed by another Utena writer (Takuya Igarashi), while Penguindrum is directed by Utena's director (Kunihiko Ikuhara). Star Driver has a similar setting, episode structure, and school cult scenario to Utena, but is far more idealistic. Penguindrum has Utena's visual style (at least in terms of character design), similar themes, complexity, crazy plot twists, incest, and red herrings everywhere, but is far less pseudo-Freudian than Utena and Star Driver.
