Once again I'm going to have to rewatch it because we just opened a whole new can of worms; I'm starting to wonder how this is going to resolve in only five episodes.

When all of Penguindrum is finished airing (should be around end-of-the-year holidays), I'm going to see if I can't organize some kind of marathon run over a week-- maybe four episodes each day for six days, depending on how different the time zones are-- and watch it straight through from beginning to end. Bring snacks and straitjackets.

I'd definitely support this. EDIT: Given that I'm going home for the holidays and have various family events to attend, I might not be available for this until January.

Today's PenguinDrum is absolutely heart-breaking, in that it partially addresses the main criticism people have with the anime;

Caught up with Penguindrum, since I had some issues that kept me from watching it on ~*Penguindrum Thursday*~

Spoiler:

And holy wow, things are resolving themselves quickly. o.o Still, I can't bring myself to believe there's only two episodes left; there's still far too much left to cover. Unless of course, Ikuhara plans to leave all this stuff up the audience. >_<

This resonates throughout the entire series,

Spoiler:

. This sort of destructive 'love', which is probably close to what Momoka stands for, must seem very amusing to Sanetoshi who claims that there is nothing of value in love except kisses. In general, they all seem to be hurtling their way to self-destruction, through the cruel twists of past commitments and fate which bind them together. Hopefully the noble sentiments of the characters will manifest themselves into some happier ending than what is occurring now.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #108 on:** December 22, 2011, 09:41:51 AM »

Dawn of the last day
22 hours remain.

Seizon's greetings!

SO THE PENGUINDRUM FINALE IS TODAY.
I HOPE EVERYONE IS AS EXCITED AS I AM.

Additionally, I hope everyone is also listening to the Triple H Mawaru Penguindrum Character Song Album like I am! It is Fabulous Max to the core. It's got the full version of Rock Over Japan, for starters~

And also, while this in no way replaces the marathon I have planned from post-Christmas to pre-New Years', I have had the fortune of finding that someone else has had an equally awesome idea! For people who have nothing to do tomorrow and want to blow their minds out with the force of a thousand washing machines at once (or just GET HYPE GET HYPE), I present the Complete Mawaru Penguindrum Marathon Livestream December 23rd @ 9:00AM MST. More information here if you would like to join in!

I can think of no better reason to get up at 8:00 in the morning on vacation than to blow my brains to smithereens.

I really can't express myself right now. Floodgates are open, I'm covered in tears. This was just, man. Marathoning the last five episodes probably wasn't the smartest idea, this is just too much for me to handle. It's been an electrifying ride.

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #117 on:** December 26, 2011, 11:41:13 PM »

Gah, being sick over the past few days has caused me to neglect a few things.

Now, to gauge interest. Who is interested in a Penguindrum marathon over the course of this week? 24 episodes lends itself to 5 days with 5 episodes (the last day having 4), 6 days with 4 episodes, or 4 days with 6 episodes. All of these have different day commitments and time commitments, so I will put it up to scrutiny along with a test of interest.

nintendonut888 · « **Reply #118 on:** December 26, 2011, 11:52:35 PM »

I vouch for six days with four episodes. Keeping in mind the inevitable chatter that would follow each one, this would bring upwards of two and a half hours per day, which is enough time to keep the energy flowing without us getting tired.

Naturally, I'm in no matter what we choose.

I'll bring the straitjackets.

EDIT: Gah, I kinda wish I hadn't posted so soon. Now nobody will see the advertisement! D:

Tamer Anode/Cathode · « **Reply #119 on:** December 27, 2011, 12:07:14 AM »

I'm fine with whatever you choose. I'd love to come along, if you're able to accommodate me. Just a heads up that I won't be available for New Year's Eve due to attending a major family event, so I don't know if that affects plans any.
