After recently been disappointed by Sarazanmai, I decided to watch Penguindrum and boy it was so much better! I liked the fact it was different in a way and not always in the same format like Sarazanmai was! I really liked the song "Rock Over Japan" which is so damn hard to find the original online except covers lol!!! Anyways I liked the fact this anime was so colourful and the penguins were literally adorable!

I was stunned to find out that Penguindrum was based on a real life sarin gas attack that happened in the mid 1990s and killed 13 people (1 died 14 years later). This event happened in Tokyo and this anime was basing it around the children who were involved in the incident. I was so sad and devastated to hear this.

I so recommend you to watch this anime, it's just so good! The English Dub actors were great too!

Not so fresh off the heels of the brilliant Revolutionary Girl Utena, Kunihiko Ikuhara comes out of hibernation for another strange story with serious implications. Through the fight over a mystical diary that slowly reveals the darker pasts of all involved, Mawaru Penguindrum considers the issue of fate and determinism, as well as questions of family and responsibility.

The show's visual style is fantastic, and if nothing else it's a feast for the eyes. However, there's also a lot of substance here too. A twisting (perhaps even convoluted) plot and a surreal sense of humour keep Mawaru Penguindrum from being a philosophical treatise, but even so it's a show with serious ambitions that are mostly fulfilled, and a series that deserves a lot of thought. It doesn't quite reach the transcendent levels of Utena, but it's still one of the best anime series of the year.

How I got into it: When I first heard about this series from a couple of cos player's at a con dressing up as the characters from it,I had to prove if they say it's the best series to check out. When I watched the show online,they were right,and I really enjoyed it.

When I decided to buy it: When I read about this anime getting released on DVD,and Blu-Ray during the winter in a Magazine,I really wanted to buy it on Blu-Ray,and I did.When I bought the series on Blu-Ray,first collection at Best Buy,and the Second collection at the con,it was like watching it online all over again.

Favorites: I have to say that the series was truly amazing,favorite characters were Himari,and the Double H girls,and their outfits were pretty hot. Of course,I love the music in the show.

Meaning: What this show reminds us all that fate can be very hard,and we must never tempt fate. And we should always be very careful on what we do,and not get into trouble.

But however,I really like this show,and those cos player's who were the characters from the show were right. It's truly the best.
