doubt it. . . I dont think it was THAT, it was probably something else due to the last scene about her doing something to him

WHAT THE FUCK!?

seriously, what in heaven's name is this shit? had a few giggles. but you're giving this far too much credit.


I'm going to be honest, this is seriously the first time i skipped so much shit expecting awesome stuff only to be fed something that came straight out of someone's drug trip. That wasn't the slightest bit awesome, i think i even burst a few brain cells trying to figure out what i just saw. The mindfuck here makes FLCL pale and shrink in comparison.

I don't explain things to people when they don't make an effort to understand them in the first place.  ;)

Instead, go back and completely rewatch the first episode and pay attention. Ikuhara likes using symbolism and such, a lot.

It was a damn pain even watching just the seemingly awesome parts. no thanks. outta here. the rest of you who liked it enjoy this show.

PS: I couldn't even pay attention due to the sheer mindfuck. this is the most mindfucking show i've ever encountered.

Post by: eclectic on July 12, 2011, 01:50:45 PM
just watched ep 1.

WTF?!

...i like.

has a Bakemonogatari/FLCL feel. i like these absurdantist/experimental type anime (though apparently this isn't for everyone *cough*)

that being said...that last scene needs some, uh, elaboration.

Post by: TiYlER on July 12, 2011, 03:09:20 PM
It was pretty good up until the second half. Then she came back to life because of a penguin hat. It is an interesting base for a story, but it is a little... weird. Then at the end I was confused slightly, because it now seems like a story about incest.

I'll watch all of it once the series finishes, just because I am interested in what "fate" they have.

from what I understood in your previous posts you dont like FLCL. . .and I guess thats the key part :P maybe. . .I dont know I loved FLCL! probably seen it like. . .many times . . . still makes me lol even now.

This one was again (already mentioned) pretty straight forward, your probable "mind-fuck" would be the sudden out-of-nowhere transformation scene (which was actually pretty fun and interesting) but it was more of a "senseless moment, ala-flcl" . . .while mindfuck (IMO) goes more on the lines of tripping you out trying to figure out how to link so many pieces together and finally when you do figure it out and you notice how everything pieces in together you start messing up  :P

Anyways. . .I respect your choice given that you dont like FLCL

I may be very wrong but I do believe they(the penguins) are trying to create a new universe or old.A universe in which they'll be born,begin to exist in their own non-material form or at least the basic idea of being.The key to the creation are the brothers,they are the fathers and their sister is, maybe, the mother.Not physically of course.Again,I may be  very wrong because I didn't fully understand the apple theory.

and the penguin with the bug spray was just complete lulz!

lol wtf... noticed this because i saw that UTW is doing Gods Notebook which i meant to check out. I guess a translator that was going to do that series for GG is doing it for UTW now? Works for me, im not a fan of GG's super liberal and loose translation. Im just not sure if the translator will bring that over to the UTW release, i'll have to see

anyway, i tried to see what this show was about but ADB is blank and theres only 2 groups doing it GG and nutbladder. Looking through this thread didn't seem to help much either =P Just people going back and forth saying it was weird and that it seems to flip the script on something at the end of the first episode? Can anyone actually mention what this show is really about, or would that pretty much be a spoiler in and of itself? I may have to just give it a d.load and see what the deal is. I see people comparing it to FLCL which isn't good. I HATED FLCL. Im down for wacky stuff, but am generally not a fan of Gainax 'wacky'

If no one can actually explain the show without spoilers, then i was just wondering what group most of you went with. Like i said seems only two options. GG who im not a fan of, and Nutbladder who i have not seen anything from. I d.loaded their Arakawa but never watched it. Maybe i'll just go with them since im just trying to see wtf this shows about right now

*edit* hu.. oddly enough i actually dont see this up on Nutbladders site even though its listed as being done by them on ADB. Strange. I do see it on Nya though

for serious. she starts off all sweet and pleasant and then becomes full body shiver inducing.

this episode didn't seem as totally wtf as the prior. and the penguins are funny when they're useless. esp the one with the bug spray.

well sir, TBH I cant really say much, I dont know if you're more into kyrdua's taste or more into mine but I loved it! and he dropped it.

my advise, as with every series is watch the first episode. Hell you can see it streaming in various websites if you're worried about HD space. spend 21 minutes of your day. I recommend


*edit*

given the last scenes from the first episode, I think maybe the penguin drum is:

Post by: kenshin-dono on July 15, 2011, 09:24:06 PM
Hmm, ya it seems this will be one i have to just watch to see what the fuss is about. Seems any more info wouild be spoilerific, its just that the description gives zero info, and the comments i was reading here had a big WTF factor. I just d.loaded the nutblader release and will give it a look. I actually havent seen any of their releases before but theyre probably better than GG at least.

one weird thing: anyone know why  Nutbladder doesn't have this listed on their site? I found the torrent fine but i find it weird its not listed on their page anywhere. Either way i guess i'll give it a look and see if its something i'll wanna keep going on or not

You missed the 'if'? I've only seen one episode in any case, but unless it goes totally out of control my experience says I will like this. And so far there's nothing that really says it will, except the fact that I've only seen one episode.

As for the subs, if you want more literal subs, gg is actually the better choice here.

the "SURVIVAL STRATEGY!" scenes is what reminds me mostly of Utena.

Maybe it was a little vague.  (By MC I'm talking about the blue haired one).

I assumed it was the mc because

(1. He stayed asleep with Himari during the transformation sequence (which was like a dream).

(2. He is the one who was worried about paying a price.

(3. ...he's the mc.

so watched the first 2 epps.. wtf... seriously, wtf? I dont even know what to say, this show makes absolutley no sense. I have NO idea whats going on. usually with crazy stuff like this i at least have some hunches. Here im just lost.

The crazy nonsense is very odd, but i guess i can ride it out to see where theyre going with it. My main gripe is actually the character design. I cant stand the main character. His character design is horrible, it looks WAY too fruity. Seriously, those eyelashes are just lame. Every time he's on screen he just bugs the crap out of me. I think i may keep going and see if i can deal with it but i really can not stand the guys look. Its worse than Clamp character design which i strongly dislike. When i saw him on the ADB page i really thought he was a chick =P

As far as the show itself, like i said: I really dont know whats going on. It doesn't help that i got Nutbladders release which is rather poor. Theres several instances of lines being flat out left out. Including the end of episode 01 at a rather important scene

(click to show/hide)

I did find it funny that ep 01 ended with the cool brother talking about how he doesn't belive in fate, then ep 02 opens up with the stalker talking about how she believes in fate though =P I'll stick with this show a bit longer but im not exactly loving it at the moment. While i dislike GG, im thinking i may give them a look. Nutbladders work on this is very spotty. Too many missing lines, and no OP translation at all for the first epp. To those watching GG, is it pretty decent? I tend to dislike them for their periodic trolls in the past, but mainly i just dislike how loose they play with the translation most of the time. But hell, if they actually translate all the lines thats a step up on NB right now =P I gotta go back and read the spoilers here and see what theories some people are coming up with here

I can guarantee you that by the end you'll be something like "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? IT WAS AWESOME DO IT AGAIN!"

I wouldn't say that. It starts out seemingly the same, but then veers off in quite a different direction, and if you think the series is visually wild, wait 'til you see the movie. Fantastic.





If you're still wondering where the symbolism in Utena is, the director's commentary track in this release (http://bakabt.me/148381-shoujo-kakumei-utena-adolescence-mokushiroku-revolutionary-girl-utena-the-adolescence-of-utena-cor.html) of the movie will be quite enlightening. There, Ikuhara explains some of the things he tried to achieve in various scenes in the movie. It doesn't give away everything, and it doesn't spoil anything (IMO), but you should probably only listen to it after you've seen the movie proper at least once.

Also, best dance scene ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72e0s4pxDG0).

Now you understand why we're expecting so much from Penguindrum?

Episode 4 at the end makes me believe I was right about some heavier drama going on. This is starting to become a bit darker, the setting going on in the background is leaping up front right now. In an ep or two the back story will be on the front competing with the main story.

I think this show may have to be watched twice. There is just so much going on in the animation. And judging by what some of you have written, Kureshii, I am missing sooooo much.

I like the bold colors of this show. It's so brave, and so bold, especially when you watch No. 6 just before this. It's almost like going from watching 2001, and then watching Yellow Submarine.

So really, is

I really like the design.

Giger (http://www.google.com/search?q=h.r.+giger&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=PAc&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&biw=1280&bih=837&prmd=ivnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=7SE-Tqq_D-7UiALm8Z3DBg&sqi=2&ved=0CDUQsAQ) But not scary, or melodramatic. I think Jack Kirby (http://www.google.com/search?q=h.r.+giger&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=PAc&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&biw=1280&bih=837&prmd=ivnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=7SE-Tqq_D-7UiALm8Z3DBg&sqi=2&ved=0CDUQsAQ#hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ppw&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&channel=s&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=jack+kirby&pbx=1&oq=jack+kir&aq=0&aqi=g10&aql=&gs_sm=c&gs_upl=58273l61752l0l63864l17l11l0l0l0l0l174l1102l4.6l11l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=b3adaa88aa9333b1&biw=1280&bih=837) would be pleased.

It's complex and busy, but not overdrawn to where it looks muddy. I don't know why, but the primary colors add so much to this anime for me. Is that because few anime except for mecha use such a bold color palette? To me, this is a visual treat. Eye candy. And when Himari is being possessed, she's kind of eye candy too.

Nothing else has really interested me this season, but this one is pretty good. I really wanna see how it folds out. I just hope it speeds up just a little. Sure, it has 24 episodes, but in the opening we see quite a few characters. If each of them are going to have an arc, this might get hectic at some point, considering how long we've already taken with Ringo (which, this Ringo bit is starting to annoy me).


I think the overarching plot needs to start moving in the next few episodes. All I got out of four was a new faceless villain. About to watch five.


Ah, but the reason I really love this anime is its OP/ED combo. Very few OP/ED combos have made me want to re-watch them on every episode (so far). This is one of the very few.

I have a feeling they will not cover all the material they have in store for us with just the 24 episodes and 2 OVAs/Specials (unconfirmed) so i would opt with second season.

Considering that this is quite popular atm I would not be surprised with the second season.

This show is weird definitely, but in the positive meaning, multiple plots moving around at the same time, it has been so long since the last time I seen a show with this type of development. It's still pretty light so far, but it goes deeper with every episode.

I currently have 4 ava/sig sets projects to finish before 28th, and I am trying to find suitable pictures from this show as well.

But I might have to wait until BDs are complete, i want very high quality renders. Can't find one that suits my standard though.


This show is a must-re-watch.

BTW, I announce my First theory in this show:
1-Himari's hat is just a medium for some (as it seems) Queen of the Penguins.
2-The Black Penguin is some black sheep who stole the Penguin Drum
3-The Slingshot is the Penguin Drum
4-The Black Penguin wants to alter the fate in it's favor.

My theory : the penguin drum isn't a physical thing.  Something has to channel it.  Ringo's diary, because she is trying to alter fate with it seems to have a lot to do with the penguin drum (perhaps it can channel it much like the hat channels whatever possesses Himari).

I just can't help but think Ringo's diary IS her sister's fate, and it got destroyed, somehow.  The shadowy organization probably had something to do with it and Himari's possessor is trying to get fate back on track.

Yea, they were fast.  Banned to the whole world as soon as it was done processing, though I can still view them myself.  Figure some code detecting a video/sound watermark.  The video was interpolated to 60fps and I downconverted the audio with increased bass and stereo separation....and it still banned them right away.  Maybe it's the tv logo  :-\

Well, here it is.  I love this scene and can play it over and over.

FPS are good but there is a slight loss with synch in Audio/Video.

Also, "NADINE" ?

Doh, I accidentally used v1 of GG's subs.  LOL, yea, Imagine makes better sense.

Sorry about the synch.  Had difficulties since the source was VFR and ended up doing it manually.  But realized the audio delays don''t seem to work when set in MP4 containers.  Reuploaded with corrected sync.

I've been rather enjoying GG's leaving the commercials in, when they put an episode out. They don't go on forever like they do here in the US. And they don't break for4 them every 30 seconds. But I am glad that orange breakfast drink isn't being advertised, like it was a while back. lol I so did not want to drink that stuff.

And yeah, I;ll obtain the Blu Rays once you show me the penguin drum.

I just turned my PC on and almost have it DLed.

Awwwwsome
The only thing that worries me is what is happening after he vanishes and that other bro stays and Himari-hat-possessed says "Let's initiate the survival strategy!"
I'm all for incest in anime, but this is kind of like a rape using Himari's body to satisfy it's own needs. I am looking forward to that being cleared up at some point.

This anime is great... though I am not sure yet if it is intended to be mind rape with penguins. The first few episodes feel that way but recently its more structured and plot lines are following through and not just fraying off.

If feels to me, that this episode put us on the cusp. WE are either going down with this show, or it will take us to new heights. It felt very unsettled.

It must be really hard when creating anime, to know you have to do stuff like this, to force situations. Make everything seem like it will all turn to shit. Somehow, I don't think Japanese anime has anything in common with ancient Greek tragedy.

second re-watch of the episode, means 3rd watch.
first time I was busy so I watched it second time, after the talk about the accident we had i re-watched it.
Now I actually understand the ED more. Now, what DID happen to Himari back then huh ?
They didn't say that. This is a very interesting show.
Might even take it for one of the Four Greatest this year.

but then. . .it turned out pretty good

Not quite a recap ep; there are notable differences in the events depicted in ep1 and ep9. One perspective from gg’s pingdrum editor. (http://ninteenpointzerofour.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/penguin-analytics/)
Title: Re: Mawaru Penguindrum
Post by: Havoc10K on September 09, 2011, 07:02:17 PM
I wouldn't call it a recap at all. It did contain a few scenes from the first episodes, but shown directly from Himari's point of view. I liked how she stopped him with the finger though.
Title: Re: Mawaru Penguindrum
Post by: GoGeTa006 on September 09, 2011, 07:48:55 PM
far from beeing a recap. . .altho when she said that "soulmate" thing and that she was going to be someones bride, I couldnt help it but think about the last scene in ep. 01 and then they showed both of her brothers when she said that. . .so . . .

I wouldn't mind incest or non-blood related incest. But it has to be resolved properly, so far nothing is known about their relationship other than the brother is very careful and loving, but the same thing can be said about Sho-kun. Both brothers love Himari very dearly, which is understandable. We don't really know much about who the person is that Himari wants to be her love, the shape didn't give out many details.

We will have to wait and suffer until we know more.

I think so far IF the incest route will occur it will be between Ko and Himari. . .

and the diary "predictions" did most of them come true with Shoma instead of th eprofessor. . . so IMO Ringo prolly noticed she likes shoma already (I hope. . .)

iono if some romance develops I wouldnt mind at all ;D

Post by: Havoc10K on September 16, 2011, 09:34:33 PM
I just for some odd reason don't really want any incest unless we learn everything. That is why I fear what is happening when Sho is flushed down during the Survival Strategy.
Title: Re: Mawaru Penguindrum
Post by: SeventyX7 on September 16, 2011, 10:07:37 PM
The twist I'm expecting is finding out that the alien-Himari is actually Himari just acting.  Like she's using the persona as a way to attain her destiny.

EDIT : More on that...I bet Himari is actually the antagonist as well.  All the penguins have something to do with Himari, so it would make sense of that chick with orange hair and the black penguin also are following her orders.  I bet she is using that person and penguin to remove the love rivals for red-haired brother.

That would be a fun twist.   8)
Title: Re: Mawaru Penguindrum
Post by: Havoc10K on September 17, 2011, 07:46:59 AM
If that was to be true there wouldn't be a need for the flashback of Himari's past.
I'd rather bet the real antagonist would be the blonde that snatched the professor from Ringo.

But tbh I like Himari too much to even care if she is the antagonist or not, i just want everything explained cuz this is a nice mindfuck :)

Meo, I know you live in Japan atm (I think you did mention this) but I wonder if you are a Japanese, if so, you should probably know what happened around 16 years ago in Tokyo. Think it had something to do with Hare Krishna. I think it was around 16 years ago by now.

If I remember correctly it was a Sarin Gas attack in Tokyo Subway, in multiple lines.

This is definitely one of the best shows this year I think.

I dunno if you are sarcastic or not, but since I knew of it in Poland for around 15 years, I highly doubt anyone who is in some way involved (victims and their closest persons) would let it stay silent.

But I am betting that this is the incident mentioned in the show.

The only accident i knew of is that JR train crash at Osaka in 2005, since we often take that type of train we thought Mom was caught up in it. Maybe they glossed over the Sarin Gas attack in one of their reports and i just wasn't paying attention.
Title: Re: Mawaru Penguindrum
Post by: Havoc10K on September 30, 2011, 07:37:25 AM
I don't really know if they really did hush it down, from the Discovery Science program it looked like for the first 5 hours they had no idea what happened during the Sarin Gas attack. Half of the victims were police officers trying to help people out, some were brave enough to take out the bags with the gas in their own hands and locking them securely in containers, I think around 20 police officers died just doing that, and the remainder of the Police officers victims were the ones taking people out of the cars and securing the area. Knowing that Officers were the half of the victims of that attack I don't think Japan government would keep it in cover, Though I think they couldn't do anything about it. They only caught one of the culprits, if I remember right it was actually a voluntary person who submitted himself to the police, he didn't pop his Sarin Gas containers because he was a doctor and decided he will not take lives.

I wonder if this really is the incident spoken in the Anime, but it does fit the description of happening in multiple places.

Also now I am sure there was no Incest but still Himari naked, those brothers will do probably absolutely everything to bring back Himari.
I would, if she was my sister, she is far too nice and good to be a sacrifice.

I also agree that if fate makes us suffer, there is no real point to existing, which makes me sure that all life in the universe is a result of a funny joke or a huge mistake :P

Himari dearly loves both of her brothers. Guys, stop bitching around and find the pinguindrum, then you will win.

Kanba has his ways with women, a simple kiss on sisters lips might not have any romantic feeling but pure sibling love, although in Japanese anime I haven't seen this often, but in some countries a simple kiss is a very common thing.

A couple episodes ago, I thought this show was winding up. But after this last ero-ep. I feel that this has a lot of legs left in it. Whether the legs are spread or not is open to debate.

I am shocked they allowed this on air. Sometimes it seems that anime has an American sense of prudeness. Lots of violence, but no sex, only sexual innuendo, and references. And yeah that scene was not "hot". It wasn't sexy. If you're fapping to this, you need help. But Ringo did look interesting as a macrame art piece.

Pretty sure he was just abusing her.  Using his tools on her like he would on a statue.  She was only naked during that because statues are also naked.

Notice how he commented how Yuri was ugly?  And Yuri no doubt looked like her mother (whos picture he had dented out).  I doubt he'd be able to do anything sexual to her.

Post by: Havoc10K on October 28, 2011, 09:48:11 PM
Due to his service, he can name the terms of the game, though I have the feeling Himari-Alter is well aware and is trying to force a change in his plans, or do something that will cause him to lose his cool. She already shows extensive ability.

I don't know how this game will end because it's seriously hard to predict that far, but I am rooting for Himari's survival, everything else is not important.

He can pull the strings so far, but what if he plays into Himari-alter hands ?


This show keeps better and better, seriously.
One twist after another, I can barely keep up :)

Well, maybe not terrible, but it's not as good as when it first started. Now they're just throwing in plot twists that have no actual point, as of yet.. I bet they would have been able to finish the show in 13 episodes, maybe even 15, just to be different.

Post by: Havoc10K on November 05, 2011, 08:49:43 PM
Hmm, I still don't know what is so bad about it that you would dislike it so.

i mean, plot twists usually follow up to a specified point, and this show obviously named that point several times, so either you are not paying attention or you watch at 3x speed like someone else I know on this forum, or you simply don't understand the plot at all.
Title: Re: Mawaru Penguindrum
Post by: BMXgunnar08 on November 05, 2011, 09:35:06 PM
No, I really understand the plot. It's just that it's so boring and they put in weird things like Yuri being different. What is the point of that? All it does is help connect the fact that she admires Psycho Girl's older sister (forgot her name). Or with the whole fate thing, and Shoma being a huge baby about him and Kan being born which caused the entire dilemma of the story... I don't know, all the anime I have seen so far, I've really enjoyed, but this one is different...

It's not a bad show, but it's just not what I liked when it first started..

Penguins.

Kanba and killer red head never did.
She was constantly trying to get his attention and force him from Himari's side.

I think it's better for Sho not to take any more part in the events because they will make him incredibly sad. Himari doesn't care anymore, and also, the crystal princess didn't show in a while. Notice that at the end Himari doesn't have the hat as well.

My guess is that the only way to save Himari is stopping that organization. Shouma will have to do something epic later on I think and something incredible will happen. But that's just my guess.

So far I gotten to ep7... where I briefly stopped, to greatly confirm that this show is extremely messed up.

Contention? Possibly. I don't think it will be the eventual winner. But it is a top show. Dunno about popularity in Japan....

I think it is deeply disturbing to even consider that you can just give up on your family.

THe show has gone so far afield from its' beginnings, that I wonder if they will be able to wrap things up with a cute little bow at the end. I thought we were going for closure about 6 episodes or mroe back, but then we just went that-a-way! And haven't looked back once, yet. It's been a real ride.

It's on the 24 end, quick googling won't tell me exactly how many but 23 is the latest to come out, I'd guess another few (26 max)

EDIT: From what I've seen on Reddit, there are 24 episodes.
Yet, in the transition train station animation, there are 25 stations (http://i.imgur.com/pFnE5.jpg)

Checking around, I found that it'll be 24 episodes, but it'll blow my mind if they manage to wrap everything up next week. I hope that the 25th station actually is a conclusion if they don't manage to tie everything up in the 24th.

Still, no happy ending?  BOOOOOOO!

The ending, blew my mind outta my mind~
The ending was fucking amazing.  Not just what was happening and it's connections to other things in the series or its symbolism, but just the sheer art quality and style made it a spectacle to behold.  I'd say it was more interesting style than Ef.  Didn't have a shitty story like Ef, either.

The BluRays for this show are going to drain my resources :)

This show is probably the BEST this year.

Was I the only one thinking I'm not nearly high enough to be watching this?
Great show makes you think a bit more to understand it. I honestly have to say I didn't think this show would be any good when I first started it.
There was penguins and a hat and something about a drum... and I just didn't get any of it. But as it got on things started to make less sense and I was purely watching it for the penguins.
Then I dropped it around episode 6, then watched it straight from there to episode 22. It does well to confuse you if you're not paying enough attention and does clear up points as the story progresses. Loved the background music to, fit so well.

I get it but at the same time don't. Just words can not....

Wasn't terribly impressed by this.

I'd outline what I said before, but I've already put that into a large anidb comment.

Yeah, I want the OSTs, but will get all of them as I will buy the BDs :)

That was amazing. It was like every ending for the show that I could have thought of, put together beautifully and coherently.

I can't actually agree that this doesn't have a good ending.

I agree that the show took it's time to pace up, but if you watch it again, you will know that there are a lot to show as basic rule of introducing basic characters and basic rules of the show at the very beginning, we learned a lot about Shouma, Kanda and Himari, we learned about side characters, and other characters that had a large part in the story.
Once that was done, you would notice the show taking a 180* turn and stoon on the tracks without getting flinched by side stories, filler content or anything that is nonsense.

Every new scene, everything in the flashbacks, was inviting towards the next chapter of the story. Nothing of importance was skipped, everything tied to the very end and the most important message given.

An explanation (http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/nnqsj/mawaru_penguindrum_episode_24_discussion_spoilers/c3akqdr) that I found on Reddit (not mine, wish I was that smart). Now that I think about it, there were a LOT of apples throughout the course of the anime.

Also, the ball that Kanba shot Shouma with in e23 - which was it?

I'm analyzing this more deeply than I did for the Scarlet Letter in my English paper this week...

No, All was according to Momoka's plan.

This was certainly a ride. Didn't like Utena that much, but this was amazing. Won't pretend I understood it all, but I feel like I connected quite much of it, especially the main themes like having a purpose in life, even if everything happens for a reason fate is still something you can change if you put effort, and journey of life and reincarnation. And of course the revolution of breaking yourself free, not being limited by rules, like Utena.

Having seen http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1250 helps a lot in understanding this anime really.

Well, we finally got resolution to all the frayed threads that has strung us along all this time. And I guess a lot like life, we don't always get what we want.

I bet the creators took a few courses in symbology. A person could easily make a very deep study of this show, to mine everything the storytellers were trying to tell us.

Nominate this show for best of the year.

I never got why Masako always said "Gosh, I must crush him soon" in the end. Anyone who did and want to share their interpretation?
