I hope you've been well, Penguinbros.
Seizon senryaku!
>6 years.
Damn, Still one of my favorite times on /a/ and the show was just immaculate.
God bless Kanba, The real hero.
>6 years ago
FUCK.
I still have my Koizumi+Esmeralda folder.
>>159473744
Weird ass shit anime, but the OST was pure gold.
>>159474228
Kek, he took Esmeralda everywhere with him, didn't he? I loved his sexy Sanetoshi voice, I wish he voiced more anime.
>>159473744
>6 years
Holy shit. Could still remember all that incest hype after Ep1 aired.
>>159475236
How can we forget?
>>159473744
Listening to Grey Wednesday is depressing.
Dropped this episode 1 while it was airing, came back to it last year and it's one of my favorites now.
Wish I hadn't been so stupid, the threads looked like fun.

>>159476224
>Ep 1 NTRshit DROPPED
Remind me again
>>159476224
I have one with a different ending.
>>159476270
>Keyhole
Those were surely dark days.
I loved those wordclouds. Nothing has ever excited me as much as idiotically shouting characters' names in capital letters in the livestream threads.
>>159476287
Kanba kissed Himara in her sleep thus NTR-ing Shouma. Also the paste was updated every week and not made after the show ended.
Good times.
reminder that Ringo is best girl.
>>159476863
Stalker Ringo a best
>>159473744
Too bad it went to shit in the last third
>>159476993
While watching the show, I found her antics a bit boring but now looking back at it, Ringo was the funniest part of the show. It's thanks to her that we got to hear Ishida as a frog.
>6 years
Nice, at 1 episode every 6 months I am nearly halfway through!
>>159475503
On one hand I regret not watching this live, on the other I'm glad I didn't have to wait between each episode.
Shouma should have won the Himaribowl.
>that one episode toward the end where it looked like he might and /a/ had a seizure for an entire week until the next episode
>>159479262
He did win but Himari gave him up.
>>159479361
Shouma/Himari is best. Shouma an idiot.
>>159479262
Shouma/Ringo was the OTP of the show, my dude.
>>159479499
I agree.
>>159478814
For me, the waiting and all the speculah in between were the best part. I can't enjoy shows thoroughly if I just marathon them.
>>159479603
No, it was Shouma's faceless homo admirer/Shouma.
I really need to rewatch Penguindrum, it's really been 6 years huh?
Well, it's 20 years for Utena.
sup?
>>159480259
No, not again.
I want to remember that episode only with the cool Utena-esque shots.
>>159479941
It's a real dilemma for me. I prefer marathoning shows like this, but once they're over it's impossible to talk about them here.
Good times.
>>159480612
Rip gg
>>159480259
Supe, how do you do?
>>159473883
I see that you're a man of culture too.
>tfw the site that archived the the episode and speculah threads is dead
>>159476270
>>159476499
Holy shit I completely forgot about Keyhole
Bear Tsubaki's child
>>159480813
Kanba a shit. He only won because Shouma decided he wanted a different bitch.
>>159480943
Someone lacks the taste of a patrician here.
>>159481015
>his literal goal in life was someone else's leftovers

>>159480612
>>159479262
>>159479361
Didnt he sisterzone him? Red dude wanted Himari
>>159481119
her*
>>159481119
Yeah Shouma sisterzoned Himari but he did win.
>>159473744
Masterpiece
>>159473744
I still remember.... i wanna cry.... DESTINYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>159480612
I miss gg.
Reading 8th Sin's TL notes was fun.
>>159480839
Oh shit, I'd never thought about Penguinthreads being gone when the archive died. Looks like I only saved the final livestream thread, and now I'm glad that I did.
>>159481359
I've started reading through it right now.
>THEIR HOUSE
>THEIR HOUSE WAS THE TRAIN

Those were fun days;_;

>>159481231
Why are gg memesubs okay but Commie memesubs aren't? Is it because gg were a bit more subtle?
Don't want to ruin a perfectly nice Penguindrum thread but I'm genuinely interested.
>>159475823

>さぁ想い出して 夢に生きてた頃を
>>159481696
How can the other ending songs even compete?
What went so wrong?
>>159481651
gg wasn't OK though, they were literally the most hated.
it's just nostalgia now.
>>159481791
Lack of Ikuhara, duh. Penguindrum proves studios only matter when there's a good director involved.
>>159481651
Because back then the reaction was more "Oh, you!" rather than autistic screeching like it is today.
>>159481651
I see you wren't around for the threads. There was loads of shitposting about the subs. It's chill now because it was 6years ago.
>>159481651
It's mostly nostalgia, the reason people like them now is because they translated a lot of shows that never would have been done otherwise, and didn't get buttmad and smug if you called them shit
Commie memesubs
>uh actually this is a legitimate form of translation, you plebs are too stupid to understand lmao, blocking you on twitter now kthxbye
gg memesubs
>deal with it
>>159481734
Did they use Heroes as an ED or was it just an insert/OST song?
>>159481651
>Why are gg memesubs okay but Commie memesubs aren't?
They aren't, but after 6 years people simply get over it and share the "so bad is good" parts. The same shit happens with JJBA fans and DiU's Duwang tranlation.
>>159476224
>Ep 18 pulleys dont work like that DROPPED
My favorite week
>>159481916
It's at the end of episode 23 alongside Sanetoshi's monologue.
If someone were to stream it I would totally watch it together with you guys.
I should probably re-watch it sometime in the near future then.
After having read (and watched) Night on the Galactic Railroad it will be interesting to be able to see the effect it had on Penguindrum.
Started a rewatch because of this thread, forgotten how good it is.
Haven't got to the ultra annoying Ringo episodes yet though.
>>159482274
That monologue with that ending was so good. I've lost count of how many times I watched that part.
>>159473744
This show makes the average isekai look great in comparison.
>>159482437
>6 years ago
Holy fuck, time is flying.
>>159481192
Actually it was my OTP.
terrible cuck show, dropped
>>159482522
Yeah, keep deluding yourself into believing that this anime isn't utter garbage.
>>159473744
This show was a fucking ride and I didn't even watch it with /a/. I just remembered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddp53VZmnMw
Penguindrum was the most fun I've had with /a/. I put Penguindrum threads over Code Geass threads.
I miss it so much.
I was on /a/ when it aired but I only went to the TWGOK threads. I only watched Penguindrum at least 3 years after it aired, I think.
I kinda regret it, those threads probably were memorable.
>>159482927
Me too, anon.
I've always regrettted not watching CG with /a/, but being here for Penguindrum was invaluable for me.
>>159483167
I didn't watch either of those shows with /a/, but I think I got a similar experience watching Samurai Flamenco with /a/. I wonder which show will take us for a ride next.
>>159473744
Such a materpiece. About time for a rewatch I think.
Does anyone know if they changed anything for the blurays? Want to know if they're worth downloading over the original gg subs.
>>159485413
As far as I recall, there were many redrawn scenes like pic related. I think you can find them if you search them. I never downloaded them. I even regret applying the patch over gg meme subs.
>>159485522
That's a pretty dramatic change.
>>159485522
>>159485640
Is it strange that I like the TV version better?
>>159485640
It's because that particular episode was ridiculously off-model.
>>159473744
Wish the archives didn't die those saved threads were always fun to revisit
>>159485695
I like the TV version better too. Kanba actually looks cool there, he looks more like a bland bishounen in the BD.
>>159485748
fireden
>>159485413
>About time for a rewatch I think.
I hope you watched Night on the Galactic Railroad first. I plan on rewatching Penguindrum sometime soonish too, but I'll have to give that movie another go first. I'm especially unsure about the Kanba<>Campanella (had to look that spelling up) parallel.
I WILL NOT BE CRUSHED
>>159485919
Wait, I thought the entire archive was kill and the threads from 2011 were forever lost. I can't find any old threads there.
>>159485991
>watching Night on the Galactic Railroad
I think you should just the read the story instead of bothering with that movie, anon.
>>159486072
Oh I guess you're right.
I could have sworn fireden was complete.
>>159485919
>>159486072
Yeah not sure what fireden is but all the old live threads are lost
>>159486153
Why do you say that? The movie is beautiful.
>>159481651
gg actually subs shows, especially that weren't getting subbed otherwise. Macross for example.
commie want e-peen and only do popular shows which an official release. Just watch the horriblesubs version instead of their ESL crap.
I'd watched them if they were the best, or the only ones doing a show, but they never are. Because it doesn't help their e-penis.
>>159485779
But the W I D E bishounen is more Ikuhara's style.
>>159486190
I think I really liked reading the story. I read it a couple of days before the finale and was shitting bricks when I saw scorpion fire in the last episode.
>I still haven't watched the second half
>>159486340
Oh. It thought you meant there was something wrong with the movie. I guess I should get to reading the book sometime too, but these things take so much time.
>>159486197
Speaking of gg, is their site down?
https://www.mediafire.com/?k76mfuoswjas2uw
The final livewatch thread, if anyone wants to go full nostalgia mode. I think I didn't save the final fluff as seen in >>159483167 , yet I think it's still something.
>>159486426
It's not a book, but a short story that you can read in one sitting actually. You can have a look at here: https://www.cyberspace.org/~n8rxs/main.htm
Look what I found
Why did people think the penguindrum was a washing machine?
>>159487060
Technically, it was an Utena ending again.
>>159487147
Ikuhara said so on twitter while it was airing.
>>159487147
There was a washing machine commercial with Yuri in the show. Mawaru Washing Machine.
I, for one, was one of those who thought Yamashita was the Penguindrum.
>>159487060
>someone will be erased from the world
Still my favorite anime this decade. 6 years seems like yesteday
>>159486511
It is for me. Google's cached version of the page shows that it redirected to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzowlYF2KIM before it went down.
>>159487406
It's a good way to go down.
Would you rather fuck Shouma or let Kanba fuck you?
>>159487848
Both at the same time
>>159481651
commie does it better, gg literally ruins shows with it. see: jojo
>>159487848
Shouma would be gentle
>>159487848
Fuck Shouma
>>159487874
>jojo
Okay, it was bad, but not as bad as naming a show "Eotena Onslaught".
>>159487848
I'd rather smell and caress Sanetoshi's hair.
>>159487848
Just have a look at this boy.
>>159487957
Ringo literally tapped Shouma's ass in that scene.
>>159487848
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V54CQ6tWN0I
>>159481046
That's completely wrong though.
>>159487848
this is gay.
What will Iku-chan's next anime be, and what studio will do it?
Kanba was so fucking overrated holy shit edgelord.
this series had such a garbage ending.
>>159487848
Let the princess fuck me.
>>159487060
I still have mine.
>>159473744
a masterpiece of masterpieces.
Still can't believe it's based on a true story.
>>159490548
>that spinning thing with 4 lights
???
>>159490745
Some weird spinny desk decoration in Sanetoshi's office the camera sometimes cut away to.
>>159479603
NEVER
FUCKED
A
BURNING
RINGO
>>159490794
Oh I remember that.
I really wanted one of those, I tried so hard to find one but I guess it doesn't exist. Then I thought about making one myself but never got around to it.
WELCOME TO ROCK AND ROLL NIGHT
WELCOME TO ROCK AND ROLL FIGHT

>Looks like I only saved the final livestream thread, and now I'm glad that I did.
I saved it too. I miss non-stop screaming livestream threads, I hope /a/ can get its shit together in time for R3.
I loved that it had coaltar of the deepers for one of the EDs, they weren't a band I would've expected in an Ikuhara anime.
This is one of those shows I really enjoyed and would love to see again, but the first time around it fucking destroyed me so hard I can't work up the energy to rewatch.
