Welp. Her name really should have been obvious to me, being a great lover of yuri. But, holy moly, this episode pushed most of my buttons in alluring ways, and this was one great episode! Unfortunately, I do not have much to say about any symbolic moments in this particular episode, nor do I have anything to add to the theories surrounding Mawaru Penguindrum. Do check out the more insightful posts from The Untold Story of Altair & Vega, Draggle’s Anime Blog, and Beneath the Tangles. I’ve been very busy lately with planning two college events, helping my students to review for an upcoming midterm, studying for my own midterms, reading and doing research, and writing papers. That’s why I haven’t been on Twitter lately, and I haven’t the time to come up with a decent editorial the past weekend. So, here’s a short filler post filled with my various reactions to this episode, and it looks like I’ve unintentionally started doing Mawaru Penguindrum episodic posts now. 😛
*raises eyebrow* This does indeed look like a classy show. I was never really that interested in it before, but now I’m rather curious.
Hopefully not just because of the yuri 😀
Ahaha, yuri aside, Mawaru Penguindrum is getting very interesting! You should check it out!
(But, of course, yuri is always a good excuse to jump onto the bandwagon. :D)
I’ve been keeping up with it, in fact, it’s just that I’m trying to think of something interesting to write about again with Mawaru. I’ve never been pushed to such limits before, but then Mawaru had to come along and mindblow every episode…^_^
Good luck coming up with a post on it! It’s certainly tough to come up with a post, what with all the allegories and all. ^_^
I know I should of seen that coming episodes ago, but I didn’t. I guess that is why I love this show ^^
I also love this show as well. So much surprises and twists invoking many ideals and morals! ^_^

I haven’t seen the most recent episode, but I believe you know how I perceived this episode (tweeted on Twitter). Although, we were surprised by Yuri by her yuri moves, I still don’t see her evil at all. As a matter of fact, I believe she’s another poor lost soul who’s affected by Momoka’s death. That’s because there’s something in her tears that I find so sincere and helpless.
Anyway, guess I better download ep15 before your current Penguindrum post fully tempt me.
After watching ep15, I’m sure that you’ll understand Yuri much better. I’ll just leave it at that. And I don’t think that she’s evil as well. 🙂
