In this week's videocast Capsule Computers' anime expert, Luke Halliday, discusses why Mawaru Penguindrum is not as great as people like to think it is.
It's a good series. It's a bit too damn weird and got a lot of simbolysm (it's from the same people who made Utena), but it seems like in these days if it isn't a moeblob anime or a series that explains everything right from the start, people doesnt get it.
Mawaru Penguindrum isn't terrible, but the constant shifting around and symbolism just made me want to drop it. Seems like it is convoluted just for the sake of convolution.
Must it be like every other show in order for it to be understood?
The reason why it isn`t seen as a easy to perceive show is because it is different. Going by this means that people expect simplicity in everything that is done, and that nothing should require complexity of any kind.
Penguindrum is awesome, I disagree with your assertion politely.
Sounds like drugs.
LOL great episode .. i have to agree Penguindrum is crap.
Penguindrum is the best anime of the year easily. Its not dumb it is mind blowing and changed anime forever
