Animation footage!

It looks cute. A bit like Doremi or Heartcatch almost. Ikuhara did say it's going to be "like a Saturday morning cartoon with poison in it" or something like that.

Since we now know the anime title of Ikuhara's new anime project, should we change the thread topic to "Mawaru Penguindrum" ?
I never thought I would come back to Evangelion after EoE,
But I discovered Re-Take (or it found me?) and
now here I am.

:lol: Looks like after PaSwG and PMMM, I think this could be it, only with Ikuhara onboard.

it looks hilarious so I'm not sure what the problem is...

I just noticed they apparently didn't give the poor penguins name. They're just 1,2 and 3....

That's a very good question -o-;

Since it's Ikuhara it probably will be dark and filled with incest and lesbians - and random Ikuhara slapstick absurdity as seen above.

I mean jeez:

"What if a person, ignoring destiny, ignoring instincts, ignoring genetcs, were to love someone"
"We will share all my love and all of that person's punishment. I'll show that fate can be changed"

if there isn't any sort of incest random fabulously executed grimdark here I'll be very surprised.

But who the fuck knows what's going on in this show as of now...they're really keeping a shroud of secrey over the details here

Well, yeah, in some form most likely. So was Utena, but this seems to be very different from it yet strangely similar: add on that all the shit about changing or not being able to change fate and choose and whatnot + hidden grimdark under vibrant surface and it's safe to say this is by the guy who did Utena. :lol:

First episode will certainly be...interesting.

It's those hairbuns. I wasted some time doing a nonsensical comparison chart.

Since it's Ikuhara I expect more than a clash between a cute style and dark content. It guess it will be very silly at times.

People piloting penguins.

Wow, I actually want to watch this. Normally I don't fall for the cute brigade but this actually looks interesting...

That or I'm just in denial and just excited 'cause it's Ikuhara.

Take your pick.

Am I about 30 hours behind the adaptation of his characters to the Linux mascot stable? Or am I 'in b4 move_over_tux'?

This should, at least become good for some memorable dark comedy. I would be quite pleased with that.
