Penguin Drum - Spoilers & Speculation - Novel Penguins
This thread is for the experienced Penguin Drum viewer (i.e. those of you who are familiar with potentially all the light novels / manga), its purpose is to allow free discussion of theories and speculation over the Penguin Drum anime series, it therefore will contain unmarked spoilers. If you are a light novel / manga virgin of Penguin Drum, then do not read this thread unless you want to be spoiled (use the Penguin Drum - Spoilers & Speculation thread).
Since posters are expected to be familiar with the light novel / manga, there is no real need for spoiler tags, but feel free to include them if you so wish. Adding a Spoiler tag: Just highlight your spoiler and click the button found on the "Quick Reply" and "Reply to Thread" forms. Make sure that you include a title that clearly identifies the specific source of the spoiler! Finally, please remain on-topic and do not use this thread if it's just discussion about the current or previous anime episodes. Also remember that this isn't a light novel / manga discussion thread, if you do want to discuss the light novel then please use the existing thread. |

I get really confused where to discuss the novel on here but since it is starting to be translated (by Good Haro) I figure this is the right spot.
And although the first post says no spoiler tags needed I will use them just in case Spoiler for Novel 2 Be Warned:
Anyways I really hope the anime conveys this scene somehow. I think the anime hasn't done a good job (so far) of conveying that Shouma does feel useless & his fear if he did anything he would just cause trouble. It is also nice to finally get a moment between Kanba & Shouma again. It feels like it's been awhile.

More from the novel! Thanks to Good Haro
Spoiler:
Someone's jealous. Edit: Even more penguin fun: Spoiler:
By the way, when the translator gives these a more permanent home, I'll delete what I have pasted here and post the links. The only reason I'm copying and pasting is because they're on 4chan and threads get deleted quickly over there. For what it's worth though, here's a link to the archived thread: http://archive.foolz.us/a/thread/56665385#p56672339

I also thought the Utena ending was wonderful and I actually had a lot of issues connecting with Utena as a series but I thought the ending was fantastic.
Anyways I don't really have any theories about this because unlike Shouma & Shouma/Ringo I don't feel like I can get my head around where Ikuhara wants to go with Kanba Kanba/Himari. I still almost feel like letting go of Himari might be important but who knows. However I don't think a storyteller using similar themes in more than one work is a bad thing. I actually like when there is a connection between a creators work because then you can truly see their creative stamp on it. Of course not that I had a problem seeing Ikuhara all over Penguindrum before this though.

We have Natsume trying to save Mario Yuri trying to bring back Momoka Spoiler for Novel 2:
Kanba (& Shouma) trying to save Himari And I do know in Utena all the supporting characters had something they wanted to do as well but I felt their stories were presented as their own stories. There is a larger connection between all the characters here. And also while I feel Kanba will play a large part in all this I can't discount that Shouma will be important somehow too (and Ringo). It's pretty clear the story is trying to make it like he feels he can't do anything for a reason. So really I don't think it is very easy to predict exactly where the story will go!
