Hmm ... saw episode 3 and will continue to watch. But it still remains strange - well, at least we know now where the trailer of the cat with fish and penguin collision from the trailers came from.

I do like those subtle changes... they were fun and... were changes That's an interesting theory. But for a sister to be left out on an important memory (when the whole family is having curry day) would be odd... so I guess it's safe to conclude that she's really an only child. TWICE? When was the other one? I can't remember >_<

But if we are to assume she died later, and there is indeed a sister, there's a theory that matches Ringo's craziness and lack in flashback: Ringo just pretends she didn't exist. Considering the relationship the sister seems to have (doing things with mom, mom being super friendly to her boyfriend - curry day for her?), and Ringo now is basically alone... another theory can be that Ringo is following the diary to become her sister so her mom will be happy again and she can have a happy family > therefor she ignores the existence of a sister in flashbacks. I know that's a bit out there, and I stick by the "she has no memory of it and found the diary thinking it was a Destiny!Mirai Nikki, but I figured I could offer another possibility. (as I'm gonna stick by the diary being someone else's, sorry :x ) Of course, a question now is: if Ringo is following her sister's footsteps, will Tabuki at one point realize the deja vu of it all? |

Nice catch. this was also one of the really early speculation early on from the thread that the Marunouchi station 1995 incident was related to the plot. Going by Ronny's theory, I think I can see how this might tie in to the fate theme, but I'm far too sleepy to make a full post now ... Not to mention I need to watch the episode again in the morning, but I've been skimming the thread a bit regardless and I have to say that I like Ronny's theory a lot.

Speculation buddy: Having some fun here
Speculation buddy: March 20, 2006 - Ringo falls in love with Tabuki Speculation buddy: Mirai Nikki manga - January 26, 2006 - December 27, 2010 Speculation buddy: Ringo read it~ Speculation buddy: Read the manga, found the diary Speculation buddy: "omg it's a future diary" More seriously: could we possibly, temporarily until the reveal, refer to Ringo's sister as Momo? I mean.. Ringo (apple) is the one with all the peach (momo) references :P |

A (slightly silly) question: has anyone swapped the audio of the Survival strategy clip with the original ARB song yet? I've searched youtube, and I've seen the original vid in here. I'm curious =)
Knowing Utena, I have to agree the theory with the sister that Ringo just blends out of her memory seems really plausible :s It's very reminiscent of how Utena characters just see the world they want to see... Alright, Ringo is presented as totally messed up from the outset though |

Before I go to bed, one more diary thing we just talked about: Buddy: I still think Kanba's driving force is break fate Buddy: Which makes me wonder how he'll react to finding out about the "fate diary" Buddy: He's going to burn the diary Buddy: Look at the OP~ Me: Ringo in flames |

The more we see of Ringo, the less I think the diary has anything to do with the penguindrum. As neat as would be if it predicted the future (think Early Edition) or can alter the future by writing in it, I'm starting to think Ringo's just unhinged, and is writing stuff she wants to happen, then trying to make them come true.
But but.... maybe that's what they want me to think... *peers around, nervously* |

I don't think the penguindrum is anything as abstract as "it's the diary" it could be something the hat needs to pull out of a human (like what she did with Kanba in the first episode) but only when certain conditions are met.

Firstly,onto the episode. Poor number 1 stuck in a mouse trap. Number 2 suffered too, but he should learn better at not being glutton, stealing all foods
Best two screen in this episode for me is:

On Penguin Drum, and considering the OP. I have a feeling that this anime will have quite a few different arcs, dealing with different characters one at a time.That means it is very likely that Ringo either don't have it,or the Penguin Drum is a group of quite abstract "objects" (a cursed item, a source of grief..... magical girls style) I enjoy the repeating transformation sequence to say the truth. It has Utena wrtiting all over it
