Just from the raw alone, I get some of the concerns you voiced on the Penguindrum thread.
From the start, MPD has had two active/aggressive characters (Kanba, Ringo) and two passive ones (Himari, Shouma). That dynamic is Ok, but if Ringo is permanently shifted into the passive category, I have real doubts that Kanba can carry this show alone. So I see your point there.
Also, I want to apologize in case my Himari/Ringo speculations got your hopes up.
Even with no subs, and me knowing like 10 Japanese phrases/words, I can tell that Episode 10 is going hardcore in a Shouma/Ringo direction.
Just because it was something originally commented by Good Haro doesn't mean it was based on the novel (it wasn't). And it wasn't much of spoiler to begin with either. I'll tag it anyway...
I prob should have edited that entire post of mine.. the image we are talking about.. is a futanari short doujin that i saw on Pixiv.com... normal yuri is perfecly great and fine to me
Much better than the craptastic ending some of the animesuki people want to see. Don't get how anyone would want to see those two never become friends. :|
