Mawaru Penguindrum Ep24 [END] – Observations
The long journey has finally come to an end… or is it just the beginning? My thoughts exactly when I first saw this episode. This ending is pretty much up to your interpretation, so I can’t really offer much explanation to what happened this week. I’ll just note random things I noticed in this episode [...]
Mawaru Penguindrum Ep23 – TL Notes, Observations
We’re back to the old WordPress theme thanks to help from MotsuCQ! It seems like the End Card got cutoff from our release… “I activated it at the destination of fate,” I can only imagine this is the Penguindrum… Sigh to the left is the “destination of fate”. Then it goes to Sanetoshi’s alternate universe [...]
Mawaru Penguindrum Ep22 – TL Notes, Observations
Ima, Ai Ni Yukimasu (“Coming to See You” AKA “Be With You”) happens to be my favorite Japanese romance movie of all time. The similarity of phrasing here leads me to believe it’s a reference here as well. In the movie, the heroine died from an unknown illness and gets resurrected in the future. The [...]

Very well-thought-out, tightly written script, directed nicely in this week’s episode. As some of you may have noticed, some Brazilian group got access to our half-edited script and leaked it this week… Well, it’s all good because I stole their timing and pasted the updated script over lol. Thx Morningspeed. Our timer was enjoying his [...]

Mawaru Penguindrum Ep17 – Observations, TL Notes
The second novel was released last week. I don’t intend to ever be ahead at the time of writing episodic posts, so all speculations made will remain spoiler-free.
Mawaru Penguindrum Ep16 – TL Notes, Observations
Natsume on the spotlight. It was a very difficult episode to translate with seemingly endless puns and jokes, but I really enjoyed the episode, and I was pleased with what we came up with. Natsume’s signature phrase: “Gosh, I must crush him soon” was apparently derived from her childhood when she was thinking of killing [...]
Mawaru Penguindrum 15 – TL Notes, Observations
Some of you may have already read the post from gg about my car accident on the way home from NYAF. The accident occurred on a rainy highway where I was driving at 120km/h (this is actually slowed down due to rain, because we usually drive at 130~140km/h in Toronto. Still pretty stupid though). My [...]
