Since its very first episode, Mawaru Penguindrum may have already established a sort of form for itself: sheer unpredictability. Others may disagree though, and say the show is not unpredictable as it is just a montage of crazy random sequences. Well, it wouldn’t matter how you look at it; you will almost always wind up clueless after an episode. With sixteen episodes in, the mystery still remains as a mystery, despite the latest revelations and such. I feel that the series is just begging us to speculate, only to have our guesses flipped around stomped on. So why am I pointing out something that is already so apparent from this show?

Me, basically

I really thought that I would be able to write more during my semestral break (which is being spent watching anime, going out to play DotA, and anxiously checking my grades online). Well, be that as it may, I did get to think up of some things to post. I also got around to finishing some titles that I’ve stocked for a while, and I even got to read and finish some manga. So yeah, look forward to that.

Anyway, I’m planning on sneaking in two posts before October ends, so yeah, this is me popping in and saying “How you guys doing?” and “I shall return” ^^

Fall is now in full throttle (almost), with only a few more shows to make their appearance. Contrary to my last post, I ended up picking more shows than those that I’ve mentioned.

The first week is always fun, since this is where we get to see if the hype holds true or not. There are a lot of hyped up shows, and I think it’s safe to say that some held up, while some did not. Here’s my take on the first week of Fall 2011.
