Anime Spotlight: Mawaru Penguindrum (2011)

Episode 196: Time for another decade spotlight to get hype for our Anime of the Decade episode! For the second part of our 2011 segment we chose to watch and review Mawaru Penguindrum, a work directed by  Kunihiko Ikuhara after his long absence since completed Revolutionary Girl Utena.  We go over the many themes and try our best to dissect the many underlying messages in this wacky, dark, and complex show.
