Penguin Girl ♥ #10 — Traps, Maids, and Swords in the Bum

June 21st, 2008

 

Three things every Friday night should have.

Impressions:

Another fun episode. This ‘arc’ has now stretched on to I think almost a full episode in normal land. The Gothloli (man, I don’t even remember his/her name) being revealed as a trap was pretty broadcast by the VA just trying a biiiiiiiiit too hard. Well, I guess it’s better than just saying "screw it" and letting a woman voice him. Although, if it really is a female (looking at cast lists is for chumps! ^^) then I don’t think she’ll be getting too many feminine roles. The Kujira showdown with Maguro was alright I guess, but after the skirt flipping and trap jokes, it couldn’t help but be a letdown, though Xia’s rabid and misplaced jealosy over Kujira is always good for a girlish titter.

I chuckled at Marie’s varied punishments of her failure White Knights too. Mary got her sword in her rump (and twisted too!) while Gothloli boy got a swift kick to the crotch, and if there’s anything that anime needs, it’s more shots to the junk. You’d think such an obvious trope of slapstick comedy would be more prolific, but apparently the Japanese would rather ogle men in panties than kick them in the meat and veg.

I don’t understand it either.

Oh, and the OP this week was (as near as I could tell) the same as last week’s. The ED was back to the Marie version.

Gothloli Whose-her-face warns them all that they’re not going any further. She gives a long speech on the importance of the skirt and how her’s is so much better.

TIME FOR THE BATTLE. Pengy doesn’t understand, but she’s game. Gothloli moves with a flash, flipping up all their skirts at once.

Kujira and Xia are a bit pissed, calling her a pervert. Pengy’s just confused. Nene calmly fixes it. Nene understands her, the Gothloli’s lying. Gothloli makes a grab for Nene’s skirt again, but Nene deftly protects it

She looks into Gothloli’s eyes, saying that she knows everything and it’s all fine. Nene keeps talking her down and smiles at her, prompting ‘Gothloli’ to flip up her own skirt, revealing the elephant that lies beneath.

S/he switches to using boku around this time and tells them how embarassed she was, but now thanks to Nene, s/he can happily accept her own skirt wearing ways. Nene tells him to release them and Gothloli happily obliges.

The team continues onward… there’s one more person at the door to the roof to defeat… Maguro. Pengy’s ready to give up because of the scary scary maid. Marie yells at Maguro to slaughter them. Maguro charges up and slams down a… thingy… it’s a battle ring for arm wrestling.

Pengy knows the perfect fighter for it, Kujira!

She up to the challenge and the two get set. Then Maguro pulls out her cell phone and messages Kujira about how happy she is to get to have such fun with her.

The bell rings and Maguro takes the early advantage. Maguro texts Kujira again during the middle of it, so Kujira tosses her phone to Nene to read the love-love message.

Kujira gets annoyed and fights back to pull things even. The two grit their teeth and struggle… and the match lasts for two hours. THe rest amuse themselves in other ways. Pengy pulls out a DS and starts playing. Xia and Nene have cookies and tea.

Maguro and Kujira keep struggling.

Suddenly, Maguro’s at her limit and collapses… but it’s Kujira who catches her (to Xia’s distress). Kujira comforts her and tells her it was a fun and a good match. Girly blushing all around before Xia holds a sword to Kujira’s throat threatening her life.

Pengy shuts down her DS and Nene gets more love-love mail address for Kujira.

At the roof, Marie has punished all her defeated White Knights. Team Pengy vows revenge. Gothloli gets a boot to the crotch from Marie, who does not tolerate failure from anybody. Pengy declares that the challenge is on!
