Penguin Girl ♥ #11 — Love Power Will Make You Naked

June 28th, 2008

 

And possibly giant.

Impressions:

So, when I opened this episode, I was ecstatic that it looked like it was going to be 13 minutes long (well, 10 minutes minus the OP/ED). Then, after the OP, there was a very long ad for the DVD by some poor girl that looked like they pulled her off the street, censored her face with the Penguin Girl logo and forced her to read cue cards for them. She seemed terrified to even be there, let alone advertising for some crazy-ass penguin show. Luckily, the episode was well worth all of it.

Controlled chaos like this is an excellent form of comedy. This isn’t like Kyouran Kazoku Nikki which throws a punch of possible jokes into a pile and then uses whichever three landed on top. They wanted to have giant naked catfighting based on love power, and they ran with it. After the first crazy dart into the head causing nakedness giantness, that was the joke. They used it and made other jokes based off of it. They didn’t suddenly add a beanie to Nene and force her to fight the shrimp men for the sake of the family.

So anyway, yes, I loved this episode. Pure madcap hilarity. Aside from the sudden shift to Love Power Ultra Man there wasn’t too much particularly creative or surprising about the episode… Marie learned that her henchmen loved her and they all learned a valuable lesson about naked girlfights friendship or some such rot. I can’t even remember when the last time I saw a punchline of "and the world was destroyed" in anime either. They usually like their continuity too much. Maybe someone’s house or kitchen, but a nuclear disaster reaching all the way to the south pole? You might have to go back to Galaxy Angel for that one.

 Pengy’s ready to fight, but the rest of the party is a bit confused. Well, Pengy’s ready because she knows what to do around boss characters.
 
Well, there’s no helping it, but Kujira sees Pengy’s breasts bounce and realizes how she knows how Pengy can win!

 SCENESHIFT. Sumo match! Both sides have cheering squads yelling for them.  Kujira knows that using those huge breasts, Pengy can’t help but win.

The two get set and Seb is in charge of providing commentary… except he calls himself Mike. And is in a giant puffin costume.

The two keep staring themselves down and the battle starts. Pengy’s breasts provide the easy advantage for pushing, and Marie is pretty poorly off.

It looks like Pengy’s going to win, but Marie suddenly gets Pengy in a bearhug and crushes her. Then she releases Pengy and lets her start to fall lifelessly to the ground.

The others shout encouragement, but Pengy is passing out… it’s useless. Then Nene yells out that if Pengy wins, she can use Kujira for cosplay purposes. Pengy immediately gets fired up and returns to the battle.

Kaede is there to help her too and has Seb fire a dart into Pengy’s head. It’s the Love Drive, that absorbs all the feelings of the people around and powers her up.

Pengy turns huge (and naked). She looks down at herself, confused and her BOOMING VOICE shatters the censoring display as she covers herself.

Marie laughs at the ridiculousness, so Kaede tosses a Love Drive to Marie to make it even. Marie injects herself with it and demands that her knights send her their feelings to power her up, so they cower in fear.

Marie powers up… but barely changes at all (though also becomes naked). Pengy grabs her and nuzzles her for being such a cute size. She’s so small because she has no love power from her friends. So sad.

Marie bites Pengy’s finger and leaps away, claiming that she’ll never lose. Pengy won’t lose either, she’s got the love power of all her friends and won’t disappoint them. Marie doesn’t need the power of her friends, she can stand on her own.

The knights speak up, trying to tell her how much they’ve been through together. Finally, Maguro boldly tells her that they’ll stand with her and want to play together. Marie looks at them in tears and finally receieves their power, growing to Pengy’s size.

Correction, they’re not naked, they’re wearing sumo thongs.

Marie is amazed at herself, but declares that she still won’t lose to Pengy’s love power.

The two charge at eachother and the real battle begins as the heavy metal kicks in. Oh boy, Stills!

 More stills! I just capped nearly all of them, well… BECAUSE giant naked catfights are that important.

The two land a crosscounter which erupts in a huge explosion.

Sunset. Marie’s amazed that Pengy’s still fighting. Pengy starts to fall, but Kujira catches her. It’s because they’re all together. Pengy and Marie shake hands happily.
