Penguin Girl ♥ #12 — That’s Right! 12! Finally!

September 5th, 2008

 

Oh god, I missed you, Pengy.

Impressions:

Well, a little more of a reintroduction episode and I’m amazed that they actually tried to connect the world destroying events of episode 11 into something sort of resembling continuity. It could have definitely used a bit more humor, but it was a decently touching little wrapup to the Marie arc. Hopefully she’ll stick around a fair bit to strike back at Pengy from the poor house. I also don’t remember her being quite so well endowed. Maybe it’s an after effect of the Love Power turning her huge. The patchwork clothes does accentuate her curves though. Mmmmm Chupacabra.

Otherwise, not too much else to say. A little setup for whoever these new antagonists are. I wasn’t even aware that this show really lacked antagonists. Pengy antagonizes the other characters enough as it is. I’m not sure I caught the names though. It seemed like they were related to Xia Ci and it it wouldn’t surprise me too much if they were her sisters come to drag her back or something. It’s a fine martial arts trope from Ranma and even further back I’m sure. More martial arts zaniness is always a good thing.

I don’t like the new ED too much. The curtain fire one entertained me. I assume they’ve got a large trove of fan versions of the OP to run through, though most of this one was the same as usual.

Pengy #12 OP

Pengy ED #2

Photo op! Sebastian takes a picture of the crowd in the crater caused by their horrible battle. In the aftermath, classes sort of just went on in the destruction. On blankets and boxes. Xia Ci and Kujira weren’t too pleased with Pengy. However, Marie and her Whitebear squad ‘transferred’ into the school as well and now they’re all classmates. Although… Marie’s clothing is a bit trashed.

She’s also a bit more well developed than I remember her being. The Whitebear building and all their riches collapsed along with it and Marie’s not about to forgive Pengy so easily… though she’s still having some trouble… after all, she’s even wearing patchwork panties, which she exposes to everybody when she trips.

Back to quasi normality, the girls are headed to ‘school.’ Pengy calls them over to the school crater where she’s got a huge Pengy tent set up. It’s a big school party. They start chowing down as Pengy thanks them all for showing up.

To celebrate what… the new giant building she’s had built. As she unveils it, the rest of the destroyed city springs up and back to the original. It’s a present from her. Nene takes it all in stride… at least more than Kujira and Xia Ci.

The Whitebear squad can only look on in envy and defeat. Marie turns and leaves in anger. The rest of them follow her to Marie’s broken down shack. She yells at them as they enter, but they bring her out anyway.

They take her to… Maguro who shows her a cake and they all wish her a happy birthday. Marie gets all tsundere, but Maguro confidently presents the cake to her. They apologize that it’s just a little cake, but they want her to be happy.

Pengy and her friends show up to celebrate too.

Pengy wants to have a huge party and a big cake too, but Marie yells at her that she doesn’t need Pengy’s money or her party. All she needs is the intimate one with her friends. She revows her revenge on Pengy who goes all starry eyed on her.

In true tsundere fashion though, it’s okay if Pengy wants to celebrate with them though. Marie blows out the candle and they celebrate together.

Someone takes pictures of them from the shadows/a nearby trash can. They evilly laugh and then zip away.
