Penguin Musume - Like Lucky Star, but better
Posted: 2008-04-29 12:56am
I say like Lucky Star because the main character is also a girl otaku and cosplay maniac, but better because penguin musume's girl has big tits, a more energetic personality, and is filthy rich.
Her name's Sakura Nankyoku. Her last name 'Nankyoku' literally means 'south pole' so her nickname's Penguin.
This anime's easier to get into than Lucky Star because it doesn't consist entirely of obscure references and slice of life. This show also has some action in it. It's also an online anime, meaning it's channel of distribution is through a free Japanese version of youtube. It has two episodes, each 14 minutes long, out so far and the English subbed versions can be found torrented or on Veoh, which I'll provide links to here:
Episode 1
Episode 2
Little notes:
- One of the characters' name is Kujira, which literally means 'whale'. This fact will be handy to know as you watch this series.
- The studio sent out a call to fans; a contest: the fan that makes the best fan opening will get theirs put on the second episode. So the second ep opening is a piece of fan work (most of it, I think).
- Look for Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh at about 2:29 in episode 1.
- Episode 1 has a notable translation error: At 11:31 the sub says, "That's enough; even though you're idiotic." That's totally wrong. Kujira's saying, "Isn't it alright if you're student council president?"
