Ringo-chan

RSI is still really bad but have to post this, I found this Anime series called Mawaru Penguindrum on a list of recommended more adult anime, this is the summary:

“Once you make a decision, does the universe conspire to make it happen? Is destiny a matter of chance, a matter of choice or the complex outcome of thousands of warring strands of fate? All twins Kanba and Shoma know is that when their terminally ill sister Himari collapses at the aquarium, her death is somehow temporarily reversed by the penguin hat that she had asked for. It’s a provisional resurrection, however, and it comes at a price: to keep Himari alive they need to find the mysterious Penguin Drum. In order to do that, they must first find the links to a complex interlocking chain of riddles that has wrapped around their entire existence, and unravel the knots that tie them to mystifying diary and a baffling string of strangers and semi-acquaintances who all have their own secrets, agendas and “survival strategies.” And in order for Himari to live, someone else’s chosen destiny will have to change. It’s a story of love, fate, life, death… and Penguins!”

So of course I had to check it out, since I can’t do anything with my hands I’m watching a lot of anime, listening to a lot of audiobooks (PKD and sci-fi), meditating so much I only need a few hours of sleep every night and experimenting with Christopher Penczak’s chaos magick. So you’ll understand that I found this episode I just saw rather interesting:

This is a still from the opening theme. Next are some stills from episode 3. The character here is named Ringo, just like me. Ringo is also the Japanese word for “apple” aka the Forbidden Fruit.
