PENGUINBEAR . . . . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think everyone and their dog know by now that genius anime director Ikuhara Kunihiko had since announced his new project (via his usual stealth, near-trollish way):

http://penguinbear.com/

(above image - which might or might not be Penguinbear's concept art - found on Tumblr)

As a fan of Utena AND Penguindrum, I will keep everyone posted with new finds regarding this Penguinbear Project.  For now, I leave you the link to the Penguinbear thread  at In the Rose Garden, which is regularly updated with relevant news and info of this little gem:

More to come when Ikuhara is to release more info!

Excerpt: “The revolution succeeded; it crumbled afterwards only because those whose lives got revolutionized did not follow up on the revolutionary success,” said the Bride, her words setting their closed hearts aflame. “This time, will you help us help you?”

Seinen Kakumei Utena takes place in the anime’s continuity, but will also incorporate certain elements from the movie; on top of that, prominent characters from Mawaru-Penguindrum will be making their appearances starting in this part.   Set ten years after Revolution (and weeks after M.P. ep. 24's Fate Train Transfer), the matured Duelists will react and battle against the Ends of the World amidst real life adult problems.  This is a work dedicated to the passionate, wonderful people at In the Rose Garden, which even now remains the coolest place for Utena fans to hang out online.  The thread for Seinen Kakumei Utena on the Rose Garden forums is here.

p.s. This part contains my take on both MP's Child Broiler and SKU's Nemuro Hall.
