Line 21:
* [[Esoteric Happy Ending]]: {{spoiler|Sanetoshi warns Kanba that he and Shouma will be erased from existence and leave not so much as a grain of dust behind. This is (mostly) true, but unlike Sanetoshi, the brothers look upon this as a good thing.}}
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Ringo is a very cute girl, indeed, but seeing her in a black negligee when {{spoiler|she's about to rape a completely drugged Tabuki so she can be the mom of his child}} in episode 8 is all but ACK. It's not much better in episode 11, when [[She Cleans Up Nicely|a Ringo in a very cute dress]] {{spoiler|gets the guy to "love" her via a Love Potion, then backs off the sex deal... and Tabuki is so [[Not Himself]] that he starts making creepy [[Nightmare Face|Nightmare Faces]]}}...
** Episode 14 takes the cake. Two cute young women ( {{spoiler|Yuri and Ringo}}) bonding and spending a whole day together in an ''[[Hot Springs Episode|onsen]]''? [[Les Yay|Oh yes]], [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot|please]]. {{spoiler|A mentally and emotionally broken Yuri drugging up Ringo, stripping both of them naked and [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma|then trying to]] [[Attempted Rape|rape her]], while mentally repeating [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|how much she hates herself]] due to her body issues and loneliness}}? While we have LOTS of [[Male Gaze]] directed at {{spoiler|the unconscious Ringo}}'s nude body as {{spoiler|she's about to be raped by her dead sister's [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]}}? [[Shocking Swerve|Whaaaaaaat?!]]
** Episode 15 has a quite bit of it, what with all the nudity of a young girl like {{spoiler|a loli!Yuri}} who is about to be {{spoiler|heavily scarred and possibly raped by her father.}}
** The ending card [http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111105/tumblr_lu712e1XKl1qmd651.jpg for episode 17] features a very handsome-looking {{spoiler|Tabuki}}, with his shirt open and {{spoiler|his glasses off}}. The bad thing? He's actually {{spoiler|leaning his head [[Lap Pillow|on a little girl's lap]]. And while we don't see her face, the little girl is pretty obviously Momoka.}} Aaaaawkward.
Line 68:
*** By the same token, most of Ringo's [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]] are so over the top ridiculous that you can't help but laugh, but they also managed to convey just how screwed up the girl is.
** When {{spoiler|Masako pulls her [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]]}} in episode 22, we see {{spoiler|Esmeralda next to her opening a paper fan.}} It would've made the whole scene hilarious in normal circumstances... but come on, {{spoiler|Esmeralda [[Undying Loyalty|is THAT loyal to her partner and to #1]], [[Together in Death|and she's ready to die with Masako]]!}} How can that '''not''' be [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|really touching]]?
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: [[Mawaru Penguindrum (Anime)/Nightmare Fuel|Now with its own page!]]
* [[Pacing Problems]]: While it did flesh out her character, as well as introduce other characters crucial to the story, one may wonder if it was really necessary to spend seven consecutive episodes on Ringo and her arc.
* [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]]: As of EP 19, there has been serious ship wars between Kanba/Himari, Shouma/Ringo and {{spoiler|Shouma/Himari}}.
** [[Die for Our Ship]]: {{spoiler|Shouma}} is starting to take the worst part, mixed with {{spoiler|how Kanba rabid fans [[What Measure Is a Non-Badass?|mock his "lack of badassery"]].}}
* [[Strangled Byby the Red String]]: Some complains have been raised in regards to the relative lack of development between {{spoiler|Momoka and Tabuki}}'s bond, specially when compared with how {{spoiler|Yuri and Momoka}} got almost whole episode to explain their friendship while {{spoiler|Momoka and Tabuki}}'s own took less than 1/3 of another.
** However, this seems for the moment justified -- {{spoiler|Tabuki}} says he doesn't understand {{spoiler|[[Blithe Spirit|Momoka]]}}'s actions either, and he is an [[Unreliable Narrator]] as well.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Badass?]]: Shouma gets potshots (ranging from mere affectionate jokes to straight-up bashing) for not being as action-geared as Kanba. Even more so after episode 19.
