Shows like Mawaru Penguindrum make me wish that there was an academic anime discussion group nearby. This show is rife with symbolism and complex themes, and I know that even though I tried my best to analyze everything, there is a limit to what I can accomplish by myself.
While the show isn't hard to follow, if you are the type of person that takes an anime series at face value you probably won't enjoy this one. Most of the scenes in the show would seem ridiculous if taken literally. I am being vague on purpose, for if I attempted to describe the show I would undoubtedly spoil the plot, as there are so many twists and turns and revelations throughout.
Just know that it is the best show of the past season and it is worth your while to give it a try.
I love shows and videogames like that. Ones that make you think. It's really fun. =D
