Penguindrum Conundrum

On the back cover of Penguindrum's second Blu-Ray release, a bold sentence states, "The trippy surrealistic smash sequel to the year's most talked about anime!"  NO.  Penguindrum originally aired all 24 episodes in the series uninterrupted.  There was no "sequel."  The entire show is one complete story.  The person who came up with this tagline either was unfamiliar with the show or is willfully misleading buyers.

But I guess that "The second half of the show you already shelled out $70 for" wouldn't convince many too take the plunge....
