Mawaru Penguindrum Thread (Spoilers)

Well, it's over. It's been a wild ride over these last 24 weeks.

 Spoiler

This series was awesome. Since the first few episodes it became one of my favorites anime, and after reading on many sites about the troll Ikuhara pulled on Utena, I was worried about this ending. It turned out much better than expected. Kanba and Shoma dying was pretty sad, and Masako saying it was a dream almost made me go nuts. Good to know it was not. The ending was great, seems like it's all in an alternative world, with Shoma and Kanba still alive and being kids, Masako not being Kanba's sister, and Himari and Ringo not knowing each other, although they turned out to be good friends. Kanba suddenly bleeding out penguin logos, Ringo bursting in flames, Shoma saying "I love you", and Himari crying over the note was very moving, made me almost cry.

This series was awesome, and I started watching without any expectations, but turned out to be one of the bests of the year.
Mawaru Penguindrum, along with Steins;Gate are my choices for Anime of the Year. (Followed by Madoka)
