Ducks In Anime: The Show That Keeps On Giving


-Tokyo ESP, Ep03
Here's what we've learned so far:
1) The penguin is named Peggy.
2) Peggy is a Magellanic penguin.  This is not specifically said, but it's described as native to South America, and it likes to nest in the cracks and openings in cliffs.  Combined with its apparent size and coloring, that pretty much narrows it down.  Oh, it could be a Humboldt penguin, which even makes sense since there was an escape from the Tokyo Zoo in 2012 that evaded recapture for close to three months, but the coloration around the eyes is wrong.
3) Peggy is a superhero.  No, seriously.
4) Peggy, like all people of good taste, has a rubber duck.

I've said it before, but there's been a dearth of ducks in anime of late.  Quite annoying, that.  Get with it, Production Staffs!

1 Yeah, episode three was when I pulled the ripcord.  Just too damn silly, especially in conjunction with the slaughter of episode 1.   Total tonal bungee-cord experience.

2 Mitch, Ep04 marks the point where the series appears to settle down.  If you liked it otherwise, give it another shot. 

It's trying to mirror GRZ.  It's not as good, but it's trying.
