This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Title says it all. A wonderful thing about Penguindrum existing as new in this AMAZING WORLD OF THE INTERNETS is that everything that comes out of Ikuhara's yapper is getting translated on blogs and such. As opposed to with SKU where it took over a decade for me to have my Saionji with glasses fantasies validated.
To start! An interview included with the first Blu-ray. http://penguindrum.livejournal.com/44413.html

I think it was in the Apocalypse Saga booklet, one of the Be-Papas guys said he had never met a genius until he met Ikuhara, and he hasn't met one since.
It is amazing, and necessary, that there is a guy out there who thinks about the things Ikuhara thinks about and the way he thinks about them. Brilliant. Great interview.

From the comments "anyway i can't wait to see what the penguindrum is and knowing that we're actually going to KNOW is exciting. i was expecting to get hella trolled and never knowing."
YOU SAID IT, BUDDY
I wanna know the other things left unexplained! Or maybe, they were just a device to tell the story of the Takakura family and their way to love, without having actually importance and basis?

I thank the stars for it.

Someone translated a bit of an interview on 4chan. It was from one of the Kossori sessions I guess? Maybe not though. Anyway, here's what they said:
One audience member asked: "Do you have any desire to remake Penguindrum with the same cast of characters, but completely gag or completely serious? What would it be about?"
(Personally, I took this as a question about whether there were any plans to produce a parallel story continuation type thing, lol)
Ikuhara: "I do."
Audience: Zawa... zawa...
Ikuhara: "As far as what it'd be about..... that's a secret *smirk*."
Audience: WOAH
Trolling the audience? It would be nice if he made some more penguindrum stuff.

....really?
Hmm. It's hard to say, that would have a lot to do with how popular the show is in Japan, and I'm not really sure of that. I know the airing timeslot was brutal early in the morning, but maybe that's par for the course in Japan?
