Re:Cycle of the Penguindrum Set For UK Cinema Release Watch Trailer

Change your destiny this month with Kunihiko Ikuhara’s anime Re:Cycle of the Penguindrum. Glasgow based Anime Limited have announced the UK cinema release later this month, as well releasing the film’s official UK Trailer.

The two-part re-imagining anime will bring all of the series’ trademark avant garde visuals. The gripping terrorist plots, and of course penguins to the big screen.  Both parts will be showing exclusively at Odeon Cinemas for one-day only on 20th May.

Created by the legendary director Kunihiko Ikuhara (Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena) as a reimagining of his 2011 television series Mawaru Penguindrum, this feature film duology tells the story of Syoma and Kamba, two brothers who must challenge the very concept of destiny when their terminally ill sister Himari dies, only to be revived by a penguin hat that demands they find the mysterious “Penguindrum”. However, their search throws Syoma and Kamba into a weird web of obsessed stalkers, a terrorist plot inspired by the horrors of the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack, and the cursed fate that ties them all together.

This is a story about certain siblings, suddenly-appeared penguins, and the past and the future of this world…

The Takakura brothers, Kamba and Syoma, search for PENGUINDRUM by order of a mysterious penguin-shaped hat to save their ill sister Himari.

Ringo Oginome keeps realizing that her destiny has been written in a diary.

Masako Natsume tries to get her hands on Ringo’s diary to find her new destiny.

Keijyu Tabuki and Yuri Tokikago attempt to get back their precious person of fate.

All seek the PENGUINDRUM for their own sake and that of someone dear to them.

Ten years later…
Kamba and Syoma, who rode the train to change fate, momentarily come back from the place their fate took them…
