No episode exceeds 14 minutes (counting the OP and ED), and new episodes went at 12:00 Japan Time on Saturday at http://pen-musu.jp (sometimes earlier for users of Website/NicoNicoDouga, a Japanese Website/YouTube analogue) Each episode follows Sakura (alias "Penguin"), her TrueCompanions and [[GagSeries whatever comedy can fit into that short span of time]]. The web series ran for 22 episodes, all of them available at the previous link.

35	%%* {{Fiction 500}} - Sakura's family as well as Marie's family.
36	* FlungClothing - Sakura ''attempts'' it and ends up nude in the classroom. A second attempt makes it end up right.

38	%%* GagSeries
39	* GeniusDitz - Sakura is an expert on all things anime. Completely brain-dead in all else.
40	%%* HandsomeLech - Sakura, as a rare female variety--as Saki finds out pretty soon.

54	* ThePowerOfLove - Sakura turns [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever several feet tall and naked]] with the support from everyone in her duel against Marie.

Marie tries this too, but since her own supporters are initially.... less then exuberant, she only grows a few feet or so initially but manages to do better a few moments later.
55	%%* PrehensileHair
56	* PsychoLesbian - The Black Rose... you can't get any more psycho than the Black Rose. It doesn't help that [[WhipOfDominance she uses a whip that resembles a vine full of thorns called the Black Rose Rabu Rabu Whip of Love]] and uses it to deal ClothingDamage on Sakura. It gets weirder and {{squick}}ier once she turns out to be [[spoiler:Sakura's mother]].
57	%%* QuirkyMinibossSquad - The White Knights, Marie's followers.
58	%%* RecapEpisode - For a show this short? Apparently yes.

60	%%* RoomFullOfCrazy - A ''hall'' in this case.
61	%%* SceneryCensor
62	%%* SequelHook
63	* ShoutOut - ''Franchise/KamenRider'' and ''Manga/RozenMaiden'' among others. Several episode titles are puns on other anime, and by episode eight, the OP is animated as a joke at the expense of Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena.

65	%%*** Oh, and episode 19 has a [[Manga/SaintSeiya Saint Seiya-style]] sacrificial attack.

70	%%* TimeMachine - Introduced in episode 15.
71	* ToThePain - The level of abuse The Black Rose inflicts on Sakura reaches torturous levels, up to the point where [[DudeNotFunny things become rather questionable]].
72	* UnsettlingGenderReveal:
73	** Thanks to being [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent raised as a boy]], Kujira was dropped on ''herself'' at some point before the series started. She's [[{{Bokukko}} still pretty danged tomboyish]], despite her best efforts to the contrary.
74	** Also her fiance the ChineseGirl, Sha Chi, either has apparently still not realized Kujira's gender or she just doesn't care, although given that she sees the engagement as a way to have cool martial arts battles it might be the latter.
75	%%* VerbalTic - Sha Chi.
76	%%* WholesomeCrossdresser - Kare Ijuin.
77	* WhipOfDominance - The Black Rose is a domineering PsychoLesbian who wields a whip that she uses on her beloved Sakura to "discipline" her. The whip even causes ClothingDamage when it makes contact.
