[[quoteright:231:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Penguin_Musume_231x320.jpg]]

Sakura Nankyoku. Daughter of Nankyoku MegaCorp. {{Otaku}} {{fangirl}}. StudentCouncilPresident. Total nutcase.

This is the world of ''Penguin Musume''♥''Heart''. Adapted from the ''Penguin Musume'' manga running in Champion Red, it's one of the few anime to air completely online. No episode exceeds 14 minutes (counting the OP and ED), and new episodes go up at 12:00 Japan Time on Saturday at http://pen-musu.jp (sometimes earlier for users of NicoNicoDouga, a Japanese Youtube analogue) Each episode follows Sakura (alias "Penguin"), her {{nakama}} 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.

This anime contains examples of:

* AndTheWinnerIs - Subverted! It's by this fluke that Sakura is in her position of power.
* AnimalMotifs - Sakura: penguin, Kujira: whale, Marie: polar bear, Sha Chi: orca.
* BattleButler - Sebastian
* BrokeEpisode - Marie loses all of her fortune and is reduced to living in a shack in the aftermath of the giant naked catfight incident. On her birthday, no less.
* ButterflyOfDoom - The plot of episodes 15 & 16.
* CallingYourAttacks - EVERYONE does this, but Etorofu Whale Punch gets used a lot.
* CatGirl - Crossed with a LemonWackyHello, if by accident.
* ChineseGirl - Sha Chi
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman - Sakura's "Cosplay Power".
* ClothingDamage
* CosplayOtakuGirl - Sakura. She loves dressing up in costume and once got her HeroicResolve back when she found out she could play dress up with Kujira if she won the match she was in.
* CuteMute - Maguro, Marie's {{meido}}. Also Saki-chan, who takes after her sister.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune
* DroppedABridgetOnHim - 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.
** 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.
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins - Kinda goes without saying, doesn't it?
* EvilMatriarch - [[spoiler: Sakura's mother. Dear Lord, Sakura's mother]].
* EvolvingCredits - The first seven episodes slowly change before stabilizing into something that's more of a BaitAndSwitchCredits.
* DancingTheme - One version of the OP, and a portion of the ED.
* FlungClothing - Sakura ''attempts'' it and ends up nude in the classroom. A second attempt makes it end up right.
* GagDub - An official one, too. Including recasting the show as a wrestling show and a {{Sentai}} team, all while messing around with the first 11 episode's scenes in a style reminiscent of a FanVid.
* GagSeries
* GeniusDitz - Sakura is an expert on all things anime. Completely brain-dead in all else.
* HandsomeLech - Sakura, as a rare female variety--as Saki finds out pretty soon.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming - Most episode names are [[ShoutOut references to other shows]].
** Even the drama CD can't escape from this, as its title is [[KingyoChuihou Iruka Chuuihou]]
* IdiotHair - Sakura, again.
* LastEpisodeNewCharacter - Sakura apparently has [[spoiler:a sister, also called Sakura, who looks just like her]].
* LesYay - Sakura is rather... enthralled by Saki, who is also a fellow {{otaku}} and seems to [[SchoolgirlLesbians return the sentiment]].
* LuckyCharmsTitle
* LukeIAmYourFather - [[spoiler:The Black Rose is in fact Sakura's mother]].
* TheMessiah - Nene is qualified for sainthood.
* {{Miko}} - Nene
* MoeMoe - According to Sakura, Maguro's little sister hits almost every major ''moe'' category, and then some.
* PantyShot - See episode two for plenty of Sha Chi's panties.
* PhenotypeStereotype - Marie Chupacabara W. Whitebear. Also has a bit of RedEyesTakeWarning.
* ThePowerOfLove - Sakura turns [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever several feet tall and naked]] with the support from everyone in her duel against Marie. But not before she gets hit with a tranquilizer first. 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.
* PsychoLesbian - The Black Rose...you can't get any more psycho than the Black Rose. It doesn't help that she [[WhipItGood she uses a whip that resembles a vine full of thorns]] called the Black Rose Rabu Rabu Whip of Love...
** Which gets even weirder (and {{squick}}ier) once she turns out to be [[spoiler:Sakura's mother]].
* QuirkyMinibossSquad - The White Knights, Marie's followers.
* PaperThinDisguise - Used in the last episode.
* RecapEpisode - For a show this short? Apparently yes.
* TheRival - Marie, daughter of the Whitebear Megacorp.
* RoomFullOfCrazy - A ''hall'' in this case.
* SchoolgirlLesbians - Sakura shows enough signs to be identified as one.
** In the last episode, she even gropes a newly transferred girl's breasts right off the bat. Case closed.
** As a kid, Kujira also once confessed her love to a girl--and none other than [[spoiler:Sakura]] at that. To be fair, Kujira ''was'' very young at the time and [[WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent raised as a boy]].
** Thanks to time travel, Kujira managed to alter the event; instead, she [[spoiler: confessed to '''''her older self''''']]. {{So Yeah}}...
* SequelHook
* ShoutOut - ''KamenRider'' and ''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 RevolutionaryGirlUtena.
* SiblingYinYang - Sakura is a GenkiGirl, her little sister Kaede is a LittleMissSnarker.
* StudentCouncilPresident
* SupernaturalMartialArts
* ThemeNaming - Polar animals in this case.
* TimeMachine - Introduced in episode 15.
* ToThePain - The level of abuse The Black Rose inflicts on Sakura reaches torturous levels, up to the point where [[DudeNotFunny things become rather questionable]].
* VerbalTic - Sha Chi.
* VillainousCrossdresser - Don't know if this counts, but ThisTroper is pretty sure Kare Ijuin is an aversion of this trope, as he's merely a bodyguard of Mary, Penguin's [[TheRival rival]], and [[ChainedHeat winds up with the same objective as Penguin]]: to save Mary from the clutches of Kurobara.
* WhipItGood - The Black Rose.
* WidgetSeries
