RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM ［前編］ 君の列車は生存戦略
Available on
The first film in a duology compiling the Mawaru Penguindrum anime with new elements. What would you do to save someone you love? All brothers Shoma and Kanba know is that, after collapsing in an aquarium and apparently dying, their terminally ill sister Himari was somehow revived by a Penguin hat that she had wished for. Now they're on an impossible mission, because the price of keeping Himari alive is to find a mysterious object called the Penguindrum, and they'll do anything to save their sister. Anything. As they travel separate paths in their search, they'll have to unravel complex riddles, make alliances with strangers they know they shouldn't trust, and question the very fabrics of time and destiny.

How watching this pays the artists
Every time you watch RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM Part 1: Your Train Is the Survival Tactic on a legitimate streaming service, a portion of that revenue flows back to Lapin Track, the voice actors, the composer, and the animators who made it. Subscribing or watching on an ad-supported tier is how the work continues.
Where the money actually goes
Streaming services pay licensing fees to the production committee that financed the show. That committee distributes revenue to the studio, the publisher of the source material, the music label, and the broadcasters who originally aired it. The animators themselves are typically employed or contracted by the studio; their pay comes from the studio’s share of these licensing dollars.
Piracy doesn’t reduce streaming-service revenue evenly — it removes the underlying viewership that justifies future licensing investment. Less licensing investment means smaller studio budgets, lower pay for animators, and fewer shows greenlit.
Torinagi surfaces every legitimate option so you can watch on the service you already pay for, or on a free ad-supported tier if one carries this show. We never host video.
