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.

Where it came from
RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM Part 1: Your Train Is the Survival Tactic was produced in 2022 as a theatrical reimagining of the original 2011 anime series directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara. The project was conceived to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the franchise, aiming to condense and reframe the complex, symbol-heavy narrative of the Takakura siblings' journey while introducing new sequences and character perspectives that bridge the gap between the original broadcast and the subsequent sequel film.
The film was animated by Studio Lapin Track, the boutique studio founded by former staff members of Brain's Base who worked on the original series. Ikuhara maintained his signature directorial style, characterized by avant-garde imagery, theatrical staging, and cryptic metaphors. Upon its release, the film was received as both an accessible entry point for new viewers and a reflective experience for long-term fans, noted for its polished visual updates and its successful attempt to distill a sprawling twenty-four-episode story into a cohesive cinematic format.
