Re: Mawaru Penguin Drum [Spoilers]
That is the basis of the show, if you think about it too much, it's really weird.

Re: Mawaru Penguin Drum [Spoilers]
Well, if she is adopted into the family, which the anime just stops short of saying in so many words, she is their sister. Hence, by all means, it would and should be counted as incest, despite them not being genetically related.
The whole thing now about them being "strangers" just comes off as emo to me at best and total bull at worst. It is obvious that their train of thought is quite dysfunctional, especially when it comes down to "sin" and family. The Japanese concept of guilt as presented in anime makes no sense as far as I am concerned because nobody should ever be judged for the sins of the father or the sins of the son, etc. You are responsible for yourself only as far as sinning goes. Putting this into family, all of the characters need to stop kicking themselves for things they did not do or could really do anything about at the time. I understand that they are ashamed, but that does not mean that they are guilty of anything. If they are guilty of anything, it would be living in self-exile, self-pity, and wallowing in misery and pain more than need be. I know that sounds cruel, but mourning over something like this does nobody, not even the deceased, any good.

Re: Mawaru Penguin Drum [Spoilers]
Not at all, the premise is about fate. and how certain lives affect another. (It is really hard to explain past that, without spoiling.)
It is certainly worth watching, if you want to watch it.

eventually if i ever find time, sounds kindof bad considering all my time now is devoted to stopping the urge to take a hammer and smash my modem

I've been there.
I'm sure A-kun will give better details than I, I'm really bad about spoiling shows when people ask about them.

I think that bittersweet taste is part of the point.
