I've been enjoying Sarazanmai too! I was wary of it at first because the premise made it seems like Ikuhara was taking his recent bad habits to a new low, but it's actually been legitimately good so far.
I... can't really say I like what I've seen of YKA that much, though. (I still need to watch the latter half of it, come to think of it.) As for Penguindrum, putting that one scene to one side (I think you've seen me bitch about it before on Tumblr?), I honestly think it's good. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece like some people claim, and it doesn't hold a candle to Utena -- heck, I think Sarazanmai has the potential to be better than it -- but it's definitely worth giving a chance.
