I CAN HAZ UR REVOLOOSHIN NAO? - Utena Thread
« on: November 20, 2010, 09:24:18 AM »
TSO told us to diversify our anime threads, after all!

Okay so Matsuri and I have been watching Utena together for a while and we've just finished Episode 21. From what I've heard from the internet grapevine, we're in the middle of the Black Rose arc, and soon come the mindscrews, until the finale of Episode 39. Hooray!

Also Matsuri wants to post some stuff in this thread that will make me die of laughter.

UTENA-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :*



...*ahem*
* Anthy Himematsy nods.

This is fun to watch in so many ways. Especially when it comes to the snarky comments we make over the things some of the characters do. :3

That image macro never fails to give me a ridiculously stupid grin on my face.

Utena is completely hypnotizing to me, really. I was very young when I watched it, around 10-ish? Probably younger. I was like :*

Oh Utena.  So many fond memories of this series.  Hm... Where are you.  I know the Shadow Puppets are getting even more awesome now, and has the Onion Prince shown up.  I thought that was pretty amusing.

Alright, pulling out my DVDs.  Time to figure this out.

Edit: Ah!  You have seen the Onion Prince.  And you'll be getting the most awesome end theme soon too.

It's still my favorite anime. And I still need to get that Rose Crest tattoo someday. :V

(And yeah, 21 is near the end of the Black Rose arc. 24 is technically the last episode of the arc, but it's recap, albeit [i[amazingly hilarious[/i] recap and worth every minute.)

Also have the whole one AMV I ever actually finished. (Warnings: contains movie spoilers, link may spontaneously not work anymore whenever I end up taking it out of my Dropbox but I promise I'll leave it at least a week.)

Say hello to Anthy, a Japanese input system that is for Linux. The name "Anthy" was taken right from the Anthy from Utena. I have absolutely no idea why, but I find that pretty cute. Also grounds to say that Utena is pretty damn popular there.

Now that I think about it, the story of Utena and Asellus' Story in SaGa Frontier are insanely similar.

I wish I still had that screenshot of a post on /a/ that listed everything that was insane about the Utena movie, in order, and ended with "Nice car."

... also, I wish the custom title/personal text you gave me was inaccurate. But. It's not. :colonveeplusalpha:

Actual funny coincidence, though: There's a city in Lithuania named Utena.

"She loved Big Brother."

Though really, this episode is most important for Nanami being adorable. Yes, really. Also, I called the plot twist at the end.

Relevant, some friends of mine and I on Google Buzz (last names redacted, natch):

Quote
James:
I was thinking that I wanted some more new anime to watch. Then I realized I really just wanted to watch Utena again.
1 person liked this - (Me)
M - I can't even get through five minutes of that show. I think maybe I sat through an episode once, but after five minutes my brain said, "too many roses!" and shut off.
Ben - More than one person has said that. And yet, the roses are among the least brain-hurty things in this series.
M - I'm assuming the roses are a warning to get out before you get to that other stuff.
(Me) - I should watch Utena again too. I should also get that rose crest tattoo I've wanted for ages someday when I'm not unemployed.
Seth - Utena is basically the Fight Club of anime. Well, only in the sense that I like them both a lot. What does it compare better too .... Memento? Sunset Boulevard?

Does not compute. There is no such thing as "too many roses". :getdown:
