Revolutionary Girl Utena

[cdybedahl]

In a vain attempt to distract myself, I put the Utena Rose Collection 1 DVD into the player and watched a few episodes. I'd seen the first two before, in shoddy over-compressed DivX format, so I knew that the series is more than a little bit on the non-straight side. But, damn. How gay can you get? I'll have to order the second collection DVD too.

Isn't it amazing? ::sigh:: I'm so in love with that show... Not just because of the queerness, either, but it helps. ::g:: But the whole thing is so multilayered and... beautiful... and oh, the characters. I'm obsessed with Anthy. And all that *pink*!

The movie, "Adolescence Apocalypse," is even queerer, even though Saiyonji/Touja slashiness is no longer a factor. Have you seen these screenshots from the closing sequence? http://diabolical.nu/utena/gallery/movie/Screen47.jpg

Oh, and I'm plugging this fanvid everywhere, because I'm obsessed with it. ::g:: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/legacy/video.php?v=1462 Evil evil video.

I will stop raving now. Someone on femmeslash told me to see this show, and oh... instant love.
