For the Utena fans out there: I have Rose Collections 1 and 2. Now I want more. I've found things called "Revolutionary Girl Utena #3: The Black Rose Blooms" and "Revolutionary Girl Utena: Impatience and Longing" avaialble on DVD (as well as the movie). Which, if any, of those do I want and, if both, in which order?

Well, I'd buy The Black Rose Blooms, and then Impatience and Longing, which might not be out yet, I'm not sure. But those are the next two installments of the series. I'd wait to buy the movie, or buy it and then wait to watch it until you've seen the entire series, because it makes no sense without having watched the entire thing.

Utena!

You want both. ::bounces around:: They're coming out on DVD? Thank goodness.. my awful awful fansubs need replacing.

The Black Rose sequence is my favourite story arc by far. That's when it really began to split form the manga and become dark and deep and - oh - Shiori! I must finish my Juri/Shiori stories...

I'm not sure you *do* need to watch the show before watching the movie, which is separate, and was a staple at lesbigay film festivals a while back. It might spoil you a little for Akio - but then, movie Akio and tv Akio are very different beasts. If you do get the movie, bear in mind that just because someone dies in the movie doesn't mean they die on tv. ::g:: It's a separate retelling.

The movie is pretty enough to make your teeth hurt, and has Utena and Anthy kissing madly, but it also has movie-Anthy, who doesn't charm me the way tv Anthy does.

btw, do you have cable and unlimited downloads? There's a lovely fanvid of the movie I'd recommend, if the download doesn't kill you.
