That awkward moment when American studios start making better isekai than most Japanese studios have been putting out lately.
You're My Frankenstein and I'm Your Monster!
out of all the songs from the musical episode, this was my favorite
[Image description: The "two buttons" meme. In panel one, a gloved hand is reaching out to a panel with two red buttons on it. The buttons are labeled "Make aro memes" and "Disappear into the abyss until the 15th." In panel two, a superhero with a distressed expression labeled "Aros on Valentine's Day" is wiping sweat from his face as he looks down at the buttons. End ID]
I don't think it's a coincidence.
Happy 25th birthday Shōjo Kakumei Utena!
the idea of eternity in utena is so interesting. initially "there is no such thing as something eternal" is the thought that sends utena spiraling into suicidality, which is understandable, since the idea that everything will end someday is terrifying. especially to a child. especially to a child who just encountered one of the most traumatizing and violent "endings" possible, the deaths of her parents. but then she's shown that apparently something can be eternal. and that something is pain, which is even worse, but at least gives her something to live for. and then by the end of the show it's like. no, pain isn't eternal either. "there is no such thing as something eternal" is reframed as a positive. eternity is Not Good. eternity is everything staying the same forever, never changing for the better. it's the opposite of revolution. it's what akio wants, perpetuating the system that benefits him at the cost of everyone else forever and ever. and no matter what utena might have thought, it is not what she wants.
I love it! Thanks for your hard work to bless the fandom with this.
This is by far, my longest animatic to date. Im sorry it took so long and that I havent released art in 4 weeks at all, but it was to work on this! I hope you all enjoy it. I know i usually post evangelion and danganronpa, but im really proud of this one. I enjoyed utena dearly and just really wanted to make something big for it, to show my appreciation! Also, huge thanks to neta for helping me make the shadow girls part! Their tumblr is @strawberry-flavors!
[Max Demian voice] It's actually quite simple. When the chick emerges from its shell, it is born as yaoi
and then when it flies to god, it becomes yuri
oh yeah i don’t think i ever posted it here but a while back i made a super pretentious “what would your black rose duelist motif be” quiz if anyone wants to experience their very own evil elevator therapy session
