Utena - Blog Posts
Well the giving roses to Juri was not nice gestures but a way to manipulate Juri so she would remember and resurface all the pent up anger she has against Shiori.
"Belive in miracles and they will know your feelings." Juri thinks that's just a load of bullshit. But that one rose Anthy gives her reminds her so strongly of the time she's been betrayed and on top of that Utena has to do something.
Naive uninformed Utena who reminds Juri of the way Shiori once was. It all drives her crazy until she can't find any other solution but to duel. I will not clarify what Juri duels.
My point with all this is that Anthy is the catalyst always have that in mind when watching this show.
All those little moments.
All those little joys Anthy took in life.
Humming to herself by the sink. Playing the piano to calm her nerves. Watching the metronome bounce back and forth for no reason. Randomly offering a flower to Juri because Juri was there. That cute little hand dance she did in episode 7. All the choices she made about what to say, about how to say it, about who to talk to. The lunch she shared with Wakaba and Utena for no reason.
They can’t all have been forced on her by Utena’s influce.
They can’t all be fake.
Can they?
a cosplay photo so old it was taken on actual film (which explains the streaks from my scanner) and the con we were at doesn’t even exist anymore. it was around 13 years ago actually now that I think about it.

Hi, Vanna here. I have submitted to the strange authority of Xenforo's image hosting system, which demands that if I want gallery items to appear in proper order, I will have to upload them back to front.
As such, welcome to the last few page's of Animedia Magazine's September 1997 supplemental Duelist Bible, translated by Nagumo and edited by me!
Anyway

Ok, which one of you did this?? I refuse to believe two properties independently developed '1957 Corvette with a historically inaccurate backseat driving to the Real World'
I don't think it's a coincidence.

April 2, 1997
On this day, twenty-five years ago, the first episode of Revolutionary Girl Utena was broadcasted in Japan.
Happy birthday, Tenjou Utena! We've been following your iconic journey across multiple mediums for 25 years now. Keep revolutionizing our world, wherever you go! <3
Found an ancient usenet thread about the names of the duels in utena, and that each of the duels follows a hegelian progression for each character, and how there's 21 duels which means it can map on to the major arcana of the tarot... i am about to gnaw through the fence of my enclosure rn
Continuously in awe of how much symbolism there is in the funny gay sword show
merry pride time from the utena cast! they're at a pride parade together <3
Miki all the way. He’s just so pleasant, but he still has issues like any other Utena caracter.
