It's Anthy's birthday! I did the movie designs because I couldn't remember if I ever drew them and wanted to.
‘oscar nomination for ryan gosling but not for margot robbie or greta gerwig’ satire is dead and so is god
Sometimes I forget that there’s other time zones and others get to see the new episodes first.
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.
That awkward moment when American studios start making better isekai than most Japanese studios have been putting out lately.
Okay but one of my favorite moments in RGU for me is in the final episode where the student council members are just chilling and hanging out and cooking some barbecue while Utena is literally dying—
And then Juri just starts telling this really depressing story and everyone goes along with it except for Nanami, who’s like “Why did you tell us this.” >:(
Juri: Yeah there was this guy who saved my sister from drowning, but he ending up dying in the end 😔 it’s such a shame, I can’t even remember his name
Everyone else: Oh okay cool
An interview I did with CNLA and CN Brasil!
I was surrounded by corgis. It was great.
Imagine this: Utena, but she got the glock
December 24th, 1997: The last episode of Revolutionary Girl Utena airs on TV. It ends with Anthy leaving Ohtori Academy, setting out on a journey to meet Utena in the outside world.
Make sure to leave our milk and cookies for Anthy and Chuchu tonight so they can have a snack as they travel the world looking for Utena. (You won’t get anything in return, but it’s a nice gesture.)
