Utena la chica revolucionaria

Duelo 04

el jardín soleado- Preludio.

Acabo de caer en cuenta que Utena y Wakaba mencionan la implicación que a la primera se le perdió el sentido de la lógica.

Vuélvanlo a repetir pero ahora LENTAMENTE y tomando en cuenta los primeros 3 episodios de la serie y todo lo que ocurrió en ella.

A UTENA se le perdió el sentido de la LÓGICA.

Esta serie es grandiosa.

First they start as cheeky jokes… then they do this shit… if he is not stopped he will demand outright to be called “his serene highness” and that is when things are beyond fucked.

Please obstaculize this orange menace as much as you can, even if just to call his shit. He is trying to manufacture consent don’t give it to him.

Hahah thank you. I am mostly feeling a little down because once the tariffs hit things are going to get pricier everywhere and I am still nervous how is it going to affect our economy besides the other worrying stuff. So I am already being negative.

There are taxes if you import from Japan anyways. There was a 16% for anything over 50 dollars. And I have no idea if stacks with a new 19% to everything that arrives from a country with no trade agreement. 🤷🏾‍♀️

For the Bandai stuff there is a national distributor that makes the process to get them into the country and standardizes prizes on the figures as their come out which makes pre sales relatively safe. But as far as I know good smile doesn’t have an equivalent so I would need to think about it

Also… I bought a past Utena figure a lifetime ago but i had to sell it. :( I know it went to a good home but such is life.

Also cannot believe I haven't seen any hype on tumblr for the newly announced Utena Nendoroid!!!!

Prolific animator Yoshihiko Umakoshi (馬越嘉彦) is best known for his work in shonen anime like My Hero Academia, however he also worked on several episodes of Kunihiko Ikuhara's 2011 Mawaru Penguindrum. During this time, he gave us this Revolutionary Girl Utena piece, itself a bonus purchase privilege poster at Mandarake stores for the purchase of Monthly Anime Style (月刊アニメスタイル) magazine, Vol 5.

It was first published as the full-color feature of the Hardcore of Utena's Supplement booklet in 2013. The Hardcore of Utena is a massive, two volume artbook released at Comiket 84, where you could receive this booklet with the purchase of the larger volumes. Mostly miscellaneous sketch art that features elsewhere, I nevertheless had it scanned already and felt like, hell, let's just finish it and get up there for you! So here are the scans of the 44 page booklet, or if you want the even larger versions, or a download of the lot, I also uploaded it to the Internet Archive! That's gonna be a pattern, y'all. ;)

I don’t know why that affected me so strongly, but I’m watching a youtube video on disasters on Lake Huron, and the first one involves a coal freighter that was lost in the White Hurricane of 1913 called the SS Argus. Everyone on the ship was lost. But it’s mentioned that the captain’s body washed up later, and was found without a life jacket. So they thought, based partly on testimony of another ship that thought they saw them go down, that it just happened too fast for him to have time to get his jacket. But then another body was found, that of the second cook, and she was found wearing the life jacket marked ‘captain’. And that’s …

It didn’t work. It didn’t save her. But it’s so very possible that he spent his last moments alive trying to save someone else, one of his crew, and they probably both knew that it wouldn’t work, that there wasn’t a lot of hope in a blizzard on the lakes in November, but he tried … he tried anyway. Even if it did nothing but maybe make her body easier for her family to find.

You know that Mr Rogers thing of ‘look for the helpers’? How many times has someone, facing the end, done something tiny and fragile and maybe hopeless just to try and help someone else? Whether it works or not. How many people went to their graves at least trying?

That has to say something about us. As a people. As monstrous as we sometimes (perhaps often) are, so many times we were also …

Whoever saves one life, saves the whole world.

And sometimes you can’t save one life, sometimes it doesn’t work, sometimes there’s no getting out of this for anyone, but … try anyway. Because it matters anyway.

And maybe no one will ever know. But maybe also some day more than a century down the line, maybe some idiot will be crying into her coffee because of what you died trying.

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either

The strangest thing would be that a 2020s Usagi could not be able to use computers and it wouldn't be weird... technology went through weird directions people...

If anything has taught me El Bulbo is that a cape more than qualifies you for heroism. No matter what everyone else says.

So yes... a cape was the missing ingredient. the animation budget not being able to afford one doomed her

Is that why Utena can never be Anthy's prince? Because she doesn't wear a cape? (Considering how it's Anthy who changes Utena into a duelist uniform, you'd think she'd add one...) xP

Indeed! That is exactly why.

So now we all know why things went so much more smooth and nice for Utena in the manga.

See, manga!Utena doesn’t fuck around, she knows what a prince is. She knows that being a prince means wearing that cape and working that cape.

Hence why manga!Utena gets this

While anime!Utena gets this
