GOGAI, GOGAI!!! COME GET UTENA KIBBLES

It's September 3rd. It's 1997. Princess Diana just died, and that's very important to lots of people. You, however, are chewing your nails to nubs waiting for the climax of Revolutionary Girl Utena's Black Rose Saga. It's going to air today.

But like any good fan, you're already one step ahead, because you've spent the last couple days thumbing through Animedia's September issue supplemental, the 100 page Duelist Bible. Strangely, it appears to be in English??? Wow! Thanks Nagumo for translating, Ayu Ohseki for Japanese editing, teasot for proofreading, and ME, FUCKIN' VANNA, for scanning and scanlating this massive booklet!

We've got duel summaries! We've got character design sheets! We've got a school directory! We've got THE DUEL RULES. We've got cast interviews! WE'VE GOT THAT CHU-CHU DOLL CRAFT GUIDE. Check it ALL out here, in the Something Eternal Bibliothèque! You can flip through it page by page here, or you'll also find on the page a link to a PDF version for your at home viewing/archiving needs!!

This gargantuan tome really gets it across that in 1997, you didn't have a fandom wiki or on demand viewing. If you didn't catch and record the episodes, a booklet like this becomes a critical tool for keeping track of everything that's happened up to now, and is also a way for the series creators to tap fans on the shoulder and draw attention to details they want seen but not explained in the show directly. For example, this drops at the close of the BRS, but points out Touga's sword isn't the same in Keiko's duel and in the opening sequence. A thing we don't see cashed in until MUCH later!

This has been a true and absurd labor of love on my part. I even rescanned the booklet from my originals because their quality (decades old lmao) was not worth scanlating. This took a ludicrous amount of time, and has been a main project of mine for over a year now!! I'm so happy to have gotten it done in time for the Something Eternal Watch-Along thread, and I really really hope everyone finds something cool and interesting about it! The really cool thing is this now completes the set of magazine supplementals by the big three magazines made for Utena during its run. We now have fully scanlated this, as well as Animage's June Utena Dossier, and Newtype's November Utena? (Oh My!) UTENA! Take a stroll through memory lane, be they yours or someone else's!

As always, if you like this kind of content, consider supporting us on Patreon! Especially right now, a holy grail acquisition is in the works that I will bleed to share with y'all. More on that later, lmao.

Revolutionize the World! Love, Vanna

Look what I dug up!

I used to be obsessed with Newtype USA, though I rarely bought the magazines because of the cost. At $9.95, they would be a steal nowadays.

This issue had Fooly Cooly postcards! The coolest character designs but I could never make it through the OVAs—a little too manic for me. :/

The cover story: .Hack stuff! Another series I never finished (.hack//Sign—I don't think I've watched or played anything else). The OP, art design, and whole "trapped-in-a-game" story (before SAO) were cool, though!

L: I'm pretty good with recognizing anime but this one is not in my memory bank at all. Anyone watch this series? Was it good?

R: Oh boy, look at all the dead companies here: Central Park Media, Suncoast, Fry's, and—my prediction—Best Buy eventually, too. That Ebert quote got a TON of play back in the day, too. I'm pretty sure I used it in more than one article.

More FLCL. Any fans out there?

And yet ANOTHER show I never finished. The colors and designs in Witch Hunter Robin were A+, but I got bored and dropped the series around maybe episode 15...

If y'all like these, I'll post some more photos another time. I only made it about 10% of the way through this Newtype USA issue!

Readers new and seasoned. THANK YOU all for rocking with OT/NT for all of these years now. I started OT/NT in 2012 and it's still going strong. We have reached 100,000 reblogs and have over 9,600 readers. You all have stuck out with me here for all of these year even though I have been absent. And that I am TRULY sorry for.

The continued activity here have made me realize that I have made a mistake and should have continued to scan and blog. So, OT/NT will be coming back. Not only is it coming back but I will be expanding on the content. Here on tumblr, the focus will still be on scans but I will cross post content from YouTube. YouTube/video content will be mix of anime and anime adjacent/Japanese physical media related topics that will be in various forms (books, magazines, VHS, etc.).

I hope you all still continue to read and support my efforts to bring you all the cool anime physical media content from the past. This time around, we're back like it's 2012.

Thanks again family and I will see you all VERY soon!

Spreads from Newtype magazine, Febuary and March 2001

December 1997 saw Revolutionary Girl Utena come to its finale, and the anime magazines of the era were hyped to hype it! Newtype gave it the December cover and first pages, with multiple spreads of new art and analysis!

As I always do, I also scanned other Utena-relevant pages! The voice actress Christmas party has some familiar faces, including Tomoko Kawakami, Yuka Imai, and Kotono Mitsuishi! The episode guide and ratings list, as I've done for Newtype's entire 1997 run, are also here. My strange devotion to scanning the adverts and merchandise pages continues, as does the steady stream of VINTAGE FANARTS!

If you're wondering about the NEW MUSICAL DROPPING AT THE END OF 1997, there's an announcement here, also!! (We mean this one!)

Finally, Utena and her new cover art feature in the month's extra bonus Christmas labels!

If you like absolute loads of Utena magazine scans, the Bibliothèque is the place for you! And if you want to join our happy little FORUM, Something Eternal, you can come watch the final three episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena with us in our weekly watch thread!!!
