Did you ever finish Revolutionary Girl Utena? I wanna her your thoughts about it!

I recently did a rewatch with a lesbian BFF (her first time). I wish I could send pictures because I have an extremely hilarious set of selfies I took during the finale of her screaming her head off while I smile and flash a peace sign. That's gay + lesbian solidarity.

I really love it. Didn't really get it the first run-through, got it the second time (watching feels like playing a rogue-like in a way). I don't have much new to say that other sapphic writers haven't already talked about. It's at once a really dense piece of media that demands your attention and analysis and a really dumb anime that Ikuhara saw in a dream. The movie is absolutely gorgeous. SPOILERS: When Utena asks to see something eternal and Dios shows her Anthy. When Utena remembers she became a prince not to embody Dios but to save Anthy. When Utena opens the door and truly sees Anthy for the first time and utters through tears, "At least, we meet..." When we finally see that Anthy and Utena were secretly holding hands in the photo. Absolutely wrecks me every time.

Funnily enough, I have an unfinished Juri illustration collecting dust. I should finish that soon.
