2. Favorite episode (bonus: favorite scene in it)

Well to start I think in a show like Utena my favorite episodes and scenes have to be the ones that left an impression on me.

For a bit of context, I watched the whole show with a friend and neither of us had seen it before so we were all just constantly pausing to give each other our thoughts.

Back to the question, I think my favorite episodes are Her Tragedy and The Romance of the Dancing Girls simply because of how well tied everything felt. It was like domino fall and everything was in the right place and the tension of certain parts were perfect. And of course I really was missing more tension with Nanami specifically, seeing her be the only apparently normal person in the room for once was refreshing.

But what stayed the most with me about those episodes were the phone calls. During all of them I kept saying how annoying they were getting and who on earth could be the girl behind them, then on the last call my friend said that she thought it could be a play on Nanami herself as a child calling for her brother and I agreed. Then Nanami asks who is the person behind the call, the tone shifts and the voice says “The End of the World”

I died there and never recovered.

10. Favorite scene from the movie

Might be a bit too sappy but the dancing scene has never left my mind, obviously other scenes impacted me more, like the reveal of Touga being dead or the whole Akio thing, and the whole car thing.

But my favorite will always be the dance, everything from animation, music, lighting, reflections, the flowers with the water. Everything is beautiful and it really is what I was left wishing from the dance in that one episode in the party, but this time with budget and I just have to watch the scene whenever I'm feeling down.

17. Post-canon headcanons

Nanami in the last episode of the show is the last day before leaving the school. Her and Touga go no contact and they have to say a last goodbye, they hug, a real hug for the first time and never contact each other again for their own sake.

Touga then asks Saionji for help cutting his own hair and Saionji keeps the bow Touga used during Kendo practices and they take their last year in the academy sharing a dorm so Touga doesn’t live in his parents house anymore.

Nanami maintains contact with her old friends for a while but in her new school she starts her new life from zero and makes friends again but she no longer feels the need for them to be servants. She even learns how to cook, she’s actually really good at it.

As for Utena, when he recovers he starts using masculine pronouns, cuts his hair and keeps playing basketball. I think he would do that even before Anthy finds him tbh.

Anthy I think would be interested in crops, instead of flowers and roses she would like to prepare food and actually learn how to cook and when she gets healthy enough even start practicing sports like she said she wanted to in that curry episode.

20. If you've ever made fanart or written fanfiction for the show, which piece do you like the most? Alternatively, feel free to shout out someone else's work

I have tried writing utena fanfiction for a while but I’m still not confident enough so I’ll go with my fanart

The first one is this Utena and Anthy one, based on the painting of La Belle Dame sans merci of Frank Dicksee. I gave UTENA the armor and weapon she uses in the opening and Anthy and longer version of the dress she wore as a child and the stairs in the last episodes. The poem is about a fairy condemning a knight after seducing him and just went with it. Plus the swords ofc

The other one I would choose is my Touga and Akio one. I did put a bunch of details that I didn't think most people would care about, it was just for fun.

Apart from my interpretation of Akio being at least 40, and being with his shirt open. They are both in the car at night. The constellation on the background is the one for the Dragon as Touga fits into the role of the dragon in both the play and the trope itself. The big bad in the first arc revealed to be a servant to the actual big bad.

He stares at both Akio and the viewer and hold his own camera. This camera is worse compared to Akio in the show, he owns a professional one to use for his photos with Utena and Anthy, that's why in the text I put ‘If you keep up like this you will get a better camera'. If Tough keeps imitating Akio he will truly end up like him.

imagining a college au with jason. he’s carrying your bag because u overpack your backpack and it’s hurting your shoulders. the two of you get overpriced tea and coffee to romanticize school and study with each other but never truly get anything done because you have to talk about the newest book release and listen to the couple breaking up in the study room next door. he waits for ur classes to get done, bringing a small snack to share. he purposely brings headphones that still have the wires connected to share with u because you mentioned it once that you would want to experience the closeness of it with someone special. he’s there when your water bottle leaks and it spills all over you, he doesn’t want you feeling the pressure of the attention, so he splashes the water on himself too and the two of u are walking in damp clothes, laughing, arm in arm as strangers wonder how the two of u ended up like that. he helps you look for your favorite pen that u lost in the library. he loves the way ur face morphs into concentration and pokes at u with his pen when he wants ur attention again. he prefers sitting across from you because he wants to be the first person you see when you look up from your laptop.

pt. 2 here cause i’m delusional lol

Listen I've said before but there should have been more focus on Kakashi being Five when his ninja career started like do You know how tiny Five is. He's Little. Picture it Minato goes to meet him and expects a ten year old only to feel a tug on his pants and there's this barely not a toddler standing at attention perfectly. He maybe reaches Minatos knees. Kakashi garrots someone and then asks Minato if he can please lift him up to wash his hands bc he can't reach the sink. Minato has to carry extra special Made weapons because should Kakashi find himself without his Minatos weapons would not in fact fit in his hands. He has to stand on tiptoes to give ninja reports. He's Five thats Tiny. Someone offered him the kids menu at Shinobi Food Place and Minato barely curved the killer intent by promising extra training. Kishimoto pick up the phone this could have been so much funnier and no less tragic.
