This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Re: Little things you realized after watching this show too damn much

I chortled so hard i spat out my drink.

I threw Nanami episodes aside for so long, but once i took that perspective of Anthy trying to subvert her from a similar fate -- wow it all makes sense.

satyreyes, you're the real mvp<3

If SKU was Gundam, Nanami would have died four times.

Re: Little things you realized after watching this show too damn much

In Polish (not to mention most other Slavic languages), the letter J is pronounced like the English Y. So Juri, spelled with the same Romanji, would be pronounced "Yuri". I'm sure it's not intentional but it's still a spooky coincidence.


Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove.

Does it feel lonely?

Hee... You know, I wouldn't be too sure it's unintentional. I doubt the team was thinking about Slavic languages, but they might well have been conscious of how close those words sounded. Her first episode to herself is called Unfulfilled Juri, and it is about unfulfilled yuri. Just sayin'. emot-smile

In Polish I always pronounce her name "Yuri" since "Juri" sounds a bit off. Or is it just me?

I was thinking about stained glasses for all the duels and then I thought: hey, what if Utena's rose color is not so much about innocence after all as it is all the other 'colors' combined.

Utena and Anthy sleeping by Saturn.

Compare this scene from Macross DYRL.

Similar room-design, same planet, both used for heart-to-heart chats [and again later in the film, albeit not with Saturn]...
