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

According to TVTropes, Giovanna and Yasha are Big Name Fans
Giovanna and Yasha of Empty Movement have kept alive Revolutionary Girl Utena fandom for years and This Troper points to that site for a revival of that fandom over the last three years when they opened a forum. A member of said forum is also doing a fansub of the Utena rerelease, which will most likely never be seen in America.
Congratulations, you two are right up there with Steve Van Der Ark of the Harry Potter Lexicon and you made it there before Cleolinda Jones, famous for Movies in Fifteen Minutes and her reviews of Twilight!

Good on ya! With all the hard work those two put in, every bit of recognition helps to make it worth it. I'm extremely grateful for the site and how comprehensive it is with scripts and just about every official image you can find. The dedication is amazing. :gets the SKU fuzzies:

Re: According to TVTropes, Giovanna and Yasha are Big Name Fans
I feel like a celebrity. 
I'm honored to have a place in nerd fandom...I love this site and I love this forum, and I wish I had more time lately for both. Nursing school ain't a joke. Well...it's a joke, but a tedious and time consuming one, I'm afraid. 
Not to say I've abandoned either. There's a 70% done huge site update on my hard drive. 
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

Work and dedication don't go unnoticed. "If you sing loud and clear, someone passing by will surely hear you"
Isn't it? You two deserve to pat yourselves on the back for continuing the Utena fandom. Satyr, too!

Re: According to TVTropes, Giovanna and Yasha are Big Name Fans
You're right, Riri-kins. The first result is Wikipedia's article on the anime; the second is its article on the Lithuanian city. But if you Google the phrase "empty movement" (without quotes), the main site comes up as the very first hit.
and 
to Gio and Yasha for making such a successful website and community!
