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

Ikuhara, where the hell is he?

Thought I may as well ask this question here.  So does anyone have the slightest clue what ever happened to him? Last shred of evidence of him still existing in our relatiy was the fact he did the storyboarding to the OP of some anime this year.  However, that's nothing terrible substantial.  If he isn't work on anime right now, what else is he doing?  Running a pet shot?  Searching for the Abominable Snowman?  Does anyone know?

Wow thanks!  He is doing something after all, and remastering Utena is definitely a big something!  Also seems like there may be another project on the horizon due to that art of that girl on his site.

Re: Ikuhara, where the hell is he?

Ikuhara is hunting landsquid in the south of France, riding gallantly a-monkeyback and armed only with a spear and his teeth, because he is that damn good.

An epic battle is sure to ensue.

((This thread is now about crazy things Ikuhara may or may not be doing.))

Re: Ikuhara, where the hell is he?

Ikuhara has frozen himself naked in a block of ice next to Tokyo Tower until the Chinese New Year.  To keep warm he is doing backflips and curing world hunger.  When he emerges he will begin sharing the meaning of life with us, then say "Oh my God I'm naked!" and pass out from embarrassment.

Ikuhara is facing down the demons of Mount Midoriyama in Sasuke/Ninja Warrior. He is sure to become the third Ninja Warrior!

Re: Ikuhara, where the hell is he?

At this very moment, Ikuhara is stalking the rose garden.


The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

Re: Ikuhara, where the hell is he?

Right now, as we speak, Ikuhara is working on another anime character where he can use the red, purple, and black color scheme


Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again.
It's so far and out of sight.
I really need someone to talk to and nobody else

Re: Ikuhara, where the hell is he?

Ikuhara is riding on Movie!Akio's shoulders. He holds a fishing pole, at the end of which is the castrated Chairman's tower; while he shouts "Dance! Dance!" over and over again.

Ikuhara is jumping out of trees and scaring 12 year old girls by trying to teach them how to make dolls fight each other just by wearing helmets.

Angelic Layer.  Now where's my poptart!?

Ikuhara is, right now, hanging out in an apartment with Yu~ki of Malice Mizer, discussing how much longer they'll hang around doing a load of nothing because they're amused by how it annoys me.

Ikuhara is currently working as a baby seal fluffer for a documentary in the Arctic. How did you think they got those baby seals so fluffy anyway?
