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

Con Surprise

Just a little something we found at the con! I never expect to see any Utena stuff, much less Akio!

Re: Con Surprise

When I was at harucon 2017 I was genuinely surprised to see an utena cosplay group at the con! Me living in nowhere, Israel, seeing utena fans in person is just mindblowing to me, considering that in Israel the amount os people who have seen the show is maybe less then like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of anime fans in Israel. Also the women who cosplayed Nanami also did a great panel on utena in Buddhist and Hinduist culture, which was also mind blowing to me to have it at the con.
(PS if you are by some chance in the forum then hey,  !!! היית מדהימה. Also the picture was taken by someone on Facebook, not by me)

Oh my gosh, I bought that same thing at a con, but it ended up with Akio being decapitated after a few days of having it on my purse! emot-gonk I think I threw the entire thing away, but I could possibly just have Akio's head as a key chain somewhere, though I'm hoping I threw it away, because that would be merciful. ._.;

Re: Con Surprise

Haha, I definitely would have kept the head. It seems almost more fitting that way. I have one too but I'm trying to decide what to do with it.


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.

Re: Con Surprise

I wanna put mine on something but I'm afraid of losing them somehow, so I'm not sure... He'd probably be headless or worse in no time if I put him on my keys emot-gonk

I also kept his head, though it's not attached to my purse anymore, since I think that might be confusing to people. Actually, I don't have anything attached to my purse now because I'm worried it will break. emot-gonk

Re: Con Surprise

I bought the full set of them off eBay or Amazon at some point.  They take up a tiny corner of my massive Sailor Moon Shrine.
