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

The Utena donation center.

Now I know there are members out there who own the "Holy Shit!" package of SKU, plus extra!
Then, there are those forum members, who have seen a few, own a few, and know the entire story line.
Both of these groups, most likely own the movie.



Then...there are the losers. The ones who don't own shit, but have attempted to fill their lives with SKU goodness. They lack, what others have. They need, what others know. They want to feel sane in an insane world. They want for once in their life to attend a SKU thread and understand what the members are talking about when they say "Juri and Shiori have much more than a convoluted and lesbian relationship."

This thread is for them. It is a virtual exchange program. Members who have much, rip and zip an episode of SKU for those less fortunate, and im these golden joys to the needy. Each fortunate member, is assigned to an unfortunate member, they must keep in contact and send one episode every time a less fortunate member finishes.
LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR FORUM.

Re: The Utena donation center.

Is the thing that people lack money or DVDs? Because you can get the R1s from Amazon, and I've yet to own a DVD player that isn't multiregional. If it's money then that's a different problem entirely.   

To date I’ve only tracked down one Utena sound track. It said Utena on it…so I bought it, I have not idea what the tracks are or anything … cos they are all in Japanese…

Re: The Utena donation center.

What does the cover look like? You should be able to tell which one it is here.

(Although I have one that's not currently listed. It was a recent release collecting a number of semi-random songs with a green cover.)

I have that one too.  I believe it's not listed on the site as it's a compilation.  Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else's Utena music site from alt.fan.utena...  I have the 4 that were released in North American by Geneon as well, although I should probably consider getting spare copies soon, just to be safe.  They get a lot of use.

TRSI has them all for $6 a pop.

Helpful hint for anyone wanting copies of OSTs 1, 2, 4, or 8. emot-keke

Linky for those who've never shopped there before.  For the uninitiated, RightStuf is a very reputable and reliable anime vendor in the US.

That's where I bought the original copies. emot-keke  I shop at TRSI...um...way more than I probably should.  Until we realized we were buying a house, I was spending $200-$500 per month on that site... O_o;  I'm currently waiting until we close on the house before buying stuff like second copies of SKU soundtracks.

Oh wow, do they ship internationaly? I can't seem to find anything about delivery.

Edit:

For first time international customers, for security purposes we require a copy of your a form of ID (can be drivers license, passport, etc) which shows your address along with a photocopy of BOTH sides of your credit card.

Aww shit. They expect people in different countries to mail them that? They must be retarded, that's not the sort of thing I could ever send out... plus I don't have a credit card!

And they need some one there to sign for it? That's impractical.... but they might ship it to your work address... except they wouldn't ship it to mine. grrrrr

Re: The Utena donation center.

Right Stuf can be a bit of a hassle for international customers, unfortunately.  I think they also have fairly high international shipping rates compared to other places.  They're fantastic for those of us in NA though.  Great selection, some of the best sales ever (come on, they have sales where you can purchase 25 DVDs or CDs from a given distributor for $100!! [Although only on certain DVDs, but it's still a really good selection and a great way to build a collection]) and they also have fantastic customer service.  I've only had one issue (they double-shipped some stuff to me), and with one phone call, it was all settled in a quick and very friendly manner.  But yeah, they suck for international.  If you've got a friend in the US, you might want to beg them to be a proxy buyer for you.

Re: The Utena donation center.

I am hesitant to add my name to the list because adding myself is effectively adding Gio too. I haven't had a chance to discuss this with her, but when I do, we'll be able to tell you what we can ante up.

Re: The Utena donation center.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed already, but to my knowledge there are several reliable torrents available which contain the entire TV series and movie; it's a large download (about 10 GB), but well worth it if you must have the series at your disposal yet are lacking in funds. I don't know what the general attitude towards such things is here, though, so....
