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

Because I assume Akio and Anthy's power is limited to Ohtori. Or maybe not?
I think their sphere of influence is more a mental thing than a physical border. Nanami leaves Ohtori looking for that blasted silly curry and yet doesn't immediately come to her senses upon leaving. I think it's perfectly possible to leave the school and still be in the coffin. Akio might leave the school after the series but I bet he'll stay exactly the way he is.

I don't know if this would qualify as a deleted scene as such but DAMN! I wish that a scene like this was included at the end of Ep 39.
NO. You don't do that to Akio.
...I wonder how you'd preserve an item like that for uh...personal use.
Also seconding more background for Nanami and Touga. I really, really wonder how their adoption went and why. Orphans? Parents sold them? Why adopt children if you're going to ignore them? (Trophy kids.)
I'd also love to see how Akio and Anthy started screwing. Who started it, why, was there mutual consent, was he still kinda Dios? MY MIND IT BREAKS

Why you tan it into leather of cause and after the tanning is finished you can insert something smooth and hard inside to help it keep it in a 'useful' shape.
With the finished product you can to your hearts content.

I've always imagined the deleted scene in my head from the first episode when Saionji said he wasn't the one who posted up Wakaba's letter oh so conveniently for everyone to see. Gee, I wonder who would have access to Saionji's trash can? *side glance at Anthy*
And as a Juri fan I always want more with her. She briefly mentions having a sister in episode 39 which I've always been curious about, especially considering how messed up all other family dynamics are in the show. I also would've liked a Ruka prologue, about when he and Juri got along and how the circumstances played out so that he returned to Ohtori.

OMG I'd never thought of that. Excellent point, though... come to think of it, it doesn't seem *quite* in Saionji's character to do that sort of thing, does it? I don't think Saionji would choose quite that way of humiliating someone -- and besides, we see half the female body of the campus fangirling over him at his duel with Touga, so Wakaba's can't be the first florid love letter he's received. Anthy and Akio, on the other hand, have an excellent motive for drawing Utena into the duels. Hmm. Yeah, I can believe it was Anthy.
Personally, I want to know what happens to the bit-characters before and after their part is played. Does Tatsuya stay on campus? Where was Ruka for the first two seasons really? Also, if Akio isn't really a big fan of stars, what illusions does he personally like creating in the plane'arium?

Mikage fishing Juri's locket out of the middle of that lake. Oh, he probably magically voodoo-ed it out via his convenient Mamiya Bride, but it is such an amusing image.
...I'd pay good money for that. Seriously. ^___^;;
I'd love to see what happened to the real Mamiya, although more out of an intellectual curiosity about the timeline of events surrounding the arson of what became Nemuro Memorial Hall; was Mamiya dead before or after the fire? I'd also like to know how long Keiko actually lasted as one of Touga's "little friends," and then as a total random aside I'd love to see Akio playing Freecell on that little computer of his at the end there. Because we all know that was what he was really doing.

Well, Tatsuya can be seen at the beginning of episodes 30 (talking to Wakaba about first kisses), and at the end of 39 (...hanging out with Wakaba), so he pretty clearly stays on campus.

Speaking of that scene.. did anyone notice that Touga's silhouette lacked genitals? Not that they can probably show them, of course, but it still amused me.

Thats easy to explain: Akio got them! How better to keep Touga under his thumb (We really need to get a cheeky stick your tongue out smilie)

Actually in the one of the artbooks there is an scene of Anthy with the pink dress hugging Utena as she had seen her in a long time.

I also had never considered this possibility, but it does completely make sense. I just sort of assumed Saionji did it, in large part because I don't really like any of the male characters of this series (with the exception of Akio, best villain ever in my opinion). But really, thinking back, that seemed like an awful lot of 'effort' for him to do it just to humiliate one of his legions. It could also be that Anthy just planted the idea in his head (and he subsequently lied to Utena bacause it wasn't his idea, per se), but I think it's more likely she did it on her own, or did it to make her "prince" "happy" if he mentioned not wanting it to occur again, etc. No better way to stop an action than to publicly humiliate the person doing it.

Here's what I want to see...
I want to see more of Juri's shower scene during the Shiori/Black Rose episode! SHE'S GORGEOUS!
And I also want to watch Miki making a milkshake! I think it would be sooo cuuute! Especially if he messes up, because then he'd get super-kawaii & go into Miki-kun-panic-mode! ^___^

It is indeed! I think it would be interesting to see their relationship, I think it would be much more open than before. But I still think Anthy would be very possessive of Utena since she has left her brother so Utena is the only one she has left. And she'd be more emotional too because then she wouldn't have anything to hide, at least not from Utena.

Hehe, for some reason I think he wouldn't mess up. I think he's good at making those and maybe he'd just have a serious/concentrated expression. Gah, still cute!!

I'd like to see how Akio and Anthy took over/created Ohtori and their lives before that.

I'd like to see how Tsuwabuki became Miki's understudy at the end of the series. In fact, all of those little glimpses into the post-revolution lives of the Duelists were really tantalizing in their brevity- show us more, damn it! (Shiori trying out for fencing, I'd like to see that.)

His entire life is essentially a game of The Sims. Why play it on the computer when reality is the same but better?
And I think we all want to see more of Juri's shower scenes. At least, those of us who have even a passing interest in the ladies, which of course nobody on this forum has.

Myuu... I know he's like had umpteen years of experience with making them, but I figure that once in a while he'll be kinda tired or suddenly have one of those piano flashes & discover that he's forgotten to put the top on the blender!

I want to see akio go arround and arround on the carousel at the end!
