Posting from my phone-so I might miss stuff or have errors.


1. Why did you start reading/watching Revolutionary Girl Utena?
I can not recall precisely how it all came about. I heard whispers about this anime and avoided it as much as possible. One of my friends mentioned the movie a few times to me and said I should watch it, it's beautiful. So I think one day 2007 I watched the movie. Needless to say it did not spark my interest. Some cool things but very bizarre. Then in 2008 I ended up having the Funimation channel for a small block of time a night. They were running SKU, it came on at a perfect time afterwork too- so I said "Eh whatever, I'll try this show out." Ha, didn't take me long to get hooked- I realized later on I should have watched the show 1st and not the movie. Strange though- the movie ruined none of the show because I had forgotten most of the story due to the fact that I didn't understand it. I'm glad I watched the show when I did because if I had watched while I was younger it would have had a negtive effect on me and in no way I would have appreciated it.


2. Which character would you have sex with and why?

(Everyone is of age or older) When I 1st finished the show it was Anthy (most likely still is) but now at this moment I feel I want to say Utena. Feels strange to say that. Why? I have no other reasons than I like her strength and playfulness. I just wonder how she would be in bed. I think the Akio situation was not a fair assessment.
Side note: As for the reason for Anthy she has experience and probably knows more things than I do. I think she is a major seducer and is probably better than her brother in bed.


3.Your favorite pairing and why!

Ah, has to be Utena and Anthy. When ever they actually get an unspoiled moment together it was like a breath of fresh air. They have a wonderful dynamic.
The close 2nd is Juri and Shiori only because of its tragic and tense nature makes them very interesting.


4. If someone offered you a video tape of your favorite pairing doing romantic things (sex, fluff, whatever) what would you do to get it?

Ah for Utena and Anthy we almost have that (the movie) but I think I'd do nothing, not interested.
Juri and Shiori I MIGHT pay some fee, like I said very tense and tragic.



5. What would you do if you found yourself magically whisked away to the universe of Ohtori Academy?

Granted I retained all knowledge of the place; become Utena's and Anthy's close friend, join the fencing club and try to get on the student councel, enter in the duels and TRY to avoid the Chairman at all cost even though as a duelist I'm under his power. I think I'd come up with a plan to over throw him. Wow I have a feeling that I would not make it out of that school, but what a battle it would be. No regrets.



6. What song do you think fits your favourite character/pairing?

Unlike other animes where I normally have an outside (beyond the OST) that fits characters and situations, I have none for this. Hikari Sasu Niwa/The Sunlit Garden plays every time I think of them.


7. What would your duelling rose color be, and why?
Royal Blue. It's my fav color and to me a color of integrity. Yet blue also carries a well known sorrowful theme.
Suits me well.

8. Are you a prince, a duellist, or a rose bride?
All 3, but more predominantly a prince. If you knew me in real life you'd say a prince or duelist. I'm more half and half really. I feel a prince needs to be a duelist as well to deal with their own problems.
I'm the least a rose bride but my life on the surface shows I've been very passive and submissive in dealing with family. To the point you watch yourself back down from goals in life because of the grasp they hold over you. By nature I'm not that but moreso pushed into that role.

9. Is there any situation in RGU that is similar to something you might have experienced?

Ah my life has been as complex and slightly twisted as some of the plots in the series- nothing exact. Much more of it happened after college than in high school or college.
I relate to Juri (relationship probs) and Utena (nobility) the most.


10. Do you think waffles will make Saiyonji smile?
No, most likely he'd disapprove.

1. Why did you start reading/watching Revolutionary Girl Utena?

Fellow nerds in the 90's kept talking about how awesome it is. Years later, after streaming finally became a viable thing, I concurred.

2. Which character would you have sex with and why?

Oddly enough, Touga. I don't usually swing that way but I have this morbid curiosity of what Akio taught him.

3.Your favorite pairing and why!

Utena/Wakaba. No need to explain my reasoning. The show does that for me.

4. If someone offered you a video tape of your favorite pairing doing romantic things (sex, fluff, whatever) what would you do to get it?

I never really considered Utena and Wakaba cuddling or how it would play out. But, now that it's in my head, I find myself fascinated by it. In an academic sense, of course. Yes, purely academic. No emotional attachment whatso-- What's that behind you!?! *snatch*

Crap... Where can I find a VCR in this day and age?

5. What would you do if you found yourself magically whisked away to the universe of Ohtori Academy?

Return to high school mode and try to find the chess club. People are scary.

6. What song do you think fits your favorite character/pairing?

Can't think what that would be. So I'll instead note a couple songs that work for some other pairings.

Utena/Anthy: Muse - The Undisclosed Desires in Your Heart

Utena/Akio: The Sunday Buckets - Personality

7. What would your dueling rose color be, and why?

I'm definitely not one of the special people of Ohtori. If anything, I'd be singled out as a Black Rose duelist, an incidental side character whose desires are twisted to Nemuro's bidding.

8. Are you a prince, a duelist, or a rose bride? (Interpret this question any way you want.)

I suppose I identify most with a rose bride. Keep your head down. Don't make waves. Just say yes and maybe people will like you. At least until it builds up and inevitably explodes in a soggy mess of emotion.

9. Is there any situation in RGU that is similar to something you might have experienced?

Having been bullied in high school, I always find myself empathizing with Anthy every time the girls accuse her of causing harm to Saionji or Touga or Miki or whomever else. I've been there enough times that her situation is pretty familiar.

The times when I'd had enough and made my sorry flailing attempts at fighting back wound up being turned around on me to become justification for the way I'd been treated before, and reason to continue doing so from then on. It's never like those after school specials where the wimpy kid stands his ground and frightens off the bullies. When your usual MO is to grin and bear it, and you're outnumbered besides, doing that only makes things worse. In the end, there's nothing you can do to escape the cycle except count the days to graduation.

10. Do you think waffles will make Saiyonji smile?

You'd think he'd prefer something more savoury like fried eggs.

1. Why did you start reading/watching Revolutionary Girl Utena?
It was a combination of my quest for yuri-themed anime and because SKU is often compared to NGE, an anime that means a lot to me.

2. Which character would you have sex with and why?
Mikage. Even Nemuro, actually, but more Mikage. As to why, it has a lot to do with the cool self-possession and poised intelligence laced with just enough a veneer of danger to make it truly attractive.

3.Your favorite pairing and why!
A bit against all odss I don't actually have one, at least not dor the series. I love movie!Utena/movie!Anthy, though.

4. If someone offered you a video tape of your favorite pairing doing romantic things (sex, fluff, whatever) what would you do to get it?
I may not have a favorite pairing but I'd kill for some footage of precisely went on those naked, rolling around the bed sessions with Akio, Touga and Saionji.


5. What would you do if you found yourself magically whisked away to the universe of Ohtori Academy?
I am not sure, actually, perhaps become a Shadow Girl given I'd be a meta-character, in a sense? Kashira, kashira.

6. What song do you think fits your favorite character/pairing?

Akio/Anthy: Katatonia- The Parting

Saionj/Wakaba: Marina & The Diamonds- Lies

Anthy/Utena: Stephanie- Friends

Mikage: Katatonia- Dissolving Bonds

Anthy: Garbage- Use Me

7. What would your dueling rose color be, and why?
Purple. I always had a deep affinity to purple.


8. Are you a prince, a duelist, or a rose bride? (Interpret this question any way you want.)
A duelist. I distrust princely characters almost as much as I distrust overly passive individuals.


9. Is there any situation in RGU that is similar to something you might have experienced?
Not so much any particular situation but the themes resonate with my life.


10. Do you think waffles will make Saiyonji smile?

Did Anthy make them? If so then yes, until he actually takes a bite of them. Then...not so much.

I'm bored and I'm new here, so...

1. Why did you start reading/watching Revolutionary Girl Utena?
I knew it was a classic, and a classic with yuri elements no less, so I always felt sort of obligated to watch it. I put it off for a while because the aged art style and character designs were kind of a turn-off (they've really grown on me since then) and I'd had less than stellar experiences with anime classics before. Much to my surprise, I was hooked by the first episode.

2. Which character would you have sex with and why?
If I were looking for really emotional sex, probably Juri. Aside from that, probably Akio, hehe.

3. Your favorite pairing and why!
Juri/Shiori. I could write volumes about why I love their broken (but in my opinion, ultimately redeemed) relationship so much. They're both head over heels for each other, but they're both so messed up that they end up breaking each other's hearts instead of being together. Oh, the tragedy. 

4. If someone offered you a video tape of your favorite pairing doing romantic things (sex, fluff, whatever) what would you do to get it?
I would kill, there is not enough Juri/Shiori content out there! 

5. What would you do if you found yourself magically whisked away to the universe of Ohtori Academy?
Join the fencing club, work my ass off to impress Juri-sempai, become a duelist, hook up with Akio...

6. What song do you think fits your favorite character/pairing?
Hmm, maybe "Stuck" by Stacie Orrico. Honestly, a lot of pop songs about unfulfilled love work for them.

7. What would your dueling rose color be, and why?
I don't know, indigo is a cool color?

8. Are you a prince, a duelist, or a rose bride? (Interpret this question any way you want.)
Definitely a duelist. I have so many problems in my life and I would totally be one of those fighting for something eternal, that which shines, the power of miracles.

9. Is there any situation in RGU that is similar to something you might have experienced?
I can't recall any situations but there are some locations at my college that scream UTENA to me

10. Do you think waffles will make Saionji smile?
Give it blueberry eyes, a syrup smile, and kelp for the hair. Ta-da! It's you, Saionji!

1. Why did you start reading/watching Revolutionary Girl Utena?

I was looking on youtube for a show about a pink-haired girl and I found Utena.

2. Which character would you have sex with and why?

Miki, if he's an adult, because he's not a creepy jerk. Otherwise... Akio cause he's probably great in bed.

3.Your favorite pairing and why!

Touga and Saionji mostly because of their amusing scenes towards the end of the series. Two of my favorite interactions they had were them on the motorcycle and bicycle.

4. If someone offered you a video tape of your favorite pairing doing romantic things (sex, fluff, whatever) what would you do to get it?

I wouldn't. That seems wrong

5. What would you do if you found yourself magically whisked away to the universe of Ohtori Academy?

Try to escape as quickly as possible before shit goes down.

6. What song do you think fits your favorite character/pairing?

For Touga and Saionji, "Graduation (Friends Forever)" by Vitamin C

7. What would your dueling rose color be, and why?

Pink or Yellow. They're my favorite colors!

8. Are you a prince, a duelist, or a rose bride? (Interpret this question any way you want.)

I think I'm all three at times but I try to be a prince.

9. Is there any situation in RGU that is similar to something you might have experienced?

Every time I make a big change in life or travel I feel like Anthy when she leaves the Ohtori academy.

10. Do you think waffles will make Saiyonji smile?

There's a 50/50 change. He's a bit unpredictable.

I'm not sure if I answered these or not before, but sure I'll take a shot!

1. Why did you start reading/watching Revolutionary Girl Utena?
Pretty sure it was a suggestion from my sister, and judging from the few bits of analysis I ended up taking a look at, it seemed interesting.

2. Which character would you have sex with and why?
Uh... ummm? Not really anyone, just because I don't want to risk getting involved in too much drama. Though I'd be curious about Akio, even though it's a terrible, terrible idea...

3.Your favorite pairing and why!
I support Utena and Anthy on a "they deserve to be together again in any positive form" level, but Touga and Saionji, just for the fact that they are literally a melodramatic treat to watch them on screen together. Also Wakaba/Saionji hurts so good...

4. If someone offered you a video tape of your favorite pairing doing romantic things (sex, fluff, whatever) what would you do to get it?
I don't know, ask? To be honest, I probably wouldn't feel comfortable being that close to secretly finding out practical strangers's personal lives like that. But I do know that literally asking them if I could check it out would make everyone feel weird. That includes Touga most likely inviting me for their next tryst. Oh, you know he'd do that.

5. What would you do if you found yourself magically whisked away to the universe of Ohtori Academy?
After the shock of being poofed into a high school and having to deal with feeling old, I might sort of check out the architecture a bit. It definitely seems like Ohtori would be impressive to say the least to see with your own, real eyes. Also, I'd probably be in the library for a while, just to see what sort of books they have.
I'm not sure if the universe would be symbolically drawn to me enough so my emotional issues manifest themselves physically, but it'd be worth it to find out if it was.

6. What song do you think fits your favorite character/pairing?
Huh... I'm honestly drawing a bit of a blank here. Though I'd say Cruel by Thomas Dolby might work for Wakaba and Saionji a bit.

7. What would your dueling rose color be, and why?
Maybe a chartreuse? To put it bluntly, it's a pretty awkward color for a rose to be, and I'd be a pretty awkward duelist. Though, being in between yellow and green isn't that bad, if it meant I'd be a wild card among wild cards.

8. Are you a prince, a duelist, or a rose bride? (Interpret this question any way you want.)
I'd say a duelist trying to fight against their rose bride-equse tendencies.

9. Is there any situation in RGU that is similar to something you might have experienced?
Oh boy, I relate to Wakaba a lot more than I should, just to say the least.

10. Do you think waffles will make Saiyonji smile?
Short answer, probably not. He'd probably be more confused than anything else, but I'd figure he'd appreciate the carbs.

1. Why did you start reading/watching Revolutionary Girl Utena?
I'm into subversive magical girl stories, and I've heard about RGU being really weird and cool, but I don't watch much anime, so I was really skeptical on trying it. I saw the first vol of the manga in the library, so I read it and thought it was alright. Then I forgot about it, but then I saw the dub on my fake-Netflix Tubi Tv, and I fell in love over the next six weeks. I don't regret it at all (yes, even watching the dub over the sub).

2. Which character would you have sex with and why?
I don't like thinking about myself in sexual situations at all. Probably 'cause I'm still a minor.

3.Your favorite pairing and why!
Honestly, I like everything. The drama, what goes unspoken, the subtext, I think i support everything that can be reasonably supported by the show.

4. If someone offered you a video tape of your favorite pairing doing romantic things (sex, fluff, whatever) what would you do to get it?
If it had the same rating as the show (as in not pornographic), I might pay for it, it's more content after all.

5. What would you do if you found yourself magically whisked away to the universe of Ohtori Academy?
I'd probably stalk everyone with not-brown hair and troll them as well as befriend them. I'd stay away from the chairman though.

6. What song do you think fits your favorite character/pairing?
I don't listen to a lot of music, but while it's not my fave pairing (don't have one) Whitney Houston's You Give Good Love kinda reminds me of Utenanthy.

7. What would your dueling rose color be, and why?
Purple or black? I love every color, but I specifically like the symbolism that comes with purple. Royal, mystical, powerful, me using it is very pretentious, but that's how I am.

8. Are you a prince, a duelist, or a rose bride? (Interpret this question any way you want.)
I'm probably a duelist fighting for more (excitement, companies, hobbies) in general.

9. Is there any situation in RGU that is similar to something you might have experienced?
Wakaba, sadly nothing more than a side character in other's stories.

10. Do you think waffles will make Saionji smile?
If Anthy gives them to him, maybe.
