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

'Hey honey, um...why do people keep giving us dirty looks? I thought you said we were brother and sister...'
Heh, nah. We're all pretty big SKU fans.

I kind of almost think that about any male actually cosplaying a male Utena character.. Hmmm. But that Akio is amazing!
And that Kozue and Miki... *drools* I need to cosplay one day.. I want to cosplay Utena one day because I have THE RING and I want to act all heroic, but with my looks I might make a better Shiori or Kozue.

Haha, yeah actually Jodan Kamae (our Saionji,) is who originally got ME into the series, not the other way round, and then it all sort of went insane and now I'm getting an Ohtori rose tattoo before Animazement, oh my dear sweet lord.
But no, seriously, we're the Impossible Dream - a bunch of fangirls who know a bunch of hot dudes who like cosplaying and watch SKU with us and love cosplaying SKU with us.
Their only protests, however, are that they reject some of our.....ideas for posing.
I'll let them keep their shirts on until I get my red convertible. THEN YOUR PROTESTS MEAN NOTHING, GENTLEMEN.

lieutenant tangerine: I like the way you think...I know that I should have gone to Katuscon this year. Damn lazyness and lack of funds. Le Sigh.
Hey if ya'll ever do a photo shoot in the area let me know I'll drop in and assist Touga in getting dressed...
Oh and perhaps someone could rent a prop red convertible...
So welcome to the forums and great cosplay and good luck with your tattoo.

I live in the Southeast. Been going to cons for like 9 years now and we never have many Utena cosplayers. I cosplayed casual Akio years back. My plan is to make duelist Akio this year or next. And, sorry, I'm not a male.

I still want to cosplay as Anthy some day... Or attempt to cosplay as Anthy, anyway. xD
Offline
Right there with you BRV. I still say we should do GothLoli Anthy and Akio ( even though I'm hella short to be Akio)
Offline
If we could ever hook up, I'd be totally game, Anji We shall do zis one day!
I also still want to do a Yoruichi and Soi Fon photoshoot with dollface Teh awesome!

Heheh, the Saionji and Duelist Utena are actually my wife and I.

I've seen some Utena cosplayers throughout the years at the GA cons, though since I'm new to the fandom I'm only now starting to pay attention to them ._.
I'm going to cosplay Mikage someday. I'm bound and determined so hard and fierce, especially since there's talk of doing an Utena group in the future amongst my friend circle. I could probably pull off others characters too, though Mikage is my wet dream of wet dreams for various reasons.
BTWS, you guys in the OP are amazingness incarnate
Offline
Thanks a lot!
Mikage'd be really awesome to see. I have never seen anyone cosplaying Mikage.

LOL OH GOD THAT VIDEO. My mouth is like a black hole, after I get a little tired of posing at cons I tend to just open it and pretend I'm shooting mouth lazers at people. Again, Things Utena Tenjou and I have in common - spacing out in public and acting stupid. CHECK.
Uh so anyway, cosplay...
I have no words. Bara no Undergarment and I decided Tuesday was as good a night as any for vodka.
And then we put on costumes. Me, her Movie Anthy and her, her husband's Touga costume.
It was decided that drunk, Myspace angle pictures are probably what Touga does with the Rose Bride anyway.
(DAMMIT why is it my eye that mastered the 'looking through translucent hair' thing apparently and not Touga's!!?)
LOLOL. So these are in no way intended to actually showcase our costumes, we realize they are ridiculous, etc.
More to the point that we felt like SOMEONE needed to appreciate people who get drunk and dress up as Utena characters on a Tuesday.
The conversation devolved quickly, into Greek Myths that involve Akio's stash of Goldfish crackers, and General Saionji's Deep Fried Owl Meat.
And like, rose petals and stuff, eternity, etc.

lol, that is pretty awesome. I always say SKU goes best with Vodka... Not many people can master the one eye peeping through locks of hair thing.
I thought the reactions to that vid were pretty funny. I intended to take pictures, but with all the picture-taking people in front of me, I decided a video would be better.

Maybe the next time you see one you should ask.
I've only seen cosplays on YouTube. Unfortunately I live in a town where anime conventions just don't happen.

Wow excelent Utena cosplay, now i get to post mine and look like a total noob... One thing to say, my poor sword of dios kept breaking but i have some e-poxy on it now, it should hold...
Offline
You guys are kickass. That's just amazing! Kudos to all of you, truly-I bow to your transcendent awesomeness
I'm happy to see Nanami-sama getting her cosplaying due, as well
Despite my lack of time, materials, and (non-virtual) otaku friends normally preventing me from doing such things I managed to make a somewhat recognizable movie Utena cosplay in about 48 hours for Halloween. My wig was awful and no one knew who I was, but it turned out nicely otherwise.

I must say, I like innermuse's Utena costume
