Oo! So exciting! My last re-watch was great, but kind of a bummer because I feel so obligated to get through the whole series quickly. It would be amazing to have a week's worth of commentary on each episode.

Any day is fine with me!

Yeah, I'm thinking a day in the weekend would be best too.

Oh, wow, 10 months is a long time.. But I agree, some people don't have much time and 1 episode a week would be an easier commitment for them.

I'm fine with doing either 1, 2, or maybe even 3 episodes a week. Its really up to you guys though. I'll go with whatever is best for most people. I'm kind of in favor of one episode, less pressure and with the one week of discussion we would get to focus on a single episode at a time, but if others want to do more than I'm fine with that too.

How about 2 episodes a week?  People could watch them on the same day.   There's not much difference between making them time to watch 30 minutes versus an hour.

I think two episodes a week is good, that way it's not too much, but it'll go by faster.

Does anyone know where they have full episodes online that are subbed? I tried Youtube, but they always loose a part or two per episode.

Count me in!  It was almost time for my annual SKU rewatch anyway.  Two episodes a week seems like a good benchmark; any more might take more commitment than some IRGers have time for, and 10 months is a really drawn out timeframe if we went one episode a week.

For any forum members without access to the DVDs, SlickRick099 has all the subbed episodes uploaded, and all of them are complete, from what I can see.  Some of them are the remastered versions, to boot!  Also chiming in with the others who don't care what day of the week it is.  I have plenty of free time at night to watch and discuss.

My friend (she might be joining us soon) says that you can also get them here, at anime_downloads on livejournal.com .. but you have to join the community first, and the person who posted the downloads ask that you comment if you use them since she has limited bandwich:

When we decide on everything I'll edit the first post to reflect the "rules," and post some of these links for people who need to find episodes. (: Thanks for all the sources everyone.

So far I'm really liking the 2 episodes a week idea, actually. Also, if its okay with everyone, would this sunday be a good start? If not, we can wait for the next week, on a friday or saturday if its preferable.

I'll probably make a post to announce each weekly watching with a screencap or two from each episode. Not saying people can't watch the episode(s) ahead (especially if I'm late posting) but just to kind of separate the discussions from the previous episodes to the next ones. I might update the thread title to reflect what episode(s) we're on too. Sound okay?

Edit: Wait.. I guess you can't edit/change the thread title? Oh well, the first post then.

I'm in on this. Also I'd suggest 2 weeks.

You mean two per week?  That sounds like the right pace to me too.  And I haven't watched most of the remasters yet, so it'll be like seeing the show for the first time!  Okay, not quite, but still -- exciting

I use the computer every night before sleepies, so I don't care what day. Though I'll probably appear and disappear alot in it.

Count me in! Two a week sounds great! And as far as watching online goes, I think that this guy on YouTube has all of SKU subbed and remastered uploaded and is currently uploading the dub as well.

Okay. So far it looks like 2 episodes a week. Is this sunday okay for everyone to start or do you want to wait?

I do remember someone posting up all 39 episodes of the remastered version subbed on youtube.  What was the username?  Slickrick009?  Cannot remember -but if you type Utena remaster into the search bar you should find them pretty easily.

So we have to watch 1 and 2 after Sunday or before?

Anticipatory Grieving related to Saionji's embarrassing defeat as evidenced by silly whining noises whenever Saionji looks displeased

Okay, so far it looks like its okay with people, so let's start!


Episode 01 "The Rose Bride"







Episode 02 "For Whom the Rose Smiles"





(as always, got the screencaps from Empty Movement. Wasn't sure if I could direct link or not so I re-uploaded them just in case)

So you have from today until next sunday to watch episode 1 and 2 and post any comments/discussions.

My roommates are fighting over the Xbox to play Fable, so I might not be able to watch until this evening.
