I think it's creepy during the Black Rose arc where the duelists are losing it in the elevator. And if you watch it in the english dub it's sorta creepier to hear Yugi-Oh say "Deeper..." simply because you expect that magician card to jump out and attack the duelists.

Seconding this

Thirded!

One of my other favorites: Ep. 26, Miki's new step-mom.



I think I did a double-take (triple?) and rewinded several times to make sure I saw what I thought I saw.

What freaked me out more then anything was the look on Kozue's face when she pulled the sword from Miki. *jibblie, jibblie*

I actually stopped watching the show after I saw that episode. I was so disgusted with it that I decided I was done. It represents to me one of the boldest choices made in the entire show, but the first time through I could NOT handle it.

...That's the episode that made me know for sure I had to publically worship the show in some way. Am I bad?

No. I had told myself that evening that I wouldn't watch anymore that night and go to sleep, but that actually made me stay up even later.

Because I'm too lazy to get out my DVDs and my memory fails me, what scene is in that episode that's so objectionable again?

I get chills during The Barefoot Girl when you see the frame of Touga riding in Akio's car, clutching Utena's shoe in his hands. Everything about that shot rubs me in the worst way. The fact that we can't see Touga's face, the positioning of his fingers, the lighting, everything.

Also, in The Love that Blossomed in Wintertime, my skin crawls when the flower atop the cactus held by a bare-chested Touga blooms. The sound of the Student Council elevator in the backgroud does not improve matters.

No real explanation for either. I guess Touga just creeps me out frequently.


Oh, and this shot is the epitome of SKU creepiness.

Yeah, I think Anthy's Gendo glasses would freak my shit out something fierce, too.

And I haven't gotten to that point in the series yet.

Ah yes... we can't forget Anthy Ikari, truly a chilling sight.  She's in charge of NERV when Gendo's away, you know.

Oh, I believe it all right...

* Anthy with the candelabra.

*Anthy and Utena talking about posioning each other. Gives me the chills everytime. Esp. in the original Japanese. They're so calm.

*Anthy with that HUGE knife/saw cutting the ice. And then when she goes to hide it behind her back.

* In the first arc, Saionji's episode, where the scene keeps cutting from blue skies to the flashback dark scene of the storm over the church. Something element of the architecture carries over to the flashback shot and the juxtaposition is creepy. 

*When you find out that Mitsuru is actaully planning all those attacks on Nanami so he can save her.

I actually found that funny and cute. I guess that makes me sick

Sick is when you enjoy the episode where they're reading his diary and the sheet falls off

Quoted for truth.  The part where they enter the church, and see the coffins...and there is the large shadow of a cross laying across them.  To me, the cross' shadow image looks like a great darkness cutting through and dividing up the scene, representing the division between Touga and Saionji that is instigated by what they find inside one of the coffins, a little girl whose situation and attitude link back into the themes of death and *religion commonly associated with crosses.  Add to that Saionji's adorable little-boy voice protesting and Touga's indifference to it...and....*shivers*.  I find it both creepy and horribly depressing.

*Religion itself presented as an example of or being symbolic of the theme of dreams vs. reality, fairytales and pre-determined paths, and more specifically for Saionji, the promise of life after death, eternity.  (Blah blah blahI'mrepetitiveblah blah blah blah).

I guess I'm in the same boat as Hiraku (albiet for different reasons). If this is the case, I'm a sick individual.
