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

Oh my LORD. The DVD cases are enough to make me weep from jealousy, but all of the rough artwork inside the booklet have me sold. I think I need to get this. My poor wallet.

I had a request for some quality scans of the DVD cases, so there they are. If people want, I could probably put the master scans up on sendspace or something. These were scanned to masters at 600 dpi and then cropped to 1000 x 700ish size.
Case 1
Case 2
Case 3
I didn't even notice the rose patterns in the colored parts until I pulled them out again for the scanning.
Edit: corrected a bizarre typo. "If people one..."??

Marvelous! Thank you so much! I didn't realize Kozue and Shiori were in there until I saw these. XD I was wondering why Anthy was acting so *come hither* with Ruka. [/slow]

It really reinforces the idea that Shiori is a stand-in for Anthy.

Concerning the new artwork:
So gorgeous. So in need of cleaning up and stitching together. So making me suicidal.
AND STILL NO NEW AKIO ARTWORK.
You'd think he's a minor character or something.

Omg, SERIOUSLY. I was kind of surprised to see Ruka appear so early.

Well, the first set does cover the first 24 episodes (doesn't that cover at least the first part of Ruka's appearances?) I'm assuming the final disc will feature Akio in some way.

It better!
And no, Ruka is episodes 28 and 29.
Offline
Is Akio really that important in the show? I mean, it would work as well without him, right?

Mylene - how are the episodes themselves? Better sound, better color? Can you notice anything at all in the remastering process?

I don't know--I haven't popped them in yet and it'll likely be awhile before I have a chance to do so.

I bought the remastered OST
It's wonderful, but the bonus cd it's terrible! I don't like the remixes at all.
Also I'm back in time

Mylene, is it possible I could get those fullsize raws? I'd love to be able to put these on the gallery and the fullsize ones would be easier to clean up to the level of what's already on there. (Same for all these scans folks! GIMMIE I LIKE 'EM BIG)

Finally remembered to preorder the second DVD box. I kept planning to, and then forgot it for a week. Thankfully between my coupons and frequent shopper points I was able to just pay $2 for EMS shipping. ^_-

Hypothetical time! Who do we think are going to be on the next DVDs? Wakaba and Saionji? Touga and Nanami? Saionji and Touga?
Seriously, I find it very hard to believe Ruka would make it to a DVD cover and Wakaba would get ignored. Oh, and of course Akio's going to make it to a cover.

I really hope wakaba gets on one! I also would love to see nanami on one too!

I just read that as "Akio wanking to the cover"....LOL
Mamiya and Mikage. That's intensely obvious. Also perhaps Nanami alone?

D: Those are so pretty. I have to hope against hope we'll get the remaster here, because there's no way I'll be able to afford buying them from Japan.

COMMERCIALS! THEY HAZ THEM!

If you wait for them to load, they'll play, or you can right click to download them to Quicktime. There's not much to them, but omg, the sound has improved!
Offline
Mm, it does sound great!
Thanks for sharing, though I wish they were longer than 14 seconds.
...And still no Akio.
Someone, please license this series again! I mean, we have Evangelion remastered and re-released. And SKU is out of stock everywhere so you can't buy it even if you wanted to (kind of proves that people did like it enough to spend money on it) which also means people would buy the remastered release if it got licensed.
Can we make a petition or something and pass it on to some licensing companies?

I sent off an e-mail to Enoki Films a few weeks ago about CPM's plagurism of UE that included me telling them that I thought that the company was neglecting a potential money-maker.... alas, no reply yet.
