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

Cutest Utena AMV Ever!
I'lladmit I've never seen this "Azumanga" show that this video is a parody of, but the little chibi-like illustrations of the Utena cast are just so damn adorable.

Yep, it is cute, isn't it? 
I'm impressed by her re-drawing dedication. Anyway, the video is by AmazonMandy, and it's also available from animemusicvideos.org.

Well for someone like me who doesn't have unlimited bandwidth, thats just as well as Youtube movies usually eat up several Mb of BW each time you revisited it.
I thought that the Azumanga Utena AMV kicked serious bootay!

Re: Cutest Utena AMV Ever!
I'm a huge Azumanga Daioh fan, so I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that. (I love the part where Akio and Touga are driving together! XD) However, I wasn't very happy with what they did to Shiori... Then again, when am I ever?
If you can, I'd recommend watching Azumanga Daioh if you like animes with no real plot other than, "It's cute!" It's very ammusing, as long as you aren't opposed to random silliness.

Wasn't the woman that was a terrible driver packed with beer like 24/7?
Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

I don't think they drank that much in Azumanga Daioh!. But Yukari was just infamous for her driving skills (or for the lack of those).

Ahh, kk. Maybe confusing her with Misato from Evangelion for some reason? I do remember the pedo teacher that wanted to drink the pool water the girls swam in. Naturally he'd be Akio in this video.

The real scary thing about Kimura-sensei (The pedo teacher) is that he is married to a loving, pretty wife and he even has a cute daughter.
It's basic maths: [b]Akio -the charm - the wit - the style - the sex appeal = Kimura.

Re: Cutest Utena AMV Ever!
GYAAAAAAA!!! THAT WAS THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
Oh wow... I read Azumanga the Manga Daioh, but this is just beautiful! T_T I was brought to tears by it's sheer amazingnessness.
I especially loved the flying ChiyoMamiya & OsakaMikage...
