I know Ikuhara and Anno were buddies and communicated a lot during the creations of SKU and Evangelion, so I feel like I shouldn't just write off any connection I see as paranoia.

Maybe they used to throw cold cans at each other before seduction and we're watching the baby of an inside joke.

I love the Nanami cat commercial oh absolute vodka, I want that movie made NOW. And then I want cosplays done.

Oh oh! I have Persona: Innocent Sin as a fan-translation on emulator. I need to get back to that.

I thought Harry Potter was crying out for Akio but it turns out he just wanted to make the port key come to him.

1) Just like everyone else, roses in general ((especially white)). I bought this white rose ring that fits on my engagement finger so whenever I look down at it, I instantly think of Utena.
2) Also, since my gf && I cosplay from the show; I always think about it a bit whenever we talk or are around each other :]
3) Elevator, 'nuff said ((I actually do quote Touga, when I'm with friends/by myself of course. I did it once with someone else in the elevator, they looked incredibly confused && sprinted out when they got to their floor xD))
4) Going up long flights of stairs, I start humming Zettai.
5) When I have to stretch my legs for P.E. ((since Utena loves to do that in the show))
6) Flashy red cars...I instantly assume Akio must be nearby.
7) There's seriously this winding street I drive through, lined with insanely tall street lights; it looks /exactly/ like the setting for when Akio has his car driving moments.
8) Oxford shoes, they have a similar style to Utena's in the tv show.
9) Planetariums...I'm just hoping there's no sketchy incest going on when I visit one ;D

I'm sure there's more. Yep...simply put, I'm an Utena-tard xD;

I so agree! It always keeps the simple things in life interesting xD;

Once while I was at school, I'd tried to do the egg speech on an elevator, but I kept laughing. Also, the school only has two floors, nowhere near long enough to perform the speech.

I saw an episode of I Love Lucy where she gets an inferiority complex last week, and all I could think about was Shiori.

Ha ha! Wow, now I need to watch Evangelion.

Today is my birthday and a friend of the family send me 12 pink roses. She doesn't know about SKU but I was totally thinking about Utena.

Teyhy, that is probably an Utena fans favorite gift ((providing they like roses && all )). How nice that a friend did that for you, too!

My gf ((who cosplays Anthy with me)) actually got my white roses for our 1 year. I don't know if that counts as something that reminds me of Utena because it was intentional, after all
So I know, getting roses instantly makes me think of Utena :] haha.

..Things that make me think about SKU:
Arrow signs-any arrow signs i see i think about the Nemuro Memorial Hall.
Butterflies, makes me think of the Utena movie!
Roses- of course.
Pincushions- reminds me of anthy! need i say why?
And Hair dye, i always wanted to dye my hair pink but i never did. then i see pink hair dye in the store and i think of Utena.

I dye my hair purple.  xD

Oooh! i wanted purple highlights before! what dye do you use?

Okay, here's a sad one.

I was walking around yesterday with my roommates (both of whom have seen some or all of SKU), and we passed by a fast-food billboard depicting an egg, a breakfast sandwich, and the slogan, "Breakfast: coming out of its shell."

N. and I just look at each other, and she asks, "Were you thinking what I was thinking?"

And I say, "Too easy!" and we all burst out laughing.

I'd give anything to have moments like this with my friends in RL.   


< needs moar otaku.

I went with my co-worker to a place that sells specialty beers today, and look what I found:



End of the World brand beer! (Yes, I know it's in French, but it still counts!)  It has a complex flavor: very sweet but with a sharp bitter aftertaste.  I think Akio would approve.
