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

Utena reference in Danganronpa 3 (no spoilers)

In a fantasy sequence with references to both cliche shoujo artstyles and Chibi Maruko-chan, we also get this sneaky reference that almost everyone watching won't get!

What episode was this? I'm not really interested in watching the series, but I really want to see this in context.

Also, lol.

Future Arc, Episode 7. But there isn't really any context, a girl's just imagining the guy she likes and it shows him like this. I guess she views him as very adult, since as we all know, riding on the hood of your car is what it means to be an adult.

I laughed so hard when I saw that.  I was really surprised since it came out of nowhere.

Re: Utena reference in Danganronpa 3 (no spoilers)

I just watched it. LOL.
Am I wrong in assuming there was a Conan reference thrown in there too. (Not my fandom...)

Re: Utena reference in Danganronpa 3 (no spoilers)

In the ending of the original Danganronpa there's some talk about "building new roads" in the "outside world". I originally thought that to be pseudo-coincidence, but after these references, well...!
