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

I have to say I'm really liking this trend of older animes getting the "new anime" treatment during their anniversaries. It's nice to see them getting cafes and new merchandise.

The detail with the sword though Anthy's crown is too cute!~

I think I might try making a few of these. You know, with alcohol. I'm quite amused that Akio doesn't have a drink, given this looks rather similar to the dumbass drink he's sipping in the last episode. emot-rolleyes

XD I also noted that Juri doesn't have a drink.  It would have been so easy!  Orange flavors everywhere.

Re: New Utena stuff

Man, it's been too long since I've seen the show. I really wish though more signs were translated. Most of them aren't in the old subs and that's bothersome. I really wish I didn't have to read along with the Utena Encyclopedia translations at points. It's too late for the worst offender (Saionji's expulsion notice) but adding those would be great.

I have it, and I have it scanned. emot-smile It will be in the new section of the site, but I actually already have a copy uploaded. In retrospect I should have left it higher resolution, the kanji is hard to read in spots. I have the actual book so if you need, let me know page numbers and I'll scan them better for you. Eventually I might do it in higher resolution but there's way too much other stuff to get done first.

Thanks!
If I were to try and translate it myself, though, I'd have to get the book anyway. I don't know kanji, so I have to use the camera on Google translate mobile and then copypaste the characters to more reliable sites to figure out any of what's being said. It's hard, and it's even harder for me with scans than with physical text because Google translate only recognizes kanji if they're really clear and precise.

I do eventually want to buy it for sure, but if nobody here had it it'd be the next thing I'd buy so that it could be translated sooner; as it is, I don't plan to buy anything I have to translate myself (other than of course the new CD) until I've gotten more of the Seazer lyrics at geocities.co.jp/Hollywood-Kouen/6490/mi … aseba.html done (or as done as I can get them).

Re: New Utena stuff

Ahh, well that's fair. The analysis book I'm scanning now is going to be so high resolution that the OCR I use should read everything crystal clear. That's why I'm probably going to rescan the other one at some point as well.

What the fuck is this???

Google translate actually churned out some coherent sentences in this case (well, two):

★ It is an exhibition of 3 copied prints sold at the Girl Revolutionary Utena Expo.

☆ The 1st piece of images is a duplicate print of 2 sets.

The second piece is a 'duplicate print' featuring Miki and Kozue.

So I guess since the first piece has two sets that's three in all.

There's also something about a Mikage poster; I don't know if that's one of the prints or an additional thing.

It looks like this person has considered that some people might want to see the contents of the package, & there's a questions column that can be used to ask for that.

They are brand new and "super valuable!!!"

!!! They are autographed!!

They are framed (they came that way).

Re: New Utena stuff

40k is a little much...

But if that's how valuable those things are then the one I did obtain is like thousands? That doesn't sound right...

I wish I could know more. I can't believe they're seriously considering them that valuable and they've been on Yahoo for ages now... Or is it duplicate sets as in like a couple dozen of them?? Wtf!

Unless these are literally the cels for the actual series artwork the price just doesn't make sense...

Re: New Utena stuff

Tragically the order information on the Anthy scent seems to say "※ We do not correspond to overseas shipping ※ No international orders available." With so much merch coming out this year (multi-decade anniversary years are hard on the wallet) and most straight from Japan, is it on-topic enough to ask if anyone knows of a proxy service that can help with any/all of the recently mentioned products? CDJapan's helped with entertainment in the past but I don't know if they'll deal in fashion.

With Sailor Moon and Utena having anniversary stuff I am soooooooo so so broke.  ;_;

This http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/?afid=W69523 is a deputy service I’ve heard good things about.  I’ve never used one before (too scared) so I get all my stuff second hand on eBay or Amazon.  From what I understand they do fashion stuff but again, I've only heard of them, never used it before.

Re: New Utena stuff

For deputies, I use www.rinkya.com.  I pre-ordered the perfumes through them already, so they definitely do store orders.

I'm not sure how their prices stack up these days against different deputy services for store orders or general goods; they've been my deputy forever now and are pretty solid from my experience however.

Also UTENA FIGMA!  *Loses mind*

Yeah, the TL they gave above is pretty accurate.  I don't think it's that expensive either.  I got my copy for like $75 plus shipping.. Then again I have been circling those art books like buzzard looking for a kill.  I have like three of them now. etc-love  I plan to frame part of one that are falling out ( emot-gonk ).

You have! Except we're all a lot older, a lot more jaded, and somewhere along the line Utena turned into a Yuri genre anime.
