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

Akio in youtubular glory
I don't actually have sound on my laptop and actually have it downloaded.
But I'm sorry but does this video rock or what: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Laa4_WBiQVw

Re: Akio in youtubular glory
I found it a few months back and it just hit me now that, to not share this, would be like, illegal or something O.o
I love how the words go with it,
"if nothing is true, we can build our own world"
"every word was a lie"
And how they used the candles.
Nice.

Can you guess this is one of my favorites?
Like the song, too. 
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.

Re: Akio in youtubular glory
Whenever I rewatch this video. (which is often) I suddenly realise how much Akio really gets down and dirty with everyone. And I love the car sequence at the end and dropping the pink rose and that music really suits doesn't it.

Meri's AMVs are some of the best I've seen.

I just saw the Utena MTV thread. You have great taste in AMV's. I have Castles in the sky and loved the intro. Maybe this thread should be deleted or Akio focused.

Re: Akio in youtubular glory
Wow, that video was amazing!
It really makes me feel for Utena, I think it shows well how much she really goes through and does.

I quite like the song, but the AMV is just WOW.
