Attention Utena fans.

I got that Utena community up. It is nemuro_hall. Please take a look around and see if it is to your liking. I want to get this place rocking. Join up and get involved in the first discussion. You know you want to.

It saddens me to see this fandom die out. This is my all-time favorite anime, and it is sublime. I just re-watched the final two episodes (of the old-skool Utena Translation Fansubs, long live! and fuck Software Sculptors) for the first time in over a year, and I notice new things every single time. When I watched that ending for the first time when I was thirteen, I understood it very differently. I was seeing things from Utena's point-of-view; this time, I saw things more from Akio's point-of-view.

I thought the manga paled in comparison with the anime.

I never saw the fansubbed version of X.

I think the manga didn't have a lot of things the anime did. The anime ended up having, well... more meaning to it. They gave reasons for fighting and acting. Chiho didn't get into that stuff enough in the manga.

OMG. YOU SHOULD. And if you get one of the really good ones, around episode 12 or so, the subs screw up and are like, "!1asdk q fb" when it has an exclamation point after a word.

I can't tell you how much that amused me. My sides hurt.
