Juri It's a fencing hall, and we've already established that Saijonji gets his rear end kicked by Chigusa.

Has someone linked Nanami's theme from the musical yet?

Someone should do that, hmmm.

To my shame, no. I got through the dubbed episodes and then the remainder were subbed only and... I didn't go further. Just not a fan of subs.

I'll get over it and finish eventually.

You can watch the subs, or you can find the dub elsewhere. Either way. I understand if you made it to ep 20 out of 39 not wanting to suddenly change voice casts.

This is fascinating because it could be attributed to one of two things: Touga's innate flirtiness or Touga's deeper knowledge of how Ohtori works than the rest of the Student Council. Touga is far more likely than any of the others to go "oh, a ruined building is suddenly new again? That's totally something that can happen" because he actually has some knowledge of just how weird Ohtori is.

Huh. Thought it was only dubbed up to episode 4 or 5 on youtube. I'll have to take another look.

High pitched breathy anime voice gets on my nerves. That particular aspect of anime is the real problem here.

Seems like they uploaded 5-20 dubbed relatively recently: ep 4 dubbed had 36k views while ep 5 only has 2k views.

Angel to you, Devil to me
Ever since I first watched Revolutionary Girl Utena (which was 8 years ago), I've been slightly obsessed with it. It's a show that was not only ahead of it's time but is also ahead of where we are now. I just binged this entire thread to catch up as I've never actually played through this game before despite knowing it existed.

That said, while I know this vote is completely overshadowed by all the Juri love and Saionji pity(?) going on, I'll throw in one for taking Utena with us to check out the chalk-white fencing hall.

13 votes for Jury, 5 votes for Saionji, and scattered votes for the others.

Back on track it is, I guess.

I'll put in someone else as a bonus next update just because it'll be short otherwise and Jury's reaction isn't very interesting.

I owe you all a huge apology. Thread is resuming.

I have been busier, but not THAT busy. There have been changes in how things are going, but none warranting a two month hiatus. I just felt seriously guilty about not updating and it made it harder snd harder to face resuming. The unexpected hiatus by my computer breaking got me out of the habit and routine of updating and it was hard to get back into. Every day I told myself I'd resume and I didn't.

No more. Thread is resuming. Update within 48 hours, and weekly updates resuming after that.

I hate to do this after a really dramatic post like that, but today was actually a lot more hectic than I expected. I have all the screenshots uploaded, but actually writing this thing isn't going to happen tonight. I have relatively little going on tomorrow and I expect to be able to get this up late afternoon/early evening US time tomorrow because I want to make my first post back good and not a cursory thing.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I wasn't immediately flaking after announcing my return.

This is true.

I first watched Utena, the anime, in college when I was a closeted young thing. It was a game-changer and I loved it. I still love it and the art style. Utena and Anthy were my favorites, as a girl who wants to be a prince (or does she?) rescuing a princess (or is she??) appealed greatly to me.

I look forward to more of this game, Patter-san!

Just saw this get bumped! I'm one half of Empty Movement and if anyone wants to play the game I can help facilitate that. It was a decade-long project by members of my community and I'm still incredibly proud and blown away that they succeeded. Their efforts deserve all the attention they can get!

Also, Patter Song, I hope life gets to a spot where you can continue, but if not, I really appreciate and enjoy what you've done here!

Apropos of nothing, but Empty Movement (and especially the song lyrics and analysis pages) were a ridiculously useful tool back when I was watching Utena; you've done incredible work and I just wanted to thank you.

Thanks so much, I showed your post to Vanna and it makes us both so happy to hear that! She redid the audiology subsite recently to allow for line by line comparisons of different translations, so it's hopefully even more useful now-- and we are, of course, still adding new analysis essays (and accepting contributions, hint hint ;)).

To keep it slightly on topic, here are the lyrics to Herzen no Kubi, the duel song from the game.

I figured resurrecting this thread was okay, seeing as the apocalypse may be happening to SA. Anyway I'm organizing a goon-flavored watch of one of the new Utena musicals (fully translated and subbed) on Sunday June 28th, 8:30pm EST/5:30pm PST. The one we're watching, Bud of the White Rose, covers the student council arc of Utena and compresses it super well. It's surprisingly excellent, and if anyone wants to come you can pm me for info, or dm me on twitter at @YashaOhtori or @ohtori_nu :love:
