Boyfriend because that sounds like the worse of the two answers and I'd like to see the route for someone other than Utena herself.

Oh wow I had no idea this game existed. This show really left an impression on me when I first saw it ~20 years ago and I can't wait to see what this LP brings. About the show though . . .


It's really incredible they decided to this. One half of me wants to binge watch it, the other half of me is scared that this show won't live up to my memory of it. Does this version have the original soundtrack?

On a quick check, sure does.

Isnt Nanami also a complete psychopath?


Honestly, she's probably the sanest person in the series, poor thing.

It might be kinda cool to just have time for Utena analysis after the LP itself finishes up or something.

I love talking about Utena; it's such a great show.

I feel that teal hair is being telegraphed as this game's Mikage. She's been around long enough to know our parents, has she...?

e: maybe it's because I'm interpreting the graffiti as implying she's controlling the non-utena duelists though

Empty Movement is doing another musical stream on Friday, which is slightly more notice than my last "they're starting literally right now lol" post

I strongly recommend that y'all watch the musical if you're at all familiar with Utena's storyline; it's awesome.

I've only read the first couple updates, but it got me to start watching the show, and I just wanted to express my gratitude because this queer-rear end show is fuckin amazing what the hell

So...Lots of people in thread had no idea this game existed, or, if they did, hadn't played it. Anyone in that category want to weigh in on thoughts so far?

I vaguely knew it existed because one of the OSTs had music on it, but I've never played it. So far, seems a pretty standard otome game, but I'm eagerly awaiting the point where the insanity ramps up.

This vote is surprisingly close. It's staying open for a bit longer.

Only thing I'm beginning to regret about the style of the thread is that the emphasis on voting detracts from discussion of the game's story. Anyone have anything to say about our encounter with ??? or the challenge to Utena? After all, I remember people here asking how the dueling and such would get involved into the game's plot.

I'm hoping we'll get to end up doing some dueling ourselves, but I'm not sure how they'd handle that in a VN format.

e: also come on guys, this game looks interesting enough that I don't wanna get the 'lol you just picked joke every time' bad end. :mad:

Talk about Wakaba, because she's the best.

Either that, or go more in-depth about what happened when someone tried Anthy's cooking.

This is not mutually exclusive with my desire to see him get clowned on at every opportunity.

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.
