I've always liked the dubbed version more. Utena has a serious "I am done with all this poo poo." vibe that her cheerier subbed counterpart doesn't have and IMHO it really adds to the character.

Ohtori Akio posted:oh right i had episode notes - There are no good clip shows aside from the Clerks cartoon. And putting important information in one is bad

You're right because the network hosed around with the Clerks cartoon, and aired the clipshow as the first episode instead of the second. So it wasn't even clipping things that had happened yet. There are no good clipshows.

I agree the fights are super short, but gotta save time somewhere, and I'd rather shorter fights over nixing the character development. Maybe they could have shortened the elevator a little, and had the traumas/grievances become more apparent during the duels?

Absolutely agreed. Just workshopping ideas on how to extend the duels.

Ruka is a big nothing burger who could have been anybody. I will never understand what the gently caress Shiori's deal is.

Nephthys posted:So I take it no-one wants to talk about the movie because of how much it sucks, huh? I'm assuming it sucks without the context of the show. I wouldn't try to use it to sell somebody on Utena. With it, it's a whole vibe. I don't think the vibe sucks. Plus that ending sequence.

Ohtori Akio posted:Everyone in this thread is aware that television programs are moving images with sound, not reality. We are posting our takes about them for entertainment purposes. Utena is poetic because it gives people many different impressions of what is actually going on. We are not trying to end the thread with a co-signed manifesto about the correct reading.
