CrabHelmet Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 Everybody go watch Revolutionary Girl Utena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetheforcehan Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 It is an old anime right? For additional info, Revolutionary Girl Utena is about a girl fighting another girl to win the heart of another girl. Kinda like lesbian anime theme to me. The anime have some cool sword dueling scenes and great music/BGM. You can also read the manga online, but anime is much better imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Wow. I didn't think you'd like anyting done with the 4kids va's. Rachael Lillis (Ursula in Dinosaur King), was the title character, Utena Tenjou. I kinda liked the series. Just wish there was a 40th episode where Anthy finds Utena and tells her everything that happened in the time she was forgotten. Won't everyone be surprised to see her back from the dead. I've seen every episode of the anime and the ending of the Utena Movie. Least Utena lives at the cost of Shiori's life. My fave characters are Utena cause she's so cool, Miki (The blue guy of the student council) cause he's the nice guy of the group and Shiori cause she was voiced by Lisa Ortiz. I just did not like Anthy getting slapped in every episode. I also had this idea about Shiori from this series dating Cody from Total Drama. What do you think? And actually Utena has duelled five guys for Anthy. I gotta ask Crab, when did you get interested in Utena? If you'd like to see episodes, here's a link: http://dubbinz.com/anime/completed_tv_series/revolutionary_girl_utena/details.php I'm sure everyone here will love it.

usetheforcehan Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I just did not like Anthy getting slapped in every episode. lol. Me too. :)Imo the author should make her stronger a bit. Being a princess doesn't mean she always have to be weak. And thanks for the link Owen, it's been ages since i last saw Utena anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 You're welcome. My fave episodes were 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 17, and 37. I thought it was funny when Utena and Anthy switched personalities. And ahem: Teens, don't make out in the back of a car that's driving at over 100 mph. A lesson Ruka and Shiori should learn.

CrabHelmet Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Ew, why would you ever watch the dubbed version of Utena? The English dub is terrible, whereas the Japanese version is full of excellent voice actors. And Utena really is not the sort of show that 4Kids can handle competently. At all. Also, if you think Anthy was weak and helpless and that it's the author's fault for thinking princesses need to be weak and helpless, then the whole series basically went right over your head.

usetheforcehan Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Also, if you think Anthy was weak and helpless and that it's the author's fault for thinking princesses need to be weak and helpless, then the whole series basically went right over your head. What i meant is that i wish Anthy would stand up for herself for a couple of episode. Being so passive for almost the whole series is not fun imo. But if that were Utena's author and editor decision to make Anthy so helpless, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being so passive for almost the whole series is not fun imo. But if that were Utena's author and editor decision to make Anthy so helpless, then so be it. Anthy's not helpless, she's passive-aggressive. She acts like a complete doormat in order to manipulate all of the Duelists into staying in the game, and she enjoys taking revenge on people who hurt her in ways that cannot be traced back to her, most obviously Nanami. She does have some learned helplessness, but if you're going to complain about that, then you may as well complain about Shinji Ikari not being a manly man who goes around punching Angels to death with his bare hands. Where might you recommend we watch this particular animated teleplay? Most streaming sites like Veoh seem to have lost it. You can torrent it easily, but as far as I know, the only streaming source left is some obscure site called Anime Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Considering how GoGoAnime doesn't have it, I'll need a link to Anime Boy. If it's the Evangelion of the shojo genre, then I'll give it a look, so long as the relationship between the girls actually makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cakey Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hm. The all-knowing Wikipedia tells me that it should be re-released on DVD in 2011. I'll probably buy it then. EDIT: Actually, Amazon looks like it might have the DVDs. I might buy those instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the Evangelion of the shojo genre, then I'll give it a look, so long as the relationship between the girls actually makes sense. Here's your link. As far as I can tell, this site still has it because it uses some obscure player that nobody else on the internet has ever heard of. >_> But yes, definitely give it a look.

Astro Dude Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Oh, I get it Crab, the Japanese version. 4kids never adapted it. The dubbed version was done by Central Park Media, whose majority of va's also worked for 4kids. And Anthy did stand up for herself in episode 6, but that was only because she and Utena switched personalities, which was hilarious in a way. I didn't like the Mikage seminars that much. They only brought back the souls of 6 of the 100 boys that were killed in the fire. --"If a chick cannot break out of it's shell, it will die. We are the chick, the world is our shell, and we will die without ever being born. Smash the worlds shell. For the revolution of the world!"Touga from Utena.

Whoever did the English dub, it sucked. >_> And Anthy did stand up for herself in episode 6, but that was only because she and Utena switched personalities, which was hilarious in a way. That was episode 8, not 6... though funny you should mention it, since episode 6 is a good early example of Anthy's passive-aggressive tendencies. Tsuwabuki was behind things like the dropped flowerpot, but had no role in things like the escaped kangaroo; that was orchestrated by someone who has been established as good with animals and who hates Nanami. Sound like anyone you know? (The cowbell episode and the egg episode are very similar, but are more explicit in fingering Anthy as the culprit.) I didn't like the Mikage seminars that much. They only brought back the souls of 6 of the 100 boys that were killed in the fire. So you disliked the arc because... it didn't last a hundred episodes? o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Wow. I didn't think you'd like anyting done with the 4kids va's. Rachael Lillis (Ursula in Dinosaur King), ... Of all the roles Rachel Lillis has done, the first one that sprung to mind was Ursula from Dinosaur King? <_< On-topic: I'll watch it after I finish Angel's Beat. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you disliked the arc because... it didn't last a hundred episodes? o_O No. Mikage used the drives of all but one student to try and destroy Anthy, but I'll bet the spirits of the other 94 boys were there for the battle of Utena vs. Mikage as an audience. And, how could Utena and her opponent maneuver around 100 desks?... Of all the roles Rachel Lillis has done, the first one that sprung to mind was Ursula from Dinosaur King? <_< On-topic: I'll watch it after I finish Angel's Beat. <_< She was also Misty from Pokemon, way back when.
