NOTE: This post contains MAJOR SPOILERS for the Revolutionary Girl Utena movie. It is also slightly NSFW. A post in the Diary of an Anime Lived series.
End of Utena resonated with me in many ways. It’s message, it’s art, the lives of it’s characters – it did what made the series great and kept it more concentrated, poignant, and blatant, which I appreciated. It is a masterpiece, pure and simple, and I was glad that I could find a way to pay tribute to it’s art and message without sacrificing either. End of Utena will go down as one of my favorite anime, because it fills me with such a feeling that I cannot deny it’s impact. I hope that those feelings come through in this video.
I also wanted to make a special note of it’s ending. Was that the most awesome ending of an anime or what!? Hot, naked lesbians making out while laying on the back of a raging motorcycle? What more could I possibly ask for?

“it’s” -> “its”
don’t do this to me bro
2 troll comments before any regular comments. That might be a record.
It’s been years since I watched this movie but I still consider it a favorite. Absolutely brilliant. No other anime like Utena.
The song used in the movie, “Toki ni ai wa…” is also still a favorite.
Oh, and did you make that video? (are you speaking in it?)
Yes, I did. I made everything in this video, taking about 8 hours to do so ^^;;
Well, if that’s the case, then it’s very nice hearing your voice for the first time =)
Rolling with the theme of commenting without talking about what was said: I’m assuming the wibbly-line-second-voice was digi too, and on that grounds figure that we still have not heard his True Voice(!).
Also, anyone watching anime videos at work probably isn’t that bothered about the lesbians. It’s not like the dude looking over their shoulder was suddenly going to think ‘hey, now they’re naked! maybe this site isn’t serious internet research business after all’.
LOL point taken.
Yes, the Eva-reference voice was also myself, and I have actually been told that my voice sounds deeper in this than it does for real, so maybe not my true voice.
That said, I’ve got about 40 youtube videos with my voice all over them, so if you wanted to hear it, there ya go XD: http://www.youtube.com/user/Ticalultimate
i still haven’t had a damn double down
Get yur shit together man, it’s a must-have!
So you’re sayin you’ll give me five bucks? Want me to set up a paypal so you can give it to me?
(god I love doing that when people tell me I need/should get something)
You know digiboy, it feels like your blog just got 5 times better after you took that hiatus.
Erm, thanks? This post is old as hell though…
don’t blame me, google reader is showing it at the top of the feed :/
