With the exception of a few scene's from the ever bitchy Nonami (and the infamous episode 6...boxing kangaroo, what where they smocking?!) the series is nearly perfect for me. If you didn't like it the first time you'l probably never like the series, the movie maybe but that can be as deppressing as shit sometimes.
Lawd help me if the Live Action movie get's commissioned.

live action utena done in japan might be decent, but if the americans do it expect to see all the gay stuff (ie the entire core of the story) gutted. I doubt it will happen. I got made redundant at the wrong time as I would love a quality releases of this series. The surreal aspects really appeal to me!

At least you weren't born redundant. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Yup. Also, I never grow tired of the Utena walking up the stairway to the arena. I really love how liberal it sometimes is with sexuality. The lesbianism, the visceral nature to Touga, the clealry violent sexual relationship between Saionji and Anthy and how her abscense make's him realise how much he appreciated her. It has a heart to it I find is lacking in most Shojo (or even in anime in general) and the endings is one of the few that genuinly made me sad, Cowboy Bebop like. The style is amongst my favourate also, the use of art house overlays, with revolving roses and the shaded flashbacks with abstract colours (Utena and Micki's past, Juri's (frankly heart breaking) own experiences) and I always enjoyed 'The Shadow Girls' sub storys, sometimes more than the actual episode (6...seriously, WTF!). It's not perfect but it is my current addiction, say's something for my taste!

I'm sorry to hear about your redundancy Keirarts, I was fortunate enough to find a similare job a week before I ended my last before christmas. It's not an easy place to be.

like a lot of others just ordered knightriders direct from arrow, even though i thought it looked a bit poo from the trailer, i thought at this price i will give it a chance.

just worried that i have had no sort of confirmation of this order.
