I have to admit it was cool to see them sing the "absolute destiny apocalypse" song, they sounded just like in the show!

Sanae Kimura (the actress playing Juri) also played Sailor Uranus in the Sailor Moon musicals. Sanae Kimura playing dramatic lesbians since 1994.

Akio coming in like he's the noble mentor doomed to die in the next arc is such a crack concept and I kinda love it.

I am still sad that we didn't get this on the American DVDs. I've had a raw of it since getting the fansubs on VHS back in 2000 or 2001. It's the only VHS I kept once I bought the box sets. This musical literally got me through college - it was my go-to happy place when I was stressed or upset. Thank you so much for making this available. I'd forgotten just how much I love it!

This is fantastic. Everyone did such a great job, especially Utena and Himemiya, but the mannerisms of those who played the men like Touga were really incredible too. Can we get the car photography scene? 😆

You can actually see the smoke coming of Akio’s cigarette. That’s really impressive considering this was filmed in the 90’s

This is the first Utena media I ever encountered, years before I saw the anime or read the manga. Imagine my shock and confusion learning the full depth and dark context of the whole story. This stage show--understandably, for reasons of time, format, and real world constraints--leaves a lot out.

@@user-qn5fz2lo3e The japanese puns are based on homonyms of numbers and English words transcribed in Japanese. They literally say: “One plus one equals three (三san) San (サン) means the sun (太陽taiyou) right? Feels bright… Wow, dazzling! Two plus two equals five (五go) Go (ゴ) means let’s go (行けike) We don’t have a choice, do we? What? In what way?” Sorry this is a very literal translation and thus feels very awkward… Obviously the puns are lost in translation, so it’s nice that whoever did the subs kept the spirit of the number-based silly jokes!

to be fair, Juri has a crush on Touga in the manga. That's probably where they pulled it from

@wormwoodcocktail

8 ай бұрын

They do it in the manga, too. I don’t like it. It’s so antithetical to her character. She’s all about *unrequited* love. That makes sense with Shiori. With Touga? How am I supposed to believe that two wealthy popular kids are star-crossed lovers? I always like to pretend that the “love” here is a reference to the boy who drowned heroically rescuing another kid. Juri mentions this kid in the show and, in the movie, Touga is cast as the boy. Juri’s surname has etymological connections to rivers… it all fits. So yeah, whenever I see them rewriting Juri as into Touga I just try to think about her being attached to him through that platonic lens. It makes it easier for me to work what I’m seeing and reading into the larger Utena narrative, of which Juri is basically always gay.

@@marrusorthocanna1897 Yeah, *but* it is worth noting that the manga was written by Chiho Saito. She also worked on the show as an artist. However, while she has re-iterated her tolerance for homosexual relationships, she was skeptical of Ikuhara’s decision to include WLW relationships in the show. Her perspective was that the show was for *girls,* and *most girls are straight,* so making characters canonically gay would disassociate the audience from the characters. And, thus, the general anti-gender role message. She even threatened to leave the show’s team if Ikuhara pushed the matter in the show. That’s partially why the show relies on subtext and the movie is explicit - Ikuhara was willing to compromise artistically because he valued Chiho’s artistry. All of this is to say that Chiho clearly had a vision for the show that differs from Ikuhara. She wasn’t cool with canonical on-screen gayness in the show, and so it makes sense that she would retroactively censor things in her manga re-telling. I don’t agree with her artist decisions - and I suspect most would agree with me - but I still respect her. She is an accomplished professional woman and artist during a difficult period in Japan’s modern history. You gotta give her props for trying to make something aesthetically engaging for girls. However, I think the message of the story is the same, regardless of how you read the nature of the dyad. Like, Juri *cares* about people like Touga. I think that’s the main takeaway. Regardless of whether it’s platonic or because he was the drowned boy or it’s romantic or whatever. The *point* is that she’s more tenderhearted than she seems.

anthy's actress have a really beautiful voice, goodness

utena's face during the anthy's solo= *confusion in bisexual*

Wow Anthy's voice is so amazing!! and I love Utena and Anthy's acting &singing , I cried at the End.

I'm not crying. You're crying.

I got goosebumps when they sang "Sekai wo Kakumei Suru Tame Ni 4:00". Before this, I just only listened this song's cd version (奧井雅美ver.) and I love this song so much. 😍😍😍 After watching this, I realized this song is originally from this opera show~~ Amazing~~👍👍👍

"Come Utena, my prince! - Come, Anthy, by bride!" That made me cringe so much.

Which I mean, I get why they did that, I'm surprised they even managed to stuff one whole season in there. Still, it's kinda funny how completely antithetical to the actual anime this is, even if it's a very nice performance.

@@izellets7361 ah ehy there again, so yeah from what I've heard the original manga had the whole thing played straight, aka Utena truly becoming a prince for anthy. Also various characters aren't a thing, shiori for example, and nanami was just a photograph lol. Another commentator mentioned Juri having a thing for touga in the manga and this musical actually I think mentions it at one point? So that's probably another hint they used the manga more. The natural hair colors is another thing in common I've read the other day the manga they did a couple years ago for the 20th anniversary which seem to follow up on the anime specifically after everyone has graduated and it seems to be good, I'd suggest looking it up online, there's just a small thing in it I'm not entirely sure of but otherwise a nice send off to the student council people. After commenting on this video here I've actually found 2 WAY longer musicals on KZread of Utena, 2 hours each that go through the first and then second season, I've just seen a couple of clips but it seems to have double budget and way more fidelity to the anime so definitely check it out. I'm just super sad there isn't one for Utena opening anthy's coffin finale :(

While I do really enjoy this show for what it is--the singing and acting is brilliant, and the cast & crew did all they could with the resources they had to capture the spirit and story of the first arc--it really is lacking in some respects. In fairness, you'd probably need a full opera cycle to tell the story well with the requisite scope, scale, allusion and art direction; one 2.5D myu simply isn't enough to convey how sweepingly grand and tragic RGU is.
