Utena is one of those series that one either gets or one doesn't. Blade being one of the former group, he greatly appreciates the series in a myriad of ways. The plot, the characters, the symbolism, the twists and turns of director Ikuhara's latest strokes of genius/acid-induced hallucinations...but here is where we concentrate, first and foremost, on the art.
And what gorgeous art it is. *_*
Special thanks go to Giovanna and her super-duper Utena site, Empty Movement, from whence most of the official, non-screencap artwork here will have been taken. Check it out in the Links section!
Currently up is Keiko, Shiori, and Four Days In Ohtori. Worship me. And Utena, on account of we both kick so much ass.
