All I can think of with how hard the show has leaned into the Utena aesthetic lately is all the fanart I’ve seen of Pearlrose as Utena/Anthy, and wowee Pearl really IS the Rose Bride
And dear god Rose is. Rose is Utena and Akio rolled into one
2017 marked the 20th anniversary of the original airing of Revolutionary Girl Utena. exactly 20 years ago today, the series ended with the final episode “Someday, Together, We’ll Shine"
Utena is widely considered one of the best, more influential, most interesting anime series of all time- it’s a little embarrassing to say, but in my opinion it’s one of the most incredible pieces of fiction of all time. it’s definitely important to me, at least. so i wanted to do something for today.
i like to believe, twenty years later, they are still together.
;_; I’m tearing up in front of my computer rn, god. thanks for this, latia
