CERTAINTY
i also watched the movie
CERTAINTY
overall i really liked both, though the movie has still left me reeling in confusion
VeGGies
You wanna hear the great theory I heard about the movie
CERTAINTY
it did have shiori turn herself into a car which is a 10/10 already
CERTAINTY
oh?
VeGGies
So the theory goes like this:
Ohtori Academy is stuck in an eternal timeloop that keeps replaying every time Akio fails to get Dios' power (see: the mingling of characters who are dead and alive such as Mikage, the existence/non-existence of various buildings)
VeGGies
The movie is not a retelling of the series, but the final timeloop after Anthy breaks free of Akio thanks to Utena
CERTAINTY
oooo
CERTAINTY
that explains some things yeah
VeGGies
see: she no longer has her glasses (left on his desk when she left), she seems to know Utena already (though Utena has forgotten in the timeloop reset), Akio is dead to begin with and this is why the academy is falling apart in the movie
VeGGies
I saw a youtube video give that theory and I went "oh holy shit I like that so much better than 'it's a retelling of the series'"
CERTAINTY
it's definitely not a retelling of the series
MRS SEPHIROTH
this is a good list
MRS SEPHIROTH
also time to drop some utena amvs
ʟᴇɢᴀʟʟʏ sᴏᴜᴘ
ooh. a good theory, I accept it
VeGGies
In the final timeloop Anthy is in control and she can remember the series, all she has to do is awaken Utena and they can gtfo forever
CERTAINTY
i wonder how that fits in with touya being dead though...
VeGGies
Touga's been dead the whole time just like Mikage
VeGGies
Here, let me find that video for you
VeGGies
Her analysis is spot on
CERTAINTY
ohhhh my god wait
CERTAINTY
and then
MRS SEPHIROTH
CERTAINTY
at the end of the last loop juri brought up the boy who died, and said she couldn't remember him
CERTAINTY
HUH
VeGGies
YEAH
VeGGies
ʟᴇɢᴀʟʟʏ sᴏᴜᴘ
omg literal eclipse of the heart
VeGGies
It touches on themes of the whole series but she does a whole section on the movie and lays out this theory
VeGGies
(also iirc Nanami in particular is really sad about the boy who died in that same scene........)
VeGGies
ngl Touga's a shitter but the elevator scene in the movie makes me cry every time
MRS SEPHIROTH
I would link some good utena discussions but alas I'm at work
VeGGies
She has another video all about Nanami that is also very good
CERTAINTY
just about every character in this series is so tragic
ʟᴇɢᴀʟʟʏ sᴏᴜᴘ
I have no good meta, but stupid doodles

THEM...
peach boy ✨
the movie.........
peach boy ✨
"you're not the only one who can turn into a car"
CERTAINTY
that was my favourite line
peach boy ✨
there was a commentary option in the dvd and the director went silent during that part
peach boy ✨
not even he could explain it
CERTAINTY
my interpretation is that it's "you're not the only one who can wield the power of lesbian sex, I TOO HAVE THE POWER OF LESBIAN SEX"
CERTAINTY
since. idc what anyone says that's what utena turning into a car shaped like a diagram of a vagina was.
CERTAINTY
shiori in this movie confused me so much
CERTAINTY
and touga being dead the whole time confuses the issue even more
YOUR LONG
shiori fucking touga feels like something something comphet
YOUR LONG
he is like the ghost of toxic masculinity comphet past or something
CERTAINTY
yeah...... yeah
YOUR LONG
it's amazing like
YOUR LONG
how many men in utena are Dead All Along
YOUR LONG
while still also being real and present characters
YOUR LONG
something something the ongoing trauma of patriarchy in women's lives
CERTAINTY
just realized the only living male character in utena would be saionji that way
CERTAINTY
oh wait miki too
CERTAINTY
and ig tsuwabaki but like, i don't care for him
peach boy ✨
most of nanami's admirers are.... okay. but she herself is a pretty good character
CERTAINTY
nanami is top tier
CERTAINTY
character of all time
YOUR LONG
maybe being dead doesn't mean ur dead. you know how it is.
