Utena movie reaction
May. 17th, 2010 09:26 pmSo I just watched The Adolescence of Utena, also known as "that really weird movie." Some thoughts, in the order I wrote them down while watching the movie:
--Ohtori's architecture is more screwed-up than Hogwarts.
--This movie is 85 minutes long. The characters say "prince" a total of 38 times. I didn't think to count how often they say "rose" or some variation on "duel" while I was at it.
--Anime science: Juri's Rapunzel hair fits inside her fencing mask.
--I want to write a Utena fic where somebody's allergic to roses.
--Does anybody actually attend Ohtori to get an academic education?
