Spoiler is the prince an illusion? the first time he appeared, he came from the castle saionji said was an illusion, and a miracle shouldn't be happening if idealism being shattered is actually a recurring theme in the anime. but he appeared now. is this actually utena's own power or something? or was i wrong about this?
OH MAN, you are but an infant in the ways of this show's fuckery. (also no spoilers but episode 8 is the best filler episode hands down)
Spoiler: vague advice about the incest thing There is very little that's accidental about this anime's subtext. If something feels creepy - TRUST YOUR GUT.
(the only reason im not with the chinhandsing group is bc im eating popcorn and cackling) (your liveblog is amusing)
i'm on episode 8 and i'm really weirded out out with how child touga is just staring at child utena's hair ignoring everything she's saying to him edit: wait this is episode 9
okay, picking back up at the halfway point of the episode i was last on, i think there is probably a lot of significance to what the shadow puppets are saying
