For the revolution of the world...!

[amae]

So no one knows since I haven't been talking about it, but right before I left Japan I marathoned all of Revolutionary Girl Utena (yeah, yeah, way to be 10 years late) and...holy crap am I into it right now. Why didn't I look into it before?? Though I suppose I'm happy that I watched it when I was a bit older because had I seen it around the same time I saw Eva and the rest I think all it would have amounted to was poorly drawn yuri.

Thought I'd draw Utena, though truthfully she wasn't my favorite character. It was all about Juri, man. The only one who could actually, you know, fence lol.

In other news, everyone was right--Iron Man is awesome. Probably one of the best superhero films I've seen yet.

Wah! I thought that was official Utena artwork!

And yeah, Iron Man was kinda cool.

official? :D Just as planned.

btw, I know there's already an Utena musical but I still can't help but wish that Takarazuka would perform it. I mean, it's not like they haven't done weirder stuff dammit. :(

Dude... I so have thought that for a while...

Your style works REALLY WELL with Utena. I had actually thought that was one of your art influences when I saw your drawings =D;

[maiteoida.livejournal.com]

Really? I get people (rightfully) citing CLAMP as an influence, but I've never heard Utena before XD; Oh well, not like they're too different I guess?

OH MAN UTENA. I still haven't watched the second season.

Also: YES TO JURI. <333

Watch it! Watchitwatchitwatchit.

Here, have a link. :D

Juri's my anime girlfriend.

I really like this!

[maiteoida.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm trying to focus on full body shots right now since it's good practice and...well, a lot more interesting to draw. :)

I purposly stop watching a lot of animes mid way through so that I can keep them in fond memory. Utena was one of them. Because I stopped watching it, I can still keep it in good memories ^^

Oh man Revolutionary Girl Utena is soooo good. One of my favorite anime EVAR. (at least, the tv series is...XD) Also, the soundtrack is pure love. ♥♥♥

OMG Utena looks so cute in your style! Draw Juri next. :P

[maiteoida.livejournal.com]

Already am working on a Juri picture :D I couldn't not draw her and her curly curls.

Utena GOOOOOOD! xD

Now you have to watch the Adolescence movie and let it completely destroy your interpretation of the original show. ;P

[maiteoida.livejournal.com]

I'll up you on that; I watched the movie BEFORE seeing the show. What a mindfuck that was.

But I did watch it again after seeing the show, and things made a LOT more sense. Only sometimes not.

[killsmanygopher.livejournal.com]

Lol! It was hard enough after seeing the show twice through! Kudos for watching the original episodes at all after that xD;
