Time stamp, pleaseee?

@@happysingingpeople4859 24:12 :)

Are you ironic?

@@topolino026 I don't recall Anthy being that pale, personally, but if they think she fits, that's just their opition.

Right? It doesn't even sound like she's singing live but she is!!!!!!!!!!!

omg

I NEVER NOTICED THAT HOLY SHIT

Indeed no heterosexual explanation of this

You can also have bells rung during or after funerals. “By all means, stay in your cosy coffin.”

Oh so that's why they're winning the rose bride when they won the duel!

If I have one problem with this, it's that they didn't unclude her anime backstory. I know it's different in the manga but I'd love to have seen the actress get at least a couple of lines about Shiori

IKR????

This compels me to watch it even more now

HAKSJKKKKKKKKK MORRI

na---- juri was literally become heterosexual dude （I nearly wanna cry----

explanations rarely fuck

It's Utena.

It only needs the gay explanation.

This comment made me realise this and made me crumble to dust while eating in the kitchen, holding the counter for support at 3 AM

@@hat7475 I’m sorry!! I can’t believe they did that though

to be fair, Juri has a crush on Touga in the manga. That's probably where they pulled it from

They do it in the manga, too. I don’t like it. It’s so antithetical to her character. She’s all about *unrequited* love. That makes sense with Shiori. With Touga? How am I supposed to believe that two wealthy popular kids are star-crossed lovers? I always like to pretend that the “love” here is a reference to the boy who drowned heroically rescuing another kid. Juri mentions this kid in the show and, in the movie, Touga is cast as the boy. Juri’s surname has etymological connections to rivers… it all fits. So yeah, whenever I see them rewriting Juri as into Touga I just try to think about her being attached to him through that platonic lens. It makes it easier for me to work what I’m seeing and reading into the larger Utena narrative, of which Juri is basically always gay.

@@marrusorthocanna1897 Yeah, *but* it is worth noting that the manga was written by Chiho Saito. She also worked on the show as an artist. However, while she has re-iterated her tolerance for homosexual relationships, she was skeptical of Ikuhara’s decision to include WLW relationships in the show. Her perspective was that the show was for *girls,* and *most girls are straight,* so making characters canonically gay would disassociate the audience from the characters. And, thus, the general anti-gender role message. She even threatened to leave the show’s team if Ikuhara pushed the matter in the show. That’s partially why the show relies on subtext and the movie is explicit - Ikuhara was willing to compromise artistically because he valued Chiho’s artistry. All of this is to say that Chiho clearly had a vision for the show that differs from Ikuhara. She wasn’t cool with canonical on-screen gayness in the show, and so it makes sense that she would retroactively censor things in her manga re-telling. I don’t agree with her artist decisions - and I suspect most would agree with me - but I still respect her. She is an accomplished professional woman and artist during a difficult period in Japan’s modern history. You gotta give her props for trying to make something aesthetically engaging for girls. However, I think the message of the story is the same, regardless of how you read the nature of the dyad. Like, Juri *cares* about people like Touga. I think that’s the main takeaway. Regardless of whether it’s platonic or because he was the drowned boy or it’s romantic or whatever. The *point* is that she’s more tenderhearted than she seems.

but like... I'm curious, since that jokes subtitled either eight/ate are also homonyms in japanese or there's some sorta similar saying that indirectly translated? idk

@@user-qn5fz2lo3e i was about to say the same. How does that translate over to Japanese?

@@user-qn5fz2lo3e The japanese puns are based on homonyms of numbers and English words transcribed in Japanese. They literally say: “One plus one equals three (三san) San (サン) means the sun (太陽taiyou) right? Feels bright… Wow, dazzling! Two plus two equals five (五go) Go (ゴ) means let’s go (行けike) We don’t have a choice, do we? What? In what way?” Sorry this is a very literal translation and thus feels very awkward… Obviously the puns are lost in translation, so it’s nice that whoever did the subs kept the spirit of the number-based silly jokes!

Yes^^

To bad the singer has retired...

Yeah, the musical was basically the anime if it was just season 1 with a random Akio cameo at one point. Which I mean, I get why they did that, I'm surprised they even managed to stuff one whole season in there. Still, it's kinda funny how completely antithetical to the actual anime this is, even if it's a very nice performance. I think the Utena manga actually did something similar so maybe they based it on that

@@Fannintendociccio1 We're on the same wavelength here. I also enjoyed the hell out of this musical. The format just came at a cost. Didn't know that about the manga. Tried to buy it to check it out some time ago, but couldn't cuz old stuff. Maybe I won't try again in the future.

@@izellets7361 ah ehy there again, so yeah from what I've heard the original manga had the whole thing played straight, aka Utena truly becoming a prince for anthy. Also various characters aren't a thing, shiori for example, and nanami was just a photograph lol. Another commentator mentioned Juri having a thing for touga in the manga and this musical actually I think mentions it at one point? So that's probably another hint they used the manga more. The natural hair colors is another thing in common I've read the other day the manga they did a couple years ago for the 20th anniversary which seem to follow up on the anime specifically after everyone has graduated and it seems to be good, I'd suggest looking it up online, there's just a small thing in it I'm not entirely sure of but otherwise a nice send off to the student council people. After commenting on this video here I've actually found 2 WAY longer musicals on RU-vid of Utena, 2 hours each that go through the first and then second season, I've just seen a couple of clips but it seems to have double budget and way more fidelity to the anime so definitely check it out. I'm just super sad there isn't one for Utena opening anthy's coffin finale :(

“Lesbians who reproduce heterosexual dynamics”. Oh, *shut up.* By definition all lesbian relationships have homosexual dynamics. This is just so absurd.

And Sanae Kimura - the first Haruka!

I wish chu chu was a puppet

Just gals being pals

there is no heterosexual explanation for Utena as a whole haha

Oh come on. Something happened between her and the Indian guy in the anime, right?

Hahah ahh ahaha

@@firiaerdegard7970 Bisexual is still not heterosexual

This covered the Student Council Arc of the anime series.

Akio was here, so I got all excited for a big dance-off...and then realized there was like 5 minutes left. T_T I wish the cast had gotten to do the other arcs like the latest Sera Myu musicals did.

hey ik im three years late but its on here! it's called utena white bud slime tutorial by leo

oh shoot bestie I GOT you! so go to the search bar and type” revolutionary girl utena girls season” A Channel by the name Mary has uploaded that song and all the others hope that helped😋✨

br ta em todo lugar impressionante

assiste ai uthena a garota revolucionária , mt bom

I'm guessing that the girl playing Utena is a known singer who the producers wanted to remain recognizable; she does have a pink streak.

Everyone's hair was dyed, rather than it being wigs. It was a bit jarring until I looked closely and saw that, yes, everyone had a tint to their hair like their anme counterparts.

@@ingonyama70 that's awesome! :0

She is not! This lady is a Takarazuka alumni, with the screen name Yu Daiki. Utena's voice actress for the series is Tomoko Kawakami, who is, unfortunately, no longer with us. The Blu-ray includes a tribute to her.

Thanks for the info!

I just noticed that you are credited in the video at 58:05 for the translation, if that’s any consolation.

WHOA yea you should totally be getting credit, why isnt this top comment

damn

That sucks! Thanks for the translations! I especially like how you adapted the puns in the Shadow Girls song!

Sanae Kimura

never been to myu, her name is Gou Mayuka

@@harukaru84 I was so sure she was Yuga Yamato, she looks and sounds EXACTLY like her in the Tuxedo Mask role. I guess that wouldn't make sens;e this musical was over 20 years ago.

@@ingonyama70 Gou Mayuka is from class 64, Yuga is from class 81 there is about 20 years difference in seniority between them.

Also some random trivia: Katsuragi Nanaho who plays Saionji is from class 73, and she has also done the Japanese voice of Setsuka in the Soul Calibour games

@@ingonyama70 I thought it was Yuga at first too!!

no, but 3 former members of it are playing in this

in the manga, juri likes touga

@yorgi i know but i mean why juri always fall in love with some jerks???
