Am I the only one who didn't hate Arjuna? I just got the DVDs through a trade, and am kinda enjoying it. Although it's animation is very very heavy on computers, I don't think it's that bad at all. It is very... unique and does have some bad point.
Like when Juna just barely survived this huge and life threatening illness, she suddenly cringed and held her stomach, and her moms like 'OH MY GOD JUNA WHATS WRONG' and Juna grins and says 'Im hungry' and her mom smiles and says something like 'Oh Juna!', I woulda beat the damn girl to the ground. :mad:
Though I admit Bandai's trailer made it seem a lot cooler then it is (made it seem like a new Escaflowne) and the opening sequence of episode 1 that I found online also made it seem great, I was a little let down, but I still am gonna finish the series.
Utena TV is one of the most under-deserved animes ever. I've seen the TV show get the highest ratings at many many review sites, and it hit my #1 list and has been there for a LONG time ever since I finished it. I got it all on digisub, and only watched episode 1 because its theme song was so perfect. I kept going to around 12 out of curiousity, and then when I hit the Black Rose Saga (14-24) I was watching at a huge rate, and then episode 25 came.... and I was so awed by that episode I watched all of it up to 33. Then I realized I lost the CD with 34-39 (the end).
One month later, I found it, and it had THE BIGGEST surprise ending. Out of nowhere, ...well I can't say it.. but I had to watch it a bunch of times to make sure it really happened. Greatest show ever, and with some awesome songs. And lesbians.
