media post again! utena, judas, becoming three
If you saw, Utena, watch this. Now.
One of the best things since peanut butter right there. I laughed so hard at the fandom commentary ("If it was a badfic, I probably posted it on a livejournal thread for everyone to laugh at") as well as the racial commentary ("It's 2011, you don't have to call any white man master!"). And all the phallic stuff ("...did you just cut off my phallic symbol of masculinity?!"). And hood!Dios is one of the best things since sliced bread ("White boy ain't got no game!"). The trailer also has more epic hood!Dios ("gurl, you better take this motherfucking ring"). The music/sfx/voice acting sounds pretty good too (although Saionji sounds like Little Kuriboh to me, lol; and Juri's voice~).
I am so waiting for more. In other SKU news; I pre-ordered the first 2 box sets (OMG Ruka/Juri/Shiori box art!) in my fit of post-regatta blues. In retrospect, buying Witch Hunter Robin probably would've been more practical, since it's one of the few series I've rewatched.
As for Judas. I don't suppose this is her way of making amends for Born This Way? What with Jesus and his homies are PoC and Mary and Judas are the sole white people. Yeah, thought not. The religious stuff went over my head, but her death at the end was left-field for me (the outfit, the lack of Gaga sass). Orgasmic wave didn't make mush sense but a forum-goer interpreted it as a commentary women taking hold of her sexuality and society's disapproval of. Still looking for interpretation, lol. Gibson's comments made me think it's more commentary on fame and what not. I did like her J-pop golden ringlets in her close-ups. The live on Ellen had me wondering if Laurianne Gibson had lost it, but the choreo's good.
Oh, Cameron Dane's Becoming Three also gets a shot-out. I start to read (and get a good chunk into) a lot of romance novels, but finish very few. Becoming is one of the ones I did finish. FYI, it's a menage romance (mmf), and quite honestly I would've loved to have the whole thing just deal with Jace and Jas because their romance was so adorkable and I wanted more of it. Which led me to go and look at Dane's other m/m stuff (interestingly, her website lists if the romances are f/m, mm, mmf, etc), which somehow incorporate demons into cowboy romances. Lol, yeah, that was part of why I picked her other books up, I was like "...wtf, Becoming has nothing to do with demons, so how does the rest of the books have demons?!"
