I think this is the first time I've seen Nadescio icons. You win.

gargantsurprise May 17 2009, 22:48:57 UTC

Oh no no no, you win! There's no community to advertise the poor Nadesico icons, now I'm just delighted that at least one person recognises the series! :>

Nadescio needs more love. A lot of older series need more love.

Oh, talking about older series, you also win for having an insane amount of Utena icons.

Nadesico was one of the first anime I ever watched, so it's always gonna have a special place in my heart. I only watched Utena very recently though! And goodness, I adore it. ♥

I'm in love with Wakaba. |3

gargantsurprise May 17 2009, 23:50:57 UTC

Wakaba, huh? *takes note!* (She is wonderful, this is true.)

asdfghjkl Nadesico!! You rock for making these :D!
Snagged some from the Nadesco & ToS set & will credit, awesome icons :).

gargantsurprise May 18 2009, 00:40:32 UTC

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like them! And another Nadesico fan! \o/

crossfires May 18 2009, 00:56:35 UTC

You're welcome :)
There's not enough of us out there D: It's such a good series, it deserves much more love.

gargantsurprise May 18 2009, 01:01:49 UTC

I agree! I'll definitely be capping my DVD's and making a lot more icons for it in the future :>

Utena has incest, pedophilia, more incest, homosexuality, incest, discourse on fairytale constructs such as princes and princesses and whether a girl can fulfill the role of 'prince', and... more incest! Actually to be fair that might be one incest too many. ANYWAY I LIKE IT. It's surreal (as in a conscious artistic choice, not just 'wow this is so disjointed I can't follow what's happening'), so it's just full of all this compelling imagery and metaphor. I think it's the sort of thing you could write reams and reams about.

SO IT'S REALLY MY KIND OF SERIES YAY.

Nadesico, I still want to make a post about. So I'll leave it for now. :B

The best part is, it's absolutely 100% not sensationalised. It's just there, it just is, it's part of the story and the characters and who they are, and it doesn't ever feel like a gimmick so much as a genuine exploration. And hahah, man, I had no idea about any of this when I first watched, so I was all 'ahahah, oh anime, for a minute there I thought they were implying -this-!'. AND THEN.

But yeah, as a series it manages to remain offbeat and lighthearted. Just, you know, it'll punch you occasionally. >:| just like good anime should. But yeah, it's got great drama but it's never melodramatic, it's got ridiculous humour but the characters never stop being real and engaging. I REALLY LIKE UTENA A LOT.

I could probably upload the first few episode for you, if you want? :O (although not tonight XD)
