And the winner for the series with the most annoying songs ever is~~

~.: I'm not sure if I can stand to sit through very many more episodes of Utena. But I really really want to finish watching the series before I watch the movie for my thesis. I hate watching movies without having seen the series first. D: I'm getting really sick of the same songs playing over and over and over and over though. And they're not

BTW your icon is very cute :-)
Yeah...Utena is kind of a brain-breaking series, especially with the theme songs. I had a friend explain it all to me as we marathoned it over a few weeks, so I had help :-P Ultimately I enjoyed it, but yeah, the theme songs get to be a bit much. I can tell you more about Utena if you'd like to make the process less painful :-P FYI the movie is pretty much the series with some more emphasis on certain thematic element. Still, you definitely want the series behind it so the movie can make more sense :-P And you are totally allowed to skip the stuff they repeat: they only change them a few times when big things are about to happen. :-) And there are at least one or two episodes you can skip without losing anything central to the story.

Yeah, I'm beginning to realize that. I just started on the Black Rose Arc, so I've got a long way to go. :x I'm hoping to be done with it before the end of tomorrow so that I can watch the movie and start/finish watching the other ones I need.

[fireflowerlass]

Good call. Best of luck with all of that!

What's your thesis on again?

[fushigi_na_chou]

Sexuality in anime- how it's expressed and how accurately it depicts Japanese thinking about sex and sexuality.

You can pretty much skip most of the actual duals. lol. And I kinda like the dual music, but only because I wasn't marathoning the series. It would get annoying if I had to watch a whole bunch of it in a row, I'm sure.
*sings* "Zettai...unmei...MOKUSHIROKU!!!" XDD

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate that song!! ><" And the duels are interesting; I like watching them. Especially the ones were there is some dialogue; and plus, I like watching Utena become the prince. XD

There's really only incidental links between the movie and the series. The only thing you would not get if you didn't see the series first is the Nanami cow. The rest of it is just unadulterated weirdness.

[fushigi_na_chou]

Oh. And I just finished watching the Nanami cow episode. But I also wanna be sure I know who everyone is. There are some characters that don't have names yet. :x

[on_dragon_wings]

lol, Nanami cow... "Nanimoooooo"

AHAHAHA I loved that series. XD; But I watched it like...uh...5 or 6 years ago. XD The music isn't the best out there no but it's ok. Where are you downloading it from?

[fushigi_na_chou]

Someone has it uploaded to an LJ community. :>

The series is good, but not for marathons. Not good for marathons at all. I've been watching six or seven straight hours of it. My head is basically ready to explode. >.o

[hideincarnate]

Which community? =X

Yeah, I think we only watched a few episodes at time when I watched it...
Hahahha! XD
