Revolutionary Girl Utena - 29

Filed under: Finished Series:/Revolutionary Girl Utena

Okay! Now it all gets clear. The previous episode was just a big prologue of this one. As expected, it’s a Yuri episode, but this one’s damn intense. Probably one of the most intense episodes so far in the series. We get to see yuri break down, Ruka being a bigger asshole than he already was and a climax that you certainly will not expect. It also Appears that Ruka was just meant to give Yuri some more character development. I wonder if we’ll see him again, as the ending of the episode shows some sign of character development on his side as well…

It’s also clear to me that this show doesn’t really have a main character. Yes, of course there are Utena and Himemiya, but they don’t really get more airtime than the other characters, probably even less. Especially in the latest episodes. It’s great to see a variation like this, especially when it’s so well carried out.

Anyway, we’ve had Sayonji, Miki, Ruka and Yuri. All that’s left is Nanami, Touga and the school presidend whose name I forgot. This gets more interestig by the minute.

Somehow, I’ve got the feeling that this episode was shorter then the other episodes. However, when I checked the timing, it appeared just as long as any other episode… strange…

Anyway, this time, we see the introduction of another new character, who’ll probably get to play some kind of badguy-role. We first get the impression that this will be a Yuri-episode, but after a while it seems that this episode will be focused around the new guy and his new found girlfriend, Shiori. I liked the climax at the end. It shows that this new guy, although annoying as hell, can prove to be an interesting character.

I may be wrong, but this is the first time i’ve actually seen hail in anime. Perhaps the first time I’ve seen hail on television as well… Why are the movie makers and such so afraid to add hail into the show? It happens pretty often, doesn’t it?

Anyway, this episode was another masterpiece. We see a certain character return in this episode. This time, his hobby has caused hhim some problems, and it’s up to Gin to solve it. The woman’s story was also amazingly told. I could really feel along with her. And it was so beautiful to see the kids get healed.

I’m only wondering why it was so convienient fr Gin to be in the neighbourhood, and the woman also lived relatively close by. I wonder what would have happened when they were a fair distance removed from each other.
