I Played the Utena Saturn Game

12 Days of Aniblogging 2020, Day 2

I shied away from it in 2019, but this year I sank my teeth right back into Revolutionary Girl Utena. It’s simply the best anime! Of course, something as popular as RGU is bound to get some spinoffs. These range from the concurrently-published manga to a shitton of drama CDs to a takarazuka-styled stageplay. And then there’s the visual novel they made for the Sega Saturn, which I decided to go into blind because I thought it might make for some good blogging. I hope I was right!

Yep, this is our main character. God help us

The Utena Saturn game, which was translated in 2015 courtesy of an ohtori.nu user, tries its hardest to integrate itself into the show, pulling artwork, voice actors, soundtrack, and even some FMVs straight out of the series. As such, it feels like a pretty low-budget affair, but I wasn’t expecting anything too glamorous from a tie-in like this. Plotwise, it takes place somewhere towards the end of the show’s first arc, which in practice means that the characters are underdeveloped and less interesting than they could have been (and Nanami is practically a no-show). The plot plays out like a test-run for the Black Rose Arc, with characters gradually getting bent to the villain’s will as the protagonist is left in the dark.

What a coincidence, I put poison in your tea

We find ourselves playing as a personality-free transplant to Ohtori Academy who quickly gets swept under Utena’s wing. As far as yuri-pandering goes, it’s both liberal by Utena show standards and not much at all. As a female student, you can ask the women of the show if they have girlfriends, but you’ll pretty much always get laughed off and chastised for it. I guess that’s true to form for Akio’s academy? Anyways, the character of note here is Chigusa, the other new transfer student. First and foremost, she’s the goth dream girl that the show never quite got, and when she does the same “I get told I look like a boy” bit as Utena, it’s even funnier this time around, considering she’s wearing a dress with a lace-up front. Chigusa is obviously the going to draw the player’s attention the most, because she’s new and mysterious. And the game slaps you on the wrist for that! You see, Chigusa is straight-up evil, and doesn’t even make an attempt to hide it. She starts off by whispering you the wrong answer in math class, but by day three she is straight-up trying to assassinate your character, from tacks in a cake to kicking your lungs out during a soccer match to a poisoning attempt. Unfortunately, if you like Revolutionary Girl Utena, chances are you are a lesbian and thusly like horrible women doing terrible things. Getting any positive relationship points with her will subtract points from everyone else, pretty much sealing your fate if you interact with her more than once.

image

So you’ve sacrificed everything for Chigusa and all of the Student Council is effectively dead. Surely you’ll at least get some special bad ending, right? Maybe even a little bit of homoeroticism, as a treat.

image

Your reward is an incredibly brief scene in which your character trips down the dark therapy elevator, confesses that she has no real friends, and is dispatched unceremoniously by Utena in a Black Rose duel.

image

What a cruel game!

Playing through the game trying to get a real ending unfortunately doesn’t make our villain any more compelling. Like Professor Nemuro, Chigusa is a ghost from the past, a duelist who only wants to use the power of Dios to… travel back in time, steal your dad from your mom, and paradox you out of existence? It’s not even a half-baked ideology like the Student Council members have, it’s just a shitty scheme.

We do get an FMV duel between Chigusa and Utena, but it’s almost entirely made out of recycled frames from past duels, which makes sense given this game’s shoestring budget.

image

Me at myself before spending an entire evening trying to get my emulation setup to work since this is a two-disc game and that makes it extra finicky

My final thoughts on this game concern everyone’s favorite miracle-iconoclast. I’m a lesbian first and a gamer second, so obviously I picked the Juri route over the rest of the Student Council. It’s mostly standard fare, with her being initially cold, later incredibly distressed at how you admire her and Utena for being Duelists, and finally trusting you enough to let her in on the whole locket mess. Shiori doesn’t actually appear in the game, so Chigusa has to play her part in instigating drama, even making a pass at Juri and stealing her locket (As an aside, Kozue is here, exclusively to have a gay relationship with Chigusa to piss off Miki).

image

“How do you do, fellow lesbians”

It’s the ending of Juri’s route that really eats away at me. Unsurprisingly, your character catches feelings and doesn’t know how to process being in love with another girl, and Juri pretty much just laughs her off. But as your character prepares to leave the academy for good, Juri kisses her goodbye and hands you a locket with her own face in it.

image

You don’t have to be an expert in Juri’s arc to know that that’s one of the cruelest gifts she could have given to a fellow repressed lesbian.

  3. vamptoll said: Chigusa really was the perfect trap. Sadly my gf could not be seduced by her so my vote got overridden and we got juri route first. I like to think there’s some ambiguity in the final locket-The player character at least seems happy and to accept herself. She’s even able to tell Juri without any shame about her feelings, and she looks happy at the locket.

  6. merdermysteries said: Juri’s route ate at me too. None of your “romances” in the game work out, which is sort of fitting since it takes place early on in the show and everyone is too much of a mess emotionally to really have relationships, but Juri’s was especially rough. It really felt she was, consciously or unconsciously, sabotaging her own chances at happiness. It was a lot sadder than I expected to be from some random, tie in game
  7. merdermysteries said: As a queer women, Chigusa got me too, especially since (if I remember correctly) she has a dance scene with the protagonist too. Alas, no real route

I Was Going To Do A Comprehensive Writeup on Juri, But Then I Started A Playthrough Of Pokemon Platinum
12 Days of Aniblogging, Day 9 Major Revolutionary Girl Utena spoilers, as per usual The orange rose… it symbolizes grit, passion, obsession, and unrequited feelings. These are the kinds of strongly developed emotions that bubble up after years of trying to keep them hidden. Juri bears this rose with a certain dangerous resolve. She knows that it’s poison for her. Hell, she knows that the entire rose duelist system is poison. But she can’t do anything about it. She can’t be the one to revolutionize the world and break some coffins and torch the academy. She’s far too compromised under her rose’s qualities, and even with all the cold rationality she projects, she can’t shake the forbidden love that burns within her. if you can’t leave the academy behind yourself, you can at least let off steam by steering hopeful young girls away from your fate That would have been a really good topic to truly sink my teeth into! However, I instead spent my preparation days starting up a run of Pokemon Platinum. I haven’t played Sinnoh in about a decade, and there was a tiny corner of my brain that just kept yelling at me it’s time again. I finally gave in to that urge and pulled out my dusty Platinum cartridge and my newfangled metallic pink DS Lite and deleted my old self. GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL GIRL IM GIRL Juri has a big ol’ miracles complex, and it’s pretty easy to see where that comes from. Long ago, a girl offered her a rose and told her “believe in miracles and they will know your feelings”. This gesture is complicated because a) this is the girl that Juri likes, b) she knows that Juri likes her, and c) she’s a sociopath. Juri can’t shake her feelings no matter how hard she tries, and she’s not daft: she knows this love would be impossible, because Shiori would just endlessly use her, and also it’s 1997 and Ohtori Academy so being an open lesbian is not an option. This is what she means when she clutches her locket and wishes for a miracle – some magical way to cleanly resolve her feelings, or if it’s a particularly strong miracle, for them to be reciprocated. cutting Of course, this has all just been analysis based off of Episode 7, Juri’s first duel in the show. This is an episode I’m rather familiar with, having gone back and watched it individually because it’s just so damn good. But her world gets even more gnarled later down the line. We get to see Shiori’s side of the situation during the Black Rose arc, where we learn just how much she cares about Juri. Instead of romance, though, it’s this maddening cocktail of jealousy and paranoia and obsession that sends her down the elevator rather easily. In the third arc, Juri’s old fencing senpai Ruka comes back, providing the third vertex in the world’s most distressing love triangle. the mirror is of course the scariest part of the black rose arc In preparation for this section, I was planning on rewatching the Black Rose Shiori episode and the two Ruka/Juri episodes, because they’re a bit fuzzy in my head at this point. However, I didn’t succeed in that endeavor because I had already committed my night to Pokemon Platinum. After one hour and eighteen minutes of internal and external debate, I finally decided on my character’s name (the hardest part of any game, of course). And so, Anna set out on her Pokemon adventure, alongside her friend-turned-rival Carlyle. She picked Turtwig, because that’s the one Gen IV starter I’ve never used. The route to Jubilife City was long and arduous, but she made a new friend along the way…. One thing I do remember pretty freshly, though, is Movie Juri. She’s fairly unshackled on screen, as Shiori spends most of her time hanging out with Touga. While characters like Miki and Nanami hardly appear at all, Juri does manage to snag the big spectacle duel of the film. I like her portrayal in Adolescence of Utena a lot – while Show Juri’s facade gets torn apart within her first duel and she never really shakes the vulnerability, Movie Juri gets to relish in the image of herself she tries to project. Instead of bitter and compromised, she’s cocky and composed. She engages femininity on her own terms, really getting to show off her ‘princely’ side as she chides Utena for only playing the role halfway. She really does project that “I am better than you” aura, even if she does still get trounced in the end by an Utena who manages to out-prince her. just step around her! what a taunt One display of Juri’s raw talent in the show is the way she never really loses a duel. In her first duel, she straight up deflects Utena’s power of Dios through the sheer determination of declaring that “there are no such things as miracles.” What a sweet lie she tells herself to keep Shiori mentally at bay. The duel is famously concluded by Utena getting disarmed, her sword flying into the air and dramatically slicing through Juri’s rose. 20 episodes later, she gets her rematch. After her locket with Shiori’s picture gets shattered in her final duel, she flat-out forfeits. Losing her precious symbol object finally gave her the motivation to give up dueling and accept that there could be no such thing as miracles for a girl like her. Uhh in conclusion pokemon platinum! Here’s my team so far
Analyzing That One Adolesence Of Utena Scene Where Juri Makes A Pass At Miki
12 Days of Aniblogging 2020, Day 10 First things first: Adolescence of Utena is great! I’m not sure if people still have extremely divisive opinions on it or if we’ve all come around to a general consensus, but I’m firmly in the camp that digs it. It’s a mess in the best of ways – running fast and loose with the themes and imagery of the show and changing the framing just enough to force a new perspective and expand on the show’s existing metaphors in important ways. But it’s also dense, esoteric, and filled to the brim with scenes and entire characters that don’t seem to resolve themselves properly. Let’s look at my favorite! We begin half an hour into the movie with Student Council friends(?) Juri and Miki walking into a deeply sinister garage. We aren’t privileged enough to get a clear answer why, and the last few scenes have been an incredibly obtuse mix of vignettes. According to Juri, this garage leads to the End of the World, which is confirmed seconds later when Prince Dios is found just standing there. Unperturbed, Juri starts to grill Miki on why he’s even dueling in the first place. He offers the most macho response he can think of: that he just wishes to gain power. He’s betrayed by a car lift right behind him showing his sister’s name on a license plate. Juri makes a snide remark about his masculinity as the camera pans towards a rubber ducky, summoned from a previous scene in which Miki’s sister holds him at knifepoint for trying to emotionally move past her. It’s really a 3-hit combo! Miki is hardly in this movie, and the two scenes that he features heavily in really just rip him apart. If you take away his relationship with the Anthy (he doesn’t even get a duel in this movie), then he’s nothing. Miki is at the bottom of the Ohtori power rankings in the show as well, but here he doesn’t even have Touga to fuck his sister and force him out of passivity. He’s stumbling in the dark for some claim at power and getting totally emasculated in the process. Miki puts the question back on Juri, and she successfully dodges it without even using the word “miracles”. And then she does this. Why would Juri make a pass at Miki, and in such an unromantic place as the creepy prince garage? Utena’s openly gay in this version of the academy, so surely Juri shouldn’t have to burden herself with compulsory heterosexuality. The tank in the background says it all – it’s a power move through and through. Miki’s already had his masculinity buried to the ground after being overpowered by his sister and both Juri and the camera saw right through his posturing. He’s already a feminine boy by any account (especially with the movie mullet), so having a lesbian flirt with him is just a coup de grace for his masculinity. Then Shiori shows up. As it turns out, the darkness of the garage leads not to End of the World, but to Shiori, although they might as well be the same to Juri. After an obvious lie as to why she’s here, Shiori starts blackmailing and manipulating Juri so that she’ll have to duel Utena. Why she’s doing this is kind of unclear, but what’s obvious is that Miki can only stand there and watch this happen. In a sense Miki is playing surrogate for Ruka here – he’s the third point on this reconfigured triangle, and now would be the perfect time to step in and try to ‘save’ Juri from herself. But he can’t even match up to a shitty ghost, so he just gets to watch this happen and fade away from relevance for the rest of the movie, just like Ruka’s fate. Miki ends the film with a chance to escape the academy alongside his student council buddies, but they all decline to take that left exit, saying that they’ll join Utena and Anthy on the other side eventually. It’s not his time yet. Miki still has some deep hangups before he can resolve to be his own person. For now he’s stuck in the academy, his coffin, his unsmashed eggshell. At least the most toxic male authority figures are all ghosts this time. Speaking of cracking eggs, I give Miki 3-5 years tops before he transitions. Frankly, if a lesbian had flirted with me at an impressionable age, I would have given it a shot way earlier.
Utena and She-Ra Both Have Princesses So I’m Legally Obligated To Comment On That
12 Days of Aniblogging, Day 3 The new She-Ra show is, of course, not an anime. Not that that matters in any way. Watching through She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, I was kind of praying that it would do something interesting with its role of Princess. It’s in the subtitle after all! And I generally trust Noelle Stevenson with my life. Alas, the princess construct isn’t built up and destroyed like I was kind of kind of hoping for, but at the least, it’s played around with on the fringes. We’ve got princesses like Glimmer who are exactly what you’d expect from an animated princess show: plucky and ready to die for her friends. Then there’s Mermista, a millennial take on the Mean Stuck-Up Princess. She’s got that classic snotty disdain for everything and everyone around her, but that’s not caused by her being spoiled or anything, she’s just bored and depressed as shit. Entrapta finally manages to carve new princess grounds: she doesn’t really care about social relationships except in the context of observing them. She’s very into machinery and treats friendship as a form of social tech. Nobody in the show really knows what to make of her, but I for one respect a morally vague Gordian princess when I see one. And that’s about it for role examination. This is a very good show! However, it does not play around with its classifications nearly enough for me to write the full analysis post that I wanted to. Everyone’s a princess! And that’s the end of that. So what made me want to write this angle in the first place? It’s Utena. Of course it’s Utena. I’d say that this show completely poisoned my mind if I didn’t like working with it so much. Utena is, of course, all about the self-destructive worship of fairytale roles. If you’re a guy you get to climb your way up the princely ladder, your placement determined by how convinced in your ideals and much of a creep you are. If you’re a girl you get to be a princess, or maybe a witch. The show spends 39 episodes building up a world that plays by these rules, with ever-increasing red flags and warning signs on literally every prince, until finally someone gets the chance to revolutionize the world and the castle crumbles. The movie pulls all this off in 2 hours, because cars can move much faster than people. The Night Of The Ball My favorite kinds of media are the ones that provide systems of classification and analysis. This is why Homestuck is so appealing to me on a fundamental level. It contains relationship quadrants, classes, aspects, dream planets, and so many more ways to pin characters down. You can dig deep into what these labels mean, but as long as you’ve got a base understanding you can extend them to literally any other piece of media. Tag yourself! Tag your friend’s OCs! Say stupid shit like “Utena Tenjou is a Prince of Breath”! At worst it’s silly fun, at best it can give you entirely new outlooks on existing media. The main system that Revolutionary Girl Utena brings to the table is the roses. Each duelist bears a color-coded rose that signifies what their deal is – orange for longing and hopeless faith, red for a princely-savior complex, black for the really repressed shit, the list goes on. It’s always nice to have a classification system for whatever fundamental life problems bind you as a person. Other systems include the prince/princess dueling dichotomy (“So who pulls the sword in this relationship?”), and what kind of specific tic you have. It’s Utena’s attitude towards the prince and princess titles that has infested my brain the most. These days, when a piece of media presents these tired roles, I go in expecting that they’ll be ripped apart at some point. When She-Ra failed to do that, I was a little disappointed at first, but also I completely understand. This is a kid’s show (maybe? It’s hard to tell these days what the demographic is), and it’s not just gonna rip into the tropes that kids are so innately familiar with. She-Ra is doing enough good by having a diverse cast of princesses, especially the ones that can be easily read as neurodivergent. Not everything has to be Utena, and honestly, that’s a very good thing. But I still go into everything vaguely fairytale-esque with the framework of Utena, and while it leads to some interesting results, it’s probably a habit I shouldn’t stick to forever.
cardcaptor sakura eternal gushpiece
12 Days of Aniblogging, Day 2 If you asked me in 2017 or earlier what my favorite animes were, I’d absolutely fumble over my answer. But nowadays, I can say with absolute clarity, “Oh! It’s Revolutionary Girl Utena and Cardcaptor Sakura.” Much has been extolled about the former, and it’ll probably creep its way into every single other blog post I write, so I’ll use this space to write about the latter instead. To me, Cardcaptor Sakura is first and foremost a celebration of how cool it is to be a girl. Of course, literally every old magical girl show carries this theme, but CCS’ interpretation was the one that stuck with me the most. From the moment she starts rollerblading to school, Sakura displays this crazy fervor for life. She does everything to the fullest, practicing for the cheer team, cooking for her friends and family, and dealing with the weight of puppy love. She loves her friends and has a strong plucky side to her too. If Usagi from Sailor Moon is emblematic of depression, then Sakura is the polar opposite: being packed full of euphoria and trying your hardest to spread it around to everyone you know. Her “Everything will be alright!” catchphrase is rivaled only by Maya Amano’s “Let’s positive thinking!” in terms of boundless hope. Her other signature line, “uwehhh!” is a catch-all for all sorts of flustered, surprised, scared, and ambiguous moments that are bound to happen, and sometimes you just gotta face them head-on by crying out.  It’s an anime about just what exactly the pure heart of a girl can accomplish… and that’s a lot! Continuing where I left of yesterday with fashion, this show’s got a very fun sense of it. Sakura’s best friend Tomoyo is a child prodigy seamstress that just really wants to make Sakura cute outfits, both for battle and for leisure. There are new outfits every episode, which range from “this is silly” to “this is extremely 90s” to “I really, really want this one”. Seriously, I get far-flung fantasies of starting up a Cardcaptor Sakura streetwear line, because some of these looks are just so good. where to cop that poncho??? Tomoyo is just a really sweet character all around! It took a while for me to notice the way she’s always clasping her arms together when around Sakura. Is this just defensive body language? Is this the physical tic of a longing for an impossible romance? Is she just always praying for her because she’s a devout Christian? Who can say! (spoiler: she’s gay, but all 3 at once is fun) I admire her selfless dedication so much, you can see how much she loves Sakura in everything she does. I’m also very curious exactly how her family situation came to be. Once I finish this watchthrough, I promise I’ll write a followup essay on Why Tomoyo’s Mom Is A Political Lesbian . her hands they’re doing the thing The soundtrack is a really specific delight. The best point of comparison is the N64 Paper Mario’s soundtrack. Just this really whimsical late-90’s jaunt full of flutes and dreams. It’s delightful. One of the saddest parts of watching the 2018 continuation Clear Card Arc was that while they were clearly attempting to drown viewers in nostalgia, the new music failed to evoke any of the same vibes. Eventually they gave up and just starting using the old music again, and any scene that switched between old and new was real jarring.  Some stray thoughts: I love the animax dub of this show! This is one of those dubs where everyone compensates for language speed differences by speaking really slowly and accentuated. Gives it a real laid back vibe. The first ending song, Groovy, is one of my all-time favorites. It gets endlessly stuck in my head, and I’ve even used it in song mashup projects. god this show is so cozy kinda wish I knew how to rollerblade… BRAND NEW LOVE SONG HALLE HALLELUJAH

Anime Taxonomy
12 Days of Aniblogging, Day 10 Look, my phone notes just said “Anime Taxonomy”. That’s all we’ve got here. Naturally, the day before this blog post was due I wove a far-flung plan of pulling all the anime genres from MAL and messing around and creating fake organizational hierarchies. To fulfill this bit, I downloaded Protégé, which is a renowned free and open-source taxonomy program. Alas, it is not going to be possible to figure out this program in a day, much less make anything funny out of it. So instead, I’m going to talk about some of the free and open-source (FOSS) software I use to participate in anime fandom. 1. Inkscape Inkscape is a powerful vector editing tool, and you can tell just how powerful it is by the fact that it takes like 2 minutes to open, even off of an SSD. :/ anyways, if you’ve ever wanted to make those minimalist anime graphics and don’t want to pirate Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape is totally serviceable once you get the hang of it. The “Trace Bitmap” tool is surprisingly effective at vectorizing even relatively complex images, and tweakable to the nth degree when it fails. Expect to be googling a lot of hotkeys and basic functions though. That’s the thing about FOSS software – you can really tell it was made by power user hobbyists instead of UX designers. These programs always have fairly high learning curves (that taxonomy software…) but do the job quite well once you’ve figured out a suitable workflow. Good stuff! 2. Aegisub We as anime viewers are seriously graced that Aegisub exists. It’s a comprehensive FOSS subtitling tool, geared towards anime. If you’ve watched any fansub in the last decade, chances are that it was made with this. And for good reason! The basic timing and styling functions of Aegisub are fairly intuitive, and under the hood are dozens of  specific tools for more advanced styling and animation. I’ve worked on timing and QC for a few subbing groups in my time, and I have so much appreciation for this piece of miracle software. I’ve even heard that some professional companies use it! 3. MKVToolNix So once we’ve got our subtitle file, how do we splice everything together? With MKVToolNix of course. As you probably know, most anime downloads come served in the .mkv format, a file container for video, audio, subtitle, font, and chapter files. If you want to make one yourself you can use MKVToolNix to combine everything into that comprehensive .mkv file, ready to be put up on nyaa or wherever. Its sister tool, MKVExtractGUI, does the opposite, splitting apart an MKV into its base parts, which is equally useful. looks kinda ugly! but gets the job done. the FOSS mantra Ultimately, the open-source software community is crucial for delivering those precious animes to you. It’s worth reflecting on and thanking them and maybe donating your money or coding skill if you can! Taxonomy, on the other hand, is bullshit.
