Lolita, a film by erotic thriller director Adrian Lyne, premiered in September 1997, if you were in Europe. Episode 30 of Revolutionary Girl Utena came out in October 1997. It's unlikely one of these inspired the other. No. It's worse. This is the strength of a shared language of boundary violation.

Feste's scans were gorgeous right out! But for the first set, as well as these, what I did is scan *twice*, because the shadow cast in each direction makes the cut outs impossible. By scanning from each direction, I could layer the two scans and combine the white space from each. SO much work.

Correction genga for Revolutionary Girl Utena, episode 34, scanned by Thanatos! The first draft shows a visibly older Dios than the corrections return, showing the deliberate effort on the animator's part to mess with Dios' age from shot to shot in the flashback.

There IS a super rare Utena and Anthy piece. It's listed at like $250 dollars so I tapped out, but I did get the stickers with their images, which you can see in the gallery. Why yes, I'm annoyed not to have the whole thing. But that's okay. What I have is yours!! Enjoy!

These Utena blind swap acrylics required two scans each, from opposing angles, that I then had to merge and combine, to account for glare on the lens because the print is behind the acrylic. They were miserable, and now there is another set to scan coming your way!

Revolutionary Girl Utena premiered on Wednesday, April 2nd, 1997. "We entrusted (Utena) with showing the nature of humans to defy their own instincts and norms, because that brilliance is what we wanted to depict. Whether or not we succeeded in this endeavor remains to be seen." - Yoji Enokido
