two things: one, i learned today that the lesbian bear anime that debuted last year is being directed by ikuhara and my response was 'well of course it is'
latest #91

and two, i also learned ikuhara's dream is to collborate with david lynch at some point and i can only pound my fists on the table and scream WHY HASN'T THIS HAPPENE DYET

he's he the dude who tried to explain that utena and anthy turning into naked race cars at the end of the utena movie was a metaphor for them going out into the world without protection or smth

yup

2016-01-15T06:26:39.000Z
which -- actually isn't a bad interpretation

it's not meant to be literal iirc
romanoff
2016-01-15T06:27:30.000Z
but he also answers questions as troll-ish as possible too because he wants people to come to their own conclusions lmao

naked race cars tho
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:29:30.000Z
i blame all my familiarity with utena on my best friend back in high school tho because she lived with me my senior year and we would literally come back after school and watch utena while we did hw
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:30:03.000Z
and for some reason we watched the utena movie sped up so akio falling out the window wound up being the funniest shit to us ever

2016-01-15T06:34:13.000Z
i saw so much shoujo ai in high school because my friend had such a hard time dealing with her own sexuality in the beginning and when i was so chill about it she basically wound up dragging me through it all
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:34:15.000Z
with her
romanoff
2016-01-15T06:34:54.000Z
yeah that's why i clung to utena so badly
romanoff
2016-01-15T06:35:09.000Z
i was trying to figure out what my sexuality was
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:35:18.000Z
i even own some things that are technically hers but she was afraid to keep them at home so she kept them at my house instead

aw ;;
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:36:50.000Z
i don't know why but gay or straight was literally never an issue for me it was figuring out that i was ace aro that took time
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:38:03.000Z
like even in middle school i was very casual about "like the person not their gender" and had no issue telling friends i was "bi" if they asked (i didn't figure out the ace thing til college)
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:39:30.000Z
but utena was a huge part of my high school life because of her so i'll always look back on it fondly
genтle ιdealιѕт
2016-01-15T06:39:38.000Z
because back then it was incredibly important
My friend made this and I feel it is fun to share whenever someone brings up Ikuhara in this kind of context...

That knitting needle line could pass for canon and I wouldn't notice

2016-01-15T06:47:59.000Z
are we sure it's not canon
"oh, did Anthy knit in an episode? Was she ever that open about it? Are they in the dorm? That was pretty early, right?"
(open about the stabbing I mean)
