KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 8. "Going to the beach, as expected." "Ack! Creepy sudden zoom-in!" "...Why in the world would having a flat chest be any cause for concern to anyone? People are so strange." "What the heck are those?" "Tamaki's charming another random girl again. Ugh." "A little hermit crab." "Looks like Haruhi can charm the girls, too." "...and Tamaki's delusional, as usual." "The juxtaposition of Tamaki imagining Haruhi saying things that she would never say is kind of bizarre." "Where'd all those crabs come from?" "Oh, well, that explains it. Sort of." "It's just a centipede. No need to react like it's a zombie." "Haruhi seems to have spontaneously attracted all the girls." "That sounds like a terrible game. That's what I just said, Tamaki." "Really, guys? Really?" "Oh, they're at Okinawa. Huh." "That is totally not going to work at all." "Well, at least we know that Honey's claustrophobic." "Ooh, snakes." "Wow, what a bunch of creeps who just showed up out of nowhere." "Attacking them with sea urchins. Good for Haruhi." "Haruhi can't actually swim, can she." "At least she tried." " 'But it doesn't matter that they're boys and I'm a girl. I was there I had to do something.' Thank you!" "Tamaki, don't call her an idiot. That's mean." "So what if she's a girl?!" "You tell him, Haruhi." "Ouch. That's harsh." "They don't look yummy to me at all. Yuck." "Nice dress." "Ew." "In-crab-able? Really?" "Teenagers." "Just ask Honey to teach you martial arts. That's what I just said, Hikaru. Or is it Kaoru?" "Um, no! She doesn't need to apologize!" "But no one else did anything, didn't even try to help!" "Maybe because they all care about her?" "She still shouldn't have to apologize." "Oh, so the twins at least did something." "That's not Kyoya...is it? No, it is, but why is he acting so strange?" "What...the...Hel." "Of course a person's sex or gender doesn't matter! What is wrong with him?" "A nice guy? A nice guy?! Not forcing someone to do something they don't want to do--that's not nice, that's just basic decency! What...just...what..." "Tamaki ex Machina?" "Well, you found out what she's afraid of." "Hey, for all Tamaki knows, it could lead to Narnia." "Well, of course she wants to do everything by herself. That's how she's used to living." "Finally he apologizes." "This is actually kind of a sweet scene. I like it." " 'I promise you'll never be alone again.' Awwwwww." " 'What could possibly go wrong?' Famous last words." "...What? I don't understand this at all." Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 9. "Wait, purple roses? What happened to the red ones?" "How convenient that no one's ever mentioned it until this episode." "Here comes gamer girl again, ready and willing to be annoying." "Haruhi accidentally got the club addicted to instant coffee. That's actually quite funny." "What are they doing?" "With haircuts like that, no wonder they didn't have friends. [Just kidding.]" "Oh, hey, a Gameboy SP. Looks almost like some sort of Super Mario Bros. game." "I'm more than a little tired of the 'girl joins a group and gradually helps the members become kinder and open up more' cliche, to be honest." "Where'd that monkey come from?" "Who the heck is this?" "That's actually some rather impressive armour. I don't even want to know how much it all cost." "Wow. This girl is...really blunt." "...and this other girl is...sexist against guys?" "Er. That's awkward." "Wait, they know she's a girl? ...Are they...gay?" "Wow. So blunt and rude." "Lobelia? Isn't that the name of that irritating relative of Bilbo's in the Lord of the Rings, the one who keeps stealing his spoons?" "What even...? What the heck is going on?" "I'm glad everyone else looks completely confused." "Here comes gamer girl again, ready and willing to deliver exposition that no one wants." "Um. Very sexist against guys." "Hikaru [or possibly Kaoru] is playing a DS! It's even silver like mine! I paused to see what game he's playing, and it's definitely a JRPG. It almost looks like Chrono Trigger, actually." "Ahaha! No one's giving these silly girls any attention." "I have no idea what she's talking about, either." "Whaaaaaaaaat. Why are they dressed like a certain...infamous group...no, I don't even want to know. They're even saluting like...oh, gods, a flag, too? That's...that's not remotely humourous." " 'Don't you see there's nothing to be gained from a romantic relationship between women? If that were the case, then why did God create Adam and Eve?!' ...Er. Since when has Tamaki been a homophobic creationist? ...Well, that's a rare sentence." "There's that monkey again. Wait, that screenshot was copied from earlier, from outside. That's either poking fun at the trend of reusing animation...or it's just reusing animation." "Ow ow ow ow ow." "Don't just grab and embrace someone without their permission! Sheesh." "Don't force her to join the school!" "Well said, Haruhi." "Everyone's just negating everything that Haruhi is saying." "If she says she's not interested, then she's not interested." "What are they now, whirling dervishes?" "It was still her pencil!" "Don't worry, Tamaki, the status quo will prevail." "They look ridiculous." "No one's straight around here. ...Pun intended." "...Why are they wearing dresses? Actually, without the excessive makeup, they could all easily pass for girls. But why didn't Mori get a dress?" "Yes, Honey, you are cute." "Merging the feminine sign and male sign together just makes it look like they're proclaiming that they're bigender or intersex." "Again, without the excessive makeup, they would look really pretty. Not that makeup is bad, it's just too much of it and you start to get into clown territory." "Hey, if they want to wear dresses, they can wear dresses! Who are you girls to decide what someone can or can't wear." " 'We're not going to give up on you!' Um...that's sound suspiciously like a line from a toxic romance novel." "Again with the monkey that's actually outside." "Since when did gamer girl become the narrator?" Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 10. "What're they all reacting to?" "Is this all one of Tamaki's delusions? It's definitely one of Tamaki's delusions." " 'I'm sure the infinite cosmos is on the other side of that closet.' Out of context, that sounds like some sort of weird Zen saying. ...Even in context it still sounds like some sort of weird Zen saying." "Oh, look, there's a giant void of nothingness in the cupboard." "Oh, a nightmare. Well, I was close." "Wow, that stained glass is beautiful." "Breakfast is really important!" "It's nice that Tamaki's all concerned about Haruhi, I guess." "Thankfully I've never done that. I have walked outside in my indoor shoes at least twice, though." "It's Sunday. Oh, Tamaki." "Dare I ask why Tamaki has an antique phone?" "Aren't shops usually closed on Sunday? Or is it different in Japan?" "Ready or not, here come the club members." "Oh, Haruhi's going to be so mad. See. I told you." "She thinks they're the Yakuza. Oh, dear." "Chocolate and strawberry! Ooh!" "It looks like a fine place to me." "Haruhi's going to unleash her Final Smash on them at this rate." "Now I want tea." "This isn't a game. Now we're suddenly in a shonen anime." "None of my cups match, either, so there." "Caaaaaakkkkkkkeeeeeeee!" "Tamaki and the twins are all freaking out while everyone else is having a good time." "Don't you dare sell photos of her without her permission!" "She just throws away his note. Ahaha!" "Everyone's going to the shop. Sheesh." "Aww. Tamaki's giving respects to Haruhi's mum. That's actually kind of sweet." "Random banana peel from nowhere." "That's her dad? That's...really her...dad? Wow! I don't know whether to cheer or to laugh at his expression." "Haruhi'd better explain really quickly." "He just flings Tamaki into the wall. Ayyy." "Nightmare face!" "Well, this has rapidly spiraled out of control." "The twins aren't helping at all, either." "That's okay, I still can't tell them apart." "Kyoya and Haruhi's dad have been in cahoots since the beginning, it seems." "...Growing mushrooms in other people's closets? What the heck is that supposed to mean?" "Ooh, a flashback." "I hope this 'drinking himself silly' bit was just a one time thing and wasn't a regular occurrence." "Tamaki actually has mushrooms. What." "They're all following her." "As you know, I really find it annoying when people use the phrase 'as you know' to refer to something that the characters already know about!" "Tamaki's going to be terrified of Haruhi's dad forever now." "Seems like everyone's taken over Haruhi's shopping for her." "That's an interesting-looking stew." Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 11. "Who's this little girl, and why does she have Sailor Moon hair?" "I bet 8,000,000 yen that she's Tamaki's little sister. Or that she thinks he's her brother." "...How and where did she hear that phrase?" "Or that one?" "Yikes." "Someone owes me a lot of Yen." "Oh, no, Tamaki made her cry!" "Haruhi's the only sensible one, as usual." "Who the heck is this, and how did the door suddenly change?" "Oh, it's that black magic weirdo." "What's with all the butterflies?" "That does explain why she's named after fish." "I agree with Haruhi and Kyoya on this one." "You could close the curtains halfway, and make the room partially dark. Or is that too sensible." "That's not how Romeo and Juliet works." "A whole family of weirdos." "Even their eyes are like cat eyes." "For once the twins have a point." "Well, now she's never going to want to leave." "Lucky me I'm an only child, then, I guess." "You might need to shorten the title, Tamaki." "Oh, no. Here comes gamer girl, laughing maniacally." "Black roses now. Sheesh." "What the heck is he doing?" "Gamer girl is a gorgon! Someone grab a mirror!" "How is beating the living daylights out of him going to help him remember what he's suppose to do?" "It's a flashlight. I will admit that made me laugh." "Nightmare face!" "What the...that mannequin is terrifying! Well, most manniquens are, to me." "Haruhi's about to unleash her Final Smash! ...Maybe?" *looks at my massive shelf full of manga* "Er. No, they're not!" "Is he trying to psyche himself up?" "Nightmare face!" "The art style in this episode certainly seems to be upgraded towards super shojo-ness." "I'm not sure befriending stray cats would count as 'occult'." "Exactly how tall is that window? And how did he manage to avoid cutting himself?" 'Awww." "Saved from the cat that wasn't doing anything." "Yay for happy endings, I guess." Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 12. "So, what's going on now?" "Oh, no! They spilled tea on Honey's rabbit! If it's not cleanable, there's no way they can replace it without him noticing." "I'm pretty sure I already know what Haruhi's reaction to that suggestion is going to be." "Exactly, Tamaki, this is no time for delusions!" "Daaawwww. He's so cute." "Hey. afternoon rests can be very helpful!" "...Is that supposed to be English?" "Honey apparently went Super Sayan." "Aww. It was a gift from his nana. That's so sweet." "So what if his blood type as AB? That's what I just said, Haruhi." "Did she just break the fourth wall? What is my blood type, anyway? I think it might be B, but I'm not entirely sure." "...Tamaki's plan...is to hire a spirit medium to talk to Honey's nana...that's probably his most absurd plan so far." "Exactly, there's still 18 minutes left in this episode." "Nevermind. This is now his most absurd plan." "Oh, dear." "Everyone's understandably terrified." "Mori's suggestion...somehow worked." "He could always have a little bit of each." "Wait, he's seventeen? ...Well, I suppose I'm one to talk, since I could still probably pass for fourteen..." Stop using that word! I said, stop using that word!" "Someone take gamer girl away before she messes everything up." "How can you tell just by looking?" "So much drama." "Gamer girl, no one needs you to narrate." "That's a lot of candy." "Wow, those all look so good." "Tamaki's making ridiculous romantic claims again. Seriously, why do these girls like it?" "Of course Kyoya's enjoying himself." "Who's this random girl?" "Well, that was...very dramatic." "Yeesh. That's a bit...harsh." "Apparently no one's told Honey that there's such things as natural sweet desserts, with maple syrup and, well, honey, instead of processed sugar." "Don't say absurd things like that, Honey." "A kelp snack! Ahaha!" "What about fruit? That's sweet, wouldn't some fruit be enough?" "Ouch. I don't think Tamaki would taste good." "Double ouch! Wow. Honey just threw Mori clear across the room!" "Haruhi's got it figured out." "Hurting himself and blaming himself is only going to make things worse, though." "I agree with Hikaru. Or is it Kaoru?" "Daaw. See, everything's all better now." "Gamer girl's still narrating." "Someone needs to teach the host club how to make their own desserts." "Why does food in anime and video games look so amazingly delicious?" "Oh, there's that girl again. What the heck? What's going on? I'm totally lost now." "I agree with Haruhi. If you say 'moe' enough times, it doesn't sound like a word anymore."

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 13. "Who're these new people?" "Wait, that's Haruhi and her dad. Is this a flashback?" "What's up with that painting? It looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Wait...this is totally going to be an Alice in Wonderland parody episode, isn't it." "Does it matter that it's a pink rabbit instead of white." "Down the rabbit hole. Or...gamer girl hole?" "She landed on the vase. Ahaha. " "What the...? ...........This is Alice in Wonderland, so I should just assume that nothing will make any sense." "More bananas. Ha! Tiny Haruhi." "Kyoya...as the caterpillar. That's...more than a little terrifying. That was never in the original book, by the way." "Super mushrooms, apparently. Or...age-changing mushrooms." "Bananas everywhere." "Huh, they're actually including this part, sort of, which wasn't in the Disney version, and is only in the book." "Um, no, it's not." "I do like that Hikaru, or possibly Kaoru, is the Cheshire Cat. Or they both are." "Yep, just as trippy as the book and Disney movie." "Ah, yes, time for the never-ending tea party. That's all most people seem to remember about the story, actually." "Cake isn't junk food. Properly made cake, at least." "Why is a raven like a writing desk? Well, they both have quills. ...That's all I've got." "Haruhi's so blunt, even in-- wait, they're aware that it's a dream? Huh." "He says it so casually." "Haruhi's off to be a hero, I guess." "She's going to be executed for accepting an invitation. Yep, definitely Alice in Wonderland. Or possibly Kefka." "There's that vase again." "Wonder [ha!] how Haruhi's going to wake up." "Heh. She called him Tamaki." "Haruhi's dad was the king all along. What a twist, but not really, because it's Alice in Wonderland." "Aww. That's surprisingly sweet." "She didn't even get to hug her mum. That's sad." "Oh, well, that explains it. ...Sort of." Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 14. "Oh, the school suddenly has a newspaper. ...A conspiracy theorist newspaper, apparently." "...Well, that explains why no one wants to read about conspiracy theories. The host club is much more interesting." "...Why has gamer girl been making her own fan manga?" "Lovely kimonos they've got." "I'll bet Honey's rabbit that Tamaki says that to every girl." "They all have hair extensions." "Except Kyoya, for some reason." "What was that about things being peaceful, Haruhi? That's what I just said." "Genji? As in, the Tale of Genji? What does that have to do with sports?" "Suddenly we're in a sports anime." "I didn't either, Haruhi." "They're saying that right in front of the newspaper president. Ouch." "Now they're asking for help?" "Kyoya's up to something." "What reputation?" "What a way to guilt trip them." "Everyone else just immediately leaves." "Not really, Tamaki." "Well, that was unnecessarily dramatic." "Haruhi's got Tamaki all figured out." "Silly Haruhi. Cake is much more important than newspapers." "That's strangely kind for Kyoya. He really must be up to something. See, told you." "Since I don't have siblings, sibling rivalry is something that I've never experienced. I'd just be happy to not have to take over a company, and then go off and do my own thing." "The plot thickens." "Er. He's really serious about this." "Now what the heck are they doing? Oh, I see, it's like 'What Time is it, Mister Wolf', that sort of game." "That seems really manipulative. But, then again, the media kind of already is..." "They should all be paying attention to what Kyoya is doing." "Time to interview Haruhi." "Well, so much for subtlety. He's just flat out asking her what he wants to know." "He fell over, then did the splits? Ouch!" 'You could just climb up and walk on the top." "Huh, we found out something interesting about Tamaki. How about that." "Woah, woah, woah, no need to use that word! Sheesh." "Family solidarity, I suppose." "See, told you Kyoya was up to something." "Are you sure about that, Kyoya?" "Great, now I want cake, too." I keep getting distracted by the beautiful roses." "Haruhi's so shocked." Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Kura Watches: Ouran Host Club Spoiler On to episode 15. "So they do sleep in the same bed after all." "How dare Tamaki call the twins when there's sleeping and relaxing to be done!" "Exactly, it's the theme song of the show." "Tamaki is...suddenly racist as well as delusional?" "Tamaki's first reaction is to call every host member in a panic. Sheesh." "He didn't call her cell phone. Ayy." "Ha! Even Kyoya's had enough of Tamaki's delusions to...actually call them delusions." "I don't think I'd be very good at working at a bed and breakfast." "The twins have twin maids, because of course they do." "They could always go and check out the bed and breakfast and...meddle in Haruhi's relaxing work." "Tempting narrative fate, there, Haruhi." " 'He's an old friend of Ranka.' Yeah, that's...kind of obvious, Kyoya." "Ouch. That's a bit blunt. Also, Haruhi is right there!" "Haruhi looks ready to just run out the door and never come back." "Indeed, a very good seamstress. Seamster? Is it a gender-specific term or not?" "What's Tamaki doing in those bushes?" "Hey, don't go nagging Haruhi about cellphones! I don't even have one." "Kyoya, that's just mean and manipulative." "Poor Haruhi." "Tamaki's delusional again. I hope Haruhi makes him get his own breakfast." "They could all just pile into one room and sleep on the floor." "Kyoya's just calmly drinking tea and scheming about something while everyone else is...in varying states of ridiculousness." "Hey, this could be good for them. I doubt any of them have ever done any chores in their lives." "Ouch. Hammer to the finger. Ouch." "Ha! Honey's cute charm doesn't work!" "Putting the twins in charge of greeting the guests is actually a good idea." "Mori just casually picks up the table like it's nothing." "...That's quite a plan." "Yes, he is rather like gamer girl." "See, told you Kyoya's scheming." "Shouldn't Mori be wearing safety googles if he's cutting wood? Why is he cutting wood, anyway?" "See, Haruhi's okay with it." "Haruhi's caught on to Kyoya's scheming." "Yikes. That's...kind of terrible. Granted, no one's ever taught Tamaki how to repair anything.." "How convenient that there happens to be a piano there." "That was close." "Where'd all the rose petals come from?" "What's he doing on the roof again?" "That's not how the dark night of the soul works, Tamaki." "Almost like they planned that. That's what I just said, Haruhi." "Looks like that bed was too small for both of them." "Get your own breakfasts." "Um, they are aristocracy. That's what I just said, Hikaru. Or is it Kaoru?" "Where'd he get all that food? Wait, he actually cooked? Tamaki actually cooked something! Hooray!" "6:00 am?! That's absurd! That's a totally absurd time to be up. 9:00 is much more reasonable." "Nightmare face!" "Who's this kid?" "Yellow rose petals everywhere." "I'm as surprised as they are." "Wait, this is a two-parter episode, isn't it? I'd had enough of cliffhangers with She-Ra!"

"Nice save, Haruhi." "But sound effects are important." "Short hair is easier to manage. Well, except when it's thick like mine..." "Why is Tamaki...nevermind." "They can probably hear him. ...They can hear him." "Everyone's shocked except Kyoya, as usual." "What an awkward accidental rejection." "She was completely oblivious." "She didn't know, don't go blaming her!" "Tamaki's embarrassing everyone again." "Kyoto seems to be the happening place." "Oh, you're in for it now, Hikaru." "Wow. She actually slapped him." "Time for a twin heart-to-heart." "Aww. Hika-chan is such a cute nickname. Honey seems to have nicknames for everyone." "Wait, what? Oh, a twin switch. Clever." "But if he says that, then Hikaru will go on the date instead." "See, told you." "Faking a cold? Really. Kaoru." "It's not weird. That's a nice outfit." "Of course they're following them." "Nightmare face!" "Hopefully none of the passersby mind Tamaki flailing aroun in the middle of the street." "Doesn't that go for everyone, and all types of relationships, not just friendships?" "They could go to a cafe or something, or a bookshop." "A very bad idea." "Ice cream is good, too." "Pickled yams? Eww." "Haruhi the perceptive, apparently." "Time for a thunderstorm." "Oh, dear. What a way to ruin the date." "Hikaru's going to be stubborn and refuse. See, told you." "Really, Hikaru? Now is not the time for jealousy." "He still has the main theme as his ringtone." "Tamaki says it like it is. Albeit, very bluntly." "Maybe if he was paying attention he might've noticed." "It might just be me, but Hikaru's outfit, combined with the headphones, makes him look a lot like Neku from The World Ends With You." "Awwwwwww. That's so adorable." "This is a really sweet moment. I like it." "Too soon? We're more than halfway through the series." Link to post Share on other sites

Because they've got sunglasses on? ...Nevermind." "That either looks like some fancy transformation thingamajig from a shonen anime, or a really overly designed badge." "Oh, no, another one of Tamaki's brilliant ideas." "Kyoya's got problems, it seems." "Tamaki's got that completely backwards, as usual." "Just go away and let him sleep!" "That exactly how I look when I have to get up at unreasonable times." "Wasn't it the first day of summer just two episodes ago?" "He was up all night?! Yikes." Double yikes! Nightmare face!" "Honey's not a morning person either." "...Did they really forcibly make Kyoya get dressed and drag him there? Apparently they did." "They just up and leave him. Sheesh." "No wallet or cellphone. Oh, dear." "Accidentally scaring a little kid, too." "See, Haruhi was there all along." "Discount McDonalds, huh." "Delicious desserts, yeah, no." "Kyoya's dissecting the fast food industry." "What special treatment?" "He's a Hedonist?" "Did the three girls just spontaneously vanish?" " 'I'm the product of excellent breeding.' Excuse my language, but...what the Hel?" "Eavesdropping on the rich people." "He's making it sound like they're some sort of financial investment, not people." "Oh, that looks like trouble." "Kyoya's using his bluntness to...completely upend a swindling shopkeeper." "Wait, what. Since when did Kyoya turn into Sherlock?" "Time for Kyoya to...dissect the junk food industry." "That ice cream looks delicious." "Oh, no, gamer girl's here! Somehow!" "What in the world is she doing?" "That oni costume is admittedly creepy." "What is this, Power Rangers?" "Seriously, Tamaki? What a way to make a scene." "They brought the dog?" "That's what I just said, Kyoya." "Haruhi's got Kyoya all figured out." Link to post Share on other sites

"How was there anything filming any of this?" "You and me both, Haruhi." "Younger brother???" "Well, that's just terrible." "All the more cake for Honey, then." "Ouch. That's really harsh." "There's nothing wrong with cake or stuffed animals!" "Well, that lasted all of three seconds." "Time for a flashback." "Some people are just naturally short, so there." "They're totally talking about him while he's right there behind him." "That's a lot of stuffies." "How can you carrying something 'like a man', anyway?" "That's a lot of meat." "What does moe mean, exactly? I know it's a general word that seems to have something to do with cuteness, but..." "More flashbacks." "Haruhi's not putting up with their shenanigans." "So all of this is technically Tamaki's fault." "Totally not fooling anyone." "Tamaki's actually got a point there." "Of course Mori was there all along." "Nightmare face." "You call that true strength? He left all of his vulnerable points open, and leaping into the air and spinning around like he's some kind of top? How did he get to be so revered?" "Chika's got a fan club, too. ...Which he wants nothing to do with." "A simple inferiority complex? Isn't that kind of an oxymoron?" "They're bored already." "Apparently Chika can teleport." "Three entire cakes? Three entire cakes??? ...Does this mean that Honey has one of those ridiculously high metabolisms...but only for sweets?" "Nightmare face!" "...So Chika came to the conclusion that Honey's an alien. ...Right..." "See, i said this was technically Tamaki's fault." "Mori's got it figured out." "That's really missing the point." "So...it's 'manly' to...fight each other?" "Ouran has a grassy field as long as it's required by the episode." "Another good question, Haruhi." "It is?" "Looks like Mori was completely wrong."

"They were expecting Haruhi and got her dad instead." "Did he just roll them all into a ball somehow?" "Did he just uppercut Tamaki in the chin?" "What girls? Since when has Haruhi had other friends-- Oh, the Lobelians. But why is Haruhi hanging out with them?" "Imitating Whirling Dervishes is all well and good, but on the roof? That's just dangerous." "Benibara and Tamaki have something in common, it seems." "All the girls spontaneously turn into octopuses. Octopi. Whatever." "What's with all the lilies?" "Careful, Tamaki. You might turn into an octopus." "Haruhi's dad can...spontaneously teleport?" "Somehow the fact that Haruhi was basically kidnapped somehow...failed to register with her dad." "I'm now imagining them doing things like Wicked or Mama Mia." "They're still not moving." "Leave while you still can, Haruhi!" "Where'd the spotlight come from?" "They're totally lying." " 'Dashed against the craggy shores of fate.' Dramatic to the core." "Time for more crossdressing?" " 'Don't interrupt my flashback!' Ahahaha!" "Nice that Haruhi's dad helps out with the housework." "Tamaki's especially delusional today. Also, that's kind of insulting to people who actually have small chests." "She's saying the same line in the same blank monotone." "You know, that's exactly what I often think about Shakespeare's plays. Characters so frequently take a looooooong time to die." "She's lipsyncing. That's what I just said." "Great save, Haruhi's dad." "Yikes. These girls are a bit...obsessive." "I'm not even sure what genre we're suddenly in." "They lost Kyoya again." "She looks like a clown." "Seeing Haruhi's dad hanging out with the Host Club makes him look a lot younger than he is." "Haruhi still can't act." "Wait, what?" "Tamaki to the rescue--random monkey out of nowhere." "Kyoya to the rescue?" "More monkeys from nowhere." "He's lucky she didn't break something." "Tamaki just keeps getting flattened in this episode." "Monkeys throwing octopuses? Octopi? Whatever. This show runs on its own twisted logic. I shouldn't expect anything to do with sensible things." Link to post Share on other sites

"Nothing of note happened in those eight years?" "Wow, that's awkward." "That's just being manipulative." "That's really being manipulative!" "Agreed. That's jerkish." "Wow, ripping it apart right in front of her." "Tamaki to the rescue?" "Maybe because they are always looking down on everyone?" "A flashback in a flashback." "I have to admit, they are adorable." "Ouch. That's harsh." "She just pulled a knife on two kids." "The paper's probably blank." "See, told you." "Even though she pulled a knife on them?" "That's just messed up." "Flat rejection." "Tamaki completely misses the point." "...and he's delusional again. Delusional to the point of...thinking he's a savior?" "Here we go again with the guess the twin game." "Challenge accepted, apparently." "So that's how they ended up joining the Host Club." "He's so optimistic." "Is he reading a Carl Jung book just to look smart, or is actually interested in it? Also, I can't help it, I just have to say it-- PERSONA!" "Turning on the charm even in a flashback." "They just get up and leave. Ahaha!" "What's Kyoya reading?" "Kyoya's got them figured out. It's probably both at once." "Wait, what? Tamaki's not making any sense. That's what i just said." "Nightmare face. I really don't like clowns." "I guess in Japan, that kind of thing is considered to be a terrible thing, since reputation is seen as something super important." "Here we go again. How many girls have they driven to emotional anguish by this point?" "He's still trying." 'He got it right...just by intuition?" "Aren't they contradictory already? That's what I just said, Tamaki." "Back to this flashback again." "Yeah, Haruhi." "That's not quite exactly what he said, Honey." "No one except Haruhi." Link to post Share on other sites

Or possibly Cinderella inspired. Or possibly both." "Who's this guy we've never seen before?" "How...weirdly generous for such a rich people school." "Gamer girl? Where'd you come from? And what is she wearing?" "She really just appeared out of nowhere. In the middle of the classroom, too." "If only she had a mute button." "She's not paying any attention to him." "The twins seem to think this is a good idea." "Creepy faces." "For a moment I thought he'd go into shock." "Tamaki would make a good vampire." "Blagh! That's just disgusting. ..But all the girls love it. Is it...supposed to be a Twilight parody?" "Suddenly they're all chibis." "He's certainly got the dramatic part right." "How did he get in there? That's what I just said, Tamaki." " 'Pure unadultured terror. Sounds like someone's been playing too many horror video games." "He could always...skip school on Halloween. Or hide in the library/" "Good to know that Haruhi is in no way telepathic." "Nightmare faces. Where did they come from?" "There's teasing someone gently, and then there's invoking fears to deliberately torment someone." "They just made that up." "Whomever wrote that book obviously never had anxiety." "Suspiciously specific denial 101." "A wholesome type? I don't get it." "That skull looks way too real." "Shouldn't it have broken? I guess it is made of plastic." "Nightmare face! It actually looks like...what's her name, that vengeful one from that super scary movie that I'd never in a billion years?" "That's definitely Tamaki under that mask." "You mean Frankenstein's monster, Mori." "A tiny blonde wolfman wearing a giant Jack-o-Lantern?" "He's still sneaking around. Oh, Kyoya's there, too." "Haruhi just casually carries a sewing kit around with her all of a sudden?" "Then just tell her how you feel already. Sheesh." "That's an oddly specific metaphor." "They only noticed that now."

"Ah, a samurai motif this time." "Ugh, gamer girl. No one wants you to narrate." "Who's doing what to where now? And what does rice have to do with any of it?" "This would probably have more impact if...I had more than passing knowledge of samurai history." "Wow, Mori's certainly impressive with that...spear? It looks like a spear." "Random forth wall-breaking." "Well, that was unexpected." "He's from Kanto? Where's his Pokemon? Oh, wrong Kanto." "Oh, so he's like that...what's his name from that manga by Norihiro Yagi-san. His earliest manga, the one that isn't Claymore." "Haruhi's expression! Perfect." "Mori's not expressionless. He's just the Spock of the group." "You might end up regretting that, Tamaki." "......................What......................" "The world according to Tamaki. Delusions free of charge." "Oh, dear, Tamaki made Honey cry. Sort of." "His fashion sense just got worse. About a hundred times worse." "Well, that seems like trouble. Nice of them to loudly discuss their plans right outside." "They're trying to take him out...with...flowerpots?" "Suddenly we're in a shonen anime." "Haruhi's come to warn him to run away while he still can." " 'Nakama' doesn't exactly mean 'buddies'. The subtitles are lying." "He's blushing! That's oddly adorable." "A lucky cat? Oh, cat ears." "Don't make him cross-dress if...too late." "Yikes." "We don't need a flashback of something we saw just minutes ago." "Awww. A little bird." "Those statues are still as distracting as they were in the first episode." "Tamaki's freaking out." "Good question." "Didn't anyone tell Mori not to judge by appearances?" "Well, isn't that convenient." "What a very romantic-ish meeting." "Is he blushing? He's totally blushing." "Oh, I can see where this is going. He's going to find out Haruhi's 'secret'." "It took them several seconds to react to that annoucement." "See. told you." "Angel Densetsu! That's the manga I couldn't remember the name of." Link to post Share on other sites

"Kyoya's gone into calculating scary mode, all while smiling calmly." "Well, that got Tamaki's attention." "That's a lot of food." "That is a really awesome dragon design on the door." "He's resorted to ripping apart helpless flowers." "They've all got the wrong idea." "He's also got the wrong idea." "...What is he doing?" "Gamer girl, get out of here." "He used Blizzard?" "Now I want tea." "The twins are eavesdropping again." "Nightmare faces." "Or girl." "How will flinging him wildly into the air help?" "Tamaki's turned into a robot." "Well, that's as awkward as heck." "Tamaki must be back to normal. He's delusional again." "Did he just crush his cellphone?" "Nightmare face." "Tamaki went Super Sayan." "I thought for sure he was going to punch him." "No, it's more of a metaphorical thing. Probably. Hopefully." "Tamaki's...turn into a...ghost? A very flat ghost." "This isn't Howl's Moving Castle." "He actually fainted. I'm surprised one of the twins didn't decide to pour tea on his face." "Not usually, Tamaki." "Just admit that you're in love with her, and tell her, and then everything will be fine." "Random pumpkin from the previous episode." "Ouch. Even Kyoya's insulting Tamaki outright." "How could he hear her from that far away?" "Is he asking her out on a date? Awww." "But Tamaki's going to interrupt him before he can." "Tamaki's not the only oblivious one."

"Time for a flashback." "Well, that answers that." "Black rose petals?" "Kyoya seems to be really popular...but is it from genuine appreciation or...trying to look good?" "Even back then, Kyoya was all about planning." "So, who's this? Oh, his sister." "Let him organize his own clothes. Sheesh." "Isn't that alright, though? Doesn't that let him do what he really wants to do?" "Oh. Nevermind, then." "Don't try. It's not worth it, trying to please unpleasable people." "Interesting metaphor." " 'Will you ever be happy?' Well, there's the big question." " 'The Time of World'? What kind of a newspaper name is that?" "What enemies?" "Wow. What a manipulative jerk." "Oh, how wrong you are, Kyoya." "Not really." "Turning on the charm just like that. Oh, Tamaki." "Definitely not a cultural difference." "Ouch. Judging him just on the barest minimum." "...Where in the world did he get those ideas from?" "No sense of personal space even back then." "Now he's got a raging Kyoto obsession to go with the kotatsu obsession." "No, that's a Shisha. That's what i just said, Kyoya." "Eventually Kyoya would get used to Tamaki dragging him all over the place." "Kyoya's slowly losing what little patience he had to begin with." "From cold calculations to hot anger." "How convenient that they happened to have a piano." "Everything in his house is so pale and grey." "Small? How small?" "Tamaki figured him out just by looking at him. Impressive." " 'It's just the way things are.' Oh, dear." "That's quite a glare." "Kyoya tried to be the perfect son, but just ended up trapping himself." "Ouch." "That's absolutely beautiful."

"Ouch." "Who's this imposing, blue-eyed lady?" "Yikes. Tamaki can't even call him father. That's just..." "How did Tamaki not break his neck." "Good for Haruhi, managing to stay polite." "Tamaki, what are you doing?" ".....................What. Is he...trying to charm her?" "Kyoya just got hit by his own father. Mood whiplash much?" " 'That seemed rather harsh.' You don't say!" "Honey completely misses the point." " 'Life is hard.' But it doesn't have to be. Most people seem to think it does." "Enter Tamaki's grandmother--woah, that's strong from Honey." "What a...incredibly jerksih lady." "Why does she have opera glasses? Is it so she can look super snobbish?" "Also...'Lady Eclair'? Really? I know it means 'light' or 'shining' or Is tha'clear', not just being the name of a pastry, but, still." "Gamer girl, of course she'd show up." "'Clearly the work of novices.' Oh. Now I get it. She's one of those ultra unpleasable people. Poor Tamaki." "She's going to try to ruin Haruhi. I just know it." "That's going a bit far." "Tamaki suddenly has doubts." "No one belongs to anyone." "I'm trying to picture Haruhi has a little furry shrew, and it's not working." "What the Hel is she doing? ...That's what I just said." "Well, his grandmother needs to learn that she's not the centre of everything, then." "...So? I mean...I guess that is kind of a big scandalous thing, as I said before, over in Japan." "That's just...utterly cruel." "Of course his mother died--wait, she didn't die?" O.O "That's...amazing." "More stories need to show the importance of choosing one's own family."

Will she ever stop?" "What a manipulative little unpleasant person. I'll start calling her 'Pastry Girl'." "Well, that's one way to get them to leave. Just grab them and drag them away." "Of course she's not going to quit." "Standing up for Kyoya. Good job, Haruhi." "She wears her opera glasses in the shower?" "Why would he be interested, after all he's been through." "Of course she's not serious. She's going to take that chance of seeing his mother away from him, I just know it." "What kind of fish is that?" "She's completely dedicated to controlling every bit of Tamaki's life. I don't understand people like her at all." "She could've killed the fish! Sheesh. Also, that's probably a horrendously expensive cellphone, and it was Tamaki's cellphone, and she shouldn't have done that!" "Neither do I." "I don't think Kyoya has any interest in his father's company, but his father can't seem to understand that." "That's one super fancy dress." "What's the point of such a huge staircase?" "Good point. A very good point." "Time to race to the airport, I guess." "Oh, that's not good. Time for Honey to do his martial arts thing." "Hey, I was right." "How exactly is a horse-drawn carriage supposed to out-speed a car?" "How did he not break his neck and spine?" "Hope you know how to ride a horse, Haruhi." "A rare moment of wisdom from Haruhi's dad." "...Hope she knows how to drive a horse-drawn carriage, then." "No way did they manage to catch up--oh, nevermind." "Jump after her already! There you go." "Lucky thing that water runs on animated physics." "Everyone's back together again." "Everybody dance!" "How convenient." "Tamaki, just let them dance--oh, Kyoya's given up." "Well, after everything Kyoya's father did to him, is it any wonder?" "Now ask her for a kiss." "Bother his intentions." "Come on, ask her for a kiss! ...Seriously? No kiss? Well, darn."

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 So, you might be wondering what I'm going to be watching next. I narrowed it down to two options: Revolutionary Girl Utena or Haibane Renmei. Eventually I decided that I wanted to save the latter for when it's the middle of winter and I need cheering up, so Revolutionary Girl Utena it is! I know next to nothing about it aside from the fact that it's a shojo anime with surrealist elements, there's lots of girl's love subtext that might not even be subtext, no one likes the movie, and Rebecca Sugar, the creator of Steven Universe, liked it. I'd say that's more than enough of a reason for me to watch it. However, I'm not going to start right away, as a lot is going on right now, and I'm still trying to figure out how my 'new' video camera works so I can start my Pokemon Platinum Let's Play. So, Utena will have a wait a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Kura Watches: Revolutionary Girl Utena Spoiler On to episode 1. "...Yin-Yang silhouettes of the two main characters over a rose. I can see why Rebecca Sugar likes this anime." "Wow, the opening theme isn't even trying to be subtle. Sheesh." "Of course all the characters have vibrant hair. It's mandatory." "Well, yes, that would usually make someone sad." "By kissing them, apparently." "But he never comes back, does he." " 'The princess vowed to become a prince one day.' Wait, what?" "Who designed these school uniforms? These skirts are even shorter than the ones in Sailor Moon. Completely impractical." "Looks like something out of a Pokemon game. Like the Pokemon League." "She looks fine to me. Who cares if she's wearing a boy's uniform?!" "Ahahahahaha! She just opens the rule book and--! Ahahaha!" "Seems like this anime likes rose petals just as much as Ouran. Wonder if Ouran was inspired?" "Well, that's one way to tell him off." "Stop bothering her already. She's explaining herself more than adequately." "There's the princess." "Maybe because the ring has an actual rose on it?" "Don't make assumptions--holy heck!" "What just happened?" "Who's the green haired person and red haired person? Oh, they're guys. It was honestly hard to tell." "Hey, weirdness is great!" "Ah, the ever present student council. Even in Persona games, it's unescapable." "What kind of a club--" "Wait, they're engaged and he just hit her hard enough to leave a bruise?!" "What a...dastard." "Stand up for yourself, Anthy!" "Just you wait, Utena's going to come after you at some point." "See, I said he never came back, and I was right." "...The Onion Kingdom? What, is she from Final Fantasy III?" "What's that? That's what I just said, Utena." " 'A real man wouldn't read it!' Er... I get what she's trying to say, but..." "Aww. Poor girl." "He certainly is." "Ayyy, Utena's so feisty." "Heck yeah, challenge him!" "Uh, oh." "The Forbidden Forest!" "Who the heck are they?" "Use the ring." "Oh, come on. That's so...convenient." "That is one beautiful statue." "Reminds me of the endless staircase from Kingdom Hearts." "This is a very strangely religious referential song. Catchy tune, though." "What the heck? How is the castle floating upside down? That's what I just said, Utena." "That's not how mirages work." "That's a...really arbitrary rule." "That dastard! That absolute dastard!" "If you had some paint handy, you could throw it all over him." "Power of Dios?" "What the............................???????????????????" "You could say 'you're pretty good--for a man.' " "She's the protagonist. You can tell because she has pink hair." "Feint and slip down to knock his legs out from under him." "Or you could charge forwards recklessly with no plan at all." "Ah, the old 'two combatants collide, slide past each other, and then one of them falls over' trick." "...What?" " 'What was that all about?' Good question." "............................What...........?" "No way! No one belongs to anyone!" "I must say, I really like both the opening and ending themes."

KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Kura Watches: Revolutionary Girl Utena Spoiler On to episode 2. "Hmm, looks like Utena has a pack of fan-girls just as much as Haruhi did." "So...wait. If Utena is supposed to be wearing the boy's uniform...why are all the boys dressed in green discount Star Trek uniforms?" "Magnolia Waltz?" "Well, that escalated quickly." "Is...is Wakaba bi?" O.O "Well, that's about the most awkward position to be caught in by the love interest." "What do eggs have to do with anything?" "What card game is that supposed to be? And how are they playing while still holding a plot relevant conversation?" "Right. Best friends. Just like a certain Sailor Moon couple were cousins." "Looks like a freaking mansion to me." "Oh, is that a merkabah lamp hanging from those chains?" "At least the mice are happy." "What the--" "What the heck just happened? How did Anthy spontaneously repair and clean the whole room in just a few seconds? Or was it a lot longer, and just seemed like a few seconds? And how did she get in if there's only one door? What is going on? ...I get the feeling that I'll be saying that a lot with this show." "Magic, maybe? ...Why isn't Utena surprised by the spontaneous cleaning?" "Utena, that's not how to put things away. Also, how much stuff did she bring with her." "Oh, now she asks. Anthy doesn't know either. Ayyy." " 'Because I like to.' Great answer." "Er. Is that supposed to be a mouse? It looks like a monkey with mouse ears and tail." "Quick, do the Heimlich maneuver." "So now Utena will have to literally fight off random people who want to marry Anthy." "Ooh, fancy katanas. Though, I guess the smaller one is a wakizashi?" " 'She belongs to me.' There's a word for people like him. Quite a few, actually." "Keep this up and he'll sound like a Pikachu." "He just won't leave her alone. How dare he touch her. How dare he!" "She is asking him for forgiveness?!?!?!?!" "Thank you, Utena." "No! Don't step on the comic relief!" "Win with the power of love, Utena!" "The shadow girls again. They certainly seem to know everything that's going on. But what's casting them? Anything?" "Same footage from before, and the same song. But the song is so catchy, I don't mind much. Plus I guess I got used to repeating footage from watching Digimon Adventure so much." "A transformation sequence? Sort of? I was expecting something flashier." "Wait, why does she want to lose? Won't that mean that she'll have to give up Anthy? Did I miss something?" "You're forgetting one of the big rules of villains--when you have the hero at your mercy, don't stop to monologue." "Don't stop to dramatically point at them, either." "The power of love! Wait, what was that shadowy thing?" "That cake looks delicious--oh, the mouse ruined it." " 'I didn't do it for you.' How very tsundere of you, Utena." Link to post Share on other sites

When was the last time I was excited about watching a show? ...Since Steven Universe. Huh." "This again? But we saw this in episode one. I mean, sure, it seems to really important series' lore, but... One question I do want answered is...who's narrating this?" "I can't take anything seriously when Chu-Chu is around. His face just looks...off to me. I don't like it." "Does Anthy always get up early?" "Even the cups are shaped like flowers." "Chu-Chu doesn't count. He's the comic relief. ...Annoying comic relief." "Here come the fan girls." "Her expression!" "Maybe Anthy wants to be engaged to Utena. Ever think about that? Ever think about what Anthy wants?" "Oh, it's red haired boy. What's his name again?" 'Touching someone's hair without their permission. Not a good idea." "Wow, what a creep. He's the pushy type, too, which makes it worse." "Well, that just brings up a lot more questions." "The prince in the flashback clearly has purple hair, so..." "This conversation again? It sounds like a quotation from something, but I have no idea what." "What's this 'End of the World' thing they're going on about?" "Wakaba, you could have killed her! Also, no one seems to have reacted to two girls nearly falling out a window." "Rumours are rumours." "Oh, my gods. They are really going after her." "Utena to the rescue--wait, no, who's this girl?" " 'Are you alright?' The girl just got slapped for the fourth time in a row. I'm pretty sure she's not alright at all." "That sounds really manipulative. Don't trust her, Anthy." "Are they playing something like High Card Wins?" "Wow, that's a really nice dress." " 'I don't care for places with lots of people.' Neither do I." "Chu-Chu doesn't count." " 'If you say so, Miss Utena.' No, don't say that. Say what you really want." "Don't just force her to go somewhere she doesn't want with people she doesn't want to talk to." "These two again. Wait, a puppy? Two puppies?" "??????? I've got no idea what they're on about." "Oh, so she's his younger sister. Hmm. Definitely suspicious." "Utena looks so uncomfortable in that dress. Especially since it was sent by a creep who wants her to act how he wants." "Did Nanami invite--yes, she did. Just to annoy red-haired boy? Interesting." "Aww. Utena's blushing." "Hey, hey, hey, don't just drag Anthy around." "Dance with Anthy! Dance with Anthy!" "No, no, get away from her." "Poor Anthy. Nanami just abandons her to the mean girls." "She didn't do that on purpose! They're actually blaming her for green-haired boy's own flaws." "That's just...that's just so cruel." "Thank you, Utena, for rejecting him outright. Now go help Anthy. Jump from the balcony if you have to." "She was wearing that under her dress?" "An improvised tablecloth dress toga thing. Sure, why not." "Chu-Chu, go away. You're ruining the emotional moment." "So much love! Eeeee!" "Nanami's just letting her jealousy go far too far." "A beautiful dance for a beautiful couple." Link to post Share on other sites

"I'm sure Nanami didn't come to have a conversation about pianos." "Who's she? That's what I just said, Nanami." "Don't trust her, she's manipulative as heck." "The sunlit garden. How about that, it's the title of the episode, too." "Utena's so uninterested in Wakaba's grade woes...because she's busy thinking about Anthy?" " 'My mother says that a real woman can force her logic onto any man.' ............................What. Wakaba, you need a new mother." "...because she's busy thinking about Anthy." "Oh for--fifth time! Why is this a thing?" "A misunderstanding, huh. I bet five hundred Cookie Cats that Micky is in love with Anthy." "Wait...Micky's a boy? I totally thought he was a girl. Oops." "Oh, honey-haired ringlet girl. So is Juri her first name or last name? Either way, that'll just make me think of Juri from Digimon Tamers..." "Chu-Chu, erasers aren't for eating." "Everyone in the student council has a rose ring. Interesting." "Then how do they end up dueling?" "The blush is a bit of a clue." "Ah, dramatic irony." "Utena's expression! She's so embarrassed." "That's an intriguing way to do a flashback." "Wait, where'd he get that picture?" "Nanami's just out to ruin everyone's day." "Gossiping shadow girls making no sense, as usual. Wrestling? Ramen? What?????????????????????" "Yes. Yes, we do mind. We mind, very much." "Don't let her in! She must be like a vampire! ...You let her in." "Why is it Anthy's job to make tea? Get Utena to make tea instead." "Oh, a snail. Nothing the matter with snails." "That's just so...petty." "How did they not hear her?" "What the." "They're just snails." "Hey, snails can be cute!" "Catherine, Juliet, and Marcelina. That's got to be a reference to something, I just don't know what." "Oh, a snake. What's next, a frog?" "How are they not hearing her???" "What the flip kind of math is that supposed to be." "A...mongoose. Why is there a mongoose...nevermind." "What's with the stopwatch?" "How many critters did she bring with her." "An octopus. Really. How is it not suffocating?" "How are they not hearing her?!" "Since I've been watching Ouran, that laugh just makes me think of gamer girl." "Okay, that's just...ridiculous. What is this show? Wait, it's...a giant toy? I thought it was real for a second." " '3 + Y is...' A headache." "Aww. Anthy's laughing." "I think the octopus broke her. I think she's a bit...distressed." "Strawberry, yum. Lemon. No no no no no no no." "Poor Anthy. Hey, shaved ice for dinner is...different and possibly good. I've never actually had it before."

I'm sure they are, it's just really hard to animate actual fencing." "Mickey's all about perfection." "A meek strength? How does that work?" " 'Your sword is not for battle.' Then...it's for decoration?" "Awwwwww. Anthy's too precious when she smiles." "For a second I thought that was a teapot, and then realized it's a needlessly fancy watering can." "Here comes Chu-Chu to break the dramatic moment." "Nightmare fuel." "Ah, a twin sister. Presumably one with blue hair." "So, Mickey is super nostalgic about this, and wants to recreate it somehow, and is projecting his feelings of regret about his sister onto Anthy?" "Oh, the old 'survivor's guilt' thing." "I think Anthy's getting hypnotized by that metronome." "There's that blush again. Also, Utena, you said that when Anthy's right in the room." "Even if Utena asked Anthy 'what do you really want', I'm sure Anthy would reply 'to make you happy, Utena-sama', because that's how she is." " 'I can't forgive a system that deprives someone of their personal freedom!' Well said." "I'm...getting a bit tired of this quotation. Is this going to be in every episode?" "A random apple on a plate?" "Mickey's taking a stand. I don't think it'll have any effect, though." "Who cares what they seek. What about Anthy's feelings." 'Now the apple is cut into six perfect pieces? What?" "Random blue-haired girl--wait, that's Micky's sister? Is she really there, or....?" "Why is Touga...wearing his shirt open for no reason?" "Oh, so she is really there. But how is it he never bumped into her beforehand?" "That someone being Utena, presumably." " 'Only the one she is engaged to can make the Bride do what they want.' That's an oddly structured sentence. I had to re-read it multiple times to figure out what it meant." "Still projecting his feelings onto Anthy." " 'If Miss Utena says I can.' Oh, Anthy, Anthy, Anthy." " 'I must do whatever the person I'm engaged to wants.' Aaaaaaggggh." "What in the world is this flashback? What is Touga doing? I don't get it." "Here come the fan girls." "Linear what now?" "Oh, so that's how they end up dueling." "Pirates? What?" " 'With all this treasure, why don't you have the thing you really want?' ...What is that supposed to mean?" "They're shadows. They don't have water to sink into...do they?" "Up she goes on the endless staircase." "So, if Dios is similar in etymology to Deus...that means Anthy's power comes from a god of some kind?" "Oh, so...it's the same footage but the second half of the song for the actual duel is slightly different every time?" "What the heck is a spiral mirabilis?" "Another head-long, reckless attack from Utena. Is her name secretly Korra?" "You can't force someone to be your 'shining thing', Mickey." "Mickey's sister. Oh, so that's why she stopped. That's why she ran off stage. But is she ever going to tell Mickey that?" "So, wait, is it 'Mickey' or 'Miki'? Or both?" Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Kura Watches: Revolutionary Girl Utena Spoiler On to episode 6. "What's Nanami up to? Nothing good, I suspect." "What's she so afraid of?" "What the heck is that?!" "I very much doubt they'll believe her, because that's usually how these things work." "See, told you." "...Important student council work. Sure, and I'm a gyroid." "A baseball to the face. How is she uninjured?" "Oh, hey, Utena." "Ew. Touga, you stay far away from Utena." "How dare he! That's Anthy's special place!" "They're talking about flowers or bugs or something mundane, aren't they." " 'A life is a life.' Yes, Anthy, yes." "Of course Nanami completely takes it the wrong way." "That imagining is just so ick on so many levels." "Of course she rungs away before anyone can be sensible." "Don't wish that!" "What a...plot mandated coincidence." "Chickens, too. Sure, why not." "How and why are you so sure he was a prince?" "Why are they spying on her?" "Er. What." "Camping?! What does camping have to do with any of this?! How can they eat? They're shadows! ...I'm just going to be like this for the whole show, aren't I." " 'Aren't they brother and sister?' Never stopped the ancient Egyptians." "Parsley? What?" "What was he doing in her locker?" "She's just making him be her servant. That's...yikes." "Bwah! What the heck. I thought he was sulking in his room, and I was really hoping he'd stay there for the rest of the series." "He's delusional as well as entitled and abusive." "Random triplets from nowhere." "This episode is even weirder than the show usually is, which is certainly saying something." "Of course he beat them all--did...did the one who was tossed in the pond...drown?" O.O "Utena finally tries to make her see sense, but this is Nanami, after all." "Fate. Yeah, no." "Spontaneous random bull from nowhere." "He's been putting her in danger just so he can 'rescue' her?" "Um. No. He's got it all upside down." "How did she get this...recording equipment out of thin air?" "...What." ".............What." "..............................What." "I give up." "What were the developers...doing when they made this episode." "I'm passing this off as Nanami hallucinating, presumably after she gets too close to the insect poison and inhales the fumes or something. That's the only explanation that makes any kind of sense." " 'Touga's quite a guy.' ...That's one word for it. I know of several more that would work, too." Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 Kura Watches: Revolutionary Girl Utena Spoiler On to episode 7. "What's going on now? Who wants Juri to give up? What do miracles have to do with anything?" "We still don't know what the student council even does all day." "Is Chu-Chu a monkey? He still looks like a mouse to me." "They're actually having a conversation while miss silly strict lady is chasing Chu-Chu around in the background. Impressive." "Juri's...planning something?" "I don't think that counts as a miracle." "Utena brings up one of the biggest questions so far--why does everyone want Anthy?" "Awww! Utena waved, and Anthy waved back!" "Revolutionary power, you might say. That's what I just said, Juri." "You have potentially world-altering power, and all you can think of is school work?" "What a convenient interruption." "Anthy offering a rose--what the heck!" "Did...I completely miss Juri's true nature?" "This same conversation." "...Miki is remarkably calm while Touga is throwing knives right at his head." "She wants to disprove the power of miracles? What?" "Miki, do you have any spacial awareness?" "In love?" "Oh, look, another pretty person." "Make that two pretty people." "Wait, a golden rose? Is that why she reacted so strongly?" "That's just cruel. That's the problem with love triangles--unless those involve suddenly become polyamorous, someone always ends up sad and alone." "A girly outfit? What makes something girly anyway?" "Utena wants to be like someone who thinks that nobility is important." "Yikes!" "Juri's being really harsh. She seems to act so calmly, and then the next moment she's lashing out." "Time for another duel?" "Rabbits? What?" "How can you catch a cold when you're a shadow! What do zoos have to do with anything--" "Oh, they're making shadow puppets. ...Shadow girls making shadow puppets. What even is this show." "That rose statue is so amazingly detailed, it looks like it could be an actual statue." "I wonder if anyone's brought a super tall ladder and a big stick to see if that castle is solid or not. That's what I'd do, anyway." "Juri's too good. How is Utena going to win?" "Lucifer? What's he got to do with any of this?" "Why is Androgynous capitalized? It's not a name...?" "As usual, I'm giving more attention to the dueling song than the actual duel." "Don't bend your sword like that. It's not good for the blade." " 'The certainty of death, namely light'? This song is even more surreal than the others." "That was a great camera movement." "What the? Is Utena turning into her prince?" "She could've hit the rose right then and there instead of announcing it." "Huh? What just happened?" "Oh, Utena's sword somehow...hit the rose instead of Juri's head?" "Well, Anthy does have the power of...some kind of god, possibly, so..." "Juri's not going to give up." "Wait...Juri's in love with, or was in love with...her girl friend?"

OmegaTheMetamorphicDreamer Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Spoiler Chu-Chu really looks like some kind of weird fusion between a monkey and a mouse. He looks like both animals, and also neither at the same time, if that makes any sense. Just how many knives does he have? What makes anything girly or ...boyish?... anyway? The shadow girls in this show are so... random. 1 hour ago, KuraTheChibiCrystalKitty said: "Wait...Juri's in love with, or was in love with...her girl friend?" O.O I had a feeling she might've been. While I was watching I thought 'wait, Juri didn't explicitly say whom she was in love with. I wonder...' and it looks like my suspicions were correct. Link to post Share on other sites
KuraTheChibiSleepingBeauty Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Kura Watches: Revolutionary Girl Utena Spoiler On to episode 8. "Here we go again. This is the third time we've seen this flashback, and we're not even 1/4 of the way through." "Who dares to spy on--oh, of course it's Nanami." "Anthy and Utena are so cute, cooking together." "Nanami, you need serious help." "That's...quite the curry. It's like something out of a video game." "Blah blah blah eggs, shells, revolutionizing the world, whatever." "Yes, by Nanami's vengeful streak." "No one seems to have connected the dots to Nanami yet. Somehow." "Wow, a flip phone." "Wakaba's public declarations of love continue." "Anthy's been cornered by Nanami's henchgirls." "Miki, where did you come from?" "Anthy...slapped her! Anthy...did something for herself for once!" "...Oh. They swapped bodies somehow." "Must be magic curry." " 'That's silly!' Nanami, don't you know what show you're in?" "Miki, why did you buy those photos when you knew they were made by stalkers." "Touga, where did you come from?' "Oh, they're there, too. Does everyone have teleporting powers in this episode all of a sudden?" "Nanami's playing the innocent little sister act again." " 'and I don't believe you.' Oh, Utena!" "This isn't Ouran! How can you just jump on a plane and go to India?" "Divine justice? Isn't that an oxymoron?" " 'If you do something bad, bad things will happen to you.' Um. That's not how that works. I mean, that's kind of what the idea of karma is, in a very broad, simplistic sense, but...who's defining 'bad'?" "The shadow girls are playing cowboys. How are they still getting weirder?" "Nah, complimenting yourself is a great idea." "I'd love to know how Nanami started a stampede of elephants." " 'it doesn't matter to me if we stay this way. I don't care about what I look like.' Oh, Anthy. From anyone else this would sound empowering, but, this is Anthy. She doesn't care about herself at all." "Throw him over the horizon!" "...What." "What the Helheim is he doing?" "What promise? She never made a promise." "Kick him! Kick him where he'll really feel it!" "The secret spice...that probably doesn't exist." "Somehow they all survive that, because of course they do." "Um, no! He's a delusional entitled narcissist!" "Chu-Chu, go away. I can tell that this will be the new 'Meelo, go away' joke." "Throwing it in the trash is probably a very good idea." "Anthy, do something for yourself for once." Utena, how could you possibly ever feel sorry for that creep?!" "That elephant seems to have it in for Nanami." "Utena, you are so, so naïve! I mean, I'm pretty naïve, but even I'm not that much! Or is she planning something?" "...Elephants...on...surfboards..." "Oh, Utena. You've got something planned, for sure." "Oh, Utena, that was brilliant!" "Time to run away." "That's one heck of a tan." "The elephant followed them home. What." "Is this where the banana peel joke from Ouran came from? Or is this just a coincidence?" "Now everyone's going to swap bodies. ...They didn't? Too bad. What a missed opportunity." "That's still not how it works." "Then...what made them swap bodies? ...Anthy's cooking? Well, she does have divine powers..." "Don't let him in! Don't let him in!" "That's just...messed up on too many levels." "So...how are they going to repair the whole building?" "I don't know whether to laugh or..." Link to post Share on other sites
