Utena: After the Revolution (with Rose Bridges)
Covers all the short stories in Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution by Chiho Saito For the 20th anniversary of Revolutionary Girl Utena, we were gifted this volume of short stories (one for Touga and Saionji, another for Juri and Shiori, the final for Miki and Kozue) that function as a "sequel" of sorts to the Utena anime (not the manga). Anime scholar Rose Bridges comes back on the Shojo a Tell to talk about Utena without Utena (sort of?). Rose and Ashley debate which story of the three is the strongest, what it means for there to have been a revolution if the characters haven't really changed, and why the heck Nanami keeps getting so slighted. REFERENCES Utena: After the Revolution is available from Viz Media You can read Rose's review of the manga on Anime News Network here Pick up a copy of Rose's book about the music of Cowboy Bebop Rose has an article coming out in Mechademia Ohtori.nu is a great Utena resource References: Legend of Galactic Heroes Sarazanmai Outro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by Danosongs CONTACT US Follow Rose on Twitter @composerose Follow the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, or Tumblr Follow Ashley on Twitter @AshMcD00 If you have any comments or questions, you can email shojoandtell@gmail.com
