Posted by arren18 on 11.02.2013, 07:02 AM: Yeah, if you're after a realistic setting then Utena will disappoint. It's thoroughly entrenched in fairytale themes, and you can see that in the setting. Of course, like any good fairytale, it reflects things about the real world too. It also includes a lot of surreal elements that might not be your cup of tea unfortunately. I think the best you can do is try to warm to that side of it, and hopefully as it goes on you'll appreciate it more! By the way, if you think the fantastical aspect of Utena isn't to your liking, you should maybe steer clear of the movie...

Posted by Saddletank on 11.02.2013, 09:50 AM: I'll definitely keep going with it as the black rose series seems to be a lot more interesting. I need to be in the right frame of mind to watch it though. I had a headache yesterday and was in a grumpy mood so I only watched ep.15. Thanks for the fairytale analogy Arren, it helps to watch it if I can put aside my preference for reality-based stories and let the fantasy stuff just flow over me without worrying about it.

Posted by arren18 on 11.02.2013, 01:08 PM: I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying the Black Rose arc! Because of its place in the overall storyline it seems that some people are a bit hard on it, but I really liked the way it reveals more about people who were previously just background characters. Also it features (possibly) my favourite duel. I won't say who's in it though.

Posted by arren18 on 11.03.2013, 02:20 AM: EPISODE SEVEN SPOILERS
|
Posted by Saddletank on 11.03.2013, 10:11 AM: Orphic could edit the first post to announce that the thread contains enjoyment-wrecking spoilers; and the thread title as well. That might help.
|
Posted by arren18 on 11.03.2013, 01:26 PM: Yeah, adding warnings to individual posts is probably easiest, maybe with specific things like EPISODE 26 SPOILER (I forget what episode 26 is) so people are still safe reading things about what they've already seen.
|
Posted by Saddletank on 11.03.2013, 02:19 PM: I've added spoiler header warnings to my posts that contain them.

Posted by Orphic Okapi on 11.03.2013, 07:20 PM: I double checked to make sure. Nope, nothing.
|
Posted by arren18 on 11.03.2013, 08:55 PM: I have a feeling that can't actually be changed unless a mod does it... However, if we go back and add spoiler warnings to individual posts it should be okay.
