OOOOOTEEEENAAAAA You guys love the hovers, don't you? Well fine. Actually, I'd rather be masturbating than doing this. Kiss baby kiss, bang baby bang, suck baby suck...
MIDTERMS WEEK IS THE IDEAL TIME TO WORK ON WEBSITES
 

       The three box sets presented on this page were released in 2008 and 2009 in Japan to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Shoujo Kakumei Utena, which began its television run seemingly an age ago, in 1997. The material, from the music to the images to a couple minor changes in the scenery, has all been remastered in these gorgeous collections, which include bonus materials and packaging finally worthy of the work inside it.

       This page is meant to be a reference for anyone interested in obtaining these, or more likely, anyone wishing to drool longingly over their existence. It would cost upwards of $800.00 USD to make these imports yours, but for some of us, that's an option, and for the rest of us? Well...maybe they'll come stateside now that CPM, the US company who purchased and released SKU, has gone bankrupt.


       None of this information is my own, since I don't own these. This is a compilation of information that surfaced in In the Rose Garden's thread on the remaster releases. Credit goes to Mylene, Copyman, Sey, IceQueenChigusa, dundundun, Almaser, and others for providing links, updates, scans, pictures, and reviews. Thank you so much. You guys are the best. :)

Once again, thank you, IRG. I hope this little cheat sheet does justice to an awesome thread. WE WERE THERE. Even if most of us were way too broke to partake. ;)
