This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

That's right! To celebrate the total destruction of the world, we're coming to you with a live stream of the best Utena we can find!
This should be very exciting! I can't wait!
As far as an actual roster goes, it's up for question right now. Post what episode(s) you'd like to see, and we'll do our best to make sure we cram as much Utena in to our session as possible!

I'll nominate episode 13, which is where we first get to meet Akio, 19 and 20 for the Wakaba mini-arc, episode 25 as the beginning of Akio's eponymous arc, and episode 33 for being his moment of absolute bastardry.

LiveStream has mobile support, so you should be able to. Not sure how it'll turn out, but with a decent connection, you'll be fine.

Does this site have chat features so we can discuss the episodes as they play?
Offline
I forget, do you have to make an account to watch it on Livestream? I know there was one site where you didn't have to, but I'm not sure which one it was.

If you have footage of the Utena musical, I'd suggest streaming that! It's something many of us won't have seen, and although it's mostly pretty terrible, it's comedy gold. Also, it contains the lost lyrics to the Student Council theme, and the Shadow Girls have their very own song.

It is not mostly pretty terrible!
It's mostly lovely. There's a beach ball. The songs are catchy. And, I'm sort of in love with stage Touga and stage Anthy. Without the "sort of."
(It's a terribly awkward adaptation, though. And Dios looks a bit like someone's stoned granny.)

Yes, it does. You do have to be signed in to do that, I think, but there is a place for you to rant and rave to your heart's content.

You don't HAVE to, and I can try and set it up that way, but it helps in the long run, weeding out would-be flamers, eh?

I know of that truly horrible thing you speak of, and will do my best to have it.
Okay, so so far, roster's looking like:
Middle School Musical (oh, I so punny)
Episode 4 and 5 (Miki story so good ya'll)
Episode 13 (DUNN DUNN DUNNNN)
Episode 19 & 20 (Wakaba arc makes dem feels come out real good)
Episode 25, 33
Still open to more suggestions! We've got a big block to fill!

Anyone mind if I spread that link to some outside folks?

Hmm. Well then, I'll try to be there, account made or not!

It's okay with me if it's okay with Florence!

I'm down, if they're up for the raunchiness, debauchery, incest, and such, and then watching Utena.

Aw snap!

I got deja vu reading this thread..
I like eps 34 and 37 :3 Or maybe the Ruka episodes?
Offline
I second episodes nineteen and twenty. Let's throw in Nanami's Egg too just for laughs.
Offline
I nominate episode 38 & 39 since some of the series most powerful come from these episode

Middle School Musical (oh, I so punny)(working on obtaining)

Episode 38, 39

Any other suggestions are totally welcome.

Hum, well how long is it going to last for? Because if there's time I would say just stream the whole series. But I guess you don't have that much time if you're asking for suggestions. Why not episode 7 because of Juri. And they episodes with Ruka in it. (It's been so long since I've watched the whole series I don't remember the episode numbers...)
Offline
Speaking from experience I don't think you can stream all of SKU in a day. I marathoned it to show a friend and it took at least 12 hours just to get through the akio car arc
Offline
Oh gee, does the link say how long I'll be broadcasting for? Oh, by golly, it does! What does it say?! That I'll be broadcasting for only four hours? Wow, who'd've thunk that'd be on the link!
Sarcasm aside (though, I do kind of miss it already), I know I can't get through the whole series. That's why I asked for suggestions.
The_AssMan (90s, aaah), time depending, I'll throw in more Juri and Ruka. The musical is taking up a big block right now, so we'll see what time allows for.
Offline
OK, four hours. Sorry I asked but when I checked your page all I got was a page saying I needed to log in to view it and I was to lazy to create an account then. Well anyways, this still sounds like a good idea. I just might create an account to watch this on Friday. Come to think of it, watching a live stream was how I spent the last apocalypse as well. Such a good time was had that day.
Offline
Neat. I've never done a livestream thing before so I'll try to participate. What time does it start? (Please specify what timezone you're using so I can convert it to mountain standard time.)
I also vote for episode 7 because of Juri. And episode 34, 38, and 39 because they were really powerful episodes.
I like the inclusion of Miki's arc too.
Offline
Awesome I'll have to join y'all for this!
Also, the news message at the top of the forum made me laugh so hard.

If you want to include all those episodes and the movie, you'll have to start earlier. But there's always cullin' to be done!
