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

[AMV] Lady of the Flowers (Anthy)

Himemiya Anthy is the Rose Bride of Ohtori Academy's dueling games. But what exactly does it mean to be the 'flower' of the victor, each and every victor, and the pawn of World's End? How did such a cruel fate get bestowed on what Tenjou Utena would call an 'ordinary girl'?

This amv is an angsty character study of Anthy: the role she's forced to play, the people who force her to play it, and the way she (tragically) chose it and (reluctantly) unchose it for herself.

A special thank you goes out to ChobitFreya who recommended the song and character combo!

Focus: Himemiya Anthy, the Rose Bride
Music: Lady of the Flowers by Placebo
Genre: Character Study, Angst

Auuugh, that's one of my favorite Placebo songs. emot-gonk etc-love etc-love etc-love

Absolutely beautiful. The clips you chose were so perfect, alternating between glimmers of a girl tending to her flowers and a deluge of torture and despair. It really works, both for Anthy and for the mood of the song. etc-love I also thought it was really neat how certain clips were slowed down, sort of symbolic of the strange flow of time at Ohtori.

Re: [AMV] Lady of the Flowers (Anthy)

wink, I have a habit of making angsty amvs that make me want to cry too. emot-redface

Yay dollface, I'm glad you're into that song. It's a gorgeous song, very evocative. Ty for your comments re the editing.

Thanks Estrangere. Sorry there's no place to download it although I think you can get download off youtube (but not at great quality). I often consider making a website to post my fanfic/videos on but never seem to have the time. I'm too busy making them instead. emot-tongue One day maybe.

I agree, BalamiyaVardihi.

Your welcome, Hanayome!

There is also www.animemusicvideos.org...

It's how I got into AMVs in the first place. (That and a friend made the one and only ever Aeka/Ryoko yuri video. God bless Punistation...)

Re: [AMV] Lady of the Flowers (Anthy)

Thanks for the link, Anthiena, I'll look into it.
And Itsuke, those are pretty much my only two talents heh. emot-redface Can't draw for nuts. Can't cook. Can't sing. Can't hurdle properly! But I can give good hugs, and I'm pretty good at eating chocolate and drinking wine. I guess I work hard at those last two.  emot-tongue
