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

Tell me what you think 
Doing Akio based amvs is harder then I expected.

Dude, sweet. I admit I've always had a weakness for NIN. Also...no Closer? (I know, I know, it doesn't fit that well beyond the obvious.)
Mm. Loud. 
You get a

Akio, you have nice turns of phrase, but your points aren't clear and you have no textual support. I can't give this a passing grade.

I was totally waiting for Gio to reply to this. I'll definitely check it out when I'm home. Screw no streaming media at work. 
The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

Yes, yes, I know. Akio is mentioned and Gio magically appears as if lured by the Sirens.
Actually I've spent a lot of the day writing an essay about Akio and sex, so....

Yay poptarts! I'm glad you liked it, and I was actually planning to do a Shiori/Juri amv to Closer.
Edit: Wait, what? Akio and essay and sex? Where?

Iris, I really liked this one. The mood you created was awesome. You are also getting much better technically.

No, 'cause you're a big NIN fan too. I was all "Oh, Akio and NIN...Gio where you?"
Or am I thinking of the Pumpkins?

Great AMV! I don't usually listen to this kind of music myself, but watching this video gave me an appreciation for it.
The lyrics suit very nicely, and wow, nobody would think SKU was a shoujo series if they watched this. 
It's so provocative and dark. It really makes Akio seem like a frightening villain, which I liked.

Have not yet seen the AMV, speakers are still not functioning yet.
However, I critiqued the essay last night and it's fucking awesome. You will love it.

Heh, I guess you're right, it doesn't look very shoujo at all. Frightening scary Akio is best
Purplepolecat, thanks It took me a while, but I think I have the hang of it now.
Yasha, sounds awesome! I can't wait to read it.
