This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Has anyone else seen this? The studio responsible... Best Fishes... seems to have vanished off teh intarwebs, but the parody fandub they produced of the third episode of Utena ("The Night of the Ball") was highly amusing. I think the trailer appeared (among other places?) in the middle of one of the "Sailor Moon Stupid" audio plays, but the only way to get the video was to send off to them for a copy of the CD. It was a pretty cool CD - it even had html-based navigation and extras.
Are folks interested in seeing this thing? And any suggestions on how to host a ~280 meg zip file online for people to download?
(MUCH LATER EDIT: as of now, the Megaupload link still seems to work. Enjoy! )
Finally, to hook you on the tantalizing hilarity:

BitTorrent, maybe? This sounds like a horrible evil, and I'm all about the horrible evil.

I can host it. I have 10 gigs of free webspace lawl.

...ten free gigs of webspace? Yegads. Let's see if we can get this into your hands, then, so you can host it for our new-found community.
Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be able to host it on Bittorrent or anything with my college-restricted ports, and it's a little too big for the free spammy hosting site megaupload. Or, rather, the original CD would fit on megaupload; but the video file was originally encoded in what must be the most obscure codecs they could possibly have chosen. I have no idea how I ended up getting it to work on some computer or another, but then I re-encoded it into an uncompressed .avi, which is like 80% larger. So I could throw the codec'd copy online, but I'm not sure I'd want to inflict it upon people.
I suppose I could send you a CD copy...

Sorry but I can't really accept CD copies due to the fact that:
a) I dont have a computer at home.
b) I use the local college's internet access.

Okay. I re-encoded the video file in XviD so it'd be a smaller file size, and have hosted the parody fandub on www.megaupload.com. Megaupload is ugly, spammy, and feels like it's going to give your computer a variety of distasteful diseases, but it does the job and it's the best I have to work with at the moment.

The contents of this .zip file originally came in a CD case with a cover and back and everything, which I haven't scanned due to my lack of a scanner. Everything is as it was except the video file, which originally was encoded in some weird and obscure codecs, and now should simply require a newish version of the XviD codec.
.deep.blue. (or anyone), if you can get your hands, it might still be nifty to put it on a more easily-accessible webspace.
I'm eager to share this with the Utena fan community, because it's a fanwork that's lost in the mists of obscurity and shouldn't be. Hope some of you enjoy it!

Can you please upload it to YouSendIt or something? Megaupload hates me.

Sure; it'll have to be divided into two parts due to YouSendIt's size limitation (a zip and a .z01), but any decent decompressing program (I use ZipGenius, which is nice and free) should be able to handle it just fine. E-mail me me your e-mail address and I'll pass it along to you.

Yeah, Russian!Nanami is definitely a highlight. Somehow it just fits so well. Touga is definitely a favorite of mine, too, though, partially because he gets so many great lines. "By the way, I'm seducing your troops. Individually."
And then, of course, there's Klingon!Yuuko.

Yeah, the direct link doesn't work any more, but the Megaupload one does. Go for it!

I like the fandubbers' explanation that they gave Anthy the Molly voice because they didn't think people had enough reasons to slap her.

I still haven't watched this. I really should.
