This gallery is a long-term project that started over ten years ago with one goal in mind: being the largest, most thorough, and most high quality resource for the artwork of Utena on the net. Period. It was overhauled in 2008 for the 10th anniversary of the series, with each art piece receiving exhaustive attention for image correction, compression removal, and completeness to the best available copy. Much of the artwork is offered at full size in lossless PNG24, the product of hours of work by yours truly. The show and movie were screencaptured at this time second by second, including pieced together panned shots and integration of higher quality scans from elsewhere into the series content. In 2013, with the release of the remasters, Blu-Ray releases, and the new content from the Utena art exhibition in Japan, the gallery has seen a Rennaisance of new content. In 2013 it was also rebuilt, moving from an essentially broken piece of software to a newer, more modern program that promises to be be a better way to provide an obscene amount of content to you folks. In the meantime, the links to old screenshots of the television series, which accounts for the majority of direct links, are being preserved by leaving part of the old, broken gallery, intact.

         * How to Navigate
.

 
Use of the gallery should be fairly straightforward, the content is sorted by subject. Anime or movie, artwork or screenshots, etc. Aside from the obvious clicking on albums to see their contents, this version of the gallery is modded to include a titlebar navigation of all folders of the gallery. This allows most of the gallery to be within two or three clicks of the main page; an impressive feat for over 10,000 images!

The rules for use of these images are simple. Do whatever you like with them. That's what they're for. Make website layouts and wallpapers. Print them out and plaster them on your walls. Use them to analyze and recall events from the story. I'll even allow, within reasonable limits, the use of no more than fifty or so images at a time for your own site galleries. All I ask is that when and where you do use them, you credit me, and link back to Empty Movement. The gallery is meant to be a resource for you, the fans, to use as you will, but I put a staggering amount of time and money into that resource and would appreciate being credited for it. If you have any questions about using these images, please contact me: Giovanna (giovanna@ohtori.nu)
Where the issue of direct linking is concerned: Members of EM's forum, In the Rose Garden, may direct link from the gallery into forum threads as they like, since it's our forum anyway. (To get the absolute URL of an image for pasting into a thread, right click the image and 'Copy address'.) If you're posting elsewhere or using the images for your own site, move them to a Photobucket account or your own site hosting, please! Don't make me turn off direct linking.

There are many people I have to thank for contributing to this project. Some offered content I couldn't obtain on my own, others offered coding help, and still others were there just cheering me on when I got aggrevated with it.

Thanks first must go to Yasha, who co-runs Empty Movement with me. Not to cheapen her imaging contributions, but without her listening to my bitching about Photoshop this and PHP that, I'd probably have had a vector-induced brain aneurysm. Similarly, the members of In the Rose Garden offered support, cheering me on. Thanks guys. :)

In 2013, I opened the forum to donations via Paypal for the maintenance both of the website and this gallery. People came through in force, and I can't thank all of you enough for helping curtail the ridiculous cost this site

Numerous people contributed content to the gallery, foremost among them Blade (C&A Productions), who must be the only other person on the planet that would sink so much time into a gallery. The game screenshots and sketchbook, the Newtype art special, the game cards, and many of the character design sheets were donated by him. Also, the screencaps from the series that were on the old gallery were his, though I've since recapped them myself. Sorry about that, Blade. ;)

Rushita (Rushita.com) contributed the absolutely gorgeous E-graphics cards from the movie, which you can tell by the elaborate border art. She was even so kind as to rescan them for the new gallery at unholy resolution, and what you see now is the result of my cleaning those scans. MissMocha, of forum fame, purchased and loaned me a gigantic collection of character designs from the movie, as well as background art. Frosty, also of the forums, helped her pay for this rather pricy piece of SKUdom. They both still owe me naughty fanarts of Akio.

Other forum members also contributed: Dani loaned me two books with new artwork, as well as the secret to the specific model of Akio's car. (Yay!) Arki and Frosty helped clean up scans of the character designs.

Special thanks are also due to the forums members that are helping me with the tedious process of writing the search tags: MissMocha, satyreyes, and Frosty. (Yep, there are a few repeats here. You guys are awesome.)

Various scans and odd ends were donated by people over the years. Thank yous go to Himemiya, Fireye, Kiryuu, Shirono, wanderingstar, Laurie, and Kimi. Further love goes to Almaser, Copyman, Mylene, and dundundun of the forums for providing source material for the addition of the new material from the DVDs.

Thank you all of you! :)
