Where is the man with his hat in his hands?

Who stands in the garden with nothing to lose, singing:

GOGAI, GOGAI!!!! Freshly cleaned cover to cover kibbles just in time for Adolescence of UTENA, playing in the North American theaters this weekend!!!!

Art of UTENA - 'Revolutionary Girl Utena' Making of Visuals Book

This 112 page color and black and white combined artbook from 1999 celebrates both the series and movie artwork and production process!! You can now peruse the totally reasonable copy above on the Empty Movement forums, or you can go hit the Internet Archive for the bonkers 8k pixels across per page version!!

One of the interviews featured in this book has already been translated, should you want to read more from Juugo Kazayama about script and storyboarding the series!

This artbook was an early source of some of the rarer pieces of Utena art, and has been part of the Empty Movement gallery for over 20 years! I'm hyped to finally share a copy of it that I think gets across the 'experience' of the book in person as best I could manage! The images have been descreened and selectively cleaned for legibility..a miserable process given the annoying repeating background that the scanner choked on. But my work is your win! Check it out, download it, share it, and enjoy it!!!! :D

Thanks for playing.

This is a song about a whale. NO. This is a song about being Eridan.

An Eridan Ampora fansong. I recorded this with a sore throat so maybe i’m nuts for posting it, but I sorta liked the outcome even if it isn’t perfect. :)

I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip  and I have a friend I pity quite a bit  she said “grab your gun let’s have some fun, share with me your perigees  I have responsibilities, I cannot run!”

“I do not wish the death of any living thing, I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen and put an end to slaughter, but until then I’m keen on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between.”

I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules  but when have angels ever helped me yet?  and magic isn’t real and anyway it doesn’t matter  cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect

the angry death of every hopeful thought  that I might be a lover or a fighter that I’m not  in someones spider web or net I could be caught  but I’m too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot

So what? Do you want me to say sorry?  should I apologize, when you ignore me?  I didn’t ask to be right or to be lonely  or to be hatched into an ugly story

I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares  but then I guess I bored them both to death  And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces  better yet invent a brand new method of ascension

I’m impressed, you’ve managed to survive  but rest assured we’d all be better off dead than alive  cause when they get a-hold of us we’ll all be batter fried  and I’m surprised that nobody’s considered switching sides

So here I am, respectfully and royally destroying  any chance of getting back on your good gills  And I don’t want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple  well then bleeding’s the new breathing, don’t you think I will!

I used to wish the death of every living thing  I might be your killer but you’d never be my queen  so put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreams  I’m done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems

That I am just pathetic, I won’t be overlooked  I’m past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook  I’ve made a manifesto, I’ve been bested by a crook, but never more!  I’m planning on reclaiming what he took…

So what? do you want me to say sorry?  should I apologize, when you ignore me?  I didn’t ask to be right or to be lonely  or to be hatched into an ugly story  to be hatched into an ugly story

Oh my, this pantomime is getting gory

I am a prince and I live in a ship  I am a prince and I live in a ship

TEN YEARS GOG ALMIGHTY

free idea this idea is free just saying in case anyone wanted an idea but if dropout tv wanted to do smth really cool in anticipation of upcoming (scary) TAG negotiations this summer they could 1. form a small union animation studio/contract a union studio for their d20 shorts or 2. have a pencils down larger series featuring TAG artists and also talking about union things... btw if anyone cares

so you WERE listening @dropoutdottv
