juris story is painful
i choose to believe in the miracle
oh i so much much hope the no happy endings for lesbians trope will be subverted
i like how utena is now as naive as everybody else, there can be some good character development
and naturally i hope that shiori also realizes something, like maybe the fact why is she so obsessed with juri for example, they can turn this around right?
all of them must turn out gay no other option i have high hopes for this show, but it being from 1997 is a little scary, but if everything turns out well the more excitement
im really love this show cant believe i dropped it after a couple eps last time

I guess this was the Captain Ginyu episode. Just because you steal the power of someone strong doesn't mean you know how to use it. I was hoping Juri would acquit herself better this time using her surrogate.

The writers of this anime are really doing next level stuff here. The layers of Shiori, the honesty, and way the story is playing out makes these characters feel realer than the majority of anime characters I have watched before.

As a guy, I've studied female interdynamics for years, and can appreciate the subtle touches this anime is going for. But I guarantee the version of me in my teens and twenties would have missed the majority of the subtext and context of this episode. I wonder how women and gay guys felt watching this anime. Did they feel seen and understood?

I'm still not particularly interested in yuri or BL stuff, but I can certainly appreciate high level storytelling when it's presented to me.

Shiori is a REAL woman. Which is a crazy thing to say about an anime character in a world where people pull swords out of chests and elephants ride on surfboards.
